most ridiculous item of the day

Ok taking a page from Dutko's buddy Bill O'Reilly (jackass), i have to comment on the most ridiculous item of the day. First a few ridiculous things that deserve honorable mention...

Not sure where they are in the season, but my favorite show of last year is back on, Beauty and the Geek. Luckily, the same formula is working again this year: make fun of the beauty because she cant add simple numbers and thinks Abe Lincoln was our first president, make fun of the geek because when hes around girls he either makes inappropriate sexual comments or his face turns red. Ok so this show is made more ridiculous by the fact that apparently one of the geeks, Wes, was not really a geek at all.. He just faked it and got on the show because he knew a casting director. Now he is dating one of the "beauties" who apparently also faked how dumb she was. She went to SMU and was an English and Business double major and was also premed! Here is her myspace profile. Now, I feel betrayed by this show. There's something comforting about knowing that there are girls out there who think 1942 was the year Columbus sailed the ocean blue and guys who actually get spontaneous nose bleeds.

Second most ridiculous item is my man James Blake losing to some tall asian dude named Wang in the San Jose tournament on tuesday. No, not that tall asian dude named Wang. Though maybe he and PanPan are related. Apparently that surname is quite rare.

Third is Dick Cheney shooting a 78 year old man in the face with a shotgun, then pondering his cover-up options for 24 hours before telling anyone. The guy just had a heart attack because one of the pellets was lodged in his heart... this is ridiculous alone, but whats more ridiculous is this quote I saw from either a doctor or press secretary or something. The person said between 5 and 600 pellets were still lodged in the man. I mean seriously, can you narrow it down a little bit more?

Ok so truly the MOST ridiculous item of the day comes from Matisyahu. Is that a hacidic reggae jew rapper you ask? Yes, yes it is. I dont think I need to say much more to convince you of its inherent ridiculousness. I saw the dude on MTV and his song was actually quite good. Check him out on myspace music. Dude sports a beard and performs in a suit and top hat. Also read his bio here. HILARIOUS. Reminds me of Informer... a licky boom boom down!
