The Realist's Weekly Recap

Snuggiemania

Am I the only one who is appalled by the idea of the Snuggie being a revolutionary invention? I saw someone purchasing one from Best Buy this week and couldn't help but scoff. It keeps you warm, and it has sleeves. Gee, that sounds a lot like my robe! C'mon people!


Free Money. Sike!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Well, apparently those folks at Burlington Coat Factory never got that memo. It's sad and very scary how easy it is to incite a riot. On the flip side, if you ever need to draw a crowd of 1500 people in under an hour, you could just claim to be a generous lottery winner.

I am no child psychologist, and believe it or not, I have no education whatsoever in human psychology. However, I think I'm able to spot an attention whore when I see one, and I also think I am able to spot a rehearsed response from a child when I see one. And I saw both of those things after "Balloon Boy" and his father took over the airwaves for entirely too long this week. And yes, I most certainly do think that the father and the boy are lying.


Wow. Apparently I'm in a critical mood today! Have a good weekend!
