Forgive me, this post isn't about Facebook, but this story is absurd.

I haven't seen CNN's Planet in Peril.
Hearing that it was essentially in its second edition was the second most surprising news of the week for me. The first? Learning that the Arena Football League is suspending play in 2009 after 20 years.* 20 years? There's been arena football for 20 years?

.Everyone looks like a smokey-eyed bastard. The photo shoot must've been a disaster:
AC 360: *pouting lips*, *confused*
photographer: AC 360, baby, no. think "hungry."
Sanjay Gupta: but we're not.
AC 360: then can we think "horny?"
Lisa Ling: for polar bears?
photographer: *sigh*. i want to you to look into the distance. look like you're Kate Moss, it's 1993, and a wind from the north has just carried in the scent of a cheeseburger. HUNGRY -- but a hunger for planet-saving.
Sanjay: nailed it!
Jeff Corwin: i effin hate you guys

*Said a league source, "We couldn't be taken seriously if we lost too many teams." Uh huh. Taken seriously.
