Bond Girl Has Extra Fingers and Alcohol Speakers

ok so i looked on yahoo's home page today and one of the top four headlines is that one of the new bond girl has two extra fingers...seriously! this is news? what makes me laugh about it is that it's next to stories about the devastation of economy and the winner of last night's presidential debates...you see i don't care that they publish these kind of stories...but i don't think it's appropriate that they publish it next to a story about our failing economy...i just don't get how the two can coincide in any universe...that's just something that i wonder about

so tonight my sorority has to go and hear an alcohol speaker with the rest of greek life as well as all the sport's teams to hear about the evils of abusing alcohol...i've been hearing alcohol speakers since the seventh grade "if you drink...you will die" kind of sums up what we learn in the normal speaker we're used too..."don't drink, just don't do it, promise?" well and we've all seen how well those week because no teenager would ever drink, no, no, no we all know that that's not true...haha that may be one of the funniest things i've ever said...it's like teaching abstinence only sex ed in schools, but that's another issue for another time...telling kids not to drink and that's the only way is not going to keep anyone from not drinking...that's what i really like about the speakers we usually have here...normally they're more like comedians who tell us from the beginning that they're not there to tell us to never drink or we'll die...they acknowledge that we're adults and i for one appreciate that...they make it funny, but slip in the message while keeping it fun...it's a nice change from the constant lecture and i like it...but hey that's just me

It bothers me too that the real news is interspersed with fluff. Yahoo is bad enough, but they do it on the "real" news sites. Nothing like seeing a story of 3 dead in Iraq next to Britney Spears is debating a comeback.

I have to say that the fact that the new Bond Girl has extra fingers excited me unimaginable ways. Now I'm even more excited to see it.

By the way, this is Eleanor.
