I never found out what those terrified celebrities don’t do.

Sopping wet paper.
Here is the paper packaged in its failed prophylactic bag.
And here it is, wet through. Good times.
Reaching fetish levels.
I, too, am a fan of the Portland Airport Carpet, which has it’s own Twitter account. But the breathless and extensive coverage of its replacement is starting to remind me of “Panda Watch” as depicted in the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
Here’s the number one thing that drives me crazy about the Oregonian.
Longtime readers know that I am quite frustrated with the shell of the paper that the Oregonian has become. But here’s my number one hatred. They are so namby-pamby with their changes. Don’t want to publish a paper copy of the newspaper anymore? Fine, stop doing it. That would be better than this four-day a week hybrid we’ve got. Don’t want to have certain features anymore? Just print an announcement that you are discontinuing them. That would be much better than just ushering said feature/person out the door and waiting for us to wonder what ever happened to the guy who wrote the local political cartoons for 30 years. Don’t like the name Oregonian anymore and want to be called OregonLive, even though it’s a stupid name? Fine! Just change the damn name. Don’t start using this weird, wordy, dumb looking hybrid Oregonian/OregonLive. Be the newspaper you want to be and see if we all follow. We probably will. We’ve got nothing else.
Three things from the paper.
Ads like these make me very angry. I dislike the pressure to look a certain way, especially after putting your body through the reverse boot camp that is the process of creating life. I also hate how the model’s torso is stretched out to make her look thinner. And I hate that three surgical procedures (any of which could kill you) are crammed into one day. When I was growing up, my father often bought the Sunday Oregonian (which was available in Boise) and the plastic surgery ads always disturbed me. The Idaho Statesmen didn’t have plastic surgery ads. But I bet it does now.
This is the biggest “duh” statement of the day.
And this just made me laugh. It reminds me of the “learn multiplication facts AND have fun!” nonsense.
