The music video for the Insane Clown Posse song "Miracles" has become a source of amusement because of the lyrics "F**king magnets, how do they work?" In Internet news, AOL has recently announced that the social network Bebo will either be sold or shut down completely. Like MySpace, Bebo has struggled to compete with the rise of Facebook.

An aircraft belonging to the Polish Air Force has crashed near the Russian city of Smolensk. 96 people have died in the disaster, including the President of Poland, Lech KaczyƄski. The campaign for the 2010 United Kingdom general election is underway. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, are looking to regain power for the first time in 13 years.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "House", "Friday Night Lights", and "The Big Bang Theory".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Pokémon Platinum", "FIFA 10", "Borderlands", and "Metro 2033".
