There was a story that came out last month involving the power of social media.  Musician David Carroll wrote a song about the bad customer service experience he had with United Airlines.

They apparently broke his guitar, so he wrote a song about it.

A month later, he’s followed up his complaint with another song.  Also, a month later, United Airlines says the bad publicity from the whole dealio has caused their stock to drop 10%, costing shareholders around $180-million dollars.

Granted that’s just a paper loss.  Still it shows the people still have the power.

Watch out you TV dinner makers, that Turkey-jelly cranberry disaster I had last night may qualify for a lawsuit.

In any case, here’s some of the fun stuff we missed.

John Mayer bet TMZ that they couldn’t find his mugshot from a 2001 Atlanta arrest for driving with a suspended license.  They won and now he has to pay $25,000 to Harvey Levin’s favorite charity.

The Brett Favre version of “Lola.” Its NSFW and very annoying after about 35 seconds.

Doogie Howser was practicing his evil laugh:

There was the chump cheating husband in Philadelphia who had this as his punishment:

bear-apHere’s a joke.

Q: What do you do when a 500-pound bear walks into your skateboarding park?

A: Give him a helmet and pads…and wait your turn until he done.

That actually happened in Snowmass, Colorado this week where a bear wandered into a sunken skate park and couldn’t get out. They lowered the bear a ladder…which the bear apparently knew how to use. It climbed out by itself and wandered off.

I don’t know what’s more freakier. A bear wandering into your park or a wild bear that knows how to use human tools. Screw planet of the Apes. Here comes Planet of the Bears.We must fear this bear!

gleesmallKidd Kraddick had some of the crew from the new Fox show Glee on this morning.

I wasn’t too sure about watching a high school show about the nerd department, but this one looks kind of fun. A musical TV show. Hmmm…this isn’t pre-press for the release of the modern version of “Fame” is it.

I wouldn’t put it above Fox, but hey, you gotta take your entertainment where you can get it.

Jessica Simpson and DaisyIn what may be one of the most odd statements that Jessica Simpson has released….she now says her dog is a lesbian.

Of course this type of update only deserves to be announced on Twitter, so that’s what she did. She says “Daisy and her best friend Bella back together again. Lesbian lovas forever!”

First of all Jessica, maybe your dog doesn’t appreciate you outing her on social networking sites.  Second, maybe your dog was just flirting and isn’t ready for a committed relationship.  Did you ever think of that before putting that type of pressure on?

Please, someone call up the woman and ask her out on a date. She’s clearly lacking for things to do.
