Media Piranha - July 2011

Blog Etiquette

July 31st 2011 17:47
At a site called Cracked.com, I often find lists that I find both humorous and enlightening. I've often written about some lists in my blogs. I came across a list on the worst types of blogs on the internet and was surprised to see my types.

I guess according to the list, I would be a linker with a Parrot Blog, or #5 on the list. The list of eight, may very well have you in it. But it does bring up a point of if you have a right to use other people's content without their permission, especially if your giving yourself the credit for it? I try to just use the article as my reference, but according to my description, the link is the meat to my blogs.


So it may be OK to hook a site to your blog but not a specific article. That's why I used the Cracked.com site rather than the article. But the article makes sense, so my blogs will start taking that advice.

Nuts Conspriracy

July 26th 2011 20:21
This is a funny conspiracy theory coincidence! Yesterday, I wrote about the FDA going at it with Diamond over their claim about walnuts. Is it a coincidence that one of Diamond Blue's silo catches fire?

Yes it is a coincidence, but how many conspiracies could come from it? Diamond has a Meth lab. The FDA wanted to shut down the business. The walnuts were making money for the Taliban. The silo had a rocket aimed for the FDA, but it didn't take off.


You can even add your own!

Buried Alive

July 26th 2011 01:30
In the 17th century there were 149 documented cases of people being buried before they were actually dead! So what does this have to do with this entry? Apparently it is still happening today with some hilarious results!

First you should always have a doctor declare one dead, not family members that were looking to get rid of you and drop you off at the morgue. Next when one finally 'wakes up' they should scream and wake up those that are alive!

Finally perhaps one should think about removing the family members from their will!

Don't Shoot The Messenger

In a move that is sure to anger many, people may soon not be able to the Catholic Church because priests are not employees! That is if a landmark judgement that has been given little publicity goes through.

Attorneys of the abused are sure to have a problem with this ruling.

A Generation of @$$#0!35

July 25th 2011 11:30
In something that comes as a total surprise to me(yeah right), surfing under the cloak of anonymity has created a generation of no-holds barred jerks! Blogs, forums, social networks, and anywhere people are allowed to join in the commenting process anonymously is seeing an increase in flaming trolls.

The new psychological term for this is 'deindividuation' when social norms are withdrawn because identities are concealed. It also leads to a mob mentality as other trolls join in on the flaming

Costly Mistake

July 24th 2011 15:02
Imagine really getting paid to do nothing. That would be anybody's dream come true. Well a little mistake in the system sent checks to a suspended employee who was never legally fired. This went on for 12 years!

The mistake was finally discovered and the employee fired. So now the employee whose free checks stopped is suing and wants unemployment benefits

Al Qaeda's Desperation

Al Qaeda must be getting low in numbers. So what better ways to start recruiting than by catering to children?
Al Qaeda launches its cartoon recruitment tool!
