A VERY SPECIAL “IHUMOR“ ISSUE
world1
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
  WASHINGTON – In what some call “Digital history”, President Barak “Husain-obamatwitterwhat?” Obama became the first commander-in-chief to “tweet” when he posted his first message to the social networking site Twitter.
  On January 19 Obama tweeted the message “Is this how you do this?  Am I doing it right? Wussap!”  Two minutes later he added his second message “OMG the Jonas Brothers rule!!! lol”


DICTIONARY BLUES
  OTTAWA - Thousands of Canadians took to the streets this weekend, opposed to harper-w-protesters Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s prorogation of Parliament.  The protests were peaceful until someone asked what “prorogation” meant and everyone just freaked out.
  Meanwhile the leaders of the opposition, Michael Ignatieff (Liberal) and Jack Layton (NDP) acted as if they could do something about it, which I think is just adorable. 
  Who’s a good leader of the opposition?  You’re a good leader of the opposition?


MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH
  SOME COTTAGE SOMEWHERE – Meanwhile Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that the rebuilding of earthquake ravaged Haiti would take at least a decade and that “Canada must commit to Haiti in the long term … sometime … later … not right now.  You know it’s not like they aren’t going to still need help in a few weeks.”
  He then poured himself another mai-tai. 
  It’s good to be the Prime Minister

NOT LIKE I HAVE A CHANCE
  HOLLYWOOD – News out of Hollywood says that movie power couple Brad Pitt and angelina_jolie_and_brad_pitt Angelina Jolie may or may not have broken up.  According to many outlets, the couple have or have not come to an agreement over a separation and that Jolie will or will not retain full time possession over the couples many children.
  The potential separation rumours did or did not begin when a tabloid magazine announced that Jolie possibly, but possibly not had an affair with a language coach on the set of her new movie, and that the golden couple have or have not seen divorce lawyers in order to split their fortune, which is or is not rumoured to be in the $350 million range.
  Man, I’m getting tired just trying to keep up.

 
THIS JUST IN … STOP THE PRESSES … THIS JUST IN
HOLLYWOOD – It has been confirmed that Angelina Jolie is indeed seeing someone, who has replaced Brad Pitt in her life.  So congratulations to new power couple Angeline Jolie and Jay Leno.
  Man, is there anything he won’t break up?

IDon’t Know
  Computer and cool gizmo maker Apple is going to hold a news conference on ilife08box Wednesday to announce a new technology they have created.  While there is no official word as to what they might be announcing, most Apple watchers seem to agree that the item will be the long awaited “IReality.”
  “IReality” is rumoured to be an application that is much like real life, but cooler, with a snazzy case and the ability to download such apps as “IFood”, “IGirlfriend” and the much anticipated “ISexual Encounter.”
  Critics, though, say that this new “IReality” is nothing more than regular reality in an new case with a nice pair of headphones, but Apple fans still wait with anticipation for what will, no doubt, make Steve jobs a lot richer.

I LIKE GIRLS WHO WEAR ABERCROMBIE & FITCH
  WASHINGTON – The head of the International Monetary Fund called for increased aid to poor countries, saying that they are victims of the global recession.  
   “Poor countries desperately need financing to tide them over,” Dominique Strauss-Khan said during a meeting with a Washington think tank this week.  “How can we expect an African child to afford a V-neck sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch without our help?  How can an average African mother feed a family of four and still find money for the odd manicure?  How I ask you, how?”
   When later questioned, Strauss-Kahn admitted he didn’t know much about Africa other than it’s a catchy tune and he has it as his ring tone.


CITATION NEEDED

EYE SPY
  MIAMI – Blind for nine years, Sharron “Kay” Thompson can finally see thanks to a remarkable procedure known as the “Tooth in eye procedure.”
  The procedure, more formally known as modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (MOOKP), involved taking one of Thompson’s teeth (Ick), attaching a lens to it (Yuck) and implanting it inside the eyeball (Ewewew) and holding it in place using a mucous layer found inside of Thompsons mouth. (Ithinki’mgonna puke yuck yuck yuck)
