YouTube Divorcee Loses Case

Back when the above video started circulating, we all pretty much agreed that the YouTube divorcee seemed out of her mind. Well, the judge in her case agrees, and has found her guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment. He called the video: "a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband."

Now she has to make do with what she was due according to the prenup, which means she has to clear out of their fancy apartment. In this era of reality-TV malice, isn't it refreshing when emotional cruelty isn't rewarded?

Tricia Walsh Smith made a YouTube video complaining about her husband's attempt to throw her out of their apartment (and about their sex life, among other things). It got three million viewers and has now scored her an interview on Good Morning America.

On the show, she explains her reason for posting the video: "I wanted attention to my plight . . . basically for me it was a life or death situation." She paints herself as the most wronged woman in history, saying, "What was I going to do? Go live in the park?" and "I did it for survival," and "I'm hurt and nobody cared!"

In case you missed it last Sunday was Mothers Day. Jon Stewart jokingly reports on the four candidates that are bad sons. I have to correct Jon here turns out McCain's 95 year old mother was with him during his interview.
All kidding aside this is a great opportunity for you to learn about some of the Presidential Candidates.

Soldiers denied access to YouTube - Press Association
May 14 2007
Gen Bell said: "This recreational traffic impacts our official DoD network and bandwidth ability, while posing a significant operational security challenge".



I subscribe to George Stroumboulopoulos youtube channel and today while perusing his videos from his CBC program "The Hour". I came across this interview with Myspace.com creator Tom Anderson. My brows raised when I heard that Myspace along with a handful of other websites were being censored to anybody using department of defence computers, it appears they have stressed their bandwidth? The Young Turks asked "What Could $456 Billion buy?"... I would say maybe a better computer system, one that functions better then my cheap laptop.



The Search Engine Journal gives a list of all the sites that were banned. I couldn't help but to notice All the sites that are banned have internet twins, it's like banning your soldiers from drinking coke but telling them Pepsi is OK.

Twins - Banned ---> Not Banned
So if your scratching your head about what that decision will accomplish in the end, I'm sure your not alone. This next story might make you scratch your head even more. My friend Jon here will explain.



Don't like Jon? Here is a BBC article from last week. So in the same way that I subscribe to "The Hour" , you can subscribe to a channel presented by the American Military. it's gotten over 3,000 subscribers in just over a week.

Here is one of the Iraq war scenes your military doesn't want your military to watch. As presented by MNF Iraq.
Multi-National Force - Iraq established this YouTube channel to give viewers around the world a "boots on the ground" perspective of Operation Iraqi Freedom from those who are fighting it.
