~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Presidential candidate John Kerry threw away his
combat ribbons some 30 years ago at a Vietnam War
protest, but apparently kept his combat medals.
Ooooh... a scandal!
Or is it? Back in the day, we had MAJOR scandals!
We had Watergate! We had Iran-Contra! We had BC
getting a BJ from ML in the OO! THOSE are scandals!
If Medalgate is the best we can come up with
nowadays, then I'm embarrassed for my country.
I may have to move to some foreign land where
they know a good scandal -- like Neverland Ranch.
The Top 5 Other Manufactured Controversies
- Alex Trebek insinuates that Pat Sajak is disregarding the rules by not requiring contestants to buy the "Y."
- "The L.A. *Lakers*? Is Los Angeles known for its lakes? Shouldn't a sports franchise's nickname at least have some tangential connection to its host city's unique local culture? We think so. We are the Utah Jazz, and we approved this message."
- Producers of "The Simple Life" claim they have video proof that Paris Hilton was *not* a virgin when they hired her for the show.
- Elton John starts a nasty rumor that fellow adult-contemporary artist Sting once played in a rock and roll band.
and the Number 1 Other Manufactured Controversy...
- Mary-Kate Olsen accuses sister Ashley of being a no-talent bimbo trading on her looks.
