If you're involved in social networking and you've not heard about the Ashton Kutcher/CNN showdown, you should probably check yourself for a pulse. In a nutshell, Kutcher has promised to prank Ted Turner if his Twitter account, @aplusk, makes it to 1 million followers before @cnnbrk (which, prior to this week, wasn't even owned by CNN). Even with the stuff Kutcher is promising if he wins, this is still rank stupidity.

I get really annoyed when I see articles like this one on TechCrunch, confusing provincial and federal governments, when the author even bothers to make a difference. Even worse is when research for such articles are so half-baked as to ignore the fact that there's more to the story than what's being reported.
