things that entertain me

today, the internet is for lulz.

• this picture of Secretary Paulson making a face that would be right at home on a northbound Red Line train was on the front page of the new york times website:
  
  
• cracked.com's piece on celebrities that were real idiots with money has provided the world with the undisputed king of similes in its description of Mark Twain: "The man hemorrhaged money like a hemophiliac breakdancing on a bed of machetes."
• also courtesy of cracked.com, in its article detailing terrible, horrible, no good, very bad music trends is a band name that seriously needs to happen. it's talking about the nineties trend of using numbers for words, and then taking it to its logical extreme. they've created a monster...because there seriously does need to be a DJ act called 411 Ur B34tz R B310ng 2 Us.

stupid parent.

once upon a time, there was a guy. this guy married his wife, and his wife became pregnant. the guy and his wife discussed what to name the baby, and decided to name her ava grace. the baby was born, and the guy filled out the birth certificate. there was just one little hitch: the guy didn't put ava grace as the baby's name.

unbeknownst to his wife, the guy put sarah mccain palin as the baby's name. the guy justified his actions by saying he doesn't have a lot of money to donate to the campaign, and commented that he "took one for the cause."

...

now, is it just me, or did this guy not actually take anything for the cause?! this looks an awful lot like forcing his kid to take one for the cause, without the kid's consent.
