You call this progress?

Holamigo,

A news flash from the political incorrectness files. The Daily Tube sez: "With unemployment at a record high and layoffs increasing everywhere around you, it should be something of a relief to sweatshop workers that their employers have actually invested into a technology that will help them keep their jobs."

Graham talks social networking
A reminder of why you maybe should be afraid to go on Facebook. Painfully close to reality for some.

The 20 Most Terrifying Pictures of Ronald McDonald Ever
And finally, something a little scary. In the author/poster's own words: "What inspired me to write this post? Well, I was trying to search for a shot of Heath Ledger's Joker that I hadn't seen a million times and this came up. Yup, haven't seen that before. And that got me thinking about a long-held childhood fear, that Ronald McDonald is pretty damn creepy. He shook my hand in a parade once and I've never been the same since." Ready to be afraid and/or amused?
