Nothing better to do?
The economy's going down the toilet and they're spunking their time away on "celebrity offends other celebrity"? God almighty!
No IT angle but...
Arse antlers has to be my favourite new phrase of the last few years.
Nothing new
As long as 10 years ago I read the advice to register common mis-spellings of your site's URL (e.g. atomz.com used to have atomx.com registered although checking now I see they allowed that one to lapse)
Downrigh Bizarre
