News That’s Not Really News

So it’s a lazy morning and with coffee in hand, I’m perusing the headlines from all over the world  to get a universal pulse (thanks technology!). Now, I’ve long given up on mainstream news but I figure I’ll get as much as an inflected “hmmm…” this morning. Let’s see what’s in store, shall we.

First up in news that’s not really news -

Surprisingly still a headline: Pope… blah blah… sex abuse… blah blah…

Are we still dancing the same Dosey Doe folks? I condemn you all!

Next in the “I saw this coming a mile away” news -

E-mail scams exploiting Haiti earthquake generosity

Mr. Gutsche, you devil, you!  Kanye will have to make another cameo on the next “Heal the World” remix to ask people to donate money for the “stop exploiting Haiti” effort. It will appear on the Heal the World Greatest Hits album.

Then we have the “DUH!!” series -

Men ‘need better-fitting condoms’

So, who were the Einsteins that conducted the research and how many dumbasses participated in it?

And…

We are one public statement away from making another public statement about Iran.

That one was on a more serious note, but worthy of a “DUH!” nonetheless.

And lastly, this story is really a shocking testament to the present state of journalism.

The difference between Canadians and Americans

Time to put the coffee down and verse.
