What Traffic? It's Dance Party Friday!
This isn't the first time we've seen this news crew pull these shenanigans on the air. The dancing traffic dude has been replaced by a new reporter and she's keeping up his act. He's still around to join her, so we now have two sideshow dancers giving us their best rhyme and Roger Rabbit, as opposed to the updates.
Another Traffic Reporter. Another Dance Party.
Is this really necessary? All we want is a stinking traffic update and lover boy in the blue blazer serves up some wiggle with a little reporting on the side. Not.
Jenny Will Pimp Yo' Ride
We've seen our share of bad white boy rappers on GiggleSugar, but along comes a North Carolina traffic reporter named Jenny who makes Blazin' Hazen look pretty darn rap-tastic. Word of advice: Don't quit your day job, Jenny. Lady Sovereign, you are not.

Desperately Seeking Comfort: Dating Soars as Economy Falls
Turns out nobody wants to weather a recession alone. The New York Times reports interest in off- and online dating is way, way up.

The RESPECT! Campaign and Domestic Violence Awareness Month
The following information about female abuse might shock you. In fact, I hope it does so that you'll join the fight to prevent domestic abuse: The United Nations Development Fund for Women estimates that at least one out of every three women globally will be beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime, with rates reaching 70 percent in some countries.
