#21 is a facepalm on the parents part. There isn't anything wrong with her reading to children. also #24 is a faceplam on everyone but Amanda Knox, it's really none of our damn business what she dresses up as on halloween, unlike some people, I'm pretty sure she isn't really asking for media attention (unlike #17)

That Sasha Grey thing was so dumb. She's reading to children, not teaching them about the joys of anal sex. Idiots.
-
Actually, your claim that the change to the zodiac only affects “babies born this year and beyond” is completely inaccurate. The problem is that the zodiac was designed by the ancient Babylonians, and since then the position of the constellations have shifted in the sky as our solar system slowly drifts through space. Astrologers have known about this fact for centuries, but most of them choose to use the traditional zodiac rather than the alternate sidereal (that's Latin for “of or related to the stars”) zodiac which changes as the stars move. Basically, it just depends on which version of the zodiac you want to use, and it really doesn't matter since it's all a load of malarky anyway.

I still don't see a problem with Sasha Grey reading to a classroom of kids. It's not like any of them even know what porn is.
-
Amanda Knox's costume wasn't a cat burglar, she was dressed as one of the players on the Seattle Sounders, who has that stylistic facial hair. So… facepalm to you…
-
He also facepalms.

4. So it took a few weeks for people to realize the new sign didn't apply to anyone over the age of 1? How long did it take for them to realize the other 12 signs don't mean anything either?
-
Is #18 a facepalm against consumers or Coke? Because it's pretty understandable that people would buy a Coke without stopping to read the can.
-
number three isn't exactly a “facepalm moment”- I am assuming the skirted definition of that would be “a moment in which stupidity is so obvious just after the moment, it requires one to smack themselves in the head for being such a moron”….clearly, stupidity is contagious, and you've had yourself your own “facepalm moment” by putting a fucking human rights violation on this list.
-
If the best you can do is to grab a few moments from pop culture and call them of examples how humanity is imploding, well then you're living in a bubble.
