Dumb

Facebook can help you ruin one child's life. It's a stupid gimmick. Anybody who really does this, which wouldn't surprse me, is a moron.

Entertainment

Moviegoer stabbed in the throat after complaining about cellphone user during SHUTTER ISLAND screening. See, I'm of the opinion that people using cell phones in the theater are the ones who should be stabbed in the throat. Other people are why I rarely go to see movies in theaters anymore.

Corey Haim dies of overdose. Bummer. Sure his career hit the skids and he was kinda douchey on that reality show he had a few years back, but as a kid of the 80's there's a nostalgia factor for me. My favorite movie of his was LICENSE TO DRIVE. In fact, about a month before he died, my brother and I re-watched the movie for the first time since it's cable heyday in the 80's.

The last season of 24? If it is, it'd be a mercy killing.

Syfy puts Felicia Day in her own fairy tale. A modern day twist on LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, where she hunts werewolves. I might actually watch that.

THE IT CROWD heads up Channel 4's spring comedy slate. New episodes are supposed to start in June.

Video Games

NBC announces BATTLESTAR GALACTICA MMO. Not for me, but some of you may be interested.

BODYCOUNT designer: BLACK 2 was in development, “bit the dust” soon after. I remember BLACK being really hyped up and being a pretty average game.

Tech

Piracy rises in France despite three strikes law. So not only are three strikes laws stupid, they're ineffectual as well!

Anti-data caps rep resigns from Congress today. The one guy against stupid bandwidth caps and he quits?

Overwhelming majority of EU parliament votes against ACTA. I'm actually surprised, and pleased, to read this.
