Van strike is a family 'splatter'

At a glance facebook seems like a very helpful website where one can reconnect with long lost friends, talk to family, network, etc. But some people just don’t know how to handle facebook drama. First of all Melanie Spanopoulos does not make a good impression from her facebook page listing some of her favorite activities are "getting drunk" and "speaking gibberish”. Melanie Spanopoulos clearly has a problem with violence, because a normal person will not run over a family member because of some guy they meet on facebook.
She also left her cousin on the street in the freezing cold, where other cars where passing by, that is just heartless, and when she got charged with assault her response was “This sucks” like if it was no big deal that her cousin is in the hospital because of her fault, this girl clearly has some growing up to do. If it had not been for the good Samaritan that helped Giselle Penagos who knows what her faith could have been. 
It's sad that at the young age of 21 Spanopoulos already has a record, because of a boy she meet on facebook.
This story is definitely news worthy because it shows us how seriously some people take facebook, to go as far as assaulting your own cousin, over some friend request, it upsets me that these girls do not realize that there are a lot of guys out there and they should both let this one go because family comes first.

Starbucks supersizes with the 31-ounce Trenta

Starbucks introduces the 31-ounce trenta size, as if Starbucks coffee was not expensive  already. This story can seem interesting to coffee aficionados, but to the rest of us that prefer drinking coffee rather than reading about it, the story might just seem like another scam from Starbucks to boost up their sales and bring back those social coffee drinkers with this crazy trenta “bargain”. 
I personally think that this story is not news worthy, since it does not involve neither a social politic,  that the public needs to be informed about this is just a publicity article. 
People that are regular clientele at Starbucks can find out about the newest addition to their complicated size names at their nearest Starbucks, it is unnesesary to publish a story about it.
