Thanks, Jimmy Kimmel

At first I was going to edit last week's post and say it turned out to be a prank by Jimmy Kimmel and his staff...

Well, that's not entirely true. At first, I totally forgot I posted about it. Then I thought about editing it earlier this week, then I forgot about it again until I looked at my blog today - which I don't normally do.

I saw it, then actually thought about modifying it, and figured ''nah'', because I kind of already had:

For now, we assume Caitlin Heller is really the girl in the following video, and that she really put it up on YouTube for us all to laugh at:
(then the video)
But because these are the internets, and the series of tubes have fooled us before, we will assume at a 25% level that it could be her boyfriend (or ex), or roommate, or even an enemy who put it online; we'll know for sure in a year, when she has committed suicide - or not.

''She'' is quoted as saying:

I tried making a sexy twerk video for my boyfriend and things got a little too hot :)
WOW! Didn't expect all this attention. I'm fine. Just a little embarrassed!! THX!!
 So I saw it coming. Kinda. But not to this extent:



So instead of modifying the ''original'' post, I went and made a brand-new one instead. Two-for-none, basically.

April Fools?

Ricky Martin has contacted an influent gay website called Queerty to say he never actually came out of the closet, that it was just a hoax, probably perpetrated by hackers. His lawyers have apparently scheduled a press conference later today.

Which one is true, and, more importantly, why is it so important, ten years removed from the time when he mattered even a little bit?

But Anna Paquin would be bisexual - she apparently said it in an ad. Some might say we all are, to a certain degree, even if that degree is nearer to 0 for some more than others'... others, again, might not care.

And the blog I read the most often made an April's Fools joke about former hockey almost-star Pat Falloon making a comeback. But at least he admits it's fake, we'll see how the rest develops.
