The Week That Was, 4/27/07

Hello, yes, this is hopelessly late, but I hadn’t posted one in weeks, so I’ll still do it now. PROMISE a new one will be up on time this weekend.

Let’s begin!

  • Hundreds of people lined up outside a Moscow church Tuesday to mourn the death of former Soviet leader Boris Yeltsin. Though, to be fair, many were confused that it was a bread line.
  • Mexico City is expected to vote on legalizing first-trimester abortions. To push the initiative through, supporters have begun the advertising campaign “What gets conceived in Mexico City, can stay in Mexico City.”
  • Two DJs were suspended this week for an on-air prank that involved calling a Chinese restaurant and asking for “shrimp flied lice.” When questioned about it CBS radio said they suspended the DJs because the bit was “learry fucking rame.”
  • Joe Francis, creator of Girls Gone Wild, will go to jail for 30 days after pleading guilty to contempt of court. The inmates of the Florida prison say they have plans for him: a video series called Inmates Gone Wild in Joe Francis.
  • April 30 through May 4 will be Spider-Man week in New York City. To kick off the festivities, Mayor Bloomberg is expected to shoot a web out of his ass.
  • President George Bush stated that, if the House and Senate pass the Iraqi military withdrawal bill as expected, he will have no choice but to invade Congress.

    AND FINALLY…

  • Rosie O’Donnell announced this week that she will be leaving The View, leaving The Jerry Springer Show as the only outlet for angry lesbians on television.

    Have a great weekend week whatever.
