Oh interwebz, I love how everything is dominated by porn. Since it is February and love flourishes during the month, how about something new. I want you to meet Darteros, which will spring to life this month.

Darteros was looking to fill the final voids by recruiting adult performers to sign on as founding sponsors for the venture capital backed project. Darteros is looking to integrate with Facebook and Twitter, so that a single post will update all simultaneously.

Project chief Fabio Salvadori said, “We felt that Twitter has some limits when it comes to straightforward adult socialization, while micro-blogging by its nature is perfect for dating more than it is for just keeping in touch with friends. Darteros, not only will allow regular users to socialize among each other for dating purposes, but it will also offer adult performers a really efficient tool to target prospects and to increase their fan base.”

So now with my Darteros and SpankMo Mobile, the world will be able to celebrate Valentines one hand at a time.

Bare Ass-ed Busted

Welcome to Iowa, where posting pictures of yourself on Myspace and Facebook, just may lead you to the unemployment line. Abigail Keller, 27, an Altoona reserve police officer was just another in a string of people fired for “questionable” material posted online.

Keller resigned from her position in February after a local business man gave another police officer print outs from her MySpace page. She was in her fifth month of service for the Altoona department after spending three years as a volunteer officer, when the photos surfaced.

Police Chief John Gray said the photograph’s on Keller’s page depicted her in a bar surround by male and female patrons. He said, “In one photograph, she is displaying her naked buttocks or mooning the person who is taking the picture. In another, she is performing simulated sex acts on both males and females.”

Administrative Law Judge Debra L. Wise asked Keller whether she had posted such a photo to her site during a hearing for her unemployment benefits. Keller said that she didn’t post a photo of her with her “buttocks” exposed, but pictures of her “making kissy faces.”

Gray of course disputed the claim of the “naked buttocks” photo’s, because he happens to have a copy of the photo. Gray actually said, “You’re pulling your pants down. Your naked buttocks are showing.”

Keller said that the pictures were posted back in 2005, months before she was a volunteer officer and she thought the site was restricted. Gray was concerned due to other photographs with Keller in Police uniform and that these other photos would be linked to the Altoona department.

Judge Wise wrote in her ruling of the unemployment benefits, “In this technology age, she used poor judgment when she posted these pictures in albums on her social-network pages and naively believed no one but close personal friends could access these pictures.”

Overdue Library Book… Off To Jail

Killeen, Texas is the home of fugitive Victoria Rogers, 21. She has been wanted by the authorities since January 2009 and a warrant for her arrest has been issued.

She says that she wishes she could change the past, but out of fear of being hauled in on the outstanding warrant, she refuses to drive or apply for a job. If she only had returned that darn local library book to the Killeen Public Library, there wouldn’t be an issue.

Rogers said, “I apologized and said I didn’t mean to. I was floored, I couldn’t believe a warrant for a library book.”

Her warrant was issued as a class C misdemeanor. She say that she offered to pay for the book, but the city says it’s too late. The library has records of multiple messages being mailed out and then turned the case over to the city. Her penalty for one over due book… A date in court and a $340 fine. That’s one expensive ass book!

In The Navy!

Welcome to the land down under, Australia. Home of awesome spots like the Sydney Opera House and The Great Barrier Reef, is now how to some sailor scandal.

The Defence Department is investigating claims of Australian sailors engaging in a money for sex competition. Local news station Channel Seven News aired claims that sailors from the HMAS Success ran a contest of who could sleep with the most female crew members.

The sailors kept records in a book they called, “The Ledger.” They assigned a cash value on each of the individual female crew members. They even went as far as too step up the game by making the location where the sex took place as part of the game. Pool Tables and lesbians weren’t off limits, they were encouraged.

“The matter concerning sailors who were returned to Australia from HMAS Success in May 2009 remains under investigation, so the veracity of any allegations has yet to be confirmed,” Defence said in a statement to the Seven Network.

“The individuals were removed from the ship after an equity and diversity health check, which led to a formal inquiry being initiated. During the equity and diversity health check a number of concerns were raised by female crew members. These concerns are now subject to formal inquiry.”

By now most people have heard of the American Girl who saved a 16 year old british boys life, due to messages sent via Facebook.The young hero actually talked to her mother about what was going on and they called the White House and the British Embassy. If the reporting of plane crashes and earthquakes aren’t a good enough reason, this seals the fact that social media’s impact peoples lives greatly.

The British Have It Best

Brewers that “represent the best of British Beers,” have called for a National Beer Day. Over 200 MP’s have backed the campaigned labeled, “Save the great British Pub.”

Bob Russel called for a motion on the government to adopt a five point plan to save the British pub. He states that the traditional pubs are being outpriced by supermarkets, without the restrictions required by licensees of pubs.

