in the news

Aw, man, so ridiculous!

From an article in the Onion:


From the city of Toronto's Summer FUN guide:


Woowwwww. Seriously amazing.


"Gawker pointed this out
also Torontoist had a bit on it.


I guess it's a little better that it is a stock photo that got changed, rather than a family cast specifically for the cover shoot or a family that really has FUN in Toronto.

And couldn't they have photoshopped it just a bit better? At all? Really?



In other world news, John Travolta has now acknowledged that his son, Jett (who died from a seizure in early January), was Autistic.
This is news because it is against Travolta's Scientology views to admit that psychological conditions like Autism are real and not just made up in the head.
Quite honestly, Scientology scares the beejezes out of me and I do not like the sounds of it at all. (Also, Scientology: Give back Beck!)
I find this whole story quite, quite sad. Travolta has been absent from promoting his new feature because he's still quite upset by Jett's death.
How hard! How terribly, terribly hard!
Imagine if Travolta feels somewhat responsible for his son's death? Imagine being an Autistic kid whose parents refused to treat it properly?
Scientology seems to be all about pretending things. Trying to use mind-over-matter to change things.
Any way you look at it, it's pretty sad.
