Award shows by their definition have always been superfluous affairs that give unnecessary praise to celebrities in order to placate their massive egos, all under the guise of a competition.

You

DEAD: Eugene J. Polley

The inventor of the first wireless remote controlled television has died, probably due to laziness related reasons. Should this guy’s work be praised?

Robots Approaching End Game

The net is a buzz today with reports of a woman controlling a robotic arm using only her brain. The underlying point of concern here is that this really isn’t a woman controlling a robotic arm using her brain, it’s a robotic arm reading the woman’s mind in order to get directions. Let’s stop right

Octomom Seeks Sympathy as She Files For Bankruptcy

Published by in health on May 1st, 2012

The Octomom is bankrupt, both financially and morally. This should come as no surprise given that she’s a single mother of 14 children (8 of whom are octuplets). Seriously, what kind of doctor would go through with any of this crazy woman’s procedures?
