Automakers, Fireballs, and (of course) Facebook: What people are talking about today

We began our Wednesday with a quick scan of what's gotten the people atwitter this days - we're nothing, if not all about "the people" here at MEvBLOG.

As best as we can tell from a smattering of articles on the Internet, the "F" in Facebook now stands for "facism;" UFO's are colliding in fiery mass over the skies of Texas, and automakers plan to suck the country dry of all its resources.

Here's what's on the minds of the people today:

FACEBOOK TO OWN YOU...OR NOT
After an enormous online backlash, Facebook decided to reverse it's recently changed terms of service. The online social networking site changed their original TOS to include language which essentially said that if you cancel your account, Facebook can keep all your content and use it how they see fit at any time.

The changes angered many people - presumably because they had big plans for post-Facebook licensing of those relevant pictures documenting that crazy New Year's Eve when they got drunk with a pregnant woman in a wheelchair.

ACTUAL ALIENS INVADE TEXAS
Texans from Dallas to Austin are going crazy after seeing what appeared to be two fireballs colliding, accompanied by several sonic booms on Sunday. This was a few days after the FAA gave airline pilots the heads up to watch for falling space debris from a collision between a Russian and American sattellite.

Also reported in North and Central Texas were two guys in black suits and sunglasses who kept asking people to stare at a glowing metal wand. Witnesses recall a bright flash of light and the overwhelming desire to get jiggy wit' it.

AUTOMAKERS ARE FISCAL BLACK HOLE
While President Obama is crossing his fingers and hoping that slipping a few billion to American homeowners will hold massive foreclosures at bay, automakers are asking for $14 billion more in bailout money.

(The above nonsense came from us smacking our head against the keyboard repeatedly. We assume it's the normal reaction when companies, like GM or Chrysler, scrape the bottom of their own barrels, than scrape the bottom of your barrel, than ask you to give them your empty barrel and you're left with nothing - not even the clothes on your back - and you can't even wear your own barrel.)
