Family Escapes Haitian Earthquake Ruins for Chile. Oops.

The Desarmes family survived the Haitian earthquake and sought refuge in Chile, where Haitian-borne Reggaeton singer Pierre Desarmes lives. Bad idea. Thankfully, they all survived both earthquakes, but it’s been a real mindfuck.

NY Gov. Didn’t See this Coming

via Gawker:

The hapless governor of New York, David Paterson, now must overcome the arrest of his 15-year-old son for possession of a stolen credit card and shooting dice. This in addition to the president himself opposing his re-election bid, and the whole cocaine-use-and-infidelity-and-pot-smoking thing. “Comically unprepared to take office” indeed.

Fried Chicken Subdues “Awkward Situations”

KFC came under fire recently for this stereotypical take on their clientele. The Australian faction of the company, the home base of the ad, claims it had no idea about the  racism associated with this commercial because it doesn’t exist in Australia! It was just a “light-hearted reference to the West Indian cricket team.”

Videogum then followed up with this fantastic post where it found a second racist KFC video via the Korean market, though needless to say they didn’t find any association with cricket here either:

Dugg This

We wouldn’t want to make a joke out of preemie babies. OK, maybe we would. And Michelle Duggar’s 19th stint at childbirth would be fairest game. Born at just 1lb 6oz, little Josie Duggar was forced into the world early because of some high-blood pressure condition mom had. Thankfully, both are doing “as well as expected.” Her pregnancy announcement back in September, however, left very few of us surprised.

Tweet Teens

via Gizmodo:

[Justin Bieber's] presence caused 3,000 hysteric teen girls to march into the Roosevelt Field mall, pushing everyone and each other aggressively. The police asked [Bieber] to use Twitter to help disperse the multitude, which was getting increasingly violent. When he didn’t comply, they arrested Bieber’s label VP, James A. Roppo:

We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message. By not cooperating with us we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.

He is now waiting to be charged, probably with “criminal nuisance, endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration.” After that, the kid used Twitter to ask all the teen girls to go home because the performance got cancelled. Except for the two cute blondes with ultra-short skirts by the candy store, and the redhead with the big cleavage ordering a pizza at the food court

Fox Force Lies

via Politico

Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett said…Fox News was an obviously biased television network but declined to comment on whether the same could be said of MSNBC.

Asked by CNN’s Campbell Brown whether Fox had an ideological slant, Jarrett replied firmly: “Of course they’re biased. Of course they are.”

But the top aide quickly walked that statement back when Brown pressed her to judge MSNBC’s political leanings.

“You know what, this is the thing. I don’t want to — actually, I don’t want to generalize all Fox is biased or another station is biased. I think what we want to do is look at it on a case-by-case basis. And when we see a pattern of distortion, we’re going to be honest about that pattern of distortion,” Jarrett said
