Despite the feeling of ‘love’ in the air, the world was not devoid of lows:

1. Okay, even though I waxed poetic about the Charles and Emma kind of love, Darwin was not perfect. Like any scientist, when he was considering the pros and cons of marriage, he wrote it down in a list called, “Marry. Not Marry. This is the question.” Highlights from the marriage pros: “… better than a dog anyhow.”
2. Don’t want your son to smoke pot? Just tell him that smoking pot increases the risk of testicular cancer. From my experience, guys take things that involve their genitals very seriously.
3. The Rihanna and Chris Brown debacle is just plain stupid. Brown’s father came out saying that he was “remorseful.” I bet he is. This could be a career killer. All I can say is, Rihanna don’t go back.
4. Most folks dream of getting married someday. But Bacon reader, Jennifer Lou points out that in some countries marriage is being utilized as a means to oppress women and molest children.
5. And oh God, watching these parents pimp out their teen-aged kids to The Sun is a new low. Teen pregnancies happen all of the time but what parent would allow their kid to pose for  a photo shoot to be on the cover of that rag?

But let’s leave this post on a high note, shall we? Check out this cutie pie duo called Pomplamoose:
