The horror stories about trying to cancel an AOL account are legendary, but this is probably the first time we can hear just how bad it really is. Vincent Ferrari wanted to cancel his AOL account and decided to tape the call between himself and the service rep. The conversation that followed was one for the books.
After learning about the incident AOL issued an apology and says the employee is no longer with the company.
Maria Sharapova skews our perspective as she stands like a giant next to the rather small looking Land Rover LR2 and the two midget camera men in the back.
Killjoy tennis chiefs have outlawed skimpy outfits at this year’s Wimbledon, which starts today.
They want spectators to keep their eye on the ball, not on the athletic figures of the gorgeous female players.
So they have issued a strict new dress code banning gear deemed too sexy or low-cut.
That means a bevy of babes must cover up. What a glaring fault — especially when you check the form of stars like former champ Maria Sharapova.
Rev. J.R. Mahon of the XXXchurch was all the rage at this weekend’s Erotica LA where he managed to hand out his entire stock of 3,300 Bibles on the first day of the three-day show. Mahon, whose mission is to spread the word to those in the industry, acknowledges that convention-goers did a double-take when they saw his ministry’s booth and Bibles with the unusual covers.
How many ways can you think of to have fun with Google? Philipp Lenssen has thought of 55, and published them all in his new book aptly titled, 55 Ways to Have Fun With Google. It includes such gems as the Google Snake Game, Googledromes, Memecodes, Googlesport, The Google Calculator, Googlepark, Google Weddings, Google hacking, and more. The best part is that it’s available free as a .pdf under a Creative Commons license which encourages you to copy, read, share, remix, convert, quote, browse, and print the document to your liking. Of course, if you prefer something tangible, the book is also available on Amazon.
What little girl? (Click to enlarge)
The White House has since changed the caption on this photo after it was discovered by Wonkette.
[A] 14-year-old girl and her mother are seeking $30 million in damages because they say that a 19-year-old man who met the teenager on the site assaulted her.
Adam Reposa, the attorney for the man accused of being a predator, told Time magazine on Thursday that he was considering his own lawsuit against MySpace and its owner, the News Corporation, because the girl was only 13 at the time of the supposed encounter, and MySpace rules prohibit anyone under 14 from creating a site. Seriously.
* Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gets the techno treatment in this remixed video of his on-stage antics. Developers, developers, developers, developers.
* Hacker Gary McKinnon tells what he found after allegedly breaking into NASA’s computers in search for evidence of UFOs. Conclusion: he saw lo-res photos but couldn’t download the hi-res versions because his connection (56k modem) was too slow — the BS meter is registering high on this one.
* Venice, Italy gets invaded by seaweed. The 3-meter long strands, which are almost impossible to destroy, threaten to clog the city’s famous canals.
* France challenges Google Maps with their own mapping website, Geoportail. They claim higher resolution images than Google Maps and Google Earth — the only problem is that there were so many visitors to the site they had to temporarily take it down.
* The second richest man in the world, Warren Buffett has announced plans to donate the bulk of his $44 billion fortune to the richest man in the world, Bill Gates (well, technically the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).
Lynx (Axe to those of us in the States), aired their latest body spray commercial in the UK just prior to the England vs Sweden soccer football game the other night. The spot was aptly titled, Billions of Bikini Babes. I think they got their point across, Spray More. Get More.
They’ve proven once again that bouncing girls in bikinis can sell a guy anything…
