All right, what a week, huh? We had a two year old that smoked his way into our hearts, another failed attempt by BP to stop that oil spill, and one of the greatest stories you will ever hear in the history of this world, and much more. Plus, Memorial day weekend began today, so our week's troubles gets rewarded with a day off on Monday! And that's...that's pretty cool.
So let's get's started. As usual, these are my picks for the most memorable moments of the last seven days:
Deaths of the Week: Actors Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper
Truly a sad duo to lose. One was one of the most influential actors of his generation that will be forever known for his iconic roles, and the other one is Dennis Hopper. Completely inappropriate humor aside, Hopper was a really great actor/director and Hollywood will miss him as well (oh, and those Nike commercials in the '90s? Epic). Now, let's hope we don't start another summer with a unusually high amount of celebrity deaths at the same time (see June 2009).
Video of the Week: "Woman Upset Tornado Interrupts Criminal Minds Finale"
She's right! That local CBS affiliate has no right interrupt her opportunity to find out how the gang could possibly stop the LA blackout killer for something as stupid as a tornado! I mean, yes, she could just watch it online but it ruins the fun of watching it live! Talk about not getting on with the times...
Backlash of the Week: The "Sex and the City" Franchise
You know when a once popular TV franchise has dragged on too long when they've made a movie that is so terrible, longtime fans of the show start to find their episodes less enjoyable and question how they fell in love with their sexual puns in the first place.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Operation 'Top Kill' Fails
So after a couple failed attempts, the intelligent people down at the BP headquarters decided to fill up the hole with mud and junk into it, kind of like putting filling a leak with Mighty Puddy if, you know, the leak was responsible for the biggest oil spills in world history. It took over two days with hard man-work put into it and...it failed. That means we are heading into the seventh week with the Gulf of Mexico being infested with spilled oil. On the bright side, free oil for those who want to get those spilled on land!
- The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week:
Guy Dressed as Captain America Stuffed With Burrito in Pants Arrested For Groping Woman in Bar
Oh Tiger, Tiger, Tiger...
Smoking Baby of the Week: Ardi Rizal
Hey, if I'd known that I would spend most of my life working $5 a day making $120 shoes for Nike, I would find a way to relax too.
People of the Week: People That Have Been Waiting for Summer to Come Along
Officially, summer doesn't start until the June 21st solstice. But with Memorial Day weekend happening right now, the weather getting better, the grilling season kicking off, schools closing, the 2009-2010 TV season coming to the end and much more, this time of the year is often considered to be the unofficial start of the season in the States. So, rejoice summer lovers, rejoice! You're favorite season is back!
All right, that does it. So, enjoy that Memorial Day weekend of yours and I will see you...later.
