Microsoft says it will apologize to a small West Virginia town as well as a 26-year-old gamer it booted from Xbox Live. The player was suspended from the online gaming service after he announced he lived in the city of Fort Gay. A customer service representative wouldn’t believe the town was a real place. Turns out, he was wrong.

Was in court friday for a guy facing 10 – 40 years for delivery of Meth and MJ. For some reason instead of acting repentant he came off like a total butthead. Judge maxed him, he had been looking at diverting him to a drug court (max 180 days and rehab at state expense) cause it was a first offense. Now this idiot has to do 75% of his sentence before he can even see daylight.
Why don’t you crims just shut up, look sad and hope for mercy?
