ALABAMA TV STATION LEARNS TWITTER, BILLBOARDS DON’T MIX A trio of of television anchors in Mobile, Ala. have learned the hard way that Twitter and electronic billboards don’t mix very well.
A reader e-mailed me the unintentionally humorous photo above of a billboard for WPMI-TV.
Next to the image of three WPMI anchors is a “right now on Twitter” screen. Giving drivers updates on Twitter in real time as they pass by the billboard is pretty cool, right? Well, it is, unless the update says “3 Accused of Gang Rape in Monroeville.”
Sorry I haven’t posted for the past 4(?) days, I was very busy with school and tests. I had a lot to catch up to because of that stupid Mexican flu. Sorry again!
I wanted to post something good and funny and interesting, but I couldn’t find interesting news…
Oh wait, when I was watching the morning news/journal (how do you say it?), it was all about our queen’s visit to Mexico. I believe she stayed/stays in the Four Seasons Hotel, and they showed people who were waiting for her with flags and stuff, BUT then I saw this group of youngsters with big posters, and they were screaming and shouting and God knows what more they did. Guess who they were waiting for… Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner! It was quite hilarious to see xD
There was also a lot of New Moon stuff going on, press conferences and junkets (can anyone tell me what that is?) and new interviews. So I had to sort that out, too. Actually, I’m still not done! Oh well… And I didn’t watch the EMAs, so I still need to watch that too. I do know that Beyonce got three awards and Green Day one, and others… Oh yes, Gaga of course! I heard all of this on the news, only thing on tv I have time for xD
Manamana!
[EDIT: I've put on the YouTube-version, because WordPress or Google is being a bitch. So here you go, a German version!]
A PLASTIC surgeon has told how he chose a dowdy girl as his bride – so he could sculpt her into his ideal wife.
Reza Vossough hated 33-year-old Cany’s body, but they tied the knot anyway after he spotted her “potential”.
He performed EIGHT operations to change her chest, thighs, eyes and face.
Why would you marry someone (you don’t even love) and then turn it into ‘something’ with cup F? Might as well get yourself a supermodel or something. And I don’t get the whole fall-in-love-after-plastic-surgery-thing, really doesn’t make sense.
Yu Zhenhuan, 32, from the northern Chinese province of Liaoning, has hair on 96 per cent of his body because of a hormone imbalance.
From the age of seven he was cast in movies, such as Little Hairy Boy’s Treasure Adventure, and he also had a brief singing career.
However, a recent attempt to win the lead role of The Monkey King in a television adaptation of Journey to the West, the Chinese classic, ended in acrimony when the director said he was not sufficiently attractive.
The sperm bank offering celeb look-alike babies
Women can now give themselves a fighting chance of having a child who looks like a movie star, sports hero or world leader.
A Southern California sperm bank has taken to matching its donors to the celebrities they most resemble, putting an actual image to a process that previously had prospective parents sort through an often confusing jumble of printed characteristics, from ethnicity to eye colour.
Meet the grandmother who snores at 111 decibels… louder than a JET plane
Grandmother-of-four Jenny Chapman has been diagnosed with one of Britain’s loudest snores and is noisier than a jet plane.
Mrs Chapman, 60, snores every night at a window-rattling 111.6 decibels – eight decibels louder than the roar of a low-flying jet – much to the dismay of her long-suffering husband Colin, 62.
The retired bank worker could drown out the sounds of a spinning washing machine, diesel truck, farm tractor or speeding express train.
A STAGE hypnotist claims he can help women “think” their BOOBS bigger.
David “The Mind Persuader” Knight claims an 85 per cent success rate – with almost half those who try it going up by one or more cup sizes.
He has brought out a CD on which he tells listeners: “Your breasts are growing… growing larger now.”
An investigation by a government commission saw representatives visit the village of Maboleni in Zimbabwe, where the bizarre-looking creature – which has since been cremated – was found.
Governor Jason Machaya (56) and officials from the police took a look at photos of the ‘hybrid’ and spoke to witnesses.
Their verdict: “The head belonged to a human but the body belonged to a goat!”
Somehow this reminds me of The Unborn, don’t ask me why.

Since 1973 Jane Helms, from Texas, said that she has had regular visits from extra-terrestrials and was often taken into UFOs for medical experiments.
“It is your time to come now,” the aliens said when they appeared in her bedroom to forcefully escort her to their ‘mothership’.
Later on she became pregnant despite not having had sex with her husband for quite some time.
