Taser Death

The only thing that disturbes me more than the death at the airport itself is the acts of the man who took the video. First, he GAVE the tape to police - duh, it's evidence. But then he demanded it back after realizing how much money he could get for it. Disgusting. The worst part is the morbid fasination of so many viewers. I'm almost positive that this video will end up on youtube - just another crazy video for someone to enjoy. Sure, taser videos can be fun, but not if it's the precursor to someone's death.





Tasers HURT.

Tabloids

Everyone knows that tabloids focus on women. Duh. Being a woman myself, my opinion is coming from my experience. Every girl has at least one female celebrity that we hate. Absolutely 100% cannot stand them. I think I little bit of hate is healthy. I mean really who can honestly say that they love Lindsey Lohan and not laugh when something like this happens:





I think maybe it's just seeing someone else's life is more screwed up than our own that gives us some sick kind of pleasure at seeing the rich and beautiful people crash and burn. What me? Laugh maniacally when Paris got sent to jail?! NO!!! NEver! I love Paris, she's my friend! I think this youtube video reealllly sums a lot of teen stars up nicely:

NBC Slamming Apple

Wow. I think the author of the article put it nicely. Seriosuly? I don't know how Jeff Zucker can expect revenue from Apple selling hardware. Is there actually anyone one there who specifically buys an iPod so they can download iTunes, and download episodes off NBC? I defiantely don't think so. I like the set rate, it evens the playing field. Not only that, but if iTunes wasn't so widely available, with its set rates, and it's expansive downloadable library, don't you think that limewire, and kazaa (for example) would get even more business? Absolutely. Here's a video about the introduction to the iTunes music store





If artists can get their inflated egos around selling their music online for a set rate... then everone else should as well.
