Hello people, welcome to This Week In Crazy for Feb. 12. If you want to contribute, use #TWIC and I’ll get back to you. Let’s start the craziness.

Our first article comes from CNN, where our good friend Donald Trump got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by some nameless fellow…. I can’t make this up if I tried.

CNN reporter Gregory King reported that the prize committee, who gave Martin Luther King Jr. a Nobel Peace Prize, told them that the letter sent to our toupee wearing friend “praised Trump for his vigorous peace through strength ideology.”

The only peace I need is when I get on a one-way trip to Ireland for four years (or eight if he gets re-elected) but I really don’t see that happening in the near future– or him getting the peace prize for that matter.

Then again, this is America we’re talking about here, where celebrities are being worshiped and we have a Chicago football team that’s been unwatchable since they won the super bowl against the New Orleans Saints. I’m not talking bad about the U.S, I mean it has it’s more freedoms than anywhere else, but I’m saying it has its crazy people.


 

Our next article comes from Gamespot, where Eddie Makuch reported on hackers running around like chickens with their heads cut off in the latest Tom Clancy game, “The Division.”

For those who don’t know about the game, the plot here is that a virus has spread through banknotes, causing a massive wipe out throughout all of New York City. To help save the chaotic New York City, several government officials battle the survivors that have lost their grip on reality.

These hackers are probably hacking games because they got nothing better to do with their lives. However, all is not as messed up as it seems, as Ubisoft issued a statement saying that they wish to offer a “Fair experience.”

Now the game doesn’t come out for a few weeks, but I wish Ubisoft good luck in that.


Our final bit of insanity comes all the way from CBS news in South Florida, namely Brickell, where a Miami doctor named Anjali Ramkissoon drunkenly attacked an Uber driver in the early hours of Super Bowl Sunday.

Seriously, take a moment and let it sink in. A doctor, who is drunk, attacking an Uber driver.

It’s a good thing she’s on leave; Uber’s damage control got good karma points on their part by releasing this statement:

“Uber expects everyone associated with the problem – both drivers and riders – to conduct themselves with a shared level of respect and common courtesy, and all forms of harassment and abuse are not tolerated. We have suspended the rider account of this individual as we investigate the incident.”

Whoever founded Uber has a thumbs up from me.

Well folks, have a rockin’ day, and remember, it all goes downhill from here.
