BLUNDER
Well, Mariah Carey, you’ve managed to make headlines again, this time for something unheard of.
Recently, Carey threw herself a “Mariah Carey” themed party in Italy, where she had all of her guests — male and female — dress up as their favorite signature “Mariah Carey.”
I guess you know you’ve made it in life when you have so many alter egos you can throw a party for 40 people, each guest dressed up as a different version of you. Either way this seems a bit ridiculous and over-the-top, even for someone like Carey, who essentially ran the world in the 2000s. Why do you need party pictures with yourself?
A costume party is one thing; a Mariah Carey party is another.
WONDER
Think about how far technology has come in just the last 10 years. We went from no iPhone, to iPhone! That’s a huge jump in only one decade.
Now, think about the resources used worldwide for people with a temporarily inoperative leg within the last 15 decades. It’s just been crutches, with the only major transformation being a change in material from wood to metal. The shape is the same, the function is the same and the cons are the same that they’ve been since around the Civil War.
Recently, a completely new and long overdue crutch design was released. This new forearm crutch design makes it so your posture isn’t negatively affected when trying to mobilize, and it enables a variety of walking styles. It’s also good for weight distribution and prevents sore underarms.
It sucks enough not having the use of part of your leg; the last thing you need is for the tool designed to help you heal to give you a hard time as well. With bright ideas like these, everyone experiencing leg pain will shortly be able to crutch their way to recovery.
