Can’t give ‘em away: Wal-Mart says it will stop stocking the AR-15 and other semi-automatic weapons because fewer people are buying them.
The Buzz assumes this means that most of the weapons’ would-be buyers are either dead, in prison, or busy going to Donald Trump rallies.
What if the Big Mac and the Whopper had a baby? In the spirit of publicity stunts the International Day of Peace, Burger King is asking McDonald’s to join forces on a “McWhopper” that combines elements of the chains’ signature burgers.
Fine. But please, we beseech you, McDonald’s and Burger King: Do not make a mash-up of Ronald McDonald and BK’s creepy king mascot.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1965, Le Corbusier, the Swiss-born architect whose work heavily influenced the design of stark, bunker-like buildings like the 1967 Snohomish County Courthouse, died at age 77.
The Buzz suggests that a fitting way to acknowledge Le Corbusier’s architecture on his birthday would be to knock down one of the buildings inspired by it.
