Whack Wednesday! Brangelina's Engaged, This Milk Ad Will Give You Cramps and Murdock's Biggest Deal Goes Bust
JUST IN TIME FOR WHACK WEDNESDAY COMES THE ULTIMATE WHACK: BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA ARE GETTING MARRIED.
Or so says US Weekly which reports that the news comes from three separate sources. The two will reportedly make it legal sometime in the next several months.
This latest wedding rumor just as their usual publicity stunts -- he takes the kids to the set, she speaks about anything -- have failed to generate the usual buzz. But the couple did say they wouldn't get married until it was legal for gays to get married -- a milestone that will reach New York on July 24 and bringing to six the number of states in which same-sexed couples can get wed. Congrats to you two tatted wacky lovebirds.
And here's the rest of the tidbits making this week worth talking about:
Have you seen the "Got PMS? Get milk" ad campaign. Apparently milk reduces the symptoms of PMS, and this campaign is aimed at men who might want to see that happen under their own roof. In addition to the usual magazine ads, there’s a site called EverythingIDoIsWrong.org, where men can verify that they’ve fucked up, among other things. And I’m like, “Really? These fucking cavemen need a whole WEBSITE?”
Look, here’s where this campaign misses: the PMS factor is irrelevant. Men need to use emotional common sense when they deal with women, and 90% of the time, they simply don’t. That’s where they make their mistake. Think about it, ladies: when it’s your time to shine each month, you probably want sugary stuff like pop or a margarita. NOT MILK. So yeah, sport-o, you DID do something wrong. You put this fucking milk in her fridge instead of the pop she asked you to pick up because her RAGING CRAMPS make it difficult to get off the couch without the heating pad.
This campaign sucks so hard. It also makes me remember the assholes who made snide comments about how I must be PMSing instead of actually thinking about the dumb shit they did to make me mad in the first place.
If you thought advertisers verifying your jerky brother or boyfriend’s “PMS” slander was invasive and rude, you really shouldn’t engage Rupert Murdoch’s "news" organizations. This week, the media mogul who famously over-over-overpaid for MySpace was red in the face once again when the story surfaced about his UK publication, News of the World. The reporters seem to have had a penchant for hacking the personal voicemails of celebrities, politicians and underage murder victims (and, in the case of that last one, totally fucking up the investigation). Now, Murdoch has quietly dropped his bid to purchase one of Britain’s biggest broadcasters, BSkyB. Might those two Bs stand for “Big” and “Brother?”
And finally, to cap off the most invasive week ever, we now have a new social networking site, Google Plus, to migrate to. That’s right, folks, the Facebook pool is officially overcrowded. So here’s a quick cheat sheet from Lifehacker that shows you how to navigate the new site, so you can ditch your mom, your cousins and anyone else who’s cyberstalking you, or posting embarrassing pics of your awkward years for your co-workers and various exes to see.
