Surfing the vast cultural wasteland: The “Sharknado” movies have worn out their (exceedingly limited) welcome, says Associated Press TV critic Frazier Moore.
The third in the series, premiering Wednesday on Syfy, is subtitled “Oh Hell No!” — an exclamation that also applies to the casting of conservative firebrand Ann Coulter as the vice president.
Boob tube brain drain: Too much TV might raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. What’s more, the effects could show up much sooner than previously believed, a new study suggests.
If the research holds up, a surgeon general’s warning should be affixed to every airing of the “Sharknado” movies.
Higher learning: An eight-hour class on Washington’s emerging marijuana industry, taught by an Everett attorney, is scheduled for August at Edmonds Community College.
The class will be good for one college credit, which is roughly the number of college credits earned by guys who sold weed out of their dorm rooms at Evergreen back in the early 1980s.
