3. Billy Idol - White Wedding

Cupcake Flavored Vodka

Cupcake Vodka. Yep. It's vodka. That tastes like cupcakes.
"Cupcake Vodka Original is six-times distilled to remove impurities while delivering a mouth-feel reminiscent of an indulgent delicious treat."
I haven't tried this stuff, and I'm not sure I want to. I prefer to keep my alcohol consumption separate from my sweet tooth. And if this review from Gawker is any indication, it's probably a good idea to keep it that way.  My favorite line from the review:
We're shocked they missed the opportunity to go for the sad girl with cravings trifecta and have a red velvet cupcake vodka with a picture of a cat on the bottle.
But if you want a real laugh, check out the first comment!

PlayStation Network Update

As I mentioned a couple days ago, the PlayStation Network got knocked offline last week and is still down. Well, the news just got worse as Sony announced yesterday that an "unauthorized person" hacked into the Network and has obtained users' personal information including name, address, password, login, and possibly even users' credit card info. 

If you're a member of the PlayStation Network, you definitely want to read this release from Sony to make sure you're doing all you can to protect yourself from future identity theft.
