I don’t think anyone involved in this production thought they were creating anything but trash — nor do I, as a viewer, want anything more. I’m Italian and found ‘That’s Amore’ to be far more offensive.
That’s the message an Italian-American group has for MTV and the cable network’s plans to air a reality show that depicts Jersey shore beachgoers...

Airlines Fined for Trapping Passengers on Plane
Just in time for the holidays — I’m honestly surprised it took this long to happen. At this point, who hasn’t been trapped on an airplane for some absurdly long amount of time.
For the first time, the Department of Transportation has fined airlines for leaving passengers stuck on a plane, a decision that could have a wider impact on the airline industry and the push for a...
WatchWe’re pretty much already over this Real World DC stuff, and the show hasn’t even aired. But we figured at least one more post wouldn’t ruin our day. So here you go, The Real World DC trailer.
This looks terrible — go ahead and watch the trailer, and then take a shower to wash off that RW taint.

Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young performing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. Jimmy Fallon is really starting to grow in his hosting shoes and I’m so excited to see how his show is evolving.

Zoo Sells Reindeer-Dung Necklaces for the Holidays... →
Last year, the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington debuted Christmas tree ornaments made from dried reindeer dung.
Volunteers dehydrated and sterilized the dime-sized droppings and then spray-painted them with glitter. Strung on a wire with beads, the crappy crafts projects were called “Magical Reindeer Gems.”
Think the idea stinks? Think again. News of the “number two”...
Search Google Images for “Michelle Obama” and you’ll find this offensive image as the first hit.
The picture of a simian-style first lady that is rubbing some people the wrong way.
Google is aware of the offensive ape-like photograph, but there doesn’t seem to be much the company can do about it, except to run advertisements that apologize for it and explain its prominent...

When you think of the world’s most prolific pot smokers, certain names come to mind: Snoop, Cheech and Chong, Willie Nelson.
How about Irvin Rosenfeld?
The 56-year-old Fort Lauderdale stockbroker will put his name among the greats when he sets a world record tomorrow for weed consumption while lighting up his 115,000th joint.
The best part is that it’s all legal.

Life sentences sought in Amanda Knox case
I find this particularly interesting, as I was studying abroad in Florence when this case went to court. If you haven’t read about it, you can find some background here:
PERUGIA, Italy - Prosecutors on Saturday requested life in prison for Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend, who are accused in the fatal stabbing of her British roommate during a drug-fueled sex game — charges the U.S. woman...
