  • PSA: YouTube Posts Your Comments To Google+, You Anti-Semite

    I know people are creeped out by Google sometimes, but I have a story to that will make your skin crawl. Aside from being disgusted by what I am about to write, chances are, it might start to wake some people up on how nothing on the web is anonymous. YouTube Videos Auto Post Themselves…

    I noticed on my facebook wall a bunch of images popping up. It was as my friend Bubba said: https://twitter.com/BubbaHaKohen/status/262978733202350080 The only problem is, they are all fake.

  • Who is Sad Keanu? The guy was just eating a sandwich!

    I love hearing about a meme for the first time. The underlying rule here, celebrities cant do anything without the fear of becoming a meme.
