Twitter has started controversies between celebrities and every day people, so this latest controversy is nothing new. However, the Toronto Transit Agency and the Toronto Transit Commission are up in arms about the simple picture, which depicts one of their employees napping on the job.

For a bit of background on the controversy, the TTC first announced in November that it would be raising their fares by a quarter in January. The entire move has been unpopular with the citizens of Toronto, as many customers feel as though the service is less than sub-par.

This last Friday, A Twitter user named OGLE_Toronto grabbed a photo of a sleeping TTC ticket collector and used TwitPic to post it to Twitter. The result has been a massive media uproar which targets the TTC specifically for allowing this kind of employee on their roster while charging more for sub-par service. In fact, the image has received over 18,000 views and has generated some very heated comments. Here are just a few of the highlights:

“Sorry, but if TTC can raise fares and have employees works like this, chat on the cell while driving and give attitude, to riders, then TC deserves to be made fun of. Time for an overhaul. The Transit union WILL fall like Enron!”

“Sure, we’ve all gotten sleepy at work. But I pay this guy’s salary as a regular TTC rider, so I have the right to ridicule him for it.”

“Give the guy a break. Haven’t you ever made a mistake or are you perfect?”

When Apple says they have an app for that, they really mean it. After several months of infertility and problems conceiving, 30 year old Lena Bryce downloaded an app called The Free Menstrual Calendar. With the app, she was able to track her most fertile days, successfully becoming pregnant two months after downloading the app.

In fact, the Bryce family welcomed their new addition to the family on the exact day predicted by the application. When asked why she turned to the iPhone for fertility assistance, Bryce had this to say: “It began to weigh heavily on us. We were considering IVF and adoption when [my husband] Dudley gave me the iPhone (iPhone) for my 30th. I typed in ‘get pregnant’ and downloaded five apps.”

This makes the  Bryce family the first in Britain to welcome an “iPhone baby.”

It’s not unusual to hear Dr. Phil spouting about some random addition that a woman needs to rid in her life. From shopping to gambling, day time talk show host Dr. Phil’s advice has always been to cut the fat. However, when confronting a new obsession in one of his “patients”, things took an interesting turn.

After the chastised woman, Teresa, went so far as to unplug the wireless router to boot everyone from the family computer so she could check her crops, she realized she had a problem. She even blamed he extreme measures taken by her to play the game on her daughter’s attitude when asked to get off of the computer while doing her homework. Dr. Phil told her, “You have a ridiculous addiction to a ridiculous computer game that’s interfering with your ability to be a mother. You needed a fix, and she wouldn’t get off, so you had to create the opportunity.”

Dr. Phil’s right here, as much as it shames me to admit. These little applications which are supposed to make Facebook fun are taking over the whole site, making anyone who doesn’t use them extremely uncomfortable with all of the spam. Who would have thought Facebook can ruin families?

We’ve all seen our wall clogged with messages from applications which our friends play on Facebook. Donating gifts and asking for assistance in things like FarmVille, it gets really tiring, really quickly.

Tobuscus, a video director who has posted his latest ad parody on YouTube is garnering a lot of attention from people who are sick to death of these demanding applications on their Facebook. Of course, you can remove all notifications for these games, but it seems like more and more applications are popping up each day.

Sick of FarmVille, he asks? Then waste your time playing Mafia Farm Warsville!

It’s always interesting when major corporations come up with unique ways to get consumers to buy their products, but this may be going just a little bit over the top. Adidas has partnered with Augmented Reality to produce five different styles of shoes which have a code printed on the inside of the tongue of the shoe.

When held up to a web cam, the code on these shoes will provide you special access to an area on the Adidas’ website which features games you control with the very shoe you hold.

Apparently new games will launch on the site from February to April, while the shoes themselves will be made available in the United States on February 15th. Makes you wonder exactly what will happen next. Perhaps we’ll use bras with the Wii?

The ad in question is for the Australian KFC branch, which shows a cricket player in a crowd of West Indian fans. In an effort to get more comfortable amid the opposition, the cricket player offers up the KFC “crowd pleaser” bucket. However, Americans who’ve seen the ad via YouTube have called the ad extremely racist, where fried chicken and African Americans have long been a heated stereotype.

So you tell us, do you think this KFC ad could be considered racist? Obviously the ad wasn’t meant to reach the US market, and it received no negative response in Australia where it was originally added, but do the cultural stereotypes of one region pertain to another, regardless of significance?

Reports of a twitter argument turned foul are surfacing all over the internet, with reports stating that the argument lead to a murder, which will have New York police potentially subpoenaing tweets in the investigation.

Jameg Blake is accused of shooting and killing Kwame Dancy, both 22, with a shotgun blast to the neck. Blake has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The argument started between the two turned heated, as the first tweet was sent to Blake, stating:

““N—–s is lookin for u don’t think I won’t give up ya address for a price betta chill asap!”

In addition, Blake’s own Twitter account has an incriminating tweet which simply states “R.I.P. Kwame”, which was posted on December 3rd.

Sources close to police report that the tweets could be subpoenaed to prove the theory of bad blood between the two former friends, which would strengthen the prosecution’s case against Blake.

Apparently a quartet of teens were arrested earlier this week for talks of blowing up their school on Facebook. The four New Jersey teens discussed using the gas main as a means for setting fire to the school. When another teenager alerted school officials, the school was evacuated and the bomb squad was called in to assess the school for any threats.

It’s still unclear whether or not the teans were serious, but they’re still being held in the Essex County juvenile detention center pending further investigation into the matter. Many students feel as though these four were obviously joking, but parents and other officials argue that its no laughing matter.

An anonymous poster via Facebook had this to say on one of the offender’s Facebook page:

“Why are kids so incredibly stupid? My friend’s son’s FB friend just posted a similar comment followed by ‘jkjkjk lolol haha’ on her son’s page. This generation of texting, sexting, tech-savvy-with-no-common-sense morons may well be the dumbest yet.”
