This Week in Awesome (1/30/10)

I hope you were able to survive a week without TWiA. I would have liked to set it up ahead of time like I did before, but as of when we left last week I didn't have anything postable. Anyway, onward...

Looks like this trendlet isn't going away anytime soon: in the footsteps of Look at This Fucking Hipster and Hipster Is the New Homeless, I give you Unhappy Hipsters.

And now, the schadenfreude portion of the program (that word's been coming up a lot lately), vehicular division: first, from Chile, an attempt to right an overturned truck goes wrong. (LiveLeak via Jalopnik) Then, from Turkey, a mind-boggling incident involving a dump truck driving with its bed raised, with predictably disastrous results. (Telegraph UK via Jalopnik)

A nod to the iPad (sort of) by way of MadTV from several years ago. (TV Squad)

And finally, if you have aspirations to be a TV news field reporter, this instructional video from UK humorist Charlie Brooker should be extremely helpful. (NewsWipe via Videogum)
