Obama wins Time magazine's "Person of the Year." Heidi Montag wins Wired magazine's "Sex Android of the Millennium." That's a Hills joke. Why doesn't anyone in Portland watch this show except for me? Don't answer that.
And speaking of The Hills… Speidi-gate Update! After Heidi and Spencer's fake wedding in Cabo, now they've been caught faking a wedding in the states! There you go, Prop 8 supporters. SATISFIED?
Poor little 3-year-old Adolf Hitler doesn't get a birthday cake. Well, maybe he should've thought about that before he killed a million Jews in the year 2028!
Arctic Apocalypse '08 continues! The National Weather Service predicts that by 10 am, we will all be buried alive under two inches of snow! PANIC!! Oh, sweet Jesus… I can't breathe… I CAN'T BREATHE!
