Sunny Side Up


Southern California lifeguard towers are getting a much-needed face lift. Through the Portrait of Hope project "Lifeguard Tower Transformation" program kids and adults will be involved in hand-painting vivid, stand-out designs on form-fitting art panels that will be installed on the 4-sided towers and their roof tops – enveloping the towers. The public art exhibition will strikingly transform the signature beaches to paint lifeguard towers, their railings and other sun-faded surfaces along 31 miles of Los Angeles County coastline.

Trendspotting. Ew.


HARO, an organization that links reporters to various sources for articles, recently posted the following reporter request: 


"Looking for doctors or ER techs who have had patients come in with iPhones or Blackberries (or Droids) stuck... "inside of them." Apparently, this is a growing trend, as more and more ER's around the country are reporting this - Apparently the term is "Fexting." I need to speak to doctors or ER techs familiar with this practice - Why do people do it? How dangerous is it? Does it ruin the phone? Please stay on topic, and only pitch if you have relevant information."


Who are these people? 


Someone needs to tell Urban Dictionary to update their rather benign definition of term "fexting." Or those shoving phones into body orifices should get a new name for it -- something like "PH*cking." 


Use in a sentence (present tense): 
"AT&T service ph*cks millions of iPhone users everyday."


(Past tense) 
This dude is severely ph*cked.
