Late last month, I wrote about <a href="http://pulse2.com/2009/08/31/fox-tv-series-glee-and-fringe-to-have-live-tweet-commentary/">how FOX plans to place Twitter messages</a> on the re-runs of Glee and Fringe.  I wrote that it was a good idea, but it turns out that whoever designed the appearance of the Twitter responses and messages for the TV show did a terrible job.  </p>
<p>The Twitter messages controlled a <a href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2009-09/picture-of-the-day-twitter-on-tv-failure/">large chunk of the screen real estate</a> and even covered the faces of some of the characters.  On the forums over at MonstersAndCritics.com, an anoynmous commenter wrote that the Twitter pop-ups was the &#8220;most annoying thing I have ever seen.&#8221;  Another commenter wrote &#8220;take it off the screen so we can see the show.&#8221;  </p>
<p>What I would have done differently if I was in charge of this experiment was to make a scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen.  Having pop-ups over the characters faces does not do any good for Twitter or the show itself.</p>

A <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5348675/pole-dancer-doll-doesnt-really-set-the-perfect-role-model">Gizmodo sourc</a>e found this Pole Dancer doll on a shelf somewhere and it is supposedly made for kids to play with.  You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me!  The thing even has blinking lights, disco ball, and a stripper pole.  If I actually had a chance to pick one of these up, I&#8217;d get it as a bachelor party gift though.</p>
