Harassing Stars/Athletes over Twitter and other Social Networking Sites...Really?

So, this actually happens a lot.  Something big is going on in sports or in showbiz etc. and people start harassing the stars/athletes over Twitter.  In my opinion, it's so pointless to do something like this.  What brings this topic up is Shane Mosley getting so much discouragement.  People follow him just to try to bring him down with offensive and downright unnecessary comments.( If you get on YouTube a lot, you probably know that people would best describe these kind of people as "trolls".)  If you are seriously going to follow someone on Twitter or subscribe to someone on YouTube just to try to discourage them, what exactly is the point?  I'll have you know that some people on YouTube do actually make money and you taking the time to watch that video, even though just one view isn't worth much, still adds up.  And taking the time to comment the video; if you have activity sharing settings set to show comments you posted, it'll show up on others homepages...so technically you are just giving the poster more publicity.  But anyway, the whole concept of all these "haters" or "trolls" just shows that some people really need to either get a life or use their no-life status positively...

WARNING - FAKE bin Laden Picture Leading to Malicious Sites!

This has actually been going on for awhile, and I just wanted to help spread the news to not believe any photos of Osama bin Laden dead.  If you see one, it is a hoax, edited.  Most of these have links that lead to malicious sites that can harm your computer! Don't click the links!  You run the risk of getting a trojan, virus, or key-logger on your computer.  There have been many phished accounts on Facebook that are posting them as statuses or wall posts to others making it look believable.  Whatever you do, don't click, even if you want to see the fake photo.  This is the fake photo.
FAKE PHOTO - Fair Use because I am reporting news and educating others of the threats of clicking links associated with this picture.

Obama - "There are going to be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is you won't see bin Laden walking on this earth again."

It's official, no photos will be released of Osama bin Laden's corpse.  Obama says that a picture won't really make a difference.  He assures us that bin Laden is no longer alive so we should not be worrying about a photo.  I still think a photo should be shown to Americans.  People need to be reassured with evidence and this whole spiel from conspirators will end.  Honestly, the whole idea of how it was mentioned of possibly releasing a photo and now saying they won't release a photo will just fuel the conspirators with more "evidence".  Well, all I have to say is let it go for now, why would they lie about killing him?

U.S. May Release Photos of bin Laden's Corpse!

There are confirmed reports that the photos of bin Laden's dead body could possibly be released.  Releasing these images would make all the conspirators stop going on about how he is actually still alive.  So far, the only pictures released are of President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and other administration as they watched the raid on bin Laden's mansion. 

BUT there are still reasons the United States is not releasing the photos of the corpse.  Since, of course, he was shot in the head and in the chest, they are allegedly very gruesome photos.  Not only that, but if the photos are released, critics say that they could offend Muslims and be in danger of extremists.  The photos could anger Muslims living in the U.S. and they could feel the need to retaliate for revenge.

In my opinion, the photos NEED to be released.  Not that I am one of the conspirators but we have to give them their proof and I think all Americans should have the right to see it.  And if Muslims would get offended by it, this is America, not Israel.(No, I'm not being racist, but maybe blunt, yes.)

False Bomb Threats - Punish the Delinquents

 Quick Summary of what My School has had
Wow, just wow.  Fourth time being evacuated in about a month's time.  Are people seriously that desperate to get out of school, and with it being so close to summer?  Bomb threats are a serious issue and posting false ones makes it seem like every threat will be false.  What if a real terrorist would actually have planted a bomb and someone makes a subtle threat that is ignored because of all the past threats being false?  Seriously, if you are that immature to post these things, you deserve to be kicked out of public education, I'm sorry but that's just the solution.  No little suspension or short expulsion is enough punishment for this kind of stuff.  Not only is this a safety issue, but a huge inconvenience for all staff and students.
A NATIONAL ISSUE
I know for sure that it's not just my school that has had problems with threats.  I've read some articles online of how much threats have been increasing and I'm thinking that the death of Osama Bin Laden may have a lot to do with this.  I think that 99 percent of it is students just taking advantage of it because they know people are on high alert now.  Now, I did hear on the news about Lancaster, PA because it is located about an hour from me.  There was allegedly an actual bomb in a parking garage and they had to evacuate that whole block and a few others.  If this keeps up, are we going to have to stay inside our own house with chain locked doors and wearing bomb squad suits at all times soon?  To end this, let me just plea to all the people making the false threats.  Please stop making these threats, it's a possible safety hazard to us all and just flat out inconvenient.  

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Have a nice day and if you agree with what I'm saying, share with a friend? =]

Hot Tub Time Machine Movie Review and Intro Summary

 Introduction Summary
Imagine traveling back to the 80's and having to try to redo the exact things you did before so you wouldn't mess up the "space time continuum".  Would you try to make a quick buck knowing things that are going to happen?  Better be careful when doing so, be sure you repeated exactly what you did or something else you are placing a bet on may also change.  No more details or a spoiler will come, a very funny one too.

"Hot Tub Time Machine" is about three middle-aged men, Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), and Nick (Craig Robinson) traveling to a ski lodge and dragging along Adam's nephew, Jacob (Clark Duke).  The whole point of the trip was Lou was thought to have attempted suicide so his friends were trying to show that they still cared for him and that his life meant something, even though he didn't actually try to suicide, he just got so drunk and passed out inconveniently while in his garage jamming down the accelerator. 

When they arrive at this ski resort, they are greeted by an image they haven't seen before, a shabby lodge.  They couldn't believe how shabby the lodge had become.  A very strange one-armed bellboy (Crispin Glover) escorts their luggage in such an unprofessional manner that is actually quite funny if you like stupid funny(Like me).  He even plain out asks them to tip him.  They are given the same room they had before, and of course that room had gone downhill too.  A random repairman (Chevy Chase) fixes the tub and it starts to bubble mysteriously.  After the guys jumped in, Lou's Chernobyl soda drink is spilled onto the hot tub controls.  They don't realize that they have been transported back to the 80's until they go out to ski the next day. 

The style of clothing is 80's and the music they were playing was 80's.  Not only that, but Ronald Reagan was live on the TV and many other clues gave them an inkling they somehow did travel back in time.  Watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" to find out how they try to accomplish getting back to their own time.


Review
In my opinion, this was probably one of my top 10 favorite comedies of all time.  It is like a mix of "the Hangover" and "Napolean Dynamite".  It does have its moments of what some people would call stupid funny, but it also has those great laugh out loud moments.  A good bit of swearing is used so if you plan on watching with children and you're particular about that, I wouldn't recommend it. 

This movie gets a 9.5 out of 10 in my book.  Hope you also enjoy this movie.  Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day!
