Alanis Morisette covering "My Humps"

I'm not sure if there is any introduction needed....

90,000 cubs to be clubbed

Wow. This stuff still goes on...

Hunters are expected to club over 90,000 seals, including 85,000 pups.

The hunt was expected to begin last week, but there was confusion over whether the killings had begun after numerous media reports that a South African-based animal rights activist was in negotiations to halt them.

How is clubbing still a way that people kill seals? Seriously...

Important notice to all politicians (re: Michael Jackson funeral)

Hilarious from musings:

In anticipation of the 'round the clock coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral tomorrow and the toxicology report due to be released on Thursday, if you have (1) an affair you'd like to admit to, (2) an addiction you feel should be revealed, (3) federal or state taxes you have not paid...

Go there to see 4, 5, 6, 7.

And is it kind of sad that in eight years people might be asking, "Do you remember where you were when you heard Michael Jackson died?" just like people now ask "Where were you when you heard about 9/11?"

And some of these people will completely mean it. As for me, I'm having a hard time remembering where I was and it wasn't even a month ago. It only feels like a year since he passed away.

Casey Kasem's last show

Yeah, yeah, I didn't even know that Casey Kasem was still on the air. But apparently the radio veteran is doing his last show.

Mr. Kasem’s weekly playlists of the country’s most popular songs started in 1970 with “American Top 40,” and have been a radio staple since. While he passed the “Top 40” mic to Ryan Seacrest in 2004, he continued to host two abridged versions of the show. Mr. Kasem said in a statement that he “loved every minute” of the countdowns but that the final countdown would “free up time I need to focus on myriad other projects.”

Is F1 boss digging himself deeper after "Hitler" comment?

I don't think that Bernie Ecclestone is a PR expert. At least not judging by his recent comments saying that Hitler "got things done."

Today, Ecclestone comes back with an apology:

"I did not put Hitler forward as a positive example, but simply noted that, before his appalling crimes, he acted successfully against unemployment and the economic crisis," Ecclestone was quoted as saying in the Bild article, which noted that Hitler created jobs through rearmament.

Stop. Talking. Now.

Heads they win, tails you lose

That's how the French cycling community thinks about American cycling legend Lance Armstrong. Need evidence? Check out this from the Associated Press in a story about Armstrong being fined $92 for missing a sign-in before stage 3 of the Tour de France:

Pescheux also criticized Armstrong for not making himself more available to fans.
[...]
Team spokesman Philippe Maertens says that before the stage Armstrong was held up by signing autographs and doing interviews.

Pescheux is the Tour de France competition director Jean-Francois Pescheux.
