Lily: Sesame Street’s New Muppet plans to Bring Awareness to Hunger Issues

Many are unaware but there is a new Muppet moving to Sesame Street. I first got word of the new Muppet months ago, when plans were in the making to bring a new Muppet on board and it was creating a lot of negative press.

With our country facing one of its biggest poverty issues in years, Sesame street was aiming to create a “homeless” puppet to show youth a growing issue that is one of America’s biggest secrets. To avoid controversy, Sesame Street never introduced that Muppet. Now, they are prepared to introduce a character with a extremely sad tale to sing.

Hackers to “erase” the Stock Exchange?

PCMag.com is reporting an unconfirmed threat to “erase the New York Stock Exchange from the Internet,” posted by hackers claiming to belong to the secretive Anonymous hacktavist collective.

Other representatives from Anonymous – whose jaunty headless suit-wearing logo belies the traditional view of hackers as cave-dwelling, disheveled and unwashed nerds – dispute the claims. Regardless, as the #OccupyWallStreet protests continue to attract major media attention, it is inevitable that we’ll see virtual signs of rebellion to match the movement in the streets.

In fact, it’s possible that a collective of brilliant, security-loophole exploiting hackers could cause serious damage to some of the financial systems at the heart of this viral movement…and a good deal faster than the rest of us trying to turn the ponderous wheels of the bureaucratic machine.

You have a choice: you can stop reading and pretend that Troy Davis never existed. That last night never happened. Or you can keep reading and never stop fighting for Justice.

Is this 9/11 Anniversary Wine in Bad Taste?

Is this 9/11 memorial wine in bad taste?

A Long Island Winery, Lieb Family Cellars, has created a 9/11 themed memorial wine and says that 10 percent of the sales of their 9/11 Memorial Merlot and Chardonnay wines will go to the National September 11th Memorial and Museum.

The price of the wine has been set at $19.11 ,which I think is also another tasteless statement. The retailers will pocket around $6 from every bottle, while the Lieb Family Cellars says an estimated $1.15 to $1.91 per bottle is what will go to the September 11th Memorial and Museum.

“We lost a lot of friends on 9/11. The owners of the vineyard are Wall Street people. For us, it’s something we do to give back,” Gary Madden, the winery’s general manager said.

Can profiting from tragedy be ethical? Sound off in the comments.
