Bono Hurts His Back

Bono recently injured his back and had to have emergency back surgery. Frankly, I’m surprised that this hasn’t happened sooner. After all, they’ve been touring every year since 1979. In any case, U2 has subsequently postponed the second leg of the North American tour as Bono recovers. Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored at the rescheduled events. News to follow. Did you hear that? C6M + U2 = Still FTW!

Goodbye Lost

One of the most watched shows on television bid its goodbye as Lost ended their long series run this week.  If you didn’t like the way that the series concluded, you’re wrong.  Any questions?  Good because the show was awesome and that’s all there is to say. We’re kidding – and I technically don’t have an opinion about whether or not they needed to answer EVERY question you might have had as a viewer. That would just be too hard. As it stands the show kept you watching and that’s all that really matters, right?

iPhone Makers Reportedly Vow Not to Kill Themselves

Apparently the slave labor in Southern China that makes it possible for the free world to continue to indulge in their love of Apple products has been losing their laborers to suicide…which leads into the other big news that Apple passed Microsoft in market cap.  I guess in China people celebrate the changing of the guard by jumping to their deaths? A simple handshake will do.

WTF?  A Smoking Toddler?

This one you have to see to believe.  But this has recently been making all of the headlines as this toddler has been smoking since being 18 months old.  I would add something else to it, but I can’t.  There are no words left except to say that yes it’s real. And it’s in one of those third world countries where apparently if you don’t have a bottle, you slip your children a cigarette to help them go back to sleep. Proof that anyone can make kids, but not everyone should raise them.

Woman Suing After She Fell Asleep On a Plane

Who knew that you could make money while sleeping on a plane? Apparently this woman fell asleep on the plane and was forgotten about as everyone including the crew deplaned leaving her for the cleaning crew to discover several hours later. She is now suing for false imprisonment because airport security needed to ask her a few questions before exiting the plane like, “Why are you still on the plane?” Yeah, they may have been a little mean about it, sure. But c’mon…if I had to guess – it’s because she looks like a terrorist. Right? Right?

Whatchutalkinbout?

Former child star Gary Coleman Hospitalized on Thursday after suffering a fall and is currently in critical condition. The actor who starred on the hit sitcom Different Stokes back in the 80’s has definitely seen his better days of fame. These days he’s best known for his financial struggles and domestic disputes than he is for those glory days with Willis and Mr. Drummond. Regardless, say a prayer for the man who coined one of the most famous phrases on television.  Here’s to a speedy recovery Gary.

(Editor’s Note: Gary Coleman passed away on Friday apparently suffering a brain hemorrhage. RIP Gary, you will be missed)
