Since too few people are blogging about Michael Jackson today…

Actual headline from the front page of today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Jacko is Backo Atop the Tabbos.”
I’ll begrudgingly accept “Jacko” and “backo” (mostly out of respect for the “Jacko on his Backo” sketch from SNL a few years back), but abbreviating “tabloids” as “tabbos” is a bit of a stretch as far as I’m concerned.
The Journal-Constitution–yet another reason why the city of Atlanta remains little more than a Delta hub with a bunch of professional sports teams.

That headline is horrid. Although, I originally read it as “Jacko is Backo Atop the Taboos” which just seemed strange.
Well, considering that (alleged) child molestation is taboo in virtually every culture around the world, maybe “atop the taboos” makes sense after all…
Oh, quit whining about Atlanta. You’re all going to evolve into mermaids, and then there’ll be an excuse for all the men to go shirtless and women to wear nothing but bikini tops.
Best. Futurama. Ever.
