The last week of April 2011 sure didn't wrap up with a dull ending. From a wedding that was supposedly watched by two billion people to boos that would warm any football fans heart, this week was memorable on so many levels. Here, now, to break down the best of these moments is this brand new installment of "End of the Week." Let's begin:
Departure of the Week: Steve Carell as Michael Scott on "The Office"
Michael Scott is gone after 7 seasons and 148 episodes, and with it goes away one of the ten best comedies of the early 21st Century as we know it. Now, I'm going to save my thoughts on what worked and didn't work in "Michael Says Goodbye" during my weekly NBC comedy power rankings on Monday. However, I will say that (at least in the parts featuring Michael Scott) the episode was perfect, and a fitting end for were some great years of acting from Carell, a man who the Emmy committee should finally decide over the summer to give him that award he has been deserving for many years now.
Jeer of the Week: NFL Fans at the 2011 Draft
I could honestly listen to this all day. Just the fact that Roger Goodell was finally able to hear what football fans really thought of his actions during this past offseason, being a pawn for his league's greedy owners, and not from his cronies like Peter King and everyone at Pro Football Talk. Though, I will admit, he did find himself a sneaky loophole with the moment of silence.
Hat of the Week: Princess Beatrice's Topper at the Royal Wedding of William & Kate
Even peacocks find the hat design to be insane. Oh well, at least she managed to take some of the spotlight from Kate Middleton.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Tornadoes and Storms Tear Through South; Kill At Least 292
Thursdays tornadoes in Alabama is reportedly the worst to take place in the entire continental U.S. in around 40 years.That really is all you need to know in how devastating the storm was. Our hearts are with those struck the hardest by the earthquake. May they all have a well and speedy recovery.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Duke Prince William of Cambridge Marries Longtime Girlfriend Kate Middleton
So...that happened. Now what?
Video of the Week:" 'Jersey Shore' Gone Wilde"
I only watched one full episode of this series in my entire life, and even I thought that this was brilliant, especially part four.
Person of the Week: Barack Obama
for shutting up (temporarily at least) most of the idiot/racist "birthers" that have been unnecessarily clogging up the airwaves with ideas of the President being born in Kenya by proving that he was, in fact, a full-blooded 'Mericun. On Wednesday, in what (in hindsight) was probably one of the most pointless moments in the man's term in office, the President finally the big issue raised by a startlingly large amount of people over the years, most notably Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and went on a press conference to actually reveal his birth certificate (pictured here, courtesy of Best Week Ever). Now, while this was obviously not something that he was proud of doing, at least he did the right thing by finally alleviating this really dumb conspiracy theory (dumb in that it was sparked by racism and disproved months beforehand) that has been going on as long as he has been the Commander in Chief. Sure those "birthers" will still continue to hate him, but at least they will look for some other, hopefully more logical, way to hate him the next time around. Second, he ended this "birther" situation with class and maturity, not with this arrogant "That take, mofos!" speech, but with a simple press conference (just like an adult should). All that's safe to say now is...you're move, Donald!
-Runner-up: Attorney Gloria Allred, for running the awkward press conference to end all awkward press conferences this past Friday. Man, that's an all-timer, if there were such a think for that category of press conferences.
And that's the way it was! Also, since this is the 300th blog post in this website's history, I would just like to take this time to once again thanking you for reading these site for the past twenty months, no matter how bad in quality it might have gotten during that timespan. Now, go out into the world and have fun won't you? You absolutely deserve it for your loyalty.
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
