A Merry Christmas wish from Sammi, Ronnie and JWoww:
RIM Statement - December 23rd
A service interruption occurred Tuesday that affected BlackBerry customers in the Americas. Message delivery was delayed or intermittent during the service interruption. Phone service and SMS services on BlackBerry smartphones were unaffected. Root cause is currently under review, but based on preliminary analysis, it currently appears that the issue stemmed from a flaw in two recently released versions of BlackBerry Messenger (versions 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56) that caused an unanticipated database issue within the BlackBerry infrastructure. RIM has taken corrective action to restore service.
RIM has also provided a new version of BlackBerry Messenger (version 5.0.0.57) and is encouraging anyone who downloaded or upgraded BlackBerry Messenger since December 14th to upgrade to this latest version which resolves the issue. RIM continues to monitor its systems to maintain normal service levels and apologizes for any inconvenience to customers.

Alyssa Milano Jersey Shore's Herself. I just LOVE her sense of humor and ability to make fun of everything.
But let me give you my thoughts on how people are so irrate that this show gives Italians a bad name. LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY -- This show doesn't give Italians a bad name. If anything, it gives NEW JERSEY a bad name. Shows like the Sopranos and movies like Scarface are what set the precedent for Italian stereotypes. A show like "Jersey Shore" does absolutely NOTHING to keep THOSE stereotypes going. If anything, they are creating new ones -- but alas, and again, I believe the show is worse for New Jersey than it is for Italians.
That said, I think it's incredible and should never be taken off the air.

Personally, I cannot stand holiday music. And no, it's not because I'm part of the tribe, but because they are just SO annoying to me. Holiday jingles get stuck in my head and anything I do can't get them to disappear. Even if I walk down the streets of NYC and spot a Santa ringing his bell, I'll just start singing "Jingle Bells" automatically in my head. Like, Pavlov-type shit. I can't take it.
Apparently, neither can the inmates of Maricopa County jail. It seems the jail bosses started playing lots of Christmas music in hopes of spreading a little holiday cheer. The incarcerated see nothing cheerful about it. Instead, they see it as an added punishment - and I'd have to agree.
Some of these jailbirds have gone so far as to file lawsuits claiming cruel and unusual punishment!
Unreal. But fo realz, I'd do the same.
THOUGHTS?
