Charlie Harper is Dead

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 2nd, 2011

You can stop wondering – Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men is dead.

Deadlline.com reports Harper’s funeral will take place on the September 19th debut of the season. The funeral will be attended by Charlie’s many girlfriends, and Charlie’s house is put up for sale, which attracts many real life celebrity buyers.

Ashton Kutcher’s character will likely buy the house and somehow Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones stay in the picture.

How do you think Charlie dies? We think it will be a massive orgy that somehow causes a heart attack.

Fox News Twitter Hack Claims President Obama Assassinated

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 4th, 2011

Fox News Politics Twitter account was hacked this morning, and a Tweet was sent out claiming President Barack Obama was assassinated.

Gawker reports Fox acknowledges the hack but couldn’t access and remove the Tweets for hours. The Huffington Post reports a hacker group claimed responsibility for the hoax, with a link to their own Twitter account.

Fox News wrote in a statement that it “regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.”

So if they linked to their own Twitter account, doesn’t that suggest they can easily be identified, and arrested? There must be a ton of laws they broke from hacking a Twitter account, to falsifying reports that the President is dead.

Fake ‘Tupac’s Alive’ Story Posted on PBS Website

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 31st, 2011

A fake news story claiming that rapper Tupac is still alive was posted on PBS’ website on Monday, reports Billboard.

Hackers apparently got into the network’s website and posted a fake story claiming the dead rapper, full name Tupac Amaru Shakur, was alive in New Zealand.

Many still believe Tupac is still alive, refusing to believe he is dead, so obviously the story came with some major attention. Way to fuel the conspiracy theorists, hackers.

PBS confirmed Monday that the website had been hacked and the story was removed later that morning. It had been posted on the ‘PBS NewsHour’ program website.

The program later released a tweet, saying “If you missed it: our site has been accessed by hackers. Thanks for staying with us.”

The hackers is a group apparently called ‘LulzSec,’ or ‘The Lulz Boat’ on Twitter. The group claims they are responsible for the act, and even posted a video which taunts the network.

As much as I do not condone this kind of action, I must say, the hackers were smart in getting the attention of the public. There are so many conspiracy theorists out there who still believe Tupac is alive, so posting a story claiming he’s alive is one of the smartest things I’ve ever heard of. Not that I condone it.

New York Guy Makes $120k from Osama bin Laden Dead T-Shirts

Posted by andPOP Staff on May 6th, 2011

You always have to admire someone with hustle and entrepreneurial spirit. 23-year old Maurice Harary made some quick cash after creating a website to commemorate the death of Osama bin Laden reports TMZ.

Once Harary heard bin Laden was dead, he built a website that sells ”OBL is dead” t-shirts. The site went live a 3:30am, and by Tuesday evening, he had sold around 10,000 units at 12 bucks a pop.

Here’s a question, do you think Maurice will donate some of the profits to the 9/11 victims fund? He probably would sell even more t-shirts if he did.
