Half Ton Son, Half Ton Teen, whichever… this is being talked about in many forums. Yes, a teen that weighs half a ton, or perhaps more. It’s really sad that his parents can feed him that much food. I’d like to point out various facts but anyway I’ll just let you in on the video.
Please don’t overfeed your children

Did I just hear in the video that he is eating as much as 30,000 calories a day?!
And to think we have anorexic girls who are counting every single calorie they take in.
Well seems it’s true.
Do a search for “Michael Jackson” and you’ll find news about his death at the age of 50. Even Wikipedia has it as “Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)”. They do update pretty fast. -__-
Apparently MJ reportedly collapsed at a home he was renting in west Los Angeles. Paramedics responded to a 911 call at 12:21 pm local time. He reportedly was not breathing at the time that paramedics arrived, and CPR was quickly performed. He fell into a coma and died shortly after being rushed to the UCLA hospital. The cause of death is suspected to be cardiac arrest.
So a man went on a bus, paid his fare and, upon seeing a blind woman sitting near the front, shouted, “THE SICK MUST DIE” and punches her in the head. Six people in the bus rushed to detain him and were awarded by the city for meritorious service to the community or something like that.
When I first read this, I was like, “no frakin’ way…” But then it’s from Associated Press, so ok, let’s get on with the details. It can’t get any more hardcore than this!
Monday morning in Virgina, a 6-year-old kid missed his school bus. What’s a kid to do? He’s about to be late! Well, obviously, take your family’s car and get your tardy butt to the campus, of course! And that’s just what the kid (name undisclosed, so we’ll just call him “Lil Nicky” - you’ll know why in a bit) did.
While his mother was asleep, “Lil Nicky” took his family’s Ford sedan and drove to school. For the most part, the drive was surprisingly uneventful. In fact, he actually made it almost six miles before getting into an accident. According to the report:
He made at least two 90-degree turns, passed several cars and ran off the rural two-lane road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school.
Ooh, and he was so close!
The fortunate thing is that no one was seriously hurt. “Lil Nicky” was brought by the cops to the hospital for a bump on his head and was eventually taken to school after lunch. Now here’s the interesting game-related bit.
The kid explained to the police that he learned how to drive by playing Grand Theft Auto (they didn’t seem to specify whichGTAthough) and Monster Truck Jam. County sheriff Chuck Wilkins notes:
He was very intent on getting to school. When he got out of the car, he started walking to school. He did not want to miss breakfast and PE.
Well, you can’t blame a kid for seriously wanting to go to school.
Meanwhile, the parents of the 6-year-old are both charged with child endangerment, and the kid and his 4-year-old brother were both put under protective custody. The mom (Jacqulyn Deana Waltman, 26) is currently being held without a bond, while the father (David Eugene Dodson, 40) was released on a US$ 5,000 bond.
Yeah, kids are just so amazing these days. If they’re not fighting battles in court to legalize hedgehogs, they’re driving themselves to school.
*Update* Thanks to a comment made by rollypoly, we just found out that this story has actually landed on CNN! Here’s a YouTube embed of their news coverage (note that there are some details that seem to be inconsistent with AP’s initial report):
Actually, I don’t know which is more disturbing.
A 6-year-old playing GTA…
or the insane desire to go to school???
Following the footsteps of Google’s personalized homepage, Gmail has now added themes! Once the new option is enabled in your account (as usually, Gmail’s new features are slowly rolled out), you’ll find a tab named “Themes” in the settings page and you’ll be able to choose from 30 themes.
Checking e-mails now with GMail is a more pleasurable experience. And certainly goes well with their fast loading scripts.
Nintendo’s new ad for Wario Land: Shake It, a new game on the Wii. It’s an excellent example of using something most people are used to (YouTube) and doing something totally unexpected with it. Simply out-of-the-box marketing.
Seems like PhysX from NVidia is going to be the next step in graphic card acceleration technology. No doubt it is also going to be a strong marketing point for NVidia as soon as more games start supporting it.