Russel states that five pubs are day are closing down in the UK everyday. Beer sales are at their lowest level for nearly 40 years. He even said that the planned tax increases, “will place traditional public houses at even greater risk of closing down”.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

The Wisconsin state capital building in Madison was forced to evacuate as a precaution, due to a stolen plane flying through that section of the state.

Federal and Military officials said that the stolen plane was Cessna 172, was taken at the Thunder Bay Airport, Ontario. It was forced to land after being trailed by 2 fighter jets. The plane landed on a section of U.S. highway 60. The pilot fled on foot after landing the Cessna, but was taken into custody after a short time.

The pilot refused communication with authorities through the entire flight. The pilot was a student at the Confederated College Flight School at Thunder Bay International Airport. The plane was stolen around 2:30 p.m. from the school.

“We don’t know what the motive is. I wouldn’t want to speculate on that. We are treating this with the utmost seriousness,” said Mike Kucharek, spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado, while the flight was still under way.

The Curves of the World

Welcome to East High school located in Denver, Colorado. A geography class accidentally got a lesson in the geography of the human body.

A substitute teacher was looking to find a movie the class was supposed to be watching on Thursday, but found a pornographic film instead.

“A substitute teacher was having difficulty opening a computer presentation that was supposed to be shown to the class. While opening what was thought to be the correct file, a pornographic movie started to show on the screen of the computer. The movie was on the computer screen for just a few seconds,” Principal John Youngquist said in a letter sent to all parents.

The advanced placement class had a total of 23 students and a mix of freshmen and sophomores. Luckily, only 6 students saw the film, because the teacher had yet to turn on the overhead projector.

The Denver Public School District is investigating the incident. They are not sure what action will be taken after the review and wasn’t sure if the regular teacher was back to work on Friday.

Teens Unleashing the Phoenix from Axe Body Sprays

Staying in the great state of Colorado, we turn to Lakewood. Apparently, firefighters are disturbed by a rising trend of homemade flamethrowers.

“We’ve had a dozen young people charged with various arson crimes in the last month and all involved Axe Body Spray,” said Cindy Matthews of West Metro Fire.

The fire department has started asking parents and teachers to caution youngsters and ignore the 200+ videos on Youtube, showing the mini-flamethrowers being ignited.

“Nearly a dozen young people are facing a range of charges after using the popular teenage cologne to set things on fire, including themselves,” stated a news release from the fire department.

Axe has put out a video warning users to “use Axe responsibly.” They are hoping their video can detour kids from causing another incident like back in 2007. Two kids were playing with the body spray flamethrower, and one suffered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns on his body and face.

Tuesdays are the sad day of the week. They really don’t have much going for them, except that they tend to be more destructive than the Plague. Tuesday we get to hear about the destruction that Mondays make. Now, it’s time for the stories from the wonderful world of the interwebz.

Story #1: Coach Micah Grimes was fired after his team lit up another school by a score of 100-0. The reason for the firing wasn’t because they gloated or celebrated and rubbed the victor in the faces of the opponents. It was for not apologizing for the defeat. To think that a coach had told him team to go out and do the best they can and win, only to be told to apologize for the defeat. Covenant School, posted a statement regretting the outcome of the blow out, “It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened. This clearly does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition,” said the statement, signed by board chair Todd Doshier. The Dallas Academy has remained winless during the last four seasons. The academy specializes in teaching students struggling with “learning differences,” such as short attention spans or dyslexia.

My opinion on the situation is to turn around and apologize about a victory and fire the coach for being “Non Christ like,” doesn’t mean to belittle these kids and treat then differently, because I’m sure they wanted to be treated like equals.

Story #2: According to researchers from Harvard University and the University of California, San Diego, have found that our place in a social network is influenced by our genes. They go on to say that part of the genetic pattern is for human connection and help direct us on how to build our social groups. “I think that going forward, we are going to find that social networks are a critical conduit between our genes and important health outcomes,” says James Fowler.

Oh happy Friday. The internet never fails to share the epic, odd, and fails of the interwebz. This maybe a multiple post Friday with all the stories that need light shined upon them. So let us jump right into the stories.

Story 1:

Edward Richardson killed his wife Sarah in her parents home back on May 12th of 2008. He was charged and found guilty for her murder. After he killed his wife, he attempted to take his own life. The Crown Prosecution says that, “Richardson became enraged when Sarah changed her marital status on Facebook to single and decided to go and see her as she was not responding to his messages.”

Story 2:

The wonderful company Chrysler just received $4 Billion in bailout cash from the US government, decided that the best way to spend this money is to advertise their product in the upcoming Terminator 4 movie. Rather than taking the money (that we are going to end up paying in taxes down the road), and investing in new technologies and design that will make it easier on the environment and the consumers wallets. Apparently, after having to cut 36% of its staff to its lowest level since 1934 wasn’t a sign of what direction to go with the money, but failing after the money squandered in a movie will hopefully be a wakeup call. Yet, they are going to try and apply for another 3 billion in bailout moneys provided by the government.
