People Magazine Names ‘Sexiest Male Models Alive’

image.jpegOTTAWA, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – People Magazine is known for its international list of top celebrities and professions — from the ‘Most Beautiful Women,’ to ‘Sexiest Doctor Alive’ to “Most Influential Men and Women on Earth.’

In its upcoming, special double-issue, the magazine has named the ‘Sexiest Male Models Alive.’ That’s right — models — not one or two, but three.

And the winners are: U.S. President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

In naming the trio, the magazine editors said, “Who could disagree that these men exude the look, the charisma and the bearing of fashion icons regardless of what they’re wearing — a suit, short shorts or the Filipino barong tagalog?”

The special issue hits the newsstands on July 4th.

Brexit Fallout: Oxford Dictionaries To Drop The Vowels ‘E’ And ‘U’

imageLONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – The massive fallout from the U.K.’s Brexit vote to leave the European Union (EU) continues unabated.  Financial stocks have fallen. Racial tensions escalate. European unity is in peril.

Now, even the English language must change.

Today, Oxford University Press announced that it will soon release an updated edition of its English Dictionaries that will basically eliminate the vowels ‘E’ and ‘U,’ leaving only three: ‘A,’ ‘I’ and ‘O.’

“Since the U.K. decided to leave the EU, we don’t see any further need for those two vowels,” an Oxford Press announcement said. image

The Adobo Chronicles learned from reliable sources that the dropped vowels in each word entry in the dictionaries will be automatically replaced with the asterisk (*).

Henceforth, our datelines emanating from the United Kingdom will appear as ” *nit*d Kingdom.”
