12/10

1. Information about airport security that was released on the internet shows that the immediate family of the mayor of Washington DC is exempt from screening. Excuse me? Have you see some of the mayors of Washington DC? They shouldn’t be exempt from screening to get into a late-night 7-11.

2. AT&T wants to limit iPhone customers, because they use their phones too much and AT&T can’t handle the volume. AT&T’s new series of ads show people what they could be doing besides playing with their iPhones, like talking to their children. Or empathizing with live human beings.

3. Facebook is trying to push its users to make their information more public, because that’s “the way the world is moving”. Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. Facebook also announced plans to generate massive amounts of CO2 to speed up global warming, since that’s also the way the world is moving.

4. Eli Roth, the director of torture porn movies like “Hostel”, has admitted working in the sex porn industry as a college student. His next logical step? Directing gourmet cooking shows featuring the most artery-clogging recipes ever imagined.

5. In the Philippines, a group of men have taken hostages to get police to drop charges of murder and robbery. But if you think local police are the type to drop murder charges if you kidnap people, what makes you think they’re the type to keep their word?
