Blogged Around Philly

Biodegradable beer cups were the news of the day over at The Illadelph, which lauded Aramark's move toward more environmentally-friendly containers for the liver- and waistline-destroying treats served at Citizens Bank Park. Also, did you know that on opening day Phillies fans will eat, among other things, 15,000 hot dogs, 6,000 soft pretzels and 5,000 cheesesteaks? With bikini season just around the corner, we shudder to think of the implications.

Attytood discussed the Tonya Harding option: that is, what Hillary would have to do to cripple Obama and pull off a win. The image of John McCain as Oksana Baiul gave us a laugh as we pondered why people tend to call Hillary by her first name and Obama by his last. See?

Philebrity agreed with us that PhillyCarShare is way better than Zipcar. They also gave a handy breakdown of exactly why this is true. Check it out if you want cold, hard facts to back up your righteous indignation.

The folks at Support Your Local Gunfighter cried foul over Network Solutions' decision to pull the plug on a website for an anti-Koran film. Political correctness + hypocrisy = good old-fashioned blog drama.

Rubber Hose found a nifty map that shows how narcissistic the media is in various parts of the world. Among other findings, the American media is pretty much focused on, well, American news. Shocking. Also, if you click through to the source site, you'll see that The New York Times is a "former paper of record." When exactly did that happen? Have we been hanging out under a rock?

Finally, Phawker reported on an electrifying sex game gone awry. Apparently, a trailer park couple got a little kinky with nipple clamps and an electrical current, which led to an extra crispy wife. Oops. The husband is now facing murder charges. We wonder if he's a hot property in the county lockup.
