The Plain Dealer Assumes You’re a Moron…

…and we all know what happens when you assume. As if people constantly asking me at work “is it cold out there still” isn’t annoying enough, now the Plain Dealer has the nerve to publish an article about how to keep warm. This is Cleveland. This isn’t the first time we’ve experienced cold weather. I think we all know we need to layer up if we’re headed outdoors.

Those Smart Kids in High School Are Smarter Than You

We’re dealing with geniuses here people. I don’t know who to make fun of more, the people who did this study, or the Plain Dealer for acting like it’s news. Anyways, the “College Board” (the group of people who administer the Advanced Placement tests in highschool) have done two studies that suggest students who take AP classes do better in school than those who don’t. Really? Is that why those kids are considered “advanced”? Or maybe they’re just trying to trick more people into paying the ridiculous fee to take those bullshit tests.

A Little Advertising for a Cool Dude

The show was last friday, and there should be our own review up of it soon enough, but the Scene also did a little piece on Girl Talk, the mash-up master who showed up all over Top Ten Album lists for 2006 (including Rolling Stone, which had that piece of crap Red Hot Chili Peppers album as number 2). I was at the show, and I hated being sober, but he seemed like a cool dude, so read what the Scene has to say about him here.
