SAG, Facebook Breast-feeding, CNN Vampires

Due to procrastination in school, I have taken notice of the world outside of my university.  First I'll start with the SAG awards.  Depressing is best as I could put it.  ...Then again it is just the SAGs...  30 Rock dominated the event, winning category after category ...after category...  My highlights of the night were: when Hugh Laurie won his one SAG, when the camera pointed to the beautiful Dexter crew, and when Laura Linney announced she wouldn't fondle the actor award.  Yes, I will admit Tina Fey's acceptance speeches were a bit funny, however I would have loved to hear a Steve Carell speech at least once.

So I was skimming through CNN.com when I came across a video on Facebook banning breast-feeding pictures.  Mothers argue that they have the right to share these pictures and do not have any vulgar message.  Many of the pictures fall within the terms and agreement since they don't show the areola area.  Although Facebook agrees breast-feeding is natural they took down these photos due to reports and complaints.  In fact, Facebook would not have known of the pictures unless users had not reported them.  The mothers of Facebook created a group on Facebook called "Hey, Facebook, Breast-feeding is not obscene!".  Starting over 1 and a half years ago the group now has 196,180 members.
What's your thoughts?

Researching this made me think about youtube.  Why is it ok to play Britney Spear's new song "If You Seek Amy" on youtube when radios have banned it?  Why is age check required on youtube videos revealing too much skin, yet videos with cursing do not have age check on them?  Why doesn't Happy Tree Friends (youtube video) have age check when it shows, at the very least, mild violence.
Go ahead and share your views if you want to.

The last subject I wanted to talk about is my theory that CNN hires vampires.  Unexplainable looks, fatal charisma... The life span of Larry King.  Dr. Sanjay Gupta has the brains of Carlisle Cullen and Anderson Cooper has the translucency of Edward Cullen.  A little eerie if I do say so myself.  So if CNN has vampires then what is Nancy Grace?

Thanks for reading.

PS.  I've researched the Beat 360 shirt and found out you also get a letter from Anderson Cooper (with a signature).  Thats it, I'm gonna win this!!!  Yes, the Beat 360 shirt and me is like George Clooney and Ellen Degeneres.  My slogan is Beat 360 shirt is mine in '09.
