Yeah, North Isn’t That Bad A Name
I admit to only skimming this Gawker article about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s baby’s name, written by Tom Socca, but I agree with the premise and the parts that I read. (Sorry, I’m busy doing dad stuff.)
To sum up: North isn’t that bad a name, even if the child does use his father’s last name, which is traditional but unless the couple has told us this is the case should not be assumed. (Even though it is, because, you know, we’ve come a long way baby. Not.) If the kid does get Kanye’s surname, that would be North West. Gawker’s Tom Socca points out Ima Hogg, which is WAY worse. (One could argue that if your last name is Hogg, naming your daughter Ima is actually rather mean.)
Here’s another example. There’s a urologist named Richard Chopp, as in Dick. He specializes in vasectomies. Sells t-shirts that say “I was ‘chopped’ by the Urology Team”, according to the Internet. Still don’t believe it? Here’s another link. And a video. Read more »

Streaker Disrupts Youth Soccer Game
You thought streakers only went to professional sporting events. You thought wrong. This streaker interrupted a high school soccer game. Seriously.
No, we mean it. They have video. And unlike in pro sports, they let the streaking nudniks on TV.
Makes us wonder if perhaps wannabe streakers will start to frequent high school sports. At least they’ll get on TV. If a trend emerges, please pretend we never suggested this. Because it’s a bad idea.
