About a month ago, I posted about LuxuryLifestyle. It was a website that was offering an ‘exclusive’ email address (you@luxurylifestyle.com) for a flat fee of $250/yr. Their reasoning for charging for something that Google,MSN or Yahoo (among many others) were giving away for free was that it was an exclusive address. They were giving you an chance of introducing your great wealth to the world. You could set yours apart from the commoners who were getting their email service for free. Apparently $250/yr would not guarantee you a working email service. At the time of this posting; that website is down.
But you don’t have to worry! You don’t have to even think about signing up for a free account. There is one email service that is even more exclusive. Its only for Millionaires (and people stupid enough to pay $399/yr). Now I don’t know if this is a joke; or if people are just this stupid.. regardless; I thought it was ’strange’.

GTA refers to the popular Grand Theft Auto video game series developed by Rockstar. It is one of the most popular games on the Sony Playstation. I, myself, have played the GTA: Vice City edition. This game has been blamed numerously by many people for the general demise of society. Who could forget the ‘Hot Coffee’ scandal that GTA got into last year? (There was a ‘hack’ in the video game that let players .. well, you search it yourself. This is getting off topic). Anyways; GTA has been used as a reasoning by many convicted criminals. This time GTA finds itself in another controversy, however this one is a little funnier.
Tyrone McMillan, an avid GTA gamer, was taken into police custody in Albany, New York after leading police on a hour long car chase. He was accused of parole violation but did not want to go quietly. He was finally captured after slamming into two cars. So what made Tyrone think that he can outrun the police? When asked, Tyrone said that he felt that his extensive GTA experience would provide him with the skills needed to evade police.
That, my friends, is called Keeping it real.
