Earth Hour 2008



I stumbled upon this video when I signed online and the headline was Earth Day 2008.
I wasn't sure what Earth Day was. I thought is was a day when people get together to help save our trees and plants. I thought wrong. Earth Day is when people get together and for 60 minutes everyone turns their lights off. It's really interesting to see. I believe we should do it in New York as well.

The biggest event in WWF history took place two weeks ago:
Floyd Mayweather vs. The Big Show
I didn't get to see the fight because I was working, but if I did get the opportunity I wouldnt pay $60 to watch the fight. I know that Mayweather won, which is physically impossible, but rumors are that Mayweather recieved help from his bodyguards, well isn't that a fair fight. I guess Mayweather couldn't stand losing to a fake wrestler.

Back Up!

In recent events, we know that Britney Spears was taken to the hospital for the second time, but we were not informed that LA police had to spend $25,000 on escort and police officers just to get her to the hospital because the paparazzi was in their way. The city has proposed a new law aimed to protect celebrities from aggressive paparazzi. It’s referred to as the “personal safety zone”. The law suggests setting a minimum amount of feet that the paparazzi may stand from the person that the picture is being taken of. The law has not yet been passed, but there are many controversial issues that arise if this law is passed. Are we going against the 14th Amendment which guarantees equal protection under the law, and are celebrities getting more protection.
I always wondered why there was no law protecting celebrities from the paparazzi. They give them no space and make rude comments. If you were constantly being followed and taken photos of in your worst moments, the 14th amendment would be a poor defense, regular people have their space and their lives aren’t exposed to the world. The video that I have posted involves Britney Spears and the paparazzi.
