I enjoy Newsbusters almost as much as Mythbusters. They’re a hoot at pointing out factual errors in reporting. And, they LOVE picking on MSNBC. Good reason to, MSNBC is a classic at bad reporting. However, in their haste to show how wrong today’s headline was, I think they missed the obvious chuckle of the day. To wit, a young girl makes a trip to the North Pole. Now, we’d all like to go there, so that part’s pretty interesting as it is. However, the North Pole is a pretty dull place for the most part. Just a bunch of snow. So, to liven up their piece a bit and to turn it into a global warming message, MSNBC embellished by adding melting glaciers and starving penguins. Two problems with that obviously stick out. First, and most conspicuous is the fact there are no glaciers on the North Pole. It’s a flat plain. Secondly, and the part that really got under Newsbusters’ skin, there are no penguins on the North Pole either. However, the best part of it all to me was what Newsbusters totally missed. Namely, this:
Now, to me, that is more exciting than the fact there are no penguins on the North Pole. That name ring any bells? Maybe this will:
Get it now? The babe who needed a canoe for ankle deep water also thinks there are glaciers and penguins on the North Pole.
Man, where was she when I was in college?
that was Mary Ann over and over, but it’s just not the same. She was hot, she was innocent, she wasn’t trashy, she was smart, she was the perfect babe.
The cutest little girl I ever saw was on 
. Winnie Cooper, who was played by Danica McKellar. Now, I never watched The Wonder Years for the plot. All I ever watched it for was a chance to see Winnie for just a little bit. The show itself bored me for the most part. Apparently that was a long time ago. Researching this post, I didn’t realize exactly how long ago it was. Winnie apparently grew up without me noticing:
Now, she hasn’t sat still, but I just haven’t been watching what she’s done. I’m sure most other people have, I just never watched her stuff. She’s actually been very busy apparently:
. I get really tired of girls wasting hot looks and bods on acting stupid just to be cool. They’re fun for one night or so, but if you want it to last, learn something new every day and talk about it. Trust me. I’ve been there, done those. The smartest babe won.
. This is what he’s doing now:
High Hopes ( try finding THAT for sale anywhere! ), and of course, Puff, Puff, Pass. I don’t know how long he can make a career of horrific movies, but I doubt it’ll support his habit(s) much longer. Another child star gone to pot. This one does bug me, I loved Bud Bundy like a brother. Only, his sister was a lot hotter. What’s that? A good time for Kelly Bundy stuff? Okey Dokey!
In 1982 Andrew Ridgeley and Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou burst into almost instant stardom as a group called “Wham!”. You probably know the latter as George Michael. Now, these guys were cute! By that, I mean they wore cute little outfits with trendy expressions on too-tight too-short t-shirts. Not exactly my cup of tea. In fact, it was kinda obvious who’s cup of tea they were. But, the chicks still dug them BIG TIME, so us guys kept our mouths shut. WHAM! lasted a few years, cranked out a few hits, and spit up around 1986.
