Purge your friend list for a Whopper

We've got a boatload of stories for you today -- and no, none of them contain New Kids on the Block. So, let's get started!

You'd better not unfriend me for a Whopper... some McDonald's Chicken Selects, perhaps; a salty batch of Wendy's fries with a Spicy Chicken sandwich, getting closer... but a soupy, sloppy whopper? For all you Facebookers with bloated friends lists, you can download a new application that prompts you to unfriend 10 people in exchange for a coupon for Burger King's new Angry Whopper. Seriously. Ugh, why am I now totally craving fast food?! Damn it...

A 13-year-old girl sent 14,528 text messages last month, according to her monthly statement. Her dad, thinking this wasn't actually possible, did some quick math and found this equates to "484 text messages a day, or one every two minutes of every waking hour." Seriously, you didn't notice your daughter texting that much? Something is very wrong at this home ... I don't think I send 1 a week, but then again I only have a number pad on my pink Razr and texts aren't my thing. Well, except for the one night I texted until roughly 3 a.m. with a friend while simultaneously reading Breaking Dawn. That was fun, but at what point do you just call them?

Not just for kids? According to our friends at Digital Trends, Lego and gadget company Digital Blue have teamed up to produce electronic gear made in the image of Lego's iconic bricks.

This 'net series is totally rad, or so I'm told. Called "The Rad Show," it was filmed before a live studio audience and highlights some of the best of 2008 -- including The Wrestler, Left 4 Dead and LOST. Give them a look and tell me what you think!

New Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz is a hot-$%&# kind of lady -- and I like her! Here is a great story and quote about her reaction to being named CEO and her plans for the company: According to today's Captivate screen (made by yours truly from an AP story), "An hour after Yahoo announced her hiring Tues., new CEO Carol Bartz vowed to make sure Yahoo gets some ‘friggin’ breathing room’ so it can ‘kick some butt.’" Go, girlfriend!

See you all on Friday!
