Here's looking at you kid.


In Chesterfield, Missouri a company called ad space has placed something new in to a mall.
This product has only been place in three other malls in the country, it's a new ad system.
Now I know you're thinking well what the hell is so special about a new ad system?

This one is like a slide show which you might not care about at all, but it also has a small camera hidden in it to inform the mall of many things.

It can tell them how many people pass the sign, how many people view the ads, as well as the age, sex, and ethnicity of the people watching it.

Now the mall officials would like for this to help them target a certain group of people to get products for, but ad space says that's not their goal because basically you can't really target one group of people because so many people shop in malls.

Some people are outraged by this new system, their opinion is they don't want the mall to know when they shop and what they shop for.
I completely agree with this statement, it is your own privacy to shop when you want and get what you want without the mall watching you just to target you, so that way you buy more stuff there and get them more money.

But I guess i can see the mall peoples point of wanting to make money, I mean isn't that what our country is based on today? Money and how much of it people have?

Anyways, Comment me and tell me what you think of the blog and your opinion as well.

The Jail, The Jail, The Jail is on fire.

Isn't it ironic that even in prison convicts can still do terrible things and harm others?


Well yesterday at about 4:30 p.m. thousands of inmates rioted at
Reeves County Detention Center
in Texas. They stated that as many as 2,080 prisoners contributed to the riot.
It's unknown what prompted the riots, plus the disturbance was responded to by several other law enforcement agencies. Apparently this wasn't the first time a riot occurred at this facility.
On December 12, the inmates took two guards hostage and then set the recreation center on fire.
This riot was an attempt to gain a list of many demands they had, but the day of the 12 they surrendered.

Now wouldn't you agree with me that it's just ridiculous for inmates to get a second chance at prison, especially when they have done something like this on their first chance?
