MySpace is finally infiltrated by Rupert Murdoch's political bumchums
Observe the 'Cool New People' portion of MySpace's front page. Keep hitting refresh. Notice anything weird?
It would seem that if you log in fairly regularly, you'll see something a little off-key.
Firstly, there are politicians in the 'Cool New People' box. Secondly, they are posing as 'cool' and 'people'. Thirdly, they seem to breaking the rules somewhat as the same ones will reappear in that box a day or two after. Just like past elections, it seems this little box has been 'rigged'.
Surely this is a bug? There's no way the same person would pop up twice on what is supposed to be an area highlighting new people who've just signed up? Could it be a bunch of politicians calling in favours to Mr Murdoch? Quite possibly. He does "buy things to run things" and has been known to push political agendas in the past.
Here's a bunch of screengrabs from varied visits across last week. Notice how some of these creatures pop-up multiple times:

A forum called NeoGaf decided to put up a fake press release about 'Metal Gear: Triology'.

IGN then put up a story (now taken down). Here's a screencap of the story before IGN realised how shit it is / they are:

Note to EA: It's this kind of thing that makes everyone hate you guys
I mean aside from the privacy policy shadiness, over-exploitation of franchises and super-exploitation of micro transactions. And the re-releasing of the Godfather game that should've never been made in the first place.
http://ea.gamespress.com/link.asp?i=725&r=7361&r2=5222
Some of my favourite moments in this press release:
...Now you can chat up specific characters to get the skinny on dirty cops, take down two additional revised compounds of rival Families, execute five new contract hits, and call in larger Corleone Hit Squads when the going gets tough.For improved, hyper-intuitive Blackhand Control in The Godfather Blackhand Edition, use gesture with the Wii-mote and Nunckuck to really beat down your opposition, or point directly at the screen using the Wii-mote for pinpoint firearm accuracy.
Did these guys even WATCH the Godfather 1 or 2? For fuck's sake. If Ford Coppolla was in his grave right now, he'd be doing pirouettes in it. Damn you EA for soiling one of the greatest movies ever made. DAMN. YOU.
Oh shit: U.S Army crashes party in Iran. World doomed
"Hi guys building Nuke tech. Mind if we piss you off by storming one of your important buildings? You do? Well shit. Sorry about that."
More *amazing* Sony Lies
They released a press release saying they won an Emmy for the Sixaxis controller. Luckily, some people who actually practice 'journalism' checked out the claim. It turns it it was a bold-faced LIE. Another one. How far does this company wish to mislead the public? Note to Sony; FIRE your U.S PRs.

They tried to do the old 'set up a meeting before the first significant payment is made and renegotiate the deal in a "we can't do this unless..." manner'. It's a shady poker play and their bluff got called. Ha, fucking HA.
Though sadly, it also means no Halo movie till they can get a new deal on the table from elsewhere.

Bush quadruple whammy of shame!
First, your American tax dollars send the secret service round to a 14 year old girl's house, after she posted anti-Bush statements on her MySpace page.
WHOA: AMERICA MORE LIKE V FOR VENDETTA THAN I THOUGHT >>>
Second, Bush has JUST SIGNED a law that allows the U.S to TORTURE TERROR SUSPECTS. That means if they want to torture you for putting some crap up on a MySpace page, they probably can. The word 'suspect' is open to much interpretation nowadays...
UN-FUCKING BELIEVABLE >>>
Third, a Nurse is given a ticket for an Anti-Bush sticker. Brilliant. Anyone got any design gigs in Australia?
FREEDOM OF SPEECH = IN THE SHITTER >>>
Finally, Bush is caught changing his story behind the invasion of Iraq. Amazing.

Hugo Chavez: PATRON SAINT OF AWESOME
"President Bush is the Devil. I can still smell the Suplhur". And then Hugo Chavez launches into possibly the most intelligent public breakdown of the comic dictatorship led by the Bush Administration.
I've never heard anyone break down the fucked up-ness of Bush's highly dishonourable reign quite like this gentleman has. He even takes the time to recommend some Noam Chomsky literature to the folk seated at the U.N.
Who wants to wager that the FOX TV / CNN / ABC scumbags will start digging up dirt on him? If he ends up in a 'car accident' in the next year or so, I guess we can all be unsurpised. The size of this man's balls are truly inspirational.
