The two-metre statue of 10-year-old Barack Obama smiling to the butterfly which has sat down on his hand, has been placed in park Taman Menteng in December, 2009. It was informed, that as the author of idea the noncommercial organisation "Fund of friends Obama" which main office is in Indonesia has acted.

Day of a pornography on YouTube

Porn Day

Users of an anonymous forum 4chan have appointed to January, 6th the mass calculation on YouTube rollers with a pornography, writes TechCrunch.

Thousand pornoimpregnations

As well as all similar operations, this consists in preparation of outwardly decent videoclips containing pornographic inserts. Anonymous authors have agreed to create counterfeit accounting records on YouTube, to load pornorollers, but not to publish them to the appointed term. On idea of organizers, on January, 6th on a video hosting there will be at once thousand videoclips with impregnations of pornoscenes.

Given the protest is the answer to blocking of the accounting record of the eight-year fan of games Nintendo, Lukeywes1234 as which on 4chan already recognised as the king and the god.

Not deserved blocking of the boy

The boy who together with the grandmother removed a miniserial about heroes of games, has informed on January, 2nd, that would like to have by February 50 subscribers.

The opposition bribes users Facebook virtual currency

Social project Facebook

Value of game currencies realises the increasing number of people. As it was found out, recently this understanding was born and at representatives of the industry of medical insurance of the USA: the various organisations and associations of this branch conduct campaign against one of bills of the present US president, actually buying support at fans of social games, informs The Business Insider.

Get Health Reform Right in Facebook

The scheme looks so: specially generated group of opponents of the bill of reform in sphere of medical insurance Get Health Reform Right by means of the advertising shown to participants of certain social games from Facebook, offers them a certain sum of virtual game currency in exchange for filling of the simple form. After sending of the form on behalf of the user it is automatically sent e-mail to the congressman in which text the protest against the given bill is made.

The Business Insider refers to the head of game company OMGPOP Dan Porter who the first has paid attention to the given circumstance (and even has made a screenshot of the aforementioned form). As he said, any time "advertising" Get Health Reform Right it was shown in company Zynga games, including hits like Mafia Wars and FarmVille, but then Zynga this advertising has covered.

To advertising in social networks — NO!

I will remind, that, reacting on advertising, fans of social games often get not so much, how many lose, becoming victims of a dishonest policy of advertisers and the game companies. It is not excluded, however, that to this practice the end will soon come.
