Banished to the cornfield...Facebook spells out their policy for dead users. Turns out you need proof to bury your departed loved one's profile. Probably in FarmVille. It doesn't get much goofier than this. What's German for "this is ART?"..."Long Live the Graveyard!" That's the slogan for an ad campaign by cemetery gardeners in Deutschland. They hope to change your thinking about death. After they plant shrubs around you does it matter what visitors think? DUI for Dummies...Think it's easy being a patrol cop? One minute a drunk clown is bearing down on you, the next a tipsy, sopping wet cow is blaming a GPS malfunction for making your day. Bloated burgers for bloated software...Seems like a fair swap. Microsoft and BK Japan team up to bring you -- well, it ain't health care reform. The O in OS must stand for obesity. Somebody alert Ted Turner...Bookies will love him. NFL officials may castrate him. Chad Ochocinco's vast posse on Twitter could be in for a treat. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver who changed his legal last name from Johnson to his uniform number (you get the picture) plans to start his own NFL news service on Twitter called OCNN (smell a lawsuit?) to compete with mainstream media. Oh goodie, we need more of that! TV never looked better...Some day all programming will be delivered this way. Until then, these two geniuses probably should give up crime. Ten Year Vamp...Our feature artist is a female fronted power pop band from Albany, NY. Debbie Gabrione and Ten Year Vamp have won numerous regional and national awards, sold thousands of CDs, hit the Billboard charts, played 100-200 shows a year the past six years and shared the bill with bands like Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Lifehouse and the Spin Doctors -- all without benefit of a major label. They've been dubbed the next No Doubt. Give a listen to 'Never Know' and judge for yourself. Follow us on Twitter... http://www.twitter.com/2kens |
