The 2011 Bin Laden Status Update Awards

It didn't take long for word to get out that America's Most Wanted #1 had been killed. I was sitting at Starbucks struggling through a statistics exam (shouldn't have worked so hard because I got a C on it anyway) when all of the sudden I recieved 15 text messages in a row. Most of my friends know that I don't have cable or internet at the house, so they wanted to make sure that I got to a TV.


I appreciated their concern but I was a bit skeptical and I was in the statistics zone. I logged on to NBC and waited for the announcement. Obviously, there was not going to be any statistics work done for the next couple hours, so I decided to do what all good Americans do when they have spare time - FACEBOOK!


I know, I know, you probably don't get on Facebook that much, or you are thinking about deleting your page becasue it is stupid, or you still prefer Myspace or Friendster.... but the rest of the loyal citizens of America are trained to go to the internet at all times.


Facebook gave me just the entertainment I was seeking: 1/4 political, 1/4 cynical, 1/4 comical, and 1/4 disrespectful. All the drama that you watch The Bachelor can be found at any time on Zuckerberg's great cultural revolution.


Most of the truly ridiculous stuff was said after President Obama's speech, but there was some classical material offered up for those of us congregating in the virtual public sphere before.


So in light of this momentous occassion in American history,
WhatUpWally? would like to presnt to you (insert suspenseful sound clip) the:
