Red Ring Of Death(2nd mp article 5)


Do you know what the 'red ring of death" is? Don't be alarmed, It sounds kinda scary, but it's not. It has to do with the game console: Xbox360. When you turn the console on, 4 green lights light up. When one of them doesn't turn on and 3 of them turn red, this is known as the red ring of death. This happens when the console is experiencing a problem(usually from overheating). 50.4% of Xbox360's sold did this. The reason if because the way the console is manufactured is a little screwy. I really don't like this. People pay a lot of money for a game console that will just break. That's not right. I am expecting an Xbox360 for Christmas , so I really hope this doesn't happen to me. Most of the people I know that own an Xbox360 do not have any problem with there console, so I don't feel to worried. As I was saying, this is really unfair. I am surprised the makers of the console haven't done anything about it. People have been complaining for a while, but they obviously aren't putting to much thought into it. So as a conclusion, If your thinking about getting an Xbox360, get it, but be sure to get a warranty or a guarantee on it.

Kick A Ginger Day(2nd mp article 4)


It has come to my attention that facebook has made a kick a ginger day.(Ginger-A person who has red hair,pale skin, and freckles) Well, this club has been on facebook for a while but i just found out about it. It might be based on a "Southpark "episode. The actual "Kick A Ginger Day" day was Nov/30/09. There were three kids in California that got beat up. No charges were pressed but some people are mad at this. I'm a ginger, and i didn't really care about the club. It didn't bother me at all. The only thing that I don't like is that 3 kids got beat up just because they are a ginger kid. I got kicked twice on the day but it was a playful kick. people have made different versions of the club like hug a Asian day, or hug a Mexican day. Which I think is kinda funny. So my basic opinion on "Kick a Ginger Day" is that i don't care. I mean, I care but I don't think it is that big of a deal.
