It's not real if you didn't know, they set up the reporter with fake interviews.

Another one here and the uploader of both videos says it in the comments below .

My hotmail account is linked in with my Playstation Network account. Think it may have been hacked because I've gotten a load of people texting me/Twitter-er-ing me telling me that they got a load of emails from me saying such things as;

"OMG! I have never had such a long sex!" with a link attached and also another one asking people to lose weight or something.

If you change your hotmail password that should fix it!

See that good looking young gentleman in my signature?

Tonight, at approximately 1:30am - 1:45am our time, he becomes a multi millionaire as the first pick in the NFL draft.

Straight out of college, looking at a $50 million paycheck.

You think he'll make it big in the NFL?

He's an extraordinary talent but alot of first picks in the draft don't live up to their potential...that said he's like a footballing equivalent of LeBron James from what I can see

It's actually kinda sickening.

Will the draft be a big snooze fest or is it watchable?

High risk, high reward. Higher risk than the last 2 1st overall picks though.
If I was in charge I'm taking Marcell Dareus or Peterson from LSU, bomb, then take a less risky QB with the first pick next year .

Nerd alert!!!!

SSL certs are valid for a certain period of time, the change in your date on your machine would have had made your browser think the SSL cert was invalid. Hence the error message.

Makes no sense.

I spent the morning watching football, forgot the wedding was on till I visited the you laugh, you lose thread.

Don't see the big deal with it. It's mad that there's so much interest in a wedding between two people who will be unimportant for many years to come.

I remember a few years ago reading an excellent article about the NFL draft. I think it was Esquire or FHM or something like that. Gave a really good insight.

I'll see if i can find it.

A HEARTBROKEN father yesterday told of how his son had hanged himself because of "fear" and "guilt" he felt over the Cork air disaster that killed six people in February.

British pilot Oliver Lee (29) used to fly for the Manx2 airline between Belfast and Cork.

Just days before the fatal crash, Mr Lee left the airline to join British-based Jet2, but he blamed himself for the tragedy.

He believed it would never have happened if he was at the controls, as he was familiar with foggy conditions in Cork.

Mr Lee's body was found by a Jet2 colleague in the stables of his family home in England, which he shared with his father David (54) and sister Harriet (21).

David Lee last night said the Cork crash came as an "utter shock" to his son, who knew the pilot well.

British co-pilot Andrew Cantle (27) was the designated flying pilot when the 19-year-old Fairchild Metroliner crashed on the Cork airport runway on February 10. The flight's captain, Spanish pilot Jordi Sola Lopez (31), did not take over the controls -- even after two failed landing attempts in the fog by the co-pilot, an initial air accident investigation found.

On a third landing attempt, the right wing tip clipped the runway and the aircraft overturned, skidded and caught fire.

Miraculously, six people survived.

David Lee said his son, Oliver, "felt strongly" that if he'd been there, "nobody would have died".

"He knew the fog problems associated with Cork and he would say that he would have either postponed the flight for safety reasons, or landed it without incident," he added.

Oliver became very anxious after the crash. "Despite me and his colleague telling him there was nothing he could have done and it was not his fault, he just couldn't accept it.

"If I had known he was suicidal, I would not have let him out of my sight."

Speaking from the family home in East Morton, near Bingley, West Yorks, David said Oliver had been dating girlfriend Katie Long for more than five years, and had hoped to marry her.

Jet2 had offered Oliver a position flying Boeing 737s from Leeds-Bradford Airport, which is closer to his home, and he joined the Yorkshire company in early February.

His father added: "Airports and airlines were in Oliver's blood. It was his life."

A spokesperson for Jet2.com said: "We are saddened at the news of Oliver Lee's tragic death and our thoughts are with his family during this difficult period."

folks, broadband is contention 16-1, is that good?

package is 5mb download and 3mb upload

Its not bad. The lower the contention ratio the more you pay.

The cheapest packages are generally 48-1. In fact a lot of packages can be that at level.

3mb upload is quite high as well. Usually you'd be doing well to get 1mb upload speeds on the lower packages.

So ya thats not bad in fairness. (As long as th price isn't too exorbitant).

Whether its the right package for you is another story. Your usage and potential usage should be the criteria to answer that.

its this what im looking at that

Ya it would want to be significantly cheaper because that price listed is mad!

Are these guys your only option due to your location or because you know somebody involved there and giving them business?

If you have other options available to you then at least check them out for comparison purposes.

I have a fixed wireless service here with it wireless throughout the house. 3Mb download, max 1Mb upload (if I'm lucky) and contention ratio 48:1.

Does me fine for Fifa online. Probably more demanding games out there than that though.

It will suffice for gaming (If the 5Mb promised is the actual speed) but you should always aim to get the best deal available to you. If I could get a faster package I would have it but the infrastructure around here is shocking.

My place of work has a 5Mb Eircom package but the actual speed is usually around 3.6Mb so that can happen. Although that is on the telephone line and the shít quality of the lines coming into the building have caused that problem.

As with all wireless services like the one your suggesting, it is important to have a good line of sight. Otherwise the quality of the service will be affected or completely cut off if the line of sight is very bad.

I have 3mb eircom broadband in my area

that and munster broadband are the only providers in my area. Long story short I can only get 3mb broadband off eircom (*****). I want faster broadband and am hoping Munster broadband can be the answer

If you haven't already, talk to someone who has Munster broadband to be sure of its reliability. Does it cut out during storms, how quickly a problem is fixed if it does get cut-off, those kind of questions.

After that, I guess see what you can bargain them down to and if its affordable for you then go with as 5Mb is obviously better than 3Mb and the high upload speed could come in handy for uploading videos. Like when I upload my goals from Fifa!
