Or when you are getting your face jacked for calling someone a f*ckin f*ggot. He totally deserved to get punched. Shame on Perez. I’m boycotting.

Well, it could be useful. But this is a very funny sign. In all CAPS, too. Hahaha

See, what you do is take a picture first, then call 911, and finally upload the photo and report it on Twitter.

Normally, this is good advice. But in Atlanta our 911 system is so jammed (sometimes you are put on hold for minutes!), that my city councilman used Twitter recently to help get an ambulance:

That said, I read last year (before I even knew what twitter was) about how a reporter was kidnapped in the Middle East. He managed to get a tweet out just as it happened, and ultimately was rescued because he did so. I was trying to find the story, and came across this one-- not sure if it is the same incident. http://www.orato.com/tech-games/twitter-saves-journalist-from-prison

*** MUST READ***

Just the other night, there was a fire in an NYC apartment building, and when one of the tenants was interviewed for a major newschannel, she told the reporter that she was trying to post a tweet to her twitter account as she was fleeing the burning building. I am not sure if this post Trent made has to do with that situation, i dont think it does, however, its kind of interesting how dumb people are cuz they actually DO things like this! Amazing. Well if you find the time, you might be able to youtube it or something if you want to see her interview, lol.

Haha, silly Brits and their silly signs. Although, at first I totally didn’t notice anything weird about that. Maybe three months in London does that to you XD

I would so not doubt that the sign is real.

When we were having all those earthquakes in LA, I tweeted before checking up on my family. I need help.

I don’t know… if you have a lot of “followers” it might be useful! Oh yes, BB.
