Culture: Idiots rule the world: “Jackass 3D” tops box office, and then some

  • $50
    million     the amount “Jackass 3D” made in its first weekend, topping the box office by a wide margin
  • $20
    million     the amount it cost to make the film, which was helped greatly by 3D ticket sales source
  • » Compared to the series: The latest film in the “Jackass” franchise, which is known for having a really huge opening weekend and falling off fast, is doing pretty good even by those standards. The most successful film in the series, “Jackass: Number Two” has made $72 million, which “Jackass 3D” is bound to top by accident. It might have also helped that the franchise has been relatively dormant for a few years.

Tech: Twitter gets rid of one of its peskiest, most annoying problems

  • If you delete a tweet, people can no longer find it. It was one of Twitter’s greatest, if not most obvious flaws. If you screwed up, thanks to the search results, your screw-up was encased in amber for the rest of eternity, or at least until everyone forgot about it. This created one notable/infamous incident, where ABC’s Terry Moran mentioned that Obama called Kanye West a “jackass,” then deleted the tweet – even though everyone could still see it. Fortunately, Twitter has finally fixed the problem. Despite that, you probably shouldn’t trust Twitter to delete your old tweets for good. source
