Yes, I know this video was just linked on one of the 'serious' 'news' threads here at Genius, but hey, it doesn't get much more insipid than this:

BOZObituary:

Second man dies after Madonna show stage collapse
MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) – A British worker died in hospital after being injured by a collapsing stage that was being built for a Madonna concert in the southern French city of Marseille, authorities said on Friday.

His death raises the toll from Thursday's collapse to two after a French worker was killed on the spot. Eight other workers were injured, five seriously.
Madonna, who was in Italy at the time, issued a statement saying she was devastated by the news.

Ironically the dead workers worked for Live Nation.


In other news, onetime reporter walter cronkite also passed away today, age 92.

Those are some way bozonic links, Elizabeth, thanks for posting!

Okay, this just in from the Michael Jackson newsdesk:

"Thriller" sales soar close to Eagles' "Hits"
NEW YORK (Billboard) – For nearly a decade, the Eagles' "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" has been the recording industry's ultimate evergreen release, certified by the RIAA as the all-time best-selling album in the United States. But thanks to continued robust demand for Michael Jackson's catalog since his June 25 death, "Thriller" appears on the verge of matching "Their Greatest Hits," at least in the eyes of the industry trade group.

In March, the Recording Industry Association of America certified "Thriller" as 28 times platinum, meaning that at least 28 million copies of the album have been shipped since its 1982 release. That's just a notch behind the Eagles' hits compilation, which was released in 1976 and was certified 29 times platinum in 2006.

Headline story on Yahoo today:

Palin's resignation day arrives, future unclear
FAIRBANKS, Alaska – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin steps down Sunday giving few clues about a political future clouded by ethics probes, mounting legal bills and dwindling popularity.

A few things are known: She is scheduled to speak Aug. 8 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, and has said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast and build a right-of-center coalition.

She also plans to continue speaking her mind on the social networking site Twitter.
Twitter, eh? You go, girl.
"I cannot express enough there is no plan after July 26. There is absolutely no plan," she told The Associated Press.
First there is no planning, then there is a plan, then there isn't.

How Zen is that!

By the way, sorry to see that the Palestine: from the fall of the Ottomans to Today thread has been locked.

But good to see it's still stickied. Let's hope we can continue to rest our weary feet on that sturdy-as-an-ottoman-footstool thread atop the Worldly Matters Forum for many more months to come!

BBC News:

Shopaholic died under purchases
BBC wrote:The body of an elderly shopaholic was found underneath a pile of clothing and other items after she died of natural causes, an inquest heard.

Joan Cunnane's bungalow was so crammed with purchases it took five visits to the house before she was found.

This item has already been posted twice on Worldly Dreck & Drivel threads, which makes it a shoo-in for BOZO:

Obama to Engage in Beer Diplomacy

No, not a trip to Germany to discuss NATO with European heads of state. And not a conference with Midwest U.S. brewers concerning the economy.

The U.S. President is sitting down with his buddy the black professor who was arrested while breaking into his own home last week and demanded an apology, and with the white cop who refuses to apologize. It's going to be a Rodney King can't-we-all-get-along media moment, this afternoon at a picnic table by the Obama vegetable garden, outside the White House.
Crowley [the cop] told Obama he wants Blue Moon, a Belgian-style white beer brewed by Molson Coors. Gates [Obama's buddy] is said to prefer either Red Stripe or Beck’s. Nothing fancy for Obama, who was criticized on the campaign trail for musing about the price of arugula. He is sticking with the good old American brand, Budweiser.
Update: The three were joined by V.P. Joe Biden, snorting coke -- or rather, sipping a Coke.

Alaska ex-governor Sarah Palin invited herself but was told it was a guys-only thing. Nor, in the end, was the media able to get more than a quick photo op, before being ushered to the street, where several reporters swigged Moosehead beer with Palin and heckled the "frat-boy party" until all were arrested for disorderly conduct.

"Song Sung Blue" department, from Brainard, Minnesota:
Of the more than 30,000 suits brought by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) against alleged file-sharers, Thomas-Rasset's is the only one to go to a jury trial
Single Mom Owes 1.9 Million for Downloading Music
That amounts to $80,000 a song for the 24 songs Jammie Thomas-Rasset was accused of downloading.

"The only thing I can say is, 'Good luck getting it from me,'" said Thomas-Rasset, who looked tearful immediately after hearing of the decision, but then appeared resolute.
Let's see, if they garnish wages at $200 per week, that's 190 years, plus interest, court fees...

BOZO Book Corner:

Iacocca - Where Have All The Leaders Gone?

"Remember Lee, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'. Lee Iacocca says..."
Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course..'

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'

This is probably worthy of the news thread, but it seemed fitting to somehow label this with BOZO.

Hey look at the morons supporting government sponsored indoctrination.

It's lovely to see my teacher embrace this idea completely yet call the 9/11 moment of silence thing propaganda.

War On Terror update:

Troops 'too fat' to fight in Afghanistan
Britain's war effort in Afghanistan is being hindered by a number of frontline troops too fat to fight, according to a leaked Army memo.

...The Army needs to "reinvigorate a warrior ethos and a culture of being fit", according to the leaked memo apparently sent to all Army units and obtained by the Observer newspaper.

The memo from Major Brian Dupree, of the Army physical training corps in Wiltshire, said basic fitness policy "is not being carried out".

Units were routinely failing to fulfil the Army's basic fitness regime of two hours of physical exercise a week, he added.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- The ginkgo tree is renowned for its hardiness -- a few even survived an atomic bomb -- but it may be undone by another trait -- its smell.

The odor reminds some of rotten eggs, others of vomit. It comes from large seed shells dropped by female ginkgo trees. The smell and mess made by the sticky, slimy seeds has communities like Iowa City ripping out their ginkgo trees.

But others such as Washington are replacing the female trees with male trees that don't drop seeds. They say the hardy trees with beautiful leaves draw residents to neighborhoods.

And still others say the smell isn't a big deal. That's the case at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, although spokesman Kevin Myers says the smell results in periodic reports that "something died over here."

Gender discrimination!

Someone mentioned Bozo in the comments section under this article, so I had to revive this thread for that. Yes, I had to - I was caused.

Nice. And BOZO needs no revival. BOZO simply exists, eternally, like the Universe itself.

Whoa, Dan. Before you transfer BOZO to the main forum for committing an act of philosophy, check this out:


Hilarity abounds in the tragedies that befall us. You think you have it bad? F**k My Life, bookmark it!
Today, I saw a grasshopper in the urinal so I decided to pee on it. It jumped out, scared the hell out of me, and I peed all over myself. FML
Today, I went to go see my boyfriend of over two years in a play. I knew that he'd be kissing his female opposite at the end of the show and I was okay with that. I snuck into his dressing room at intermission to find him "rehearsing" with her half naked. FML
Today, I decided to wear a tight, long-sleeved shirt that showed off my body. As I was trying to roll up my sleeves, I realized how tight this shirt really was. It wouldn't budge past my elbow and I tugged to hard I ended up punching myself in the eye. I now have a swollen, black and blue eye. FML
