A little history:
At the age of 5 I started my own dot com and made billions selling bat foetuses to yuppies as a cure for blandness. I went bust in the great crash of '33 and since then I've been living on the streets eking out a living collecting aluminium to build my fortress for when I am ruler of the Galaxy.

Marketing Campaign of the Day: A fully funded $14,800 Kickstarter has resulted in an extensive D.C. ad campaign defending Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is charged with “aiding the enemy” for leaking the largest dump of classified information in U.S. history to WikiLeaks. If convicted, Manning faces life in prison, an outcome the series of subway ads — which hail him as a whistleblower — seeks to avoid.
The ads, by nonprofit ad firm EpicStep and the Bradley Manning Support Network, are directed at government workers in the capital:
The military has done its best to limit public exposure to Bradley Manning’s case by holding the trial at Ft. Meade, a relatively difficult location for the public to attend, and they have not released transcripts of the pretrial hearing, thereby limiting media exposure and making it difficult for laymen to follow the proceedings. Let’s bring the case back to Washington! … These ads will force government workers to remember WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning, remind them that the public is behind Bradley, and explain that what Bradley is accused of doing is a public good.
Bradley’s next hearing is June 6.

![I guess this is the point where we say America has officially nuked the fridge:
This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Upon arrival in Los Angeles, a pair of British buddies were interrogated for hours, placed in separate holding cells for 12 hours, and ultimately sent back to the UK.
Their offense? Jokingly tweeting that they were coming to “destroy America” and “dig up Marilyn Monroe.”
Leigh Van Bryan, 26, and Emily Bunting, 24, say they were locked up with drug dealers and “treated like terrorists” all over a tweet Van Bryan sent to his friends prior to Hollywood trip with Bunting, in which he informed them that he was on his way to “destroy America.”
Van Bryan and Bunting tried desperately to explain to airport officials that “destroy” was slang for “partying,” but to no avail.
“The Homeland Security agents were treating me like some kind of terrorist,” Van Bryan, a bar manager from Coventry, told The Sun. ” I kept saying they had got the wrong meaning from my tweet but they just told me ‘You’ve really f***ed up with that tweet, boy’.”
He was also asked to explain a tweet about “diggin’ Marilyn Monroe up,” which he said was a reference to a Family Guy episode.
The two were eventually put on a flight back home. “We just wanted to have a good time on holiday,” Bunting said. “That was all Leigh meant in his tweets.”
A request for comment from the Department of Homeland Security was not returned.

Skate Video of the Day: Professional cameraman Danny Strasser shot this rather stunning footage of a skater riding his board down the world-class bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track in Altenberg, Germany.
I think the Winter X Games just found their newest sport.
