Sorry for the day late post. I was just so preoccupied with the divisional playoffs, updating my picks column with my vote for the ten best NFL divisional playoff games ever, and other things that aren't necessary to mention yesterday to write it until now. Now, then, without further ado, here is this week's installment of my votes for the week's best stuff:
Tattoo of the Week:
I also knew that Gucci Mane was more of a three scoop type of guy. In all seriousness (no its not), I think that Gucci Mane really wants to go back into that mental institution.
Video of the Week: "The Marshawn Lynch Touchdown, As I Saw It"
How could you possibly make one of the greatest runs in NFL playoff history even BETTER? By adding Super Mario Bros. music, of course! This may rival the "Dawg, Greg Jennings!" video as the best and funniest NFL related video of the past year.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: President Obama Gives Speech in Tucson Shootings Memorial
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Man Sues Company Because Its Penis Enlargement Brand Didn't Work After 500 Hours of Use
The real loser in all this is the man suing the company. Not only is he claiming to the world that his willy is small enough to take an enlargement supplement, but he also admits that he was dumb enough to try this same product for 500 freakin' hours! I mean, did he actually still think that it might have worked after, say, 300 failed hours? Or 400? And I thought Canadian had smarter school children than America.
Uprising of the Week: The Uprising in Tunisia
The uprising was supposedly spurred on by WikiLeaks and enabled through Facebook and Twitter. Great, another reason for Julian Assage to show that creepy smug smirk of his!
Sibling of the Week: Brett Favre's sister, Brandi
for being arrested in a meth lab along with four other people this past week in Mississippi while the five were "cooking." Jesus, the one week that the big Favre leaves the national spotlight, another takes his place. When will we have a fortnight in which we never even mention what that family is doing? 2014?
People of the Week: The FOX News Pundits
for proving once again that they shall not back off of their obvious political sentiments against President Obama and the Democrats no matter what, no even something as mournful and emotional as a memorial for a tragic shooting that killed people including a 9 yr. old girl and injured dozens. On January 12th, a mourning took place at the University of Arizona in memory of the six people that were tragically killed by an insane lunatic by the name of Jared Loughter during an event held by congresswoman Gabriel Giffords, who was too shot but managed to survive and has made great progress in her recovery since. One of the main events of the memorial involved President Obama giving a speech himself to address his thoughts on this tragedy while also trying to invoke hope to the American people listening at the memorial, in front of TV sets or online. You know, Presidential stuff. Overall, it was a great speech by the President, and one that invoked praise by many "analysts" and "TV pundits" listening to it. Everyone except, not shockingly, certain TV personalities on the FOX News channel.
Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't the entire FOX News staff that hated it. Many people that went in front of the channel's cameras in the following hours after the shooting actually praised Obama, including Brit Hume and Glenn Beck himself. But for the most part, there were quite a few that still ended up nitpicking and criticizing the memorial as if it were some banquet speech whereas most other news channels and publications ended up giving it the big thumbs up. Michel Malkin criticized the timing of it. The FOX and Friends gangs criticized the seating arrangement and the use of the Native American preacher as if it were a movie. Laura Ingraham criticized the crowd for its pep rally cheering and called Obama's appearance a "campaign rally."
Again, it should be noted that this was a mourning. And yet, many people on the network in the hours after criticized it and treated it like it the State of the Union address, a completely different event that what it really was.So for piling onto your stereotype as a conservative news network that likes to criticize everything (and I mean everything!) that the President does, I salute you FOX News pundits. And in return, I give you this pointless title for your valiant and brazen achievement.
