Obama gets shot

Oh don’t get scared about it, it was just a false alarm, but indeed, someone was planning to shoot the American president. A 20 year old man named Joaquín updated a Facebook status saying he was going to kill Barack Obama and upload a Youtube video doing it. Fortunately the guy who updated this under the name of “Jay Valor” was arrested; he was liberated thou (paying a punishment of 70k dollars), for there were no ways to prove he could take his plan into action. 

Last Friday night…

Ashley Long, a 14 year old American girl, died last weekend in Eagle Point (Oregon) due to a very, very unfamiliar reason: inhaling helium. The night she died she lied to her parents saying she was going to go to a sleepover at a friend’s house, and instead she went to a party with alcohol, drugs and helium. Witnesses affirm that she didn’t want to play with it, but they were pushing her to do so; her girlfriends told her it wouldn’t hurt and that she was going to be ok. This tragic accident even though it’s very unlikely to happen, was caused because the gas gets into the blood in bubbles and impedes the blood to get to the brain, which causes an infarct. This is an example of the consequences of peer pressure (group pressure).

I wanna be like you!

All of us, even if we watched or not the Oscars, know about the dress Angelina Jolie wore: a black strapless dress with a cleavage on the right leg. Isn’t it familiar to some of you? Not happy with taking Brad away for Aniston, SHE WANTED TO STEAL HER LOOK TOO! Two years ago, in the Globe Awards, Jennifer Aniston almost the exact same dress as the one Angelina wore last Sunday.   But that’s not all; Jolie didn’t have the enough glamour to wear the designer’s dress, since she was exaggerating her moves and poses to show her leg too much. This, besides the fact that for most of us consider Aniston is friendlier than Jolie, has made the critics go on her favor.
