Critical Terror Level Declared in London

The Prime Minister of England, Theresa May, rose the terror threat level to critical level on Friday afternoon. This was in response to the explosive device that partially deto- nated on a public train earlier that morning. Reports are still unclear as to who is responsible and what exactly hap- pened. This is the second time England’s terror threat level was escalated to critical level. The last time the terror level was escalated to this level was back in May following the Manchester arena attack. On Friday morning at 8:20 am,an explosive device was partially detonated on board one of the trains at the Par- sons Green train station in London, leaving 29 injured. A bucket full of incendiary materials, wires, and explosives was left on the train earlier that morning, wrapped up in a plastic shopping bag. Eye witnesses on board the train de- scribed the bag as being there for some time.

Set those preconceived notions aside, thousands of dollars-- basically my mortgage uncanny plastic charm, I’d like to talk about as the cast of Dance Moms takes it to a whole each year to do it. They are all striving for one on the Network ‘Lifetime’. This show is other level.

There are still the crazy “momagers” and the catfights, but these peo- ple might be even a bit more cutthroat. The lengths they will go to get ahead of people they consider their friends is astounding and borderline pathetic. The thing about watching reality TV, no matter the show, is that it adds a palpable lay- er of shame to your life. I would love to say this is not the case with Dance Moms but un- fortunately it is. You will be completely and totally embarrassed if people happen to find out that you sit down once a week and volun- tarily subject yourself to this glittery disaster. You might have to watch it on your laptop in your room to keep a bit of your reputation. Nonetheless, the entertainment value is there in the end. All in all I would wholeheartedly recom- mend this show. I however, am reality TV trash and have quite the selection in my rep- ertoire.
