Now that we’ve reached the end of 2008, it’s time to reflect on the past 12 months. What were the biggest surprises? The biggest disappointments? The brightest moments? The dark….. Well, you get the point. Just use this post to talk about 2008!!

Wii, Water, Death

A California woman died of water intoxication while trying to win a Nintendo Wii during a radio station’s water-drinking contest. What do you think?

Tabbitha Martin,
Fire Marshall
“I wish I believed in something enough to accidentally give my life for it.”

Chris Friedman,
Systems Analyst
“Get ready for the most ridiculous series of PSAs in history.”

Robert Lowe,
Dairy Farmer
“They should maybe donate that Wii to someone who really deserves it. Someone who wouldn’t drink seven quarts of water for a video-game box.”

Today’s photo of the day shows Mychal Bell, of the Jena Six, who apparently attempted to kill himself this week. After being caught shoplifting last week, Bell received a level of media scrutiny that reportedly drove him to the edge. I’m not sure we’ll ever get to the bottom of this story, but my heart and prayers go out to him and his family.

Today’s video of the day comes from the O’Reilly Factor, where Bill, Larry Elder, and I debated the “Barack the Magic Negro” song.

Today’s video of the day is another Barbershop Classic. In this video, a high school English comes under fire for his use of the “N-Word”. Thoughts?
