Finally!

Not all hope has been abandoned.
 
NEW YORK (AP) — "The Simple Life" is over - at least on Fox. The network said Wednesday it has canceled the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie reality series after the show’s two stars no longer proved compatible.
 
 
Via Fark.
 
I’ll tell you what:  I think that it’s too late for me.  I’m seriously considering selling my television.  Were it not for these things:
 
1.  Sports
2.  The Cartoon Network
3.  Law and Order, and
4.  The Discovery Channel
 
I would have gotten the darn television out of my house YEARS ago.

Who Will Protect The Children?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Students who attend homecoming dances on Saturday will be doing some heavy breathing — into Breathalyzers.

At Santa Barbara High School, officials will screen every third or fourth student who arrives and anyone who appears drunk, said Principal Paul Turnbull. Dos Pueblos High School administrators will use the Breathalyzer only if they suspect a problem, said Principal Quentin Panek.

"There’s a lot of heavy drinking going on," said Penny Jenkins, executive director of the local nonprofit Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. "Something’s got to be done."

Teens partying with alcohol = old and busted.
Teens partying with this = the new hotness.
 
C’mon, it’s HOMECOMING.
 
Personally, I say legalize all drugs and such.  I think that it’s the libertarian in me.

Darn it.  What is Fark going to do about that "still no cure for cancer" cliche?
 


A vaccine shown to be 100% effective against two virus strains that cause most cervical cancer could be available within a year, say manufacturers.
 
Via, of course, Fark and the BBC.
I have this to say about this development, as I’ll have you know, cervical cancer kills something like 275,000 women a year:
 
YIPPIE!  THERE IS MUCH REJOICING!
 
Now, science, get to friggin’ work on breast cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer.  Oh, and pancreatic, prostate, and the others, too.
