Hock Show Weekned Top Five for August 15th – 21st, 2010
1. Doesn’t the Pope Have Better Things To Do? In preparation of his impending visit to England, the pope has issued a decree. No more vuvuzelas. Yes. Maybe there are bigger fish to fry for the Catholic Church, but it’s nice to see they got their priorities straight.
2. Want to Pay More for Your Plane Tickets, Then Do I Have a Deal for You! American Airlines is offering a $20-40 “upgrade” to “Special Coach” now on any new flights. What’s so special about them? They’re closer to first class! Not in first class mind you, and they’re still the same coach seats as those in the back of the plane…but you get to wait longer for take off and get off a fraction of a second sooner! If nobody shoves you out of the way, I guess.
3. Gamescom Is Sort of Creepy. Gamescom is like the German E3, except nobody really goes there to announce things. Mostly just hand out free advertising and give speeches telling them everything they already said at E3, GDS, or TGS. So what are fans of the companies there to do? Stalk! Bioware’s live feed of the EA booth blew the hell up over the weekend as throngs of nerds tuned in to watch a young, blonde employee (she actually does work for EA) hand out pamphlets and flyers. For hours on end. With screen caps and fan art. Really.
4. BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BREVRE FVFRFD! In a move that shocked literally no one, Brett Favre agreed to return to the Minnesota Vikings this week after teammates Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson, and Ryan Longwell flew down to Mississippi and dragged him onto a plane by his ear. This is the least shocking return from a fake retirement since last year, when Brett Favre agreed to a contract with the Minnesota Vikings after Coach Brad Childress flew down to Mississippi and dragged him onto a plane by his ear.
5. Some Nightclub Says What We’re All Thinking. Muzique, a nightclub in Montreal took to it’s Facebook page last week and announced a big event coming up. How do you get in? Dress nice, shirt tucked in, act appropriately and, oh yeah, No Fatties. If you want to dance the pounds away, go buy Wii Fit and keep Montreal’s club scene in the hands of annorexic French jerks like it was meant to be!

Hi, possibly i’m being a little bit off topic here, but I was browsing your site and it looks exceptional. I’m building a blog and trying to make it look neat, but everytime I touch it I mess something up. Did you design the blog yourself? Could someone with little experience do it, and add updates without messing it up? Anyways, good information on here, very informative.
