Happy Meal or Death Trap?


Did you buy your kids some of those Shrek glasses sold at McDonald's? If you did, stop using them immediately. McDonald's today announced a recall of every glass sold in the United States and Canada, citing that traces of cadmium on the pictures of the glass. Cadmium is a toxic metal which has the opportunity to cause major medical problems if children are exposed to it for long periods of time. The fear is that cadmium could leech from the paint to the children's hands, then that child would be exposed to it if they touch their mouth with their unwashed hands!

AT&T to the IPHONE : Watch me make Android the # 1 smartphone


AT&T decided to kill the IPHONE today. Ok, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, however I think they did give Verizon a boost with their new smart phone data plans. AT&T has decided to do away with their Unlimited Data plan for smartphone, instead lowering the prices but placing a cap on how much you can use it. Yep, that means congratulation on your new IPHONE, just remember you can only use the Internet for X amount of time! What a rip off. If I'm Verizon and Sprint, I would be sending them a thank you card right now. If I'm Apple, then I'm already planning on breaking up with AT&T and calling Sprint and Verizon for a date.

Michael Jordan is back!


2k Sports announces that Michael Jordan will be the cover athlete for NBA 2K11 . I've been waiting for years upon years for MJ to be back into a NBA game. Some people may not care at all, but this is huge news for me. The greatest player in the game has been very selective on what basketball video game products he allows his image to be on. You'll notice in game before, the Bulls has had # 23 playing shooting guard, not Michael Jordan. This is because Jordan is not of the players union, which has a contract with EA and 2K to be able to include current and retired players in their games. Apparently, Jordan needs the money , or something because not only will he be in the game, he's on the cover.

I'll Be Back - BP goes to plan C


The Governor of California has been called in to help clean up the mess in the Gulf Coast left by the what may be the biggest oil spill in history, Sorta. OK, actually he has nothing to do with it, however BP did call in the "Robots" to "Terminate" the problem. After project "Top Kill" failed, BP has decided to send in Robots to cut the pipe, then feed the oil to a ship above. Only a temporary fix until they can figure out what to do next, but it will slow down the problem.

BP is looking at this all wrong. Instead of quickly finding a solution to the problem, they should find someone else to blame it on. I say they should place the entire incident on George W. Bush. Why? Because everyone else does. Global Warming, The Recession, Gas Prices, High School drop out rate, steroids in baseball(see the film "Bigger , Stronger, and Faster") : All W's fault. If I'm late for work, I'll just blame George. Sorry, about my sarcasm. In fact, instead of George Bush, BP should blame John Calapari. You know he's got something to do with it.
