In The News
It has been a big week for American icons.
We started off the week with the devastating news regarding sweepstakes giver-awayer and old partner of Jonny Carson, Ed McMahon‘s death. I guess it was about time, seeing as he was old enough to remember when Moses was a guest on the Tonight Show. This news was quickly overshadowed by the death of another celebrity.
As many of you know, international sex symbol of the 70′s, Farrah Fawcett died of cancer this week. Fourty-year-old men the world over are mourning the loss of the locker room legend of their youth. Although we would have loved to commemorate the death of this sex icon in a manner befitting her beautiful life saga, it was not meant to be.
A few hours later Michael Jackson’s heart stopped beating which, in turn, broke the entire internet. The earth stopped to remember the moonwalk, Thriller, and the little black boy who grew up into the little white (mostly plastic) man. He did, after all, revolutionize music as we know it. You may not like him as a person, but no human on the planet has ever had chart-topping songs 5 decades in a row.
Then, the really mind blowing happened. Our worldwas rocked once again as we learned (via Twitter) that Shaq got traded to Cleavland.
WTF NBA draft?! Haven’t we had enough to deal with this week? Now we have to wait in eager anticipation for another attempt at a Lebron vs. Kobe NBA Final? I’m on pins and needles, and I don’t think my system can go through any more shock… unless the USA beats Brazil tomorrow. Then I might just poop my pants.
