A couple named Aaron and Christine Boring have just won a lawsuit they filed in 2008 alleging Google Street View violated their rights by having images of their home despite a sign that read “Private Road No Trespassing”. The couple was paid $1.


“That is one sweet dollar of vindication,” the Borings said in a statement released by their attorney, Gregg Zegarelli. Hell I could have gave him a dollar.



The Kardashians get spoofed again on SNL. The heckling never gets old.



Facebook is in the news again. Facebook campaign which encouraged people to change their profile photo to their favorite childhood cartoon character to raise awareness for children’s charity the NSPCC has been exposed as a fake. Even scarier some are saying the campaign was started by pedophiles hoping to narrow down which users are children. Here’s what Facebook is saying about the whole thing:



We’re concerned with the suggestion that pedophiles could use this successful viral campaign to target young people. This is not the case. This campaign has been taken up by thousands of people, none of whom can be identified as young or old by the character they pick for their profile image.People on Facebook often change their profile picture and whether it is to an image of a cartoon character or a photo with friends, it does not make you less safe on Facebook. We were pleased to note that the NSPCC, while not responsible for the campaign, have welcomed the attention it has brought to this important issue.

Well I don't care about facebook but someone is using this to ure kids they need to be shot.
