It's our lovely songbird, Heidi Montag, and Spencer at the Maxim Superbowl party in Arizona. Doesn't Heidi just get lovelier every time you see her? So lovely that you just want to vomit blood all over the floor. Her tit job looks like a water damaged ceiling. I just want to pop that shit. There's enough plastic on her to keep the Tupperware factory going for a long ass time.
And what the hell is Spencer doing with a boombox? Don't tell me Heidi broke into a lip-synch seizure on the red carpet? Actually, tell me she did. She's probably going to perform her own Superbowl half-time show in a gas station parking lot across form the arena with the help of that boombox.
Earlier this month, crushing rains left 20 people dead and over 20,000 stranded when overwhelming rainfall left five feet of standing water in the low-lying areas. This is on top of already taxed landscapes that flooded when melting Himalayan glaciers burst the 200 rivers that web across the country last year. Bangladesh under water is seeming like a real and permanent possibility.
The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — whose claims are usually conservative — said that Bangladesh is heading to lose 17 percent of its land and 30 percent of its food production by 2050. That's like California and New York drowning, and the whole Midwest ceasing production of food.
If this happens, more than 20 million Bangladeshis will be without a patch of land to stand on. Though hardship in the country isn't entirely recent: since 1971, Bangladesh has endured over 200 disasters that have left a total of 500,000 dead and affected a total of 500 million people.
And I haven't even said anything about the plague of rats that's consuming all of their food. A plague of rats. I wish, wish there was more room for stories like this in the general consciousness — shouldn't we be hearing about this every night? Not to dwell on the gloomy, but just knowing about this makes the answer to this question pretty clear to me.
