And You Say There Is No Justice
No less than Bill Gates himself suffered the pain of computer crashes as he his own self was giving a demonstration. In the story below, the stuff of guffaws, Gates endures the failure of his communication equipment and later another presenter got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!
It could be a situation comedy.

Microsoft's Gates endures PC crash during keynote speech at U.S. tech show.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Despite suffering through an embarrassing computer crash that prompted jokes and guffaws, Bill Gates promised that Microsoft Corp. would help consumers stay plugged into technology, during a keynote speech Wednesday.
During a demonstration of digital photography with a soon-to-be-released Nikon camera, a Windows Media Center PC froze and wouldn't respond to Gates'pushing of the remote control.
Later in the 90-minute presentation, a product manager demonstrated the ostensible user-friendliness of a video game expected to hit retail stores in April, Forza Motor Sport. But instead of configuring a custom-designed race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded "blue screen of death" and warned, "out of system memory."
Teddy Bears Offend the Crazy
Now the cuddly teddy bear has come under attack for being politically incorrect.
Seems the Vermont Teddy Bear company got it into its head to design a cute teddy all wrapped in a straight jacket. The love note attached tells the recipient that the sender is "crazy about you".
Offending the Insane
Awwwwwww.
So it's cute.
But it offends those of us who must wear straight jackets on a daily basis. Indeed the mentally ill amongst us, evidently sane enough to be offended, have taken exception to this, -well what is it, a mockery?-, of their condition.
Not to fear, The Vermont Teddy Bear will manufacture on. After all, how damn many teddy bears do crazy people buy?

The Vermont Teddy Bear Co. will continue to sell a bear wearing a straitjacket through Valentine's Day, despite opposition by the state's mental health

Brad and Jen Lovers, There's Still Hope
From the SFGATE, we have this:
One family friend tells People magazine, "They didn't want people to think the separation is a bad thing.
"The decision was good for them. They're getting along. They really care about each other."
The speculation about a possible reconciliation has been fueled by the fact that neither Pitt nor Aniston has visited a divorce lawyer to discuss a permanent split.
They still care for one another, neither's yet visited a divorce lawyer and they're still living together. I am just so relieved.
From the NYPost:
ASKED: What Hollywood hunk is the star of pictures bouncing around the Internet, taken at a football game two weeks ago, of him stoned out of his noodle?
GUESSED ...this could be Matthew McConaughey

ASKED: Which reality-show goodie two-shoes has a nasty divorce in her past that includes videotaped evidence of her having an affair with the kids'soccer coach?
GUESSED: Mindy Page Davis?

Prince Harry…What Were You Thinking?
The son of Diana and Charles wore himself a handsome Nazi outfit to a recent costume party and all of Britain is aghast.
Well it was pretty stupid though the young princeling did, ahem, apologize:
"I am sorry if I cause any offence or embarrassment to anyone," said Harry in the statement released late Wednesday.
"It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise."
The Wise I thinks it’s quite a hoot. No not the costume. It really WAS a dumb choice. Imagine if one of the Bush boys, say Jeb’s son, showed up at a costume party dressed as Osama Bin Laden.
The hoot comes from the utter reaction of total and complete despair of the British public. They do not think the young prince should just apologize. They think he should be drawn, quartered and have his blood spill endlessly in Picadilly Square.
He’s a kid and he does stupid things.
It’s a rite of passage. And yes, royal children have even more pressure on them NOT to do stupid things.
Anybody whose child hasn’t done a dumb thing raise their hand.
See, the air is completely empty of raised hands.
