So every year we like to review the year’s biggest situations– the situations that either made us cringe, laugh, ask why? or had us putting Netflix on speed dial…..
So with no further ado…
2013 Situations in Review……
10: Facebook COO, billionaire and Mark Zuckerberg BFF Dustin Moskovitz, runs into the Winklevoss brothers at Burning Man (recall the twins who sued Mark for stealing his idea and got a few paltry million?!!-talk about an awkward situation!) and shares a “hug”.
9: ‘Baby’s first Baby: Baby’s Baby is pregnant too!’ WHAAAT??!!!! This situation is beyond words. So, so, so many questions. So few answers. How?, Who?, What??!!, Why?! The miniature, miniature cloth diapers. The miniature baby bottle, and the miniature, miniature baby’s baby’s baby bottle. And why are there THREE different sizes of baby bottles! Is babys’ baby pregnant too?!
I mean Ok it’s a baby that’s taking care of it’s own baby. Fine, but couldn’t ‘baby’ have adopted another baby?! Did baby have to be pregnant!? That of course just opens a Pandora’s box of questions like….who impregnated baby!!!?
8: Bruce Jenner’s ponytail: Bruce Jenner divorced Kris Jenner (who is rumored to be dating ex-Bachelor Ben Flajnik BTW!) this year and we noticed his hair just kept getting longer and longer until it took on a life of it’s own. The Bruce Jenner ponytail is definitely one of the BIGGEST situations of 2013.
7: Kim Kardashian has Kanye West’s baby and names her North….That kid is gonna need some direction.
6: Roomba cat
5: The Worlds shortest escalator in Kawasaki, Japan. I could watch this video endlessly. Patrons reject the treachery of walking down 3 steps and patiently ride down the foot and a half descent.
4: Two GIANT situations colliding! the Biebs and Chris Harrison!!!
Bachelor franchise host, situation arbiter, professional love adviser extraordinaire, arm-chair psychologist, mediator, conciliator, go-between and Ok! Here is the Situation idol, Chris Harrison, briefly dated ‘amazing lady’ Justin Bieber’s mom also known as, Pattie Malette!!!!
Wait, what?!!!
3: Unicorns
2: Murder, She Wrote is removed from Netflix streaming without warning. This was a particular situation for our very own Penny Farthing who developed a serious addiction to Murder, She Wrote and Jessica Fletcher aka Angela Landsbury solving ‘capers’ in the small town of Cabot Cove in 2013.
PF phoned Netflix in a panic multiple times posing as me, the Netflix subscriber, to address the situation and was told that they had either lost the rights to the show, or that the technology team had to remove to fix some “buggy episodes.” This situation is still pending and still a ‘high alert’ 5 clasped hands situation especially to the owners of this website.
And the number ONE situation of 2013…
Drumroll please………
1: Yes, it is none other than the adult diaper lover craze that is sweeping across Europe and Japan, taking the world by storm.
We were blissfully unaware of this situation until this year. We learned about it from the interwebs and then began our own in-depth investigation and in the words of Penny Farthing there are just some things that you can not unsee or unlearn.
After writing a post about the sitch we started seeing that we were getting an enormous amount of referral traffic on this one post, the referral was coming from an adult diaper website which neither one us were prepared to discover. The cube ads alone showing a woman lying on a changing table in an adult cloth diaper were amazing and a tad bit unsettling.
I had also posted a call for people who were DLs (diaper lovers) to write in with their testimonials about why they liked wearing adult diapers. Needless-to-say we immediately received an email titled “I am an adult woman and I like wearing diapers”…
Next I received a tsunami of texts from PF insisting I take the call for testimonials down immediately. This was a situation that even we could not handle. Sorry PF….I opened a pandoras adult diaper bag on the BIGGEST situation of 2013.
