Since early this morning, the AT&T Company Website has been down. As of 9:30am, it is still down.

Update (10:02am): The site is back…somewhat. Only “My AT&T Yahoo!” though.

On account of AT&T being a sorry excuse for a telcom company, this makes me very happy. However, many others are not so happy, particularly because this means that their email and other account features are all unavailable.

You can read why I think AT&T is the worst company ever here.

AT&T is the second largest wireless operator in the US (by subscribers), topped only by Verizon. Subscriptions have been rising in the past months as well, so we’ll have to watch and see what this little “hiccup” does to that trend.

Apparently, this was a popular weekend for creating death rumors about celebrities. Rumors were created for both Miley Cyrus and later Taylor Swift. Both are alive however, so you can put away your hankerchiefs.

Interestingly enough however, the country singer did recently play a role in CSI: Las Vegas in which she was stabbed and murdered. This could possibly explain some of the confusion.

While this is all nice, it does leave a greater question unanswered: why create rumors of people being dead when you don’t know what you’re talking about? It happens way too often.

Oh well.

In a recent episode, the South Park authors have attempted to redefine the word “Fag,” which has traditionally been a slur against homosexuals, to what the word is more commonly used to refer to – “an inconsiderate douchebag [like a harley rider],” according to the animation.

“You can be gay and not be a fag…a lot of fags aren’t gay.”
