"Senator Biden is now my homeboy"
A few weeks ago, Megan and I tried to compare our childhoods. After watching this, it's clear that ours don't come close to matching this kid's:
The whole thing is set up by their teacher, Brian Zimmerman, who is now an official ally of the News Cruise. For more of their reports, check the Youtube Channel.

Episode 8: Our Main Goal More So Than Anything Else
This week, Megan and Chris discuss their past and future oral surgeries, a giant Iranian sandwich, and other important matters. Chaos ensued.

Questions?? Questions!! Questions?!? Are Barack Obama supporters bear killers? NO, they're just drunk North Carolinians. Is George Takei a Shatner offender? He says no. William says yes. Is pop star Katy Perry a knife glamourizer? The News Cruise's official decision is NO.
In "Cute, Tragic, and Disgusting Animal Stories" we changed the "Tragic" to "Terrifying" in reporting a story about a giant spider eating a bird. Animals are scientifically proven to be good for your health. And lastly a cute Iraqi puppy gets adopted by a U.S. soldier.
It's an exciting week in "Crime" where a Grandma gets arrested for keeping a child's ball. A man pretending to be a real cop pulls over an actual real cop. Also, a woman on the lamb finally gets arrested and sentenced 40 years for scarring her ex's butt with gasoline and a match.
"Pallin' with Palin": Sarah Palin has a budget of $150,000 for her clothes and people are ups--OH WHO CARES!?
Our combined "Space and Science News" segment contained stories of x-rays from scotch tape, a Turkish UFO, and a new alternative to being just plain ol' creamated.
In the human interest segment of "The News Cruise for the People," the world's largest sandwich is ruined by chaos ensuing Iranians. A woman doubles as a notebook. A broom store in Japan doesn't have a handle on its business. A Raleigh man builds his own coffin.
And lastly "The Official News Cruise DUH!!" goes to a story from the BBC reporting that students are using speed to help them in school.

Googlin'
Best Google search that ever led to this blog: "burkina faso allies and enemies"
Upon investigation, we are the eighth result for those terms.
Will that ever be topped? Only time will tell.

Episode 7: Our New-found Wealth
Megan and Chris make plans to spend their newly-acquired millions in foreign lottery winnings and Nigerian trust fund money. Also, a drunk pony wins the hearts of many.
Direct Link
We begin with a story discussing the body language of McCain and Obama at the latest debate. Next we talk about the 'Dirty South,' of Wales that is. Iron Maiden's Dead Eddie has his say at town council in Spain.
Google's "Mail Goggle?" It was put to the test and FAILED.
Our cute, tragic, and disgusting animal included new friend of the show, Drunk Pony. Megan and Chris showed their compassion by talking about refusing to talk about an animal cruelty story that happened in Australia. A monkey seeks refuge from a dog. And finally, it's round one: Rabbits vs. Nelson Mandela and it's not looking good for the rabbits.
Megan and Chris talk about what they are going to do with their almost $10,000,000.00 that they have acquired through various online European lotteries and our dear refugee friend who is stuck in Burkina Faso. We would like you to send us an email about what you want to see us do with our money.
In "Crime" three gamers on a path to ectasty are sent to jail. A mentally ill Vermont teen plays cool by tomb raiding for a head...to make a bong.
"Pallin with Palin:" Palin lets loose with her hair. Lookin' good Palin, and we're serious.
And finally we talk about the future of transportation and discuss the practicality of it all, and subtly make a statement about our culture.
That's it for this week's episode, thanks for listening and as always you can send us an questions, comments, news stories, ideas, and theme songs at thenewscruise@gmail.com
