Blogger Gets Death Threats Over Post [One Nation Under 12]
Really.
A Yahoo blogger gets death threats over post about the recent Vanity Fair cover.
No really. At least that’s what the New York Times says. Someone even got arrested, according to the paper of record.
I’m putting it that way for a reason. Because suspicion in this country is at an all-time high.
Anything deemed left wing or “liberal” is considered suspect in terms of its truthfulness. The same is true in reverse.
Still, this appears to be indisputable. What could possibly be written on a blog that would cause someone to get so riled up that they would threaten the life of the writer?
As the Times’ David Carr puts it, “it appears for the time being, the answer to Rodney King’s eternal question — ‘Can’t we all just get along?’ — is, well, not really.” No kidding.
Junior Seau Castrates a Horse
This should be a headline from The Onion. But it’s not.
OK, Junior (seems odd to call a grown man that but whatever) castrated the horse on his TV show, Sports Jobs, which airs on the “is that actually a” channel Versus.
But. Um. Junior Seau Castrates a Horse. Why?
Actually, there was an Onion bit that this reminds me of. In their fake TV listings section, a network was airing a show called “Would You Watch That?” “How about a bear eating a birthday cake?” the description asked. “Would you watch that?”
How about Junior Seau castrating a horse? Would you watch that?
Now you can. Who says family TV is dead?

Man Killed His Father By Slapping Him
This is odd. A man killed his father by slapping him. That’s what police think anyway. The headline is “Detectives consider slaps to father lethal” and the man is being held on $1 million bail. After the slap, the father “later died of a brain injury” according to HeraldNet.
So next time your kid wants to slap you, be careful. Actually, if your kid is slapping you, you should consider that serious even if it doesn’t lead to brain injury.
Rihanna Wearing Military Mickey Mouse Ears
Oh, and apparently her nipple is showing. Not posting the pics because they aren’t ours, but here’s what TMZ says:
While on the set of her latest video outside L.A. the other day, Rihanna wore her favorite Mickey Mouse ears helmet and unknowingly flashed one of her weapons.
By “weapons” they mean her, ahem. Cans.
Then they said this:
RiR’s bullet bra proved she’s armed and scandalous.
I have no idea what that means.
She’s a lovely young woman but the Mickey Mouse ears helmet is odd. I guess being super hot and having a good voice isn’t enough anymore.

Balloon Boy Rap Video
Falcon Heene, aka Balloon Boy, has a rap video. Sort of.
Falcon’s dad is Richard Heene. The family appeared on ‘Wife Swap’ awhile back. Apparently this video features all three Heene brothers rapping. Really.

So… Maybe sending a kid up in a balloon isn’t all that out of character for the Heene family.
Hopefully the kid is all right. This is a strange story.

Ernie Anastos And The Chicken
There are many great screw ups on television, especially on the nightly news. It’s live. Something slips out. It happens. But this one by New York anchorman Ernie Anastos might be the best one ever.
While doing the Fox 5 news broadcast, Anastos turned to the weatherman and said “Keep fucking that chicken.” He did. Listen:

He apologized, saying that he meant to say “keep plucking that chicken.” I make that mistake all the time.

Dad Punches Dad at School Event
Parents’ night at school is always fun. You get to meet other parents, the teachers, maybe punch someone in the head.
Wait, what?
A Connecticut papa punched a fellow parent during an “open house” at a North Haven Middle School. “Rodney Rivera, 32, got into a fight over a debt he believed he was owed, police said. The victim and his wife called police from a classroom, the New Haven Register reports.” He was charged with “third-degree assault, breach of peace and threatening.” A woman who lives with Rivera, Catherine Sullivan was also arrested “on a breach of peace charge.” I guess she didn’t actually hit anyone.
I always figured I’d embarrass my children by playing Slayer when his friends come over. Beating up other dads isn’t even on my list.
