Relax everyone. Entenmann’s, everyone’s favorite pastry food item, is over-apologizing for an accidental tweet that used a popular #notguilty hash tag on Twitter. The hash tag was trending since people were using it to comment on the the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial. If you didn’t know (or get your news from reputable organizations), Casey Anthony was accused of killing her 2 year old daughter in Florida. Someone from Entenmann’s social media team posted the tweet and they have had to apologize a lot.

A powerful assault rifle was without supervision on the back of a Seattle police car. The Seattle Police Department says they’re very embarrassed. This got attention online after a citizen named Nick Gonzales posted a photo he took on the web. After taking the photo, he flagged down two bike cops to tell them about it and they were “shocked as hell”.
Protect and Serve.

I’m so glad I don’t need to take public transportation. Most the time it’s ok. But you can get caught in the middle of the weirdest stuff. People will get in fights, cut their toenails, scream, piss themselves, and so on. The latest incident I found online involved a woman (read: bitch) relentlessly screaming at a bus driver about music she’s playing. Thank god for smartphones so we can watch it all.

Unbeknownst to me, there is a large movement to redesign the US dollar. A favorite of mine and others is the Dowling Duncan effort which uses a vertical orientation. Why vertical? Most people deal with money in a vertical sense. The width of Duncan’s notes are the same as the existing US dollar, but the lengths vary across values, with the $100 dollar bill being longest. If you have a bunch of bills in your heand, you can easily sort by denomination. His themes are also awesome:

Hulu’s owners are putting the web site up for sale, hoping to rake in some cash from a mega–company like Yahoo, etc. For a while, it looked like Hulu could be a viable option for peeps who did not want to sign on with Netflix. Rumor has it that Jason Kilar (Hulu CEO) is rubbing Hulu backers (read: studio and network execs) the wrong way and tensions have been mounting.
I wonder if new management could make Hulu work. Everyone I know who purchases on demand media usually goes with Apple or Netflix, not Hulu Plus.

This rules. Some Southwest Airlines pilot broadcasted on the wrong frequency while flying. He managed to piss everyone off from gay flight attendants to fat women. Southwest suspended the pilot without pay, sent him to sensitivity training and required him to apologize. Flight attendants are not satisfied, though, and may sue Southwest.

Some electricians doing some wiring work for an in-ground pool installation recorded a crane (carrying the pool) as it smashed into a home’s garage, knocking out a chimney in the process. I don’t think the home owner was around. The video’s youtube description says the crane operator called him/her right away. Listen to the driver scream “God dammitt!! Arrrggg!”
Scrub to 2:01 to see the accident.

Three inflatable bouncy houses got caught up in some heavy wind and took flight with kids inside. It happened over the weekend in Oceanside, NY at a soccer club tournament. Parents were seen trying to keep the house bounce houses down, but they would just get flattened. 13 of the kids were injured and two parents who thought they could defy wind gusts were also hurt.

A Reddit user posted about a product they ordered – a Journey’s Edge Electronics iPod amp. Only, they expected it to be a bit bigger judging by the photo they use on their packaging…
