Who Spiked the Search: Week of October 24, 2011
Thursday, November 3rd, 20111. Gaddafi
Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, or more commonly known as Muammar Gaddafi, was the official ruler of Libya from 1969 to 1977. In 1977 he stepped down from his official Executive position but maintained control of the country until February 2011, when riots against his leadership began. On October 20, 2011, Gaddafi’s convoy was attacked by NATO, where he was then captured and executed. He was 69 years old.
2. Paranormal Activity 3
It’s like the new Blairwitch Project: terrible camera angles, horrible plot, and predictable jump scare scenes. Sounds like 90 minutes of spine tingling Halloween season goodness.
3. Battlefield 3
Released on October 25, this multiplayer first-person shooter has the 3 G’s: guns, grenades, and gore. If this game is half as good as Jordan Sparks’ song “Battlefield”, it is going to be epic!
4. World Series
What do you get when you cross a cardinal and a stallion? The world series of course. Albert Pujols may have played his last game in a Cardinals uniform. Next up for him is Dancing with the Stars.
5. Lindsay Lohan
She was caught making out with her mother in a club. I’ll spare you the details. She also accepted a 1 million dollar offer to pose in a not-so-PG magazine. Again, no comment.
6. Powerball
The betting-man’s tax… err, I’m sorry, I mean the Powerball jackpot, is now 180 million dollars. You’re a fool if you think you can win… I’ve already picked the winning numbers, I can feel it in my soul.
7. Batman Arkham City
An action adventure video game developed by Rocksteady Studios. Personally, I haven’t had much luck with superhero video games. If I don’t get to play as the Joker, I’ll pass.
The most popular “all hallows eve” costumes this year are Captain America, Nicki Minaj, and Angry Birds. Angry Birds seems to make every most popular list there is.
9. Dan Wheldon
He was an Indy car racer who was fatally injured during the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship. He passed away doing what he loved the most.
10. The Walking Dead
Is back for season two. Are you surprised? They already died once. What’s to stop them from coming back with a second season?
