Oh, almost forgot another entry: anything from auto-tuned rapper Future (known for his song "Tony Montana").

I heard he just signed to 'I Wish I Was Deaf' Jam.

Over the Summer, I got Rick Roll'd while watching Dallas-based ABC affiliate WFAA-TV's "News 8 Daybreak". The video shows meteorologist Greg Fields dancing during a commercial break. He's actually dancing to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". However, The production staff of WFAA swapped audio and snuck in "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

TV news blooper! WFAA TV live on the air on DayBreak morning show! GREAT VIDEO


There's also a hidden gem on the 2nd TV monitor top row in the background if you watch closely.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this case. And to this day, my heart still aches for the families and friends of the victims killed in this vile and sinful act. :cry: And it seems with more shootouts this year, some people REALLY want this so-called "End of the World" apocalypse to happen. Not that it's related, but there have been some :censored:-up psychos coming out of the woodwork. :club:

I've been hearing a few parents think about home-schooling their children. But even that doesn't help. Besides, it doesn't matter what precautions we take, there always has been (and always will be) mad men walking among us that may have suffered mental issues, or just has "Thug Mentality" (Feeling that the world owes them a living). But that doesn't mean we have to live in fear every day. We should live out every day as if it's normal, as well as spend time with our loved ones (family & friends), because you never know when things may come to a screeching halt. And to those talking about gun control, even that won't solve the problem. Terrorists can still kill by using bombs, swords, whatever else they can get their hands on. Think back to these incidents: the Oklahoma City Bombing, 9/11 Attacks, the Waco Siege (although weapons were involved in this incident, the facility was set on fire on the final day), and probably many others.

Now that I have my saying, I figure I'd post a story that proves every cloud has a silver lining.

Dogs Put Smiles on Faces of Sandy Hook School Students

Some much-needed smiles were brought to the children of Newtown, Conn., by way of seven dogs especially trained to comfort survivors in the wake of a disaster.

Seeing the dogs led to some of the town’s children smiling for the first time since Friday’s murderous rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, said Tim Hetzner of the Lutheran Church Charities

The dogs, mostly golden retrievers, “bring some relief” to children, and put “a smile on their face, kind of like a teddy bear, but a live one,” Hetzner told ABC News.

Thanks to Jesse for mentioning this on Facebook (and Twitter) moments ago.

Comcast Adds NBC Peacock To New Logo, Hoping To Replace Thoughts Of Mediocre Cable With Memories Of So-So TV Shows

Even though NBC’s TV offerings only represent a relatively small portion of Comcast’s overall business, the folks at Kabletown are giving the network’s classic peacock logo a prime position in the new Comcast logo.

The logo, which was revealed to employees last night, replaces Comcast’s well-known black-and-red design with an all-caps version of the company name crowned by the peacock logo that’s been associated with NBC for 56 years. It will gradually replace all the existing logos on Comcast trucks, uniforms, ads and marketing materials. The Xfinity branding will remain unchanged.

I saw the new layout. It's not too bad. But I do agree, don't fix something that isn't broken.

General Discussion / Internet Meltdown?
« on: December 10, 2012, 06:35:03 PM »
At 5PM this evening, Facebook has become inaccessible. So I went and checked the website Down Right Now to find out what's going on. That too has been inaccessible (You know there's trouble on the web when Downrightnow.com is literally Down Right Now. When I finally accessed the site a few moments ago, I saw that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Gmail, and Hotmail has been having service trouble this evening. (Most of the status messages read "Likely Service Disruption")

Is the internet having a meltdown?

This video I saw of a cat trying to be a DJ got me cracking up earlier this week. The real fun begins at the 34-second mark.
