July 15 2008 Wig-wearing dad robs daughter's work

Happy T-shirt Tuesday.
Wig-wearing dad robs daughter's work
Actually a pretty brutal video of the dad being cold cocked
Look out! Driver crashes into bank
Man sticks finger in big cat cage

This video of Bud lovers discussing the Belgium buy out is pretty great for the social examination of the Bud drinking community after the third pitcher and the montage of commercials. Belgium- out of Germany, right?

May 23 2008 Teen in tux saves stranger in store

Teen in tux saves stranger in store
This is not a rip on CPR class or saving lives- all very necessary and noble causes. This video, however, is creepy in that they just keep cutting to this guy pounding on a doll's chest with that infiltrating noise. I was a little disappointed that he was not in a tux and CNN was promoting T-shirt sales based on their clever title.

May 14 2008 T-shirt seller likens Obama to monkey

T-shirt seller likens Obama to monkey which was so George W. C- for originality.

Catcalling-- creepy or a compliment?
Busy travelers forget toddler at airport, fly on
'Fusion Man' soars above Swiss Alps- pretty cool footage of this guy with rockets and wings strapped to his back zipping around the alps.

nice pairings do not balanced reporting make:
Jack Black confirms: Twins for Jolie, Pitt
Actor tells House of newborn twins' overdose

Moore plans 'Fahrenheit 9/11' sequel
New movies make light of 9/11 attacks

I was cruising down 3rd st. near Larchmont today and a bunch of construction type trucks were lined up in the median for blocks. Possible protest action. If any one has information, please let me know.

May 2 2008 Teacher says bikini caused her firing

Shell pulls out of wind farm. This wasn't a headline, just tucked somewhere in the bowels of CNN.com randomly displayed in the video lineup. It is, however, one of the best examples of CNN's blatant and enthusiastic disregard for integrity minimums and content driven journalism. An unbelievable clip that seems unfinished due to such non-commentary on a topic crucial to the moment. A major oil company pulls out of renewable energy as the peak supply of oil looms in the very near future and the cost has spiked. Yet CNN devotes all of 30 seconds in this 2:19 clip to any form of dialogue. The rest is an ambient VOID.
Teacher says bikini caused her firing
The reporter keeps mispronouncing the fishing boat company saying "Smoke um" instead of "Smokin' Em." This is one of two stories today (the other, Store bans Confederate flag truck ) that revolve around employers' rights to discipline the private lives of employees. It goes well with the video of the Mayor ousted for lingerie pics on myspace that has been listed and relisted on Cnn's most popular videos since February. "That's my space. That's why they call it Myspace." Umm. No. It's pretty much a public space, although post as you please.

Earth Day 2008 Synchronized swimmers faint in unison.

Now that the shock and awe has subsided, I'm really digging this T-shirt icon. It makes the selection process quick and painless. I just scan the ticker until I hit a t-shirt and begin reading.

Synchronized swimmers faint in unison
3 girls were practicing routine drills (down the length of the pool and back on one breath) and fainted at the very end where they descended to the bottom of the deep end. Another girl and her mother suffered shock from witnessing the event. Officials are looking into elevated chlorine levels as a possible trigger.

April 21 2008 CNN seeks to profit from self-ridicule

CNN is now offering select headline T-shirts. No seriously. If you see the shirt icon pictured to the right next to a headline in the ticker, that headline is offered on a T-shirt. $19.99 with delivery. I need a day or so to collect myself in light of this egregious new function. See comments for endless possibilities.
Update: the hackable software was fixed, so customized T's can no longer be purchased. boo cnn.
