Shoulda Been a Direct Message?

Here’s one I saw on Twitter user @lokay’s feed. Looks like someone at the MBTA Transit Police was a little too fired up for the New England Patriots game, sending a public message rather than a Twitter direct message. Dude, use texting or personal email!

The Greatest Football Swears Caught on Live TV

Tedy Bruschi swearingThere’s nothing better when swears make their way onto live TV during football games. American regulatory agencies (FCC) shit bricks over words that the general public uses all the time – I wish the USA had a more liberal stance on swearing like the United Kingdom does. You can ask Howard Stern his opinion of the FCC.

Well, since today is Sunday and I have 3 more hours until the New England Patriots game airs, I found myself searching YouTube for Patriots videos, coming across a ton of swear videos. Consider this a round-up of the best football swears that made their way onto TV.

Netflix Kills Qwikster in a Hurry

Netflix Kills QwiksterThat was quick. Netflix backtracked on their plan to split their services into two companies. Netflix would have been a streaming company while Qwikster would be a DVD-mailing service. After a slew of customer complaints, CEO Reed Hastings said they would not be going this route after all. No one wants to pay more money across two services that should be tied in to one company. The DVD mailings and the online streaming is definitely Netflix’s differentiator. No other company does it.

Netflix has lost 1 million customers since the original Qwikster announcement. Tony Wible, an analyst with Janney Capital Markets says: “Basically, these guys are desperate, and this confirms it. While this move doesn’t solve the company’s long-term issues, in the interim, at least it can try to accelerate some positive catalysts for customers and its stock price.”

Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day kicked off Southwest Flight for Saggy Pants

Billie Joe Armstrong, the singer of Green Day, was kicked off a Southwest flight on September 1 because his pants were sagging too low. A flight attendant repeatedly asked BJ to pull his pants up. According to a TV producer for ABC 7 in San Francisco who was on board, BJ apparently said things like:

“Don’t you have better things to do then worry about that?” and “I’m just trying to get to my f**king seat.” 

I guess he has a point but dude, pull up your pants! You’re not 16. After he was booted, BJ sent out this tweet on his official Twitter account.
