FaceBook Adds "Whore" As New Relationship Status Option...In Other News, Several Of Kells' Ex-Girlfriends Coincidentally Change Their FaceBook Relationship Status After Hearing About This New Option A new survey by Kaplan, a subsidiary of the Washington Post reveals that the top 500 colleges in the nation now look at FaceBook profiles to evaluate their applicants. Out of those colleges over 38% of applicants have reportedly been negatively effected because of their FaceBook profiles. College admissions departments all over the country now have yet another tool they can use to weed out applicants during their selection process, unfortunately the students aren't aware of this type of investigating and continue to post tons of miscellaneous negative content on their online profiles.
This isn't surprising. During recent job interviews I've been asked if I'm a member of any social network, leading me to believe the investigation included a thorough check of my online profiles. I've also read in the past that more and more jobs are searching social networks to determine if their applicant is eligible for hire. People assume because their profiles are "private" that background investigations won't include any information in their profile. That's completely false, especially in cases where applicants sign release forms (orientations, application packets, etc.) prior to getting hired. A quick call to the social network's headquarters (i.e FaceBook, MySpace), and faxing of release forms can grant instant access to any information listed on these websites. source
Speaking on the combination of attention whores and social networking, I managed to come across Sarah Palin's facebook account. Hilarity is an understatement.

Now that the election is over and everyone can go back to being the politically asinine and simpleminded people they were before the election, it's time to evaluate the impact race has had on the election. Yes that's right it's time to ask "would your vote have been different if Barack Hussein Obama were White and John Sidney McCain were Black?" This is a question that's been bothering me for days because many people who've participated in this year's election were driven completely by race. Although it's impossible to determine if race decided the entire election, it still doesn't hurt to ask.

While browsing Google's "Street View" in my city of Chicago, IL. I managed to find a photo of a young man pointing a gun at a crowd. Only on the south side of Chicago would an image of a random act of violence be caught on camera by Google. You couldn't make this stuff up.
I've decided to start a new game here at Lost in Transition. The game will be entitled "Gender Wars." I'll post a picture of someone, and ask what's the gender of the person included in the picture. Once results are gathered (via comments), I'll post the answer along with a follow up picture of the person to verify the gender.
For our 1st installment of Gender Wars, we have someone who obviously is a cross between a sand monster and a Rick James look alike. So I ask the question, male or female?
Moving on, will someone explain what the hell is this woman doing?

I'm in such a good mood I decided to upload Kanye West's new album entitled: 808's & Heartbreaks (unofficial release). You can download it here for free in it's entirety. Don't thank me, thank the people in his inner circle who can't be trusted with his material.
Kanye West - 808's & Heartbreaks
Album's Tracklist
1. (00:06:13) Kanye West - Say You Will *
2. (00:03:02) Kanye West - Welcome To Heartbreak (feat. Kid Cudi) *
3. (00:03:29) Kanye West - Heartless
4. (00:03:58) Kanye West - Amazing (feat. Young Jeezy)
5. (00:04:31) Kanye West - Love Lockdown
6. (00:04:47) Kanye West - Paranoid (feat. Kid Cudi)
7. (00:03:53) Kanye West - Robocop
8. (00:03:14) Kanye West - Streetlight
9. (00:03:54) Kanye West - Bad News *
10. (00:04:22) Kanye West - Tell Everybody That You Know (feat. Lil Wayne)
11. (00:02:47) Kanye West - Coldest Winter
12. (00:03:35) Kanye West - Therapy (feat. T-Pain)
* = bad mix, or sound quality.
Update November 13 2008 3:52PM: I've listened to the entire album. I must say 3 tracks on the album I've uploaded have horrible sound quality. Oh yeah if you don't like Kanye West singing, then don't waste your time downloading this album.
Once I get the absolute full copy (once it's officially released) I will reupload it to this post, and notify all of you of the changes. If the link is taken down, please email me and I'll re-upload it ASAP. After 4 weeks this download will no longer be available.
Final Thought: Downloading music online is a crime. You should know better.

"would your vote have been different if Barack Hussein Obama were White and John Sidney McCain were Black?"
uhhhh.....would you elect Clarence Thomas? Hell naw! Never in my life would I elect a black conservative, there more screwed up in the head than white conservatives.
And the first pic for gender wars is pretty creepy...what is she/he doing?
Also, do you think the 808's is the final mix of the album. Kanye has been screaming that he wasn't finished mixing and people keep leaking the tracks?
Fresh: I remember Kanye saying that on his blog, in relation to Robocop being leaked. I'm pretty sure that might be the case (because Robocop is horrible), but as far as the whole album being incomplete (not mixed); I just don't believe em.
...Listen to the album and you be the judge. Sounds pretty authentic to me. He'll most likely add a track or two now that the album has leaked, but for the most part that's about it.
As far as Gender Wars, I'll explain what he/she's doing once the results are tallied. For now just guess the gender! Tough one eh? LOL
I think it's a good idea to check people's Myspace page or Facebook profiles. That's giving colleges another insight on what to expect out of an individual.
Let's remember Obama had good political views and if the presidential election went the exact same, I would've voted the same.
They haven't updated the Streetview in a while for the areas that I recently checked.
For some reason, I cannot find the mixtape to Kanye's 808's & Heartbreak album. Everybody that's familiar with Kanye know he drops a mixtape before every album. His album is scheduled to drop Monday November 24, 2008. It comes out on that Monday and not that Tuesday to get an extra boost in sales because of the Thanksgiving holiday. I would have the actual authentic copy next Wednesday November 19, 2008. I listened to some of the joints...ahh, it needs to grow on me.
I will be honest... Obama could have been purple for all I cared! I was scared that WHEN McCain died Ms.Alaska was going to take over. She is a CRAZY...yes a said A CRAZY! So ANYONE was better than McCain/Palin...BUT OBAMA= The bestEST
(GAGS) That is neither man or woman...THAT is a BEAST!!!! BUT if I have to pick...I'd go with Woman...WestSide Hoodrat Woman...YES, Im gonna go with that!
My vote wouldn't have changed lol.
I think it's a girl. Most homomen would know better than to wear those flowery granny panties. Totally unsexy.
Overall, I like the idea behind the album. But his singing turns me off sometimes :(
I'm not feeling Beyonces cd either though so hey.
Lo-doe??? I like how you commented on ol girl pic LMAO!! That was def a ass whooping!
Color doesn't matter to me I am all about ability and Obama was the better choice.
After i heard Love Lockdown I was done...I hate that song and I love Kanye , but no matter how many times I watch that video I can't get into it.
Sandy P, (LMFAO)they trying to cover that up!
Gender Wars is definitely the right name for that because whatever that is, it's fighting for an identity.
blogger deleted one of my posts because i had download links to 'i am sasha fierce' so its not a joke....
if my blog disappears, i'll know why
GenderWars Results// Guys that was indeed a girl. I guess the nasty panties were a dead give away.
I really sat down and listened to the Kanye album last night 4 times front to back with the exception of LoveLockDown & Amazing with Jeezy (I hate that song). The album is not that bad and it sounds a lot better with no distractions or during any work.
My favorite joint is #2, Welcome to Heartbreak. The production (I love this beat) puts me in a zone where I can reflect on things in the past and get a more vivid picture on things to look forward to.
