Idol Photos

An msnbc.com story concerning the racy pictures that are allegedly of American Idol Contestant Antonella Barba contains the following quote from someone in her hometown...

“It’s the way this town is: Everybody knows everything about their friends,” said Mark Dillon, 17. “At least half the people in this town have pictures of their friends on the toilet. I’ve personally seen at least 20. It’s only because she’s on TV that they’re online.”

Really? At least half the people in this town have pictures of their friends on the toilet? If it is true, shouldn't there be some outrage, or at the very least, shock, over that fact?

Nascar Cautions

A column on espn.com, recapping this past weekend's NASCAR race, featured this quote from driver Jimmie Johnson discussing whether NASCAR should have thrown a caution flag for "debris on the track" late in the race...

"If anyone has seen the debris, I would like to know where it was," Johnson said laughing after the race. "I didn't see any debris, but I think we all knew [the caution] was coming."

NASCAR has frequently been accused of altering the outcome of races with such caution flags, but when the reigning series champion essentially accuses them of doing it so often that drivers have come to expect it, that should be worthy of some outrage, or least a little investigative reporting.
