Honestly, the only reason I’m posting this is I couldn’t say no to that headline…
The 31 year old actor, Kal Penn, will be departing from the show “House” to join the White House in Washington, DC. The Associated Press reports that Penn will serve in the Office of Public Liaison as the associate director. He will be a liaison between President Obama and the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts and entertainment groups.

Benjamin Button Is Worth Shooting Someone Over
Monday, December 29th, 2008
This is the kind of story that makes me worry about my friends in Philly. I mean, I hate being disturbed in the movies as much as ( OK maybe a bit more than ) the next guy, but this is extreme.
Well, 29-year-old James Joseph Cialella Jr went to see David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at the UA Riverview Stadium 17 movie theater in South Philadelphia on Christmas. Seems like the Riverview isn’t the best theater to see a movie in, read some of the hilarious reviews of the “ghetto theater” on Google or Yelp. A family seated in front of Cialella began to talk during the film, so he told them to be quiet. But that didn’t stop the younger son from making comments. He even threw popcorn angrily at the talkative son, but the talk did not stop. Cialella became so enraged that he pulled out a Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun and shot the father in the left arm.
I guess this in some way speaks to the quality of the movie…
Jump to slashfilm to see what the gunman did AFTER he shot the father!
Apple Employee Fired For Thinking “Too Different”

Barlow was first written up in September 1996, when he was cited for “unprofessional and inappropriate personal modifications to his workspace.” In addition to taped-up pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein and R. Buckminster Fuller, Barlow painted a large red question mark on the side of his monitor, scanned and displayed a non-approved desktop screen image of Jim Henson, and replaced his computer’s trademarked Apple system beep with a snippet of the John Lennon song “Imagine.”
