People lined up in droves yesterday for a chance to be one of the first 700,000 people to own Apple’s new little contraption, the iPad. 3 months ago the masses were dubious. Now, the same people say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and that it will be a media changer. Here are a few other of this week’s “changers”.
- THE COURTS: Justice John Paul Stevens is “surely” leaving the Supreme Court this year. His efficiency will be missed.
- THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: Now that several priest abuse scandals have been revealed, the credibility of the Catholic Church is almost lower than the quality of leftover communion wine. The Devil clearly has his name written all over this.
- PREP: Want to meticulously craft your personality the way Lady Gaga did hers? Read the new book True Prep, sequel to The Official Preppy Handbook.
- BOMBS: Chechynan rebels killed dozens of Russians this week and all the media cared about was that the bombers were a) women and b) not Afghani.
- STATUS: Ricky Martin’s Facebook profile probably finally says “Interested in Men“.
- SEX: Clinton couldn’t get away with a blowjob so how does the RNC rationalize spending $2,000 on a little SMB?
- SUICIDE: Michael Jackson’s Doctor is now arguing that Jackson killed himself. Srsly?
- WORK: The Labor Department has decided that most unpaid internships are probably illegal. Did they just indirectly stop the recession and make young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 excited about resume building again?
Video of the Week: Stephen Colbert sliced (bread) vegetables with an iPad.
