TMZ does its best Onion impression

TMZ did its best Onion impression today when the site posted an article with the following headline - "ANNE HATHAWAY Prefers the Company of Strangers to Paparazzi." It only gets better from there, or worse depending on your perspective.

Here is the actual content (if we can call it such) of this very article:

"Anne Hathaway's parents didn't raise her right -- because she hopped into the car of a TOTAL STRANGER ... rather than have to talk to one of our photogs.

The 'Bride Wars' star had just landed at LAX and rushed right into the first waiting SUV she could find, but it wasn't her ride. Rather than get out of the car, she politely asked the driver if she could stay until her car came ... and he said yes!

Anne's ride eventually showed and she quickly jumped out of the wrong car and into the right one.

Seems like a risky move just to avoid a TMZ camera guy. What did we ever do to her?"

In a related poll I just made up, 94% of people would prefer the company of strangers to the paparazzi, including 98% of the paparazzi.

When the photographer mentioned in this article was asked the question, "How would you like it if hordes of celebrities followed you at an airport right after your flight landed?," the photographer responded by saying, "Are you kidding? That'd be awesome! I'd just take lots of pictures!" When asked the following question of, "What if they were the ones with the cameras and you were without one?," the photographer said, "Uh..."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i
