Culture Buzz The world of “creative” “professionals” was briefly rocked last night when Justin Johnson proposed to Marissa Nystrom with a video posted on the Tumblr dashboard (for all users to see).

As the debate about Caster Semenya's ambiguous gender continues, more and more searching for photos of her (him?) on Google so that they can decide for themselves.

There is a huge debate raging on Twitter right now on the controversial topic of pink, aka magenta, and whether it is really a color. The anti-magenta camp claims that there is no magenta wavelength on the color spectrum. The pro-magentites respond that “no color exists outside our brain's perception of it,” which is, like, totally deep. We report, you decide: does pink exist??

Shlomo Zand is the author of a bestselling book, “When and How Was the Jewish People Invented,” that argues that Palestinian Arabs are actually the “children of Israel” described in the Old Testament. Obviously this is a controversial idea.
Celebrity Buzz The British bopper has encountered a whirlwind of controversy regarding an interview in which she commented on the media's sensationalism of drug use, claiming that she knows “lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all.” In response, cokeheads everywhere rejoiced, giving two trembling thumbs up before furiously searching for the drum 'n bass remix to “Smile.”
Politics Buzz Internet hooligans Anonymous somehow hacked Sarah Palin’s personal Yahoo account and posted the user name / password on 4chan (they’re now deleted)! Now, Gawker and Wikileaks have some of the emails archived and posted for all to see.
Celebrity Buzz This years VMAs were (as usual) all about Britney Spears. After last year’s disaster, Britney redeemed herself by looking hot and winning Best Female, Best Pop, and Video of the Year for her video Piece of Me. But people are wondering if MTV rigged the awards in order to make up for last year’s humiliation. Call it a pity vote or ratings ploy, either way she’s back and may really be off the drugs this time.
The trailer for Oliver Stone’s biopic about George W. Bush surfaces online, promptly reminding us that November can’t come quickly enough. If the trailer is any indication, Bush is going to get the same “presidential” treatment that Stone bestowed upon Tricky Dick. (Go get ‘em, Bushie!)
Culture Buzz When the body of the Private First Class was returned to her parents in Missouri from Iraq, LaVena Johnson’s father called bullsh*t on the Army’s claim that her death was the result of a suicide. Footage clearly indicates that, in reality, Johnson was likely beaten, raped and murdered (in fact, a trail of blood was photographed outside her tent). The Army, however, has refused to provide further information regarding the case, proving that, even in an “army of one,” it’s not hard for a soldier to be easily forgotten if she isn’t a white male (or, better yet, a star football player).
Movie Buzz A war of words between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood. Lee criticized Eastwood for not having any black actors in his Iwo Jima movies, so Clint responded with, “A guy like him should shut his face.” Game on! And no, this definitely has nothing to do with generating Oscar buzz.
Tech Buzz The sex in the new version of Grand Theft Auto isn’t even hidden. Apparently the video games rating board saw and signed off on all the simulated sex in Grand Theft Auto IV. That isn’t stopping one of the game’s chief foes, Jack Thompson, is trying to get the game pulled from the shelves.
Culture Buzz A controversial anti-Koran film is leaked to the web. Made by Dutch politician Geert Wilders - leader of the country’s conservative PVV Party - Fitna links violent images to the text of the Koran, and stirred up debate in the Netherlands before its release. After no Dutch television station would agree to release it in its entirety, Wilders said he’d “rather have it entirely on the Internet, than half on television.”
