Companies ripping off small time artists that have gone viral seems to be increasing.

H&M isn’t the first and certainly not the worst, but they’re learning quickly that the Internet doesn’t take kindly to such acts.

Hackers are somehow managing to ban BF3 players on the PC

This man would require that rape victims carry their pregnancy to term regardless of what it does to the her, but when his own wife’s life was threatened by a pregnancy gone wrong he had her get an abortion.

It appears the Far Right fringe is literally starting to go insane
