British teenagers to be paid £40 per week to stay in school after GCSE
Monday morning means a cup of coffee and new McSweeney’s Lists, which having just been read, were underwhelmingly funny. International Equivalents: Cake Hole was half decent though.

i think that crystal pepsi guy is lying. didn’t they introduce crystal pepsi when we were, like, 8 or 10? that thing couldn’t be more than 12 years old. i remember this because i recall seeing a saturday night live spoof comercial for crystal gravy and there’s no way i would have been allowed up to watch that when i was a tiny tyke, or before i was born, as the dating according to that guy would demand. he’s a big fat liar.
that pope thing was a cheap shot - and yet i laughed anyway.

UPDATE!
check out this site:
http://crystalpepsi.captainmike.org/
it’s the crystal pepsi fan site (yes, FAN site) and it states that crystal pepsi was developed in 1992 and distributed nationally in 1993 - so that guy’s crystal pepsi could only be 10 years old - MAX! it’s probably more like 8 years old, as i’m sure he didn’t save the bottle during test marketing.
boo-ya. ebay abuse uncovered.

Evelyn, that was very investigatory of you. You might just qualify as a blogger/journalist.
