Jiffy Pop, Inc today announced a new product line of Jiffy Pop Fire Alarams.
“We are marketing strictly in the southern United States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas”, said Jiffy Pop spokesperson, Anita Medley. “People in this region are generally known to be a ‘bit backwards’ and our inexpensive new use for an old product is also very helpful. You can’t pay too little for peace of mind when we are talking about fire.”
Fire safety expert Roanald Barker claims that the likelyhood of the new Jiffy Pop fire alarm doing the job it is designed for is astronomically high. “When this device gets hot, you start to hear a popping sound, similar to small gun shots. We southern hicks recognize gunshots very easily and we have small houses so the sound travels good.”
China’s Olympic games opening ceremonies witnessed the dreaded “Blue Screen of Death”, or BSOD this past Friday.
“It was terrifying!”, said witness, Hong Bo. “We literally thought that the world was ending.”
“The terrorist attack was abutted before it was able to get any further”, a China National Police spokesman said on Saturday. “The attack lasted for just over an hour before we were able to destroy the intruders.”
We contacted a noted computer specialist, S. Bauer, who said that “Like any Windows admin knows, this was a serious blow to the Chinese infrastructure. If it would was successful, it could have disabled every computer attached to the internet in such a way as to make it look like China killed them.” Bauer went on to say “The only question I have is why didn’t the operator notice that the Windows startup bar was running sluggish? That is the first thing any good admin will see as evidence of a problem.”
There you have it folks. It looks like a major internet disaster was stopped just short of happening.
Osama Bin Laden’s private camp, with private roads may be the second “city” to ask that street images be removed.
“You can look at almost anything on Google. Just don’t try to take a look at my private community”, says Bin Laden. “I would like to have my right to privacy!”.
Bin Laden’s camp has demanded that Google Maps remove images of his cave complex from the website’s Street View feature, where any Internet user can catch a glimpse of them from the nearest road.
Since the introduction of Google Maps’ Street View in the spring of 2007, the feature has caused controversy in several cities and with the U.S. federal government. The Pentagon banned Google Maps from taking any images of military facilities, and a Pittsburgh couple sued the company over images of their home taken from the private road in front of their house. North Oaks was the first city to ask Google to remove street images.
It is unknown if Google has shared the information on the whereabouts of Bin Laden with any members of the military.
