Oh baba-booey: Howard Stern’s Twitter account hacked?

http://twitter.com/#!/jdonels/status/294933475398664194

Howard Stern may be the self-proclaimed King of all Media, but even kings are vulnerable. Something seems a bit … off about Stern’s most recent tweets, and many of his followers have taken notice:

@howardstern you’re waxing philosophical today…what’s up?

This does not sound like Howard lol RT @howardstern: My definition of soul: you with a capital Y. What’s yours?

Apparently, based on his tweets, @howardstern has lost his mind.

Not exactly the sort of material you’d expect from a guy who tweets stuff like this:

Good question. One thing’s for sure: this certainly doesn’t sound like the Howard Stern we know and lov- er, the Howard Stern we know.

Dads Are Rallying For “Amazon Mom” To Change Its Name To “Amazon Family”

The retail giant’s family-discount program is only known as Amazon Mom in the United States — it’s known as Amazon Family in other countries. #AmazonFamilyUS

1. Parent’s Twitter and Facebook feeds across the US have been lighting up with the following graphic this morning:

Christ Routly / Via daddydoctrines.com

2. The movement has largely been inspired by the passing of Oren Miller, the father and blogger behind bloggerfather.com.

Oren Miller / Via bloggerfather.com

Miller was a giant in the online parenting community who had long questioned Amazon.com’s branding of their family rewards program as “Amazon Mom” in the US, and was championing for a change.

3. Miller wrote often about why he felt the exclusionary name was an issue, but never more succinctly than in his February 2013 post promoting another dad’s petition to change the name to Amazon Family, as it was known in Canada, the UK and elsewhere.

“Please sign that petition. Please. It’s not about a name and it’s not about me personally being offended and it’s not about stupid emails about yoga classes. It’s about a company that looks at the US, then looks at England, and then decides that over there, parent equals mom or dad, while here, well, we’re not ready for that yet.” – Oren Miller

5. After his death, the community Miller touched so deeply rallied, taking up the #AmazonFamilyUS torch as their own.

10. Doug French, founder of the Dad 2.0 Summit, an annual meeting of dads and marketers, spoke to BuzzFeed Life about the #AmazonFamilyUS movement:


“Amazon is a smart, powerful, and progressive company with as recognizable a global brand as there is. Bringing ‘Amazon Family’ in line with its branding all over the rest of the world would be a strong show of support for dads in the US.”

11. So far the #AmazonFamilyUS petition has over 3000 signatures.

Dads are an integral part of the village. A village needs a vendor. Be ours, @Amazon! #AmazonFamilyUS https://t.co/RXJsYWnG0L

— AHDMatters (@(Dada) Mike Heenan)

12. BuzzFeed Life has reached out to Amazon Mom for comment.

John McCain names romantic comedy best depicting ‘bromance’ with Obama

http://twitter.com/#!/TheLeadCNN/status/365567760543137792

Yes, your eyes didn’t deceive you. During an interview on CNN, Arizona Sen. John McCain was asked what romantic comedy best represented his “bromance” with President Obama. McCain went back a few decades for an answer:

http://twitter.com/#!/zbyronwolf/status/365568024700387328

That might explain why McCain’s meetings with Obama always end with Maverick saying, “baby, you’re the greatest.”

Here’s the video. We think the Senator might have even blushed:

As Dr. Evil once asked, “it got weird, didn’t it?”

http://twitter.com/#!/dorseyshaw/status/365570087954026496

There goes the man the GOP nominated to defeat Barack Obama in 2008. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that didn’t work out for the Republicans, isn’t it?

Update:

Olbermann: Holder should have been fired before martyring Fox News reporter

http://twitter.com/#!/dinadinadinas/status/341569852198223874

Keith Olbermann, former MSNBC, ex Current TV host and big Twitchy fan was asked the above question via Twitter today.

Olbermann’s response makes it clear that he’s upset because Attorney General Eric Holder should have been stopped before he allegedly ended up blatantly disregarding the First Amendment rights of a member of the press martyring a Fox News reporter:

http://twitter.com/#!/KeithOlbermann/status/341574592650948609

Possible constitutional violations? Meh. Being allowed to stay on the job so long he may have unwittingly generated empathy for a reporter from a media outlet Keith Olbermann loathes? Unforgivable!

Which of these is #Obamas Fake Twitter Acct Name?

http://twitter.com/#!/Joe_Pasquini/status/306226952530956288

As Twitchy reported earlier, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney  had a little trouble explaining that the @BarackObama Twitter account isn’t really connected to the president at all — except those times when it is. When the president tweets from there, he signs the tweets “-bo.” But otherwise it’s just Organizing for Action, which is a totally independent organization. But the president’s followers are real, mostly. We’re not so sure about the newborn eggs lobbying for gun control.

So if @BarackObama isn’t Barack Obama, we’ll have to assume one of the following is #ObamasFakeTwitterAcctName.
