Michael Gets Sued!

...No, not Michael Jackson! This time it's Michael Jordon. Apparently, some guy thought he looked enough like M.J. to sue him. Yes, I know. It doesn't make any sense. These lawsuits seem to be getting more ridiculous each time.


He has sued BOTH Michael and Nike for over $800 million dollars for being mistaken for Jordan for what he claims to be nearly every day for the past fifteen years. Yes, that's right, Allen...It really is Nike's and Jordan's fault you think you look that much like him. You have to take the good with the bad. If he is indeed right in his claims, then he might even have taken advantage of that at some point in time. I mean who knows? As ridiculous as the lawsuit is, the amount he is suing for is just hilarious. Look-alike or not, the lawsuit is ridiculous. Does anyone else agree?

Woman asks 911 to send 'cutie pie' deputy.

I mean I don't even need to say anything here. I think the title of the article itself is incredible. Women...I wonder what goes on in their head. Any female readers want to give me an insight here? I wonder what would happen if a man asked 911 to send over a 'cutie pie' female officer? In case some guy there is actually thinking about trying this, you might first want to know what happened to the woman first. She was arrested and got a court date. A guy might even get a stronger sentencing. However, that is just my speculation and it must be noted that I am not a law student.

World Cup breaks in Italian hands

Yes, I was wrong. Italy won the football world cup in case you were hiding under a rock and hadn't heard already. But what's this? A broken trophy? According to the Times of India (TOI), some Italian Newspaper depicted on its front page Fabio Cannavaro holding something that resembled a green malachite that had broken off the trophy's base. Also according to that same Italian newspaper, the piece was later glued back and had caused much tension amongst the officials involved. I don't know how accurate this news is, but you are free to substantiate or refute it. Perhaps we have an Italian reader of this blog who could help us out?
