Happy New Year! And don't forget...

Don't forget, if stopped because of a suspected DUI, or if you believe you may have consumed too many drinks, don't consent to the field sobriety test or breathalyzer test at the scene.

These tests are designed to give the officer enough evidence to arrest. However, DO take the breathalyzer test at the police station if arrested.

Drive safe and have a happy new year.

Check Out the Melodrama at Kim Jong-il's Funeral.

Just when you thought Mexican's had the lock on over-dramatic melodrama in soap operas,  here comes the North Korean women in Kim Jong-il's funeral. 

Believe it or not, it's rather entertaining witnessing these women's attempts at trying to not burst out in laughter while pretending to cry.  It's like watching a massive casting call for the North Korean version of Sofie's Choice.

Anyway, enjoy.

Merry Christman from Terry Gilliam in 1968!

For those who don't know, Terry Gilliam was an American ex-repatriate in the 60's who did the animations for Monty Python.  Here is one such video.

Happy Holidays,
Chicano Lawyer

Facebook Flaw allowed Public Access to Private Photos

A recently discovered flaw in Facebook’s abuse reporting tool allowed anyone to access private photographs of other users, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Until it was fixed today, the reporting tool allowed anyone who reported a public photograph’s owner to also peruse that user’s images, both public and private. After members of a bodybuilding forum discovered the security hole, they proceeded to target Zuckerberg’s account and publish a number of his private photographs online. This comes a week after the FTC slapped Facebook’s wrist over deceptive privacy practices.
