Oddities abound!
:: Not actually “weird”, but since I often treat this post as a dumping-ground for all-purpose linkage, I was surfing through the LiveJournal of author Scott Lynch (of The Lies of Locke Lamora), and found this nearly-three-year-old post in which he rants about media fawning over Brett Favre:
ESPN’s Monday Night Football team was egregious about this during the Pack/Eagles game, too. Picture this, now: Donovan McNabb throws 178 passes for 9,762 yards and thirty-six touchdowns. He finds Osama bin Ladin during halftime and snaps his neck with his bare hands. One of his errant passes lands in the stands and touches a small boy with leukemia, curing his cancer instantly. The score is 593-6.
Green Bay is starting from somewhere in their own locker room with six seconds left in the fourth quarter. They have sixty-five yards to go for a first down on their own 2. And still, the announcers say things like “Don’t count this team out yet, because the guy holding the ball is Brett Favre!”
Heh.
:: Speaking of football, I was feeling a bit more charitable toward Michael Jackson, following his untimely passing last week — but not anymore. Grrrrr! (via)
:: Bad Paintings of Barack Obama. Keep refreshing — some of these are hilarious!
:: Gordon Ramsay swears at you!
More next week!
