- 1 Take extra care when the men in the white van come to the door this Christmas. Not only might they be there to take you away for good again, but they may also be trying to bamboozle your food bank deposit. You decide which is worse.

- 1 The Salvation Army is having a crappy time asking for change. So crappy that in many cases volunteers have been seen hiding their shoes, getting hosed on Scope, crying for five-hour periods at a time and/or sleeping with really filthy cats during their shifts. Just to get through the day, man.

+1 MTV forced Eva Mendes to pick up needles and cook meals for the un-famous at the Portland Hotel as part of a new show called 4Real, a spin-off where parents from My Super Sweet 16 bid on Hastings Hotels and race to transform them into themed boutiques.

- 1 It’s spooky how the cops find a reinforced minivan or two, somebody throws that in the internet pipe and sends it over that-a-way, now suddenly people are talking like it’s some kind of wonderful Mad Max sequel up here.
