Led Zeppelin reunion gig

September 13th, 2007 | Category: Music, Technology

What a farce the whole thing is. The website which you are sent to enter a contest to win the right to pay 125 for a ticket has spelling errors. Add to this the fact the page barely functions and has yet to do so for me without crashing to the frustration since the announcement. Surely the people organising this gig would have realised its popularity. Having a site incapable of handling the server load is both unfair and incompetent. The f***wit who programmed and organised the page should be sacked.

Its a bloody disgrace.

Update: not surprisingly the deadline for registration has been extended. That might have something to do with the site meltdown and the fact it was unreachable for quite a long time.

A Man Of His Word

September 13th, 2007 | Category: Crime

The Smoking Gun:

Meet Carlton Davis. The Minnesota man, 26, is facing felony charges for allegedly stealing a cell phone and purse from a woman he mugged on a St. Paul street early Saturday morning. According to police, after the woman turned over her belongings, Davis announced, “Now I’m going to suck your feet.” Which he did, after the 24-year-old victim removed her shoes. Davis, who fled when passersby approached, was apprehended by cops a few blocks from the crime scene. He was booked into the Ramsey County lockup, where the below mug shot was snapped.

I had to dump the picture into Photoshop to lighten it up. The original at The Smoking Gun is so dark that you can barely make out his eyes.

Funniest line goes to a commenter at Fark:

Damn, you gotta hold back a bit. You sucked yourself crosseyed.
