Hock Show Weekend Top Five for May 23rd – 29th, 2010
1. Everybody Died. Again. Art Linkletter? Dead. Garry Coleman? Dead. Dennis Hopper? Sadly crushed by an Italian Plummer. Even that dude that accidentally killed Brittany Murphy died. At least, somewhere in heaven, they finally found out what Willis was talking about.
2. Nobody Quit Facebook. Much to the dismay of the two guys that were trying to organize it, nobody quit Facebook on National Quit Facebook day. They were trying to protest the changes to Facebook’s privacy policy, but the fact of the matter is that nobody really cares about anything but sending pictures to their grandma.
3. Nobody Cares about the Indy 500. Some guy named Dario Franchitti won the Indianapolis 500 this weekend, and nobody cared. Seriously, I forgot it was even on. Now, admittedly, I’m not really big on car racing or…non-physical sports in general, but yeah…some guy won the race. Congratulations!
4. Bono Down. Repeat: Bono Down. U2 Frontman and weird glasses fetishist Bono had back surgery this week, forcing the band to cancel it’s U.S. Tour, and likely postpone it’s jaunt through Europe as well. This will likely cost the band in excess of $100 million, which they wouldn’t have given to starving children around the world anyway.
5. American Idol Is Over. I didn’t get a chance to do a write-up on it, but Lee DeWyze won American Idol for some reason. I’m not really sure what the point of that was, America, but if you really felt bad for not having Elliot Yamin win his season, you probably should’ve just gone out and bought his CD instead. Siobhan was the real winner of this season anyway. Well…actually it was probably Simon.
