Glory Be // Pope Hits Facebook, iPhone with Pope2You Aps

5/22/09 - Posted by Evan Kessler under Life & Culture

Facebook sinners, prepare to saddled with massive amounts of Catholic guilt for all of your social networking indiscretions. While you previously only had to answer to your stalker friends who might be inclined to comment on every damnable offense apparent in your profile photos, now you’ll have to answer to a much higher power: His Holiness.

That’s right, el Popo is on Facebook - and he wants to be your friend. While some of the Catholic Church’s policies might be rooted as far back as the 1st century, that doesn’t mean they’re unable to bring religion coasting into the Twenty First with a hot new application. The Pope2You page allows users to send their friends and enemies virtual postcards with photos of the Pope Benedict XVI staring directly at them. If this doesn’t get them running to confession, at least it’ll be a fun tool to use to let your roommate know that you’re well aware of his solo indulgence in the pleasures of the flesh the previous evening. That’ll be “two Hail Marys” and three “our fathers.” Sinner.

What An Open Web We Weave

3/10/09 - Posted by Abdullah Saeed under Industry, US

A stadium operations manager at Lincoln Financial Field lost his job this week for making the rookie mistake of dissing his employer, the Philadelphia Eagles, in his Facebook status update.

Dan Leone, crushed by the Eagles’ decision to let safety Brian Dawkins sign with Denver, was driven by his emotions to change his status to “Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver … Dam Eagles R Retarted!!” The Pennsylvania Aviary for Handicapped Birds of Prey declined comment.

Rather than changing their own Facebook status to something like “The Philadelphia Eagles are going to suck ass with or without Dawkins. Have you even been watching football for the past few seasons? Dan Leone is a tool,” the Eagles decided to kick it up a notch and straight up fire Leone. The six year Eagles employee told the Inquirer that he feels he’s been ‘done dirty’ and that he is ‘devastated’, a word he clearly loves using frivolously.

As far as his future in stadium operations management for Philadelphia teams, Leone’s future looks bleak. The Phillies are doing too well to care about him, he’s afraid of ice, and he has a deep seeded loathing for Jon Bon Jovi. Luckily, Tony Luke’s is hiring, but due to the bad economy they can only pay him in their delicious, homemade mayonnaise.

    It’s kind of unfair: pro basketball players are typically ginormous, but they’re always hanging out with diminutive cheerleaders, models and actresses. While we fully support the concept of giving the spoils to the victors (did you see our sweet news coverage, by the way?), it’s nice to know that at least one monolithic baller is [...]
