Boo to the "Batman v. Superman" logo. The movie's logo is a terrible combination of the two iconic logos that looks like it was made by a Photoshop novice.
Bravo to the New York Daily Post's coverage of the Kimye wedding. In a stroke of journalistic genius, the Post described the event as "Two jackasses got married..." Beautiful, just beautiful.
Boo to media outlets like the New York Post for focusing attention on the woman whom the shooter at the University of California Santa Barbara named in his 137-page manifesto as starting his hatred of women. The Post featured the woman's picture on its cover and included pictures of her in a bikini alongside quotes about how her childhood rejection "lit the fuse that turned him into a murderous madman." Last we heard, this woman wasn't the one pulling the trigger, and she doesn't need to be blamed.
Bravo to ASU baseball for making the postseason after what looked like a doomed season midway through the year. ASU won nine of its last 10 regular season games and was named a No. 2 seed in the Cal Poly Regional. The Sun Devils will play Pepperdine in San Luis Obispo on May 30.

Boo to Linkin Park for allegedly calling the cops on the band they were sharing the stage with for smoking marijuana backstage.

Bravo to the innovative concept of solar roadways reaching its goal of $1 million on Indiegogo.com.
