Frank/Carlos...care to comment?

Anita Cabral and her family booked a flight to Hawaii for herself and her family with United Airlines to visit a dieing family member before he died. They did their due diligence and reserved a beach house 1 year in advanced. They also booked their flights 6 months prior to the trip. They even bought TRAVEL insurance!

So 24 hours before the flight, they get the "Please Check-In" email but when they get to the website, it doesn't work. They called United and attempted to check-in over the phone. Now here is where this story goes BEYOND the normal "shitty customer service from an airline" story.

They were told the flight was cancelled...

...but wait, another person who made a separate reservation already checked-in to the flight?!

They were told the computer "lost" the reservation...

...but why did they get an EMAIL telling them to check in?

They were told their seats were sold to someone else. Wait, WHAT? Yes, their seats were sold to someone who, most likely, paid a LOT more for those seats. But United didn't end there. They refused(and still refuse) to write a letter taking responsibility for screwing this family over to the insurance company. So that $10,000 they spent on the beach house is gone.

Oh yeah...the family member they were going to visit died a couple weeks after they were supposed to have visited. United Airlines, folks!

I have to agree 100% with this list. These ARE the best 10 Sports Video Games of All Time. I even agree with the order.

If you've never played Soul Caliber, you really need to play more video games. Here's a nice list of characters that probably won't make it into a Soul Caliber game (with Soul Caliber illustrations). The SC version of Mario is freaky.

A 14-year old Boy Scout evacuated several kids from a car before a crazy lady rammed it with another car. The rest of the story is kind of boring.

That crazy lady, identified as Holly Kay Highfield, was actually driving those kids when she intentionally hit a bicylist; attempted to carjack another car; successfully carjacked yet another car before ramming her OWN car (when the hero Boy Scout saved the day), then rammed a fence and finished by running around in a circle taking her clothes off. Tada!

Normally you can click on the picture and get a link to the story. Not this time. Why? Because there are two different stories:

Russia invades neighboring Georgia!

And then there is THIS article:

Georgia brutally attacks Russia!

How do we have such differing articles about the same crisis? Look at the web address of the second link. That is what the state media of Russia is publishing.

Shia LaBeouf's left pinky may have to be amputated after a recent car accident. Based on reviews of Indiana Jones 4, which stated that he had more acting talent in his little finger than Harrison Ford and Karen Allen combined, this might be the end of his short-lived career.

Don't try this at home, kids...

Update: Check out the video of the encounter.
