End of the Week: 03/25/12- 03/31/12

END OF THE WEEK:

We're minutes away from the month of April. But before that happens, here's a quick recap of some of the best and most memorable moments from the last week of March to send the past seven days out on a proper note.

The "WHY?!?!" Announcement of the Week:
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito to Make "Twins" Sequel with Eddie Murphy As Their Triplet
I checked my calendar twice when I first read it to make sure that it wasn't April 1st. Nope. Not a joke. And just when I thought when the film industry had made some progress...

Video of the Week: "Arrested Guy Sings Bohemian Rhapsody"
After trying to make a half-assed excuse for being innocent, the intoxicated man just started to sing the song out of nowhere. In its entirety. With the instrumental interludes and everything! At this point, there's nothing more that I could say. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy this major feat in drunken coherence.



Lottery of the Week: The U.S.'s Record $640 Million Mega Millions Jackpot
Somewhere out there in Kansas, Illinois, or Maryland, lies the three luckiest individuals of all-time.

Stories of the Week:
-
The Actual Story of the Week (Besides the Presidential Election): Supreme Court Holds Hearings on 'Obamacare'
It's Obama's biggest legislation as President under trial. I think it's safe to say that millions will be following the rest of the precedings closely, up until the final opinion by the majority.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: James Cameron Reaches Pacific Ocean's Deepest Point
This is the kind of stuff you get to do with two $1 billion+ movies under your bag.

Demonstration of the Week: Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush
for being removed from the Congressional floor on Wednesday for wearing a hoodie in honor of Trayvon Martin, who wore a hoodie on the night of being shot to death by George Zimmerman. In a way, the man who ordered him out of the floor makes a point. Taken out of context, though, it looks more like he was trying to make his best Unabomber impersonation.

Person of the Week: MSNBC News Host Lawrence O'Donnell
for airing what is by far the hardest hitting news interview in ages on Monday...if by "interview" you mean an angry one-sided Q&A to an defenseless and uncooperative chair. In the middle of the 03/26/12 telecast of his MSNBC weeknight show "The Last Word," O'Donnell began discussing the latest developments in the much talked about case of Trayvon Martin, who was murdered last month in Samford, Florida by neighborhood vigilante George Zimmerman, including Zimmerman's claims that he was acting out of self-defense. What was supposed to happen next was O'Donnell interviewing Zimmerman's attorney, Craig Sonner. The only problem was that Sonner, who was seen being interviewed by Anderson Cooper three days before, cancelled his interview with O'Donnell at the very last minute and walked out of the studio in which he was supposed to appear on camera.

But, unfortunately for Sonner, the man did this to the worst man possible, as O'Donnell then went on spending the next ten or so minutes furiously pointing out the newest developments and speculating why Sonner chose to bail out at the last second. Then, this incident occured:



Yeah, take that chair! So, remember, kids: never change your mind about being on "The Last Word" at the last minute ever again, or prepare to have your furniture meet the wrath of the O-Dog.

And that's the way it was! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
