White House Fears Chinese Spying, Shuts Off Blackberries

They should just shut down all crackberries for the good of humanity... geez, earlier today i saw someone walk into the glass revolving door of a building and bang his head real hard, because he was paying attention to his blackberry and not the door. and all he could say was ouch and "what happened!?!"

    he left a huge grease mark of his forhead on the glass revolving door. i should've took a photo.

    Ha! The irony.

    Whitehouse to China, "Are you spying on us?"
    China to Whitehouse, "Are [italic]you[/italic] spying on us?
    Whitehouse turns to no person in particular, "No comment".
