NFL Quarterbacks To Participate in XXX Church Event
1 FebNFL Quarterbacks Matt Hasselbeck and Jon Kitna will spend Super Bowl Sunday leading a crusade against internet pornography, as part of a day called “National Porn Sunday.”
They will advocate on behalf of an organization called XXX Church, which pledges to help people dealing with pornography addiction. Hasselbeck swears he has never had a problem with pornography, but has still signed up for the church’s X3watch service.
“If I go to a site that’s questionable, a teammate gets an email and my wife gets an email,” Hasselbeck told CNN. “I thought about adding my mom too but decided against that.”
Pastor Craig Gross runs the program, and says he started the program in early 2000s after meeting dozens of teens dealing with addiction to internet pornography. Through his work, Gross has made efforts to reach out to the pornography community. He says that the Bible tells him that pornography is a “sexual sin.”
Through his outreach efforts, Gross made an unlikely friend: adult film superstar Ron Jeremy.
“If you’re a really religious Christian and you follow the letter of the law with the bible, you should not watch porn – I agree with Craig on that one,” Jeremy said. “I like what Craig does. He tries to keep people out who don’t belong in porn and don’t belong watching porn. It’s not healthy for them – maybe they’re getting addicted to it.”

Chilean President Makes Emergency Landing After Helicopter Runs Out of Fuel
1 Feb
President of Chile Sebastian Pinera made an unscheduled, emergency landing, by himself after his helicopter ran out of fuel. Pinera, who gained international attention during the rescue of the Chilean miners in 2010, landed his helicopter on a busy, public highway near Cobquecura. Once the helicopter landed, Pinera asked local people where he was and requested that a police helicopter bring him additional fuel.
Pinera has been a pilot for five years, and vows to continue flying until his license runs out. Members of the opposition condemned his actions as irresposible.
“It cannot be possible that Mr Pinera, even though he is president, can land wherever in the country, putting people’s safety at risk,” said Gabriel Asencio of the opposition Christian Democrats to the BBC.
Introducing the Tumbeasts
31 JanThe Internet is a crazy place. For the latest example, look at the story of Matthew Inman, creator of the popular web comic “The Oatmeal.” Last week, coinciding with the timing of President Obama’s “State of the Union” address, Inman published his “State of the Web” comic (hilarious, by the way). In one of the panels, he references the infamous day that Tumblr went down for more than 12 hours, robbing thousands of bloggers of the ability to update their sites.
He suggests blaming future outages on an imaginary animal like Twitter has previously done with the “Fail Whale.” His suggests adopting his newest creation, the TumblBeasts, as the face for future outages.
Four hours later, the head of Tumblr contacted about Inman about using the “animal” for the official 503 error page. Inman agreed, and Tumblr renamed them “Tumbeasts.” The story was picked up by national media. Today, he posted another comic, which both celebrates and pokes fun at his newest creation. Keep drawing dude!
Man Sues Facebook for $500K Because They Shut Down His Account
31 JanA Staten Island man claims that Facebook shut off access to his personal photos and his friends overseas when it closed his account for no reason. He asks for $500,000 and the restoration of his account in his lawsuit.
Mustafa Fteja, 39, had 340 friends on the site, which averages out to $1,470 per friend if his suit succeeds. An immigrant from Montenegro 19 years ago, Fteja claims that Facebook was one of his primary ways to communicate with them.
He told The New York Post, “I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this for justice. I know one thing — I didn’t do anything. I didn’t violate anything.” He claims to have contacted the company several times, but only received a form letter in response, claiming he violated the company’s user agreement.
