Weird Pop Culture Crap

Perhaps I’m tired, but today seems to be filled with inexplicable pop culture stories.

Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan

The rumor is that J. Simps and the rat in a cage are getting quite cozy. What sort of weird-ass match up is that? How would they have met? What would they possibly talk about?

Miley Cyrus is Covering “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”

This song was played out in the last century, so why is it Miley’s favorite song? And why does she feel the need to inflict “her own spin” on it?

Women Are Having Babies at Home

For some crazy reason, women have decided to eschew the hospital and have their babies at home without even a midwife in attendance. If the unnecessary interventions are really the reason, can’t you just refuse oxytocin or a C-section? I mean, you can discharge yourself form the hospital even if you re dying, so I think you could reject surgery.

What do you think? Am I just way too foggy to get it, or are these three of the most bizarre things you’ve heard in a while?
