- 4 Two Vancouver activists got sorta naked and sat on big platter with veggies in an effort to protest the tradition of eating turkey on Thanksgiving. Obviously anyone in their right mind would rather eat an animal rights activist than a turkey dinner, but no. That shit just isn’t ethical yet.

- 2 Some say there has been a tuberculosis outbreak in Port Alberni, and some say it’s because everyone there is addicted to crack.

- 5 The Myanmar Junta has unplugged the internet in an effort to silence the Myanmarian people during this latest bout of bloodshed/mass imprisoning. In response, the monks and citizens of Myanmar have issued a plea to the rest of the world, begging for no one to “force win” on Scrabulous before this period of upheaval has been resolved.

- 7 3,200 South African gold miners have been trapped 2,200 meters underground in a collapsed South African gold mine. Sounds like there’s about to be one seriously blingin’ par-tay!

- 1 Britney Spears’ record label, Jive Records, has made a public statement in which they officially blame the media for her meltdown (um… no shit). However, they go on to say “People say that’s the trade you make, that you have to give up your privacy or the ability to lead a normal life, but sometimes you make that bargain before you realize what it entails and it’s too late.” Well, yeah. That would be a completely acceptable complaint, if she hadn’t just made a new music video, released a new single, recorded an album and acted like a fucking junkie on live TV all within the last month. If you want privacy, then get some privacy. But don’t do a bunch of shit that puts you directly in the spotlight, and then go throw up your chicken nuggets about it.
