The Art of Facebook Stalking!

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 – running time 39:07

More episodes:

In honor of Lionel Richie's new tune, "Pants on the Ceiling," this week we discuss what happens when you microwave boxed wine, how you can get arrested for recording a crime scene, the Leno vs. Conan drama, the new iPhone payment system - Square, and the undeniable art of Facebook stalking!

What Happens When You Microwave Boxed Wine?

Haven't you always been curious? Many sleepless nights wondering what would happen if you nuked your favorite flavor of boxed wine? Well, even if that's not the case, you have to see this... it's pretty ridiculous.

Police Begin To Arrest For Cell Phone Recordings

"Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he saw three police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager’s mouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled out his cellphone and began recording. Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs." Apparently recording a scene of arrest is causing harm and interfering with the cop's job at ensuring our safety. We disagree; how can surveillance hurt a situation like that? What do you think?

Facebook Records Every Click You Make

We discuss the anonymous interview that The Rumpus had with a Facebook employee regarding the string of information that they keep on file. They used to have a master key to log into any user and the password was... wait for it... Chuck Norris.
