All Over for Oink
International raid
Sources report that the world’s largest private music tracker has been shuttered after its servers were seized last week by tax agents in Amsterdam, and its 24 year old owner arrested at his apartment on Grange Road in Middlesbrough, England earlier today. His employer’s offices were also raided. In addition, the father of the site owner had his home searched. The site's new splash page claims criminal investigations are proceeding against members. Officials say the two-year investigation involved Interpol, Cleveland (UK) Police, the aforementioned Dutch authorities from FIOD-ECD SCHIPOL and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). - js. |

I’ve been a little down because today my doctor diagnosed me with John Travolta Syndrome. It’s a condition where your face or head grows laterally, getting wider year by year. It’s not so much of a problem and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just a condition. In fact mine is good because it means my brain is getting bigger too. But not that Travolta guy, his head is mostly fat. The doctors said I am much smarter than John Travolta and I believe them. |
