"CNN correspondent Rick Sanchez's account, for example, tweeted a message claiming that "i am high on crack right now might not be coming to work today," while Fox News' Twitter update reported "Breaking: Bill O Riley [sic] is gay," referring to the network's conservative talk show host."

I am completely LOLing right now. Bill O Riley is gay. Classic.

later we will find out that Bill O's twitter account wasn't hacked. He's just using the global hackfest as cover for a drunk tweet.

"It's about 4 feet wide with razor sharp teeth."

This is my new favorite phrase. I've been trying to think of ways to work it into regular conversation.
