END OF THE WEEK:
This weeks installment is a little bit thinner compared to most weeks with Thanksgiving and Black Friday in the States, leaving most people traveling or at home to eat and relax, leaving less memorable moments than usual. Still, that didn't stop me from searching for some of the most memorable moments to come from these past seven days. Without further ado, here are some of them:
Video of the Week: "Cookie Monster Auditions For 'Saturday Night Live'"
You know, the more I think about it, the more terrific it sounds. After all, the Cookie Monster is a much better actor than January Jones. Besides, if Betty White can do it at 89 years old while sitting down most of the time, then why can't it? Lorne Michaels, if you are reading this, please make this happen!
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: North Korea Bombs South Korea's Yeonpyong Island
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, F*CK! So...who's up for a third World War?
- The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Wisconsin Woman Arrested On Black Friday After Allegedly Threatening Gun Violence During Line Cutting Argument
It's stories like these that makes me happy that I spend 4 a.m. or 5 a.m. every Black Friday lying on my bed, peacefully sleeping and enjoying my four day weekend.
Mash-Up of the Week: "Maybe You Should Rise (Lebron and Michael)"
So what if this guy just mashed up two different Nike commercials. He has now set the bar pretty high in the fight for best response of James's infamous "What Should I Do?" ad.
Person of the Week: Kanye West
His fifth and newest studio album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, " which is fantastic if you ever get a chance to hear it, was released this past Monday to both great critical and commercial success. Critically because it received fantastic reviews (including a rare 10/10 from Pitchfork, an "A" from Entertainment Weekly and five stars from Rolling Stone) and critically because it should sell between 525,000 to 575,000 once the week is over (which is pretty impressive considering how most of the songs from his album were already released before the album came out). Then, during a album release concert in New York, he went on the national spot again this week for releasing a ten minute rant in which he spoke of his album's early success, George Bush, Matt Lauer and even Taylor Swift, saying that she used the '09 VMAs incident to bolster her fame. In other words, we got a chance to remind ourselves of why we admire him and hate him at the same time. Thanks Kanye!
And that's the way it is! Enjoy the rest of your long four day weekend!
