In what may be the cruelest joke on people about to have cars repossessed, a new reality game show allows contestants to fight for gaining back possession of vehicles--and having cars paid off in full. It's not 'reindeer games', it's "Repo Games" on Tru TV. Real-life repo men make debtors answer five questions. Three better be right. Read more

Like so many other talented singer that lost their battles with drug and alcohol abuse the news is heartbreaking.

Unbelievably, Netflix employees are actively deleting Facebook comments about the price hikes scheduled to take effect September 1, 2011. As late as 2 a.m., the movie company has actively deleted hundreds of consumer comments -- pages at a time -- that shed a poor light on the company. Read more
