That’s not NEARLY as invasive as this probe cam (click to see recent footage) they keep sending to my house.
Before I start my rant, let me point to a copy of the YouTube video featuring Falcon “Balloon Boy” Heene and family (as seen on Wifeswap). I suspect you may be seeking that. In my opinion, today Twitter became CNN (in the same way CNN’s coverage of Jessica McClure put it on the map). In…
Oh sure. It’s vogue to slam poor little Fred. But you know damned well this little Christmas Cash music video will have you singing the refrain just like iJustine’s dad. Try to resist it, and it will tempt you all the more. For your convenience, I’m linking to the refrain to save you the 1:00…

Is there a way to have your data removed?
