Happening NOW: May 21, 2010

What’s happening May 21, 2010:

Surprise, surprise, BP underestimated the scale of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It could be 19 times more than expected. After the company turned away CBS as it tried to film the slick, Chairman of the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee Edward Markey ensured the world can watch the spewing oil on a live cam.

You should also watch Astral Rejections, a Tumblr blog devoted to documenting the unique form of street furniture progeria making our fairly new street furniture look like it’s already nearing the end of its lifespan.

Looks like the times are also taking their toll on American Apparel, which dodged bankruptcy with a loan but now can’t repay it on time. In-store formula of looking disinterested and waiting for this customers creditors to go away probably won’t work.

It’s a week away, but now might be a good idea to start browsing what sites are on offer for this year’s Doors Open.

Finally, in an “it’s about damn time” arrest, the moving company behind a scam where they’re jack rates on customers after taking possessions hostage, has been shut down. The family movers were in business for years and stole about $1 million from GTA residents before getting arrested.[rssbreak]
