Music: Brilliant! UK tunesmith Dan Bull takes Lily Allen to task

  • Lilly Allen recently threatened to give up music on an anti-piracy blog she created. Then she took the blog down. As Allen made her name on file-sharing, that statement sounded hypocritical to some. Now Dan Bull, a UK musician with a similar style to that of Allen, has a video for a song which criticizes the star for just that.source

Culture: You know swine flu is bad when Dr. Sanjay Gupta has it

  • It is worth pointing out the irony of a medical reporter getting influenza type A, which was then ultimately confirmed as H1N1.
  • Dr. Sanjay Gupta • Describing in great detail how he managed to get swine flu (a.k.a. H1N1) while in Afghanistan. Gupta notes that the disease was no joke: “I am not someone who gets sick, really ever. And this was the sickest I have ever been.” Bet he’s regretting not taking that spot in the Obama administration now. • source
