While You Were “Working” (August 7th, 2008)

Here’s some stuff that happened while you were “working”:
- The mayor of Detroit was sent to prison. Remember when you asked how Detroit could possibly suck worse? Well there you go. Happy?
- A Fandango survey suggests that comedies might actually benefit financially from an R rating. Wait a minute — movies have ratings? And here I was choosing which movie to see based on whether or not I wanted to see it.
- The guy who wrote “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” passed away at 59. I could find something to snark at, but, honestly, he’s accomplished more in his life than most people will if they live twice.
- Some dude found HUNDREDS of tarantula eggs hiding in some bananas he bought at the supermarket. Another day, another one of my nightmares becomes a reality.
