Jammin' on the Net

One of the world's biggest bands has a new interest in an issue Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has been fighting for - net neutrality. Pearl Jam claims AT&T censored part of its set during a webcast last weekend - a part that included some lyrics taking shots at the President. The enraged rockers hit the web themselves, posting a response that includes the unedited verson of the song. AT&T denies any malicious censoring, calling the whole incident a mistake. Sen. Wyden has been pushing legislation to ensure net neutrality; so is he joining the Pearl Jam fan club? Too soon to tell...

What could possibly go wrong with something called "the Texas Redneck Games?" Shockingly, a whole lot. The games feature such family-friendly events as the Mattress Chuck, where the goal is to drink a whole bunch of beer, hop into the bed of a moving pickup and throw a mattress as far as possible. Who'd get upset with that wholesome fun? The neighbors, that's who.
