So.. the super heavy coverage by mainstream media of Katrina has highlighted some of the stupid people in the world.

The day before Kat made landfall.. Fox News showed 5 or 6 people getting ready to go into the ocean..to surf

Today.. I’m reading some of CNN’s coverage on Kat, after her landfall.. and I find this gem:

“Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live,” resident Chris Robinson told The Associated Press via cell phone from his home east of downtown

Uhhh.. hello?!?! if you wanted to live that badly.. how come your dumb ass didn’t evacuate as part of the MANDATORY evacuation??!?!? and how come you called the press, instead of.. oh.. I dunno.. 911 if you wanted to be rescued???????

and then there was this winning quote:

Surging water catches New Orleans residents unaware and boats struggle to the rescue.

Exactly how does anything related to a Category 5 hurricane catch you by surprise? What did it sneak up on you? you didn’t notice the 145mph wind? Maybe you didn’t notice the rain? you didn’t hear about everyone evacuating for 3 days?

Yes.. I realize that makes me sound like an Ass.. but come on! they had like 3 or 4 days warning.. plenty of time to get to a shelter if for some reason you were unable to get the hell out of town…

These are the kind of people that show up as Darwin award winners

In less then 5 hours.. Katrina is going to hit New Orleans.. And if the estimates are correct.. it will definitely be “not good”. If you live in New Orleans and you’re reading this.. now would probably be a good time to find a very tall, very secure building to go to… if you’re in a ground floor apartment.. you’re screwed!

Seriously, if anyone reading this lives in one of the areas that’s going to be nailed by Katrina, or has family in one of the areas.. Good Luck.. I hope you (or your family) was able to evacuate in time, and is safe.

Further proof that women will wear anyting.. There is now a water based bikini floating around.. and apparently, its designed to have cold water poured into the cups to keep you cool…and adjust your breast size, and get you in shape, all at the same time.

From the Sun:

And according to boob boffins, the cold water will even help tone, firm and shape your beach body.

The bra’s filter funnel means bikini babes can top up the water level at their leisure, controlling how cool they keep their boobs.

My guess is the ‘tone, firm, and shape’ portion comes in, as you keep running around to refill your boobs, and escape the stares of every guy on the beach

Two interesting headlines that I stumbled across while working today..

The first one comes from Hawaii.

Its about a woman who tried to stop someone from stealing her car. She did this, by jumping up on the hood. The really interesting part? Apparently, the woman was buck naked while clinging to the car hood to get the thief to stop.

A woman, who was naked, jumped onto the hood of the car, trying to stop the thief, a man who was camping nearby, witnesses said.

(If for nothing else, read the article to see further quotes from the witness.. I found the way he was ‘talking’ to be hilarious)

Now.. what the article doesn’t mention..

• Did she know the guy?
• Why is she running around Hawaii naked?
• Was it even her car?

Seriously.. I mean.. if it was her car, then I can understand it.. but, if it wasn’t my car, I think I’d be inclined to at least put on some pants before jumping on top of a moving car!
And the second, comes from the “people will complain about anything” category

Seems this lady went to the Dr about her health.. and while there, the Dr told her that her weight could cause health problems, and that she needed to lose weight… and this upset the lady so much, she complained to the State Attorney General..

Apparently, even though she knows she’s obese, she doesn’t want to be told she’s obese, and the Dr is bad for telling her. Of course, this means she is also probably one of those people, who if she got seriously ill (like diabetes or something) due to her being obese.. would probably sue the Dr for not telling her she was fat and needed to lose weight…

I Like the quote from one of the Dr’s other patients:

“What really makes me angry is he told the truth,” patient Mindy Haney said. “How can you punish somebody for that?”

So, awhile ago, I was complaining about how protesters who were protesting something so pathetic, that the only way anyone would pay attention to them, was if they had naked people there. Today, I found an article where naked (or nearly naked people) were protesting something worth being naked for!

The reason for a sudden bout of nearly naked women in New York?

The 10 or so women gathered and showed nearly all to protest the arrest of Jill (Phoenix) Feeley, who said she was taken into custody this month after going half naked on the lower East Side.

and why is this protest worthy, and PETA isn’t? Because in New York.. its not illegal for women to go topless. (I know that at least in parts of Denver, its not illegal here either)

And you thought you occasionally had a rough night when you were out. This guy managed to go out and get shot by police.. not just once…but twice during the same night! My favorite quote from the article:

“He refused to show his hands. Then he turned abruptly at the officer and the officer struck him in the same bad shoulder,” Turner said.

So..apparently the first time they shot him, he didn’t learn his lesson and surrender.. Now.. I may not be the world’s quickest learner.. but I’m thinking, that if a cop had just shot me, because I wasn’t listening to him.. well.. to me, that’d kinda be an attention getter..maybe make me stop what I was doing and listen to him.. but.. I suppose that could just be me…

Apparently, I’ve been going about trying to get promotions at work the wrong way. I’ve been concentrating on doing my job, and being good at it…. according to this article.. I should be pretending work is a popularity contest.

Research at Columbia University shows that jobs, pay raises and promotions are more apt to be awarded based on a worker’s charisma than on academic background or professional qualifications.

So.. I need to be liked apparently… so, I’m screwed.. Since I’ve been told I’m kinda an Asshole at work…

Oh Well… Guess I’ll have to be a ‘nice’ asshole so I can get promoted
