sms text t-shirts for change

I think this has some potential real power. This new company makes t shirts (customizable no less), that have slogans and a sn sms text number that other people can opo into their cell phones and get more information. Very cool marketing idea, and also a real possibility for sharing information and changes.

Jameson had mentioned that a place in China had received like a million text messages from citizens about building soe new manufacturing plant, and that all of those text messages had gotten the local government to halt plans for the development. Very cool that tech is being used for social change. Very cool indeed.

do your own background check

I found apost at digg that talks about ways to do your own background check to see what ffutre landlords or other people may find out about you. Very cool info to gather for yourself, kind of an eye opener about how much info people can easily get about you though. Stalkers, crazy ex husbands, who knows who uses info sources liek this. I am all for freedom of information, we just need to spread the word for unknowing females about how giving away bits of information could lead some unsavory people into finding out too much about us.

Barbie Cummings says she not a victim, trooper blowjob voluntary

Whoa, when I saw a news story talking about how this porn chic Barbie Cummings got out of a ticket and drug charge by giving a state trooper some sexual favors, I was like wow, the power of the internet. This girls does the dirty deed, makes a blog post, and then the story breaks and the trooper is fired.

The I find blog post about his “Barbie” girl saying she was not a victim, and how she sucked the troopers cock willingly. I was suprised to hear her say that if she went to court she would not complain about sucking dick to get out of a ticket. What is even more surprising is that now several other women have come out with complaints about the same state trooper. Isn’t this a fucked up society we live in, where apparently many women have had issues with a public figure, yet no one speaks out about it until a big story is made by someone else? What kind of culture do we have? Are there thousands f women out there that have been harrassed and used in ways that keep them in fear of speaking out about it? I guess so it seems.

Barbie is apparently the same girl that says she was not a victim when she was gang fucked at a party when she was 15 years old and drunk. This could spark some interesting debate amongst scholars. I am sure there could be arguments going either way, I guess the only way we would really know is if we knew how aware and mature she really was at 15.
