The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Nokia, Starbucks, Beazer or Expanding Subprime Woes

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

  • Upbeat earnings from Nokia (NOK)...
  • A look into the expanding "pain" of subprime...
  • A recap of Beazer Homes' (BZH) intraday plunge that we saw...
  • In-line earnings from Starbucks (SBUX)...
  • Thoughts on the Hindenburg Omen...
  • A recall by Mattel Inc.'s (MAT) Fisher-Price unit...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - Chinese go online to torture, kill corrupt officials...according to the article, "An online game in which players can torture and kill corrupt officials that a Chinese local government set up to teach people about the perils of graft is proving a roaring success"...the game "lets players get ahead by killing officials by means of 'weapons, magic or torture' "...and "vigilantes are rewarded for the capture, torture and killing of not just corrupt officials, but also their sons and daughters"...
