Conservative Firebrand Ann Coulter Tweets that Obama is a ‘Retard’ — Is She?
Ann Coulter called President Obama a “retard” on Twitter? I love when stories like this come down the pipeline because it gives me a chance to shoehorn in my own some-might-say “naturally contrarian” opinion.Being an alleged contrarian, of course, I would naturally disagree with that assessment. Basically, what happened was this: On Monday night, after [...]
Twitter Too Free For Your Liking? Give New Microblogging Site Pheed A Try …
Have you ever been reading Ashley Tisdale’s latest philosophical musing on Twitter only to suddenly exclaim, “Hey! I don’t deserve to read this for free. I wish Ashley could find some way to charge me for this wealth of learning she has bestowed upon me.” Good news to both you and Ashley Tisdale, because now [...]
Twitter to Debut Its Own Original Video Programming ‘EpicEDM’
Earlier this month, NMR discussed how Twitter might start its own video-hosting service as part of its makeover as a multimedia-friendly platform. Plans to host videos came after Twitter introduced website changes like header photos, which are similar to Facebook’s video cover. Video-hosting on Twitter will soon become a reality. Not only will Twitter host [...]
Twitter Finally Uses Censorship Tool — And How You Can Bypass It
In the past, many countries have tried to pressure social media channels like Twitter and Facebook into blocking so-called “hate speech” on their sites. The calls for censorship were louder than ever after the recent “Innocence of Muslims” video sparked violent demonstrations in the Muslim world. Twitter announced in January that it had the technology [...]
Romney’s #BindersFullofWomen Sparks Meme Explosion [GALLERY]
And Romney does it again, and this time, with his handy dandy notebook. With America only recently recovering from Romney’s Big Bird threats, last night’s debate did little to calm our nerves as we found out that if elected, Romney will be keeping “binders of women” around the White House. In response to an audience [...]
The Chive, Kim Kardashian Get Pwned By the ‘Ol’ Fake Cripple On Twitter’ Scam
I typically like The Chive. They have a huge support community, they post funny/sexy/random photos, and they all seem like pretty good guys. But recently, they maybe got a little too Jesus-y, and sweet lady fate had to swat their balls. “Dave on Wheels” was one of those Twitter account tropes that seemed a little [...]
R.I.P. ‘Gangnam Style’: The Official Obituary
Hear ye, hear ye! Let it be known that on this date, October 9th, 2012, we mourn the passing of “Gangnam Style.” May it quietly be forgotten, and not bandied about on the Disney Channel in endless rotation, enduring the same fate as previous “fad” songs, “Whoomp, There It Is!” and “Who Let The Dogs [...]
Twitter Developing Its Own Video-Hosting Service?
Twitter is considering creating video-hosting capabilities so that its users can upload their videos directly to the site, according to All Things Digital. This means that Twitter users will no longer need to use third-party applications such as TwitVid and yFrog. If Twitter goes through with creating their own video-hosting technology, third-party video applications could [...]
‘Lady Gag-a’? Gaga Vomits Like A Pro, Then On With the Show [VIDEO]
Everybody has a secret fetish, I think, and mine just might be pop stars vomiting on stage. It isn’t that I wish illness on anyone in particular (mostly), it’s just that natural performers add a dimension of theatricality to their bouts of barfing. They almost make it seem like it’s a part of the show. [...]
‘Eminem’s Daughter’ Twitter ‘Hoax’ is Just Creepy
Everybody wants to be famous, but while most people want to see their own name up in lights, others seek that fame by becoming somebody else. It’s as the literary character Tom Ripley says: “It’s better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.” Of course, he turned out to be a murderer.On Twitter, [...]
