lampooned

April 27th, 2006 | Comments Off | Posted in Internets

The Twin Cities has apparently lost its sense of humor.

Each year, City Pages puts together a compilation of the Twin Cities “Best Of”.  They pick the Cities’ best pizza, best radio show, best strip club, you name it. There was a little brouha with this year’s Best Cheap Thrill: crystal meth.

Attention Idiots: It was a joke.

The editor had to go in and explain to all of the crybabies that sent in complains via email or comments on the site that there’s a little thing called satire.  And then came the apology.

I don’t read newspapers anymore, with the exception of The Sedalia Democrat’s obituaries, so you can imagine my disappointment when the one source of information I do count on to be a little edgy has to apologize for essentially crossing the line.

City Pages has ads in their weekly publication for pregnant strippers that will come to your house. A crack (no pun intended) about some ice surely isn’t the worst thing that’s ever been published.

a midweek list

It seems like I don’t get as much as time as I would like to collect my thoughts and share them with you in anything more than a list format. If one of you could add about two more hours in the day, then I could probably swing it!

  • American Idol results from last night? Awesome. It was my most favorite results show to date, and now I don’t dread watching next week’s as much.
  • What’s really annoying is that my fingernails get so dirty every day. I clean them and all, but I don’t even know how it happens. I quit playing in the dirty WEEKS ago.
  • My dog was for sale last night. But we made up and now he’s off the market.
  • Once again, I’m wicked behind on laundry. This seems to be a recurring instance in my life. I think the only solution to my laundry woes is an unlimited clothing budget. I would be much more content buying new polo shirts and khaki pants (I LOVE BUSINESS CASUAL!) every week as opposed to actually washing them.
  • I missed Easter with the family and I’m also missing Mother’s Day this year. Memorial Day is the next scheduled trip to the homeland. The mode of transportation has yet to be decided, but I really wish Riley was one of those trained dogs that could ride on the airplane with me. It would make my decision a lot easier.
