Friday Wrap Up: Merry Christmas Y'all


So here I am, on the day before Christmas, sitting at my desk, at work.  This is la-ame.  Funny, I didn't know it but apparently I work for Scrooge.  I work in a corporate office building, and there is no one else working today.  All sorts of companies conduct business in this building and nobody is here.  Hell, even the elevator won't go to any other floors, because they're closed. 

Oh well, I'm not that busy so I'm just playing around on the internet.  Which goes back to the question of why the hell am I working today when everyone knew we weren't going to be busy in the first place?

I have no freakin clue.  Anyway.  Nevermind.  Merry Christmas people.  Here are some of the best looking Santa's helpers I've ever seen to cheer you up right in time for the weekend festivities.

1.  Young boy is pissed that he gets a book for Christmas and not a toy.  After getting a bunch of toys, including a Wii, this little idiot kid freaks out when someone has the audacity to give him a book.  His reaction is what is wrong with the youth of America, people.  As Gawker notes, "This is why we're dumb, folks."  Amen to that.

2. They almost ended '24' by having Jack Bauer die.  The first 3 seasons of this show were much better than the last 4 or however many there were.  To be totally honest, the only thing I remember about the final season was that b*tchy blonde chick who worked at CTU and was on the terrorist's payroll.  (By the way, that would never happen in real life.)  I think it would have been a fitting end to have Jack finally kick the bucket, but I guess they still want to make a movie.  So there ya go.  That's why he didn't die.

3. LeBron James wants the NBA to get rid of the New Jersey Nets and Minnesota Timbervolves.  Well sorta, I guess.  He said that the NBA would be better if more teams had more groups of superstars, instead of guys like Kevin Love being stuck in Minnesota forever, by himself.  He wants players like Kevin Love to leave their teams and go join other superstars, so everyone can be like the Miami Heat.  You know what, I wish LeBron would just stop talking about everything.  Even basketball.  Just shut up already.  LeBron, not every other superstar in the league wants to be the sidekick, like you did.  So just mind your own biz, man.

4. Back on May 4th, 2010, Virginia lacrosse player was killed by her ex-boyfriend George Huguely.  And even though Huguely admitted that he "shook [Yeardley] Love, and her head repeatedly hit the wall", he is now going to claim that the medication Love was taking at the time is what killed her.  Yeah somehow the Adderall she was taking killed her at the exact moment she was getting her head beat in against the wall by this guy?  Sounds totally reasonable to me!  Shoot.  This guy should at least sit and rot in prison for the rest of his life.  Makes me sick that he's trying to get off like this.

5. NY Jets coach Rex Ryan seems to have a foot fetish.  I don't really give two craps about this story, except that everyone is talking about it at the moment.  Two thoughts.  One, if it's true (which is seems to be), why doesn't Rex Ryan just admit it?  Who cares?  Lots of people have fetishes and if this is really part of who he and his wife are, then just admit it.  And two, why the hell do people make video evidence of secretive things that might come back to haunt them later, as with the Ryans in this case?  I don't get it.

Merry Christmas everyone.  Enjoy the weekend and be safe.
