What?: Girl Gets Arrested For Writing On Desk

Remember in school, and how bored you were? Then you notice some moron wrote something stupid in the desk, like carving "Pepe" in your Spanish room, or writing "Hi!" on the back of the seat in front of you? Now imagine if you went to Junior High 190 in Queens, you would be taken out for writing "I wuz hurr" in handcuffs. I kinda wish I was kidding.

"Twelve-year-old Alexa Gonzalez scribbled "Lex was here 2/1/10" on her desk Monday at Junior High School 190 in Queens. She also wrote "I love my friends Abby and Faith."

Moraima Tamacho says her daughter was released several hours after she was taken in handcuffs to a police station.

Last month, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit alleging more than 20 instances of wrongful arrests and assaults by school safety officers.

Gonzalez has been assigned eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay on what she's learned from the experience."

Eight hours of community service, a book report, and an essay? Thats bullcrap! All my school would do is make you clean it off (during your detention, naturally), but goddamn, Queens must hate everyone. Its a marker, and I know they must sell something to get permanent marker off of the desk, and even not, they have soap and water. The school name reminded me of the show Hey Arnold!. I don't think its the same school, because there was no mention of Helga or any of Eugene's injuries in the graffiti.

Founding of CMK Media

Note: This will be posted on CMK Music Review too.

So, I don't think you guys run two blogs at the same time, but I created a way to organize my blogs. It is called CMK Media, and its the collection of the two blogs I post on regularly. Its not an actual for-profit business (nor legally a non-profit business), but one day I hope to make it that way. Could I make a living off of blogging? I don't know. Ask Geekologie.

"The Last Airbender" Trailer For The Superbowl

Because James Cameron stole the Avatar name, M. Night Shyamalan is presenting a trailer of his adaptation of the Nickelodeon series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" onto the big screen.

The trailer is only the thirty second blurb you see on FOX or CBS during important shows, so it doesn't show much. However, the few parts they show (from the beginning of the movie I assume) do seem to be on par with the series. I do expect, unless this is a multipart movie, that the whole three season series be wrapped up in two hours, so some cool parts and side stories will be cut. Am I looking forward to it? Damn straight!

Take Your Toyota To The Dealership NOW!

Some dude of high importance in the U.S. when it comes to making sure your car doesn't burst into flames, named Ray LaHood, stated that everyone with problem Toyota's should take them back to the dealership posthaste. Its a good thing my parents couldn't do it with me!

"In the most sweeping indictment we've seen so far in the recent Toyota recall issues plaguing the Japanese automaker, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray Lahood this morning called for current owners of recalled Toyota vehicles to park their vehicles. Later in the day, however, LaHood recanted, saying that while the problem was serious, owners should take their cars to the dealership to have them fixed.

His original comments set off a firestorm of commentary and set Toyota's shares in a downward spiral.

"My advice is, if anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it, take it to a Toyota dealer because they believe they have a fix for it," LaHood said before a House appropriations committee in Washington, D.C. today."

"But wait," The late Billy Mays would say, "there's more!" Indeed, Toyota is looking into breaking problems with their ever-popular Prius model (that makes the yyyooooouuurrr-gay sound as it drives by). And it recharges its battery by using the brakes, so they need to work! Also, you might want to be able to stop. Just sayin'.

Birds Playing Guitar: Feels Like A Prog Rock Title

Or maybe its what an average new millennium post-punk band sounds like. I don't know, because whenever I hear a song like that, I smash my radio. This is apparently some art exhibit at some French thing. I was so tempted to spell exhibit "Xzibit". I knew I should have. Damnit.
