7 ways to leave SNL

This past weeks SNL was not only the season finale brilliantly hosted by rock icon Mick Jagger, but also what seemed to be the last show for 7 year cast member Kristen Wiig. The bridesmaids star and Oscar nominee was praised by fake principle, Mick Jagger, in a mock graduation sketch at the end of the show for her good work over "the past 7 years. (She got held back)" and proceeded to dance with with her costars to Arcade Fire performing the Stones "She's a Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday". Fellow cast member Andy Samberg almost prompted a wardrobe malfunction when he picked her up and spun her around in her mini skirt which she frantically pulled down. The digital short genius is also rumored to be leaving the show due to the line in his most recent "Lazy Sunday" short: "On these New York streets I hone my fake rap penmanship/ That's how it began, and that's how I'm-a finish it". SNL veterans Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch also joined Wiig on the stage for her last dance, joining their friends on the stage of a show they never really left. Amy Poehler along with Tina Fey know the feeling, as they both left the show to pursue their now successful TV shows, which leaves the question: What will Wiig do now?
7 ways to leave SNL:
1: For a TV series
2: For a film career
3: For a family
4: For a life
5: Natural causes
6: With a wardrobe malfunction or hints in your rap songs
7: And let's not forget the members who disappear early on in their career who we can't remember

She'll probably just pursue her movie career.

Kissing Butt

It all began when a baby leaf monkey in a Chinese zoo ate a peanut thrown by a zoo visitor, and do to this monkey's lack of grinding teeth to break the peanut down, it got lodged in his intestine, threatening the life of the monkey. So of course, there was nothing left to do but have the zoo keeper lick the monkey's butt for an hour until it pooped the peanut out. Zookeeper Zhang Bangshen, 50, had no option but to resort to this form of treatment because the monkey was too small for medication to help it defecate the nut. And apparently too small for more traditional method of a warm cloth. Or perhaps a small sponge or damp q-tip? But all's well, Bangshen reportedly "laughed with satisfaction" after the monkey passed the peanut.

Super Box Office Numbers

The Avengers were box office super heroes as they ranked in over 200 million dollars opening weekend, beating out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2, The Dark Knight,The Hunger Games and breaking the world record for best opening weekend in hollywood history. However, according to Tony Medley of the Tulican Times, it was "nothing but 2:20 of special effects and ridiculous fights... It's like all the superheroes are trying out at the Improv to see who can give the best one-liner, and none of them do". In comparison, The Avengers made almost twice as much in their opening weekend as The Graduate's entire domestic total gross, and The Graduate is number 17 on the AFI top 100 movie list. Box office numbers reflect how many people were persuaded into going to see a movie after they saw the commercials or read something about it, the actual substance of a movie is not being measured. So when you see that The Avengers took the box office by storm last weekend, what does it say about the movie. It says that it's popular, but popularity does not equal quality.

Project Glass

How technology effects relationships has been a recent hot topic thanks to ACT writing questions, in-class-essays and Geo-Con debates, which is why the irony of Google unveiling yet another mobile gadget is so potent at the moment. "Project Glass" is merely Google's concept of augmented reality glasses (Glasses that could make video calls, take pictures, tell you directions and keep a schedule through voice commands. Essentially an smart phone in the form of eye-wear.) But the release of Google's concept video on you-tube depicting a day in the life of a person who uses Google's augmented reality glasses is what's giving this some-what unbelievable idea all the hype. The depiction seems rather lonely, as the "date" mentioned in the user's schedule at the beginning of the day by the glasses turned out to be only a video chat, again through the glasses. However, the video did not show the user pulling out an smart phone or logging onto a social network of any kind (seeming trouble for facebook and apple). Is this a step forward in face-to-face communication? Or is Google merely replacing many technological isolaters with one big technological isolater?
