Here's what's trending right now - in your neighborhood, in America and around the globe.
Did you know the NBA is visiting North Korea for an 'away friendly' match in Pyongyang, North Korea yesterday. It looks like that's not all they were doing. Dennis Rodman was criticized for making politically insensitive remarks during his visit to the communist regime.
Later he apologized for making a faux-pas by saying that a captured American missionary in a North Korean jail, Kenneth Bae is guilty of nonspecific crimes. Pretty far-fetched, don't you think?
Well, he made everyone feel better by singing 'Happy Birthday' to the North Korean leader Kim Jong, who was sitting in the stands at the indoor stadium where the friendly took place. But reports say that Kim's age was not revealed; he is speculated to be in his early thirties.
In an another controversial row involving misrepresentation, Rap duo Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit after the U..S. Justice Department labelled its fans as 'a gang' in a 2011 FBI report.
The suit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union representing Joseph Bruce (Violent J), Joseph Utlser (Shaggy 2 Dope) and four fans. According to the FBI report, Insane Clown Posse fans, Juggalos, were described as "loosely organized hybrid gang."
Moving on to the next trend setter, there's been so much said about former NSA agent Edward Snowden's leaks about American spying. It got so embarrassing that Britain, an ally of the U.S., was on the list of spied nations, according to Snowden.
What will we do next? Well, the White House says, President Barack Obama is expected to restrict the spying potential of the National Security Agency by curbing its access to phone records. In response to
Britain's cry, Pres. Obama plans to limit espionage activities targeting foreign leaders. President Vladimir Putin of Russia would be pleased. Snowden has been given temporary asylum in Russia after he was holed up in a Moscow airport.
