On August 20, 2010 at 3:38 pm
On the 19th of August, South Korea decided it had it up to *here* with the homicidal jackasses to its north PMS’ing about everything from Japanese “comfort women” to US policy.

Obama has his “Internets” moment
On June 28, 2010 at 9:05 am
So much for that whole “first Internet-savvy President” thing.

On June 11, 2010 at 11:13 am

In a first for the forum, hashtags and keywords will automatically log into a feed that is entirely pimped out with applications and graphics all its own. To get to the page [...]

On June 3, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams found out recently that sexting is always the best policy when she accidentally posted a topless photo of herself on her Twitter account.

SIGN Petition In Support of Arizona Immigration Reform
On May 10, 2010 at 5:00 am
The response to Arizona’s ridiculous attempt to define ‘illegal’ as something (or in this case: someone) that by existing or by doing is breaking the law has proven to be of historical magnitude. Obviously they’re just racists; as our President, the prophet Barack Hussein Obama would suggest. Actually, it goes far past mere suggestion. The [...]
Is Professionalism Passe in Cyberspace?
On April 18, 2010 at 11:32 pmAlright, so this is not a necessarily a political rant (although there are a few thinly veiled references to the current White House occupant), but nevertheless a topic of cultural import in the age of social media marketing.

The Ladies Room: More Reasons to Hate Twitter
On March 1, 2010 at 9:29 am
Admittedly, I write a lot of fluff. While perky, light topics are generally all I care to delve into, occasionally I’m struck by a subject I can’t ignore. This week, I came across an article about a woman who was Live Tweeting her abortion. Classy. Angie Jackson is a blogger, like everyone these days. I [...]

Poor Chachi
On January 23, 2010 at 10:51 am
Scott Baio should have taken a hint from Google and avoided making Michelle Obama jokes. Because America now knows that anyone who makes fun of the first lady is in fact a high ranking official in the Klu Klux Klan. You would have thought that after electing a half black president who prefers to be [...]
Chris Brown’s Father Figures?
On December 23, 2009 at 10:38 am
“Rihanna is a little devil – you can tell by lookin’ at her.” “Hell yes – don’t tell me she didn’t deserve what she got, shoooo,” some big, sonorous man’s voice chortled in return. Lost in an inspection of yogurt fat content, I thought for sure I was hallucinating – the probiotics were going to [...]

On December 18, 2009 at 7:51 am
One poor sucker’s best man rigged his bed with a sexual activity tweeting device while they were on their honeymoon. Now it’s live streaming HERE.
