• Yahoo News puts Bush with cadavers

    I was reading the news tonight and came across this story about president Bush’s statements about the Martin Luther King holiday.

    The cutline on the image accompanying the article stated that Bush was met with the “NCAAP” president.

  • Did Apple ripoff a band’s video to sell MacBooks?

    Earlier this week Apple announced the release of it’s new Intel-based laptop, the Macbook. Alongside the announcement came a new commercial to tout the product. However, some are crying foul that Apple’s video looks a little too much like a video from the band The Postal Service. You be the judge.
