For the past week, the phrase “white people stole my car” has been Googled like crazy. If you look at the Google trends or Google insight tool, it indicates the search began on August 19th (and that, perhaps, there was a rash car thefts in South Africa recently). There's a popular email being passed around with a picture showing a Google search for "white people stole my car." Underneath, it shows "Did you mean: "black people stole my car."

Fake. Hoax. Race baiting. Clever use of Photoshop, however. The good folks at over at Comedy Central might have created a new Genre:

"Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both."
