Craigslist stops offering links to 'adult services' ads
no more getting STDs from craigslist, ok guys srsly.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/04/AR2010090401719.html
Craigslist, the Internet's iconic ad bazaar, has stopped allowing U.S. users to access its "adult services" ads.
On Saturday morning, the link to those ads - which had been criticized by prosecutors and human-trafficking groups as a tool for pimps and prostitutes - were replaced by a black box with the word "censored" in white letters. News reports indicated that the ads were still visible to users in other countries.
It's unclear, for now, whether the change is a temporary statement or a signal that Craigslist will stop allowing the ads.
A spokeswoman for Craigslist did not respond to e-mails for comment. The company's outspoken chief executive, Jim Buckmaster, posted no explanation on his official blog or his Twitter account.
In a statement, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D) - who was among 17 attorneys general who last month asked Craigslist to shut down its "adult" section - said he welcomed "Craigslist's apparent decision to close" the section.
"We welcome any steps toward eliminating the adult services section and prostitution ads on Craigslist, as we have urged, and we are seeking to verify the site's official policy going forward," Blumenthal said. "If Craigslist is doing the right thing voluntarily in response to our coalition of attorneys general, it could set an example for others."

Paris Hilton gets prison nostalgia, executes flawless plan to get sent back
Paris Hilton
Splash News Online
The heiress, 29, was charged with felony cocaine possession following her weekend arrest in Las Vegas. The drug charge carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison if convicted.
Police pulled over the car in which she was riding on Las Vegas's famed Strip when an officer smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. The arrest report says Hilton was taken into the nearby Wynn Las Vegas hotel "at her request," where she was placed in a holding room and took lip balm from her purse.

I am amused
I find it pretty funny that they actually recorded this but here's a cover of the Antoine Dodson 'Bed Intruder' remix (originally done by the auto tune the news guys) done by a collaboration of Hayley Williams of Paramore, Jordan Pundik of New Found Glory, and Ethan Luck of Relient K.
