		<description><![CDATA[<p>We haven&#8217;t laid into Facebook for a few weeks, so it seems high time we took aim at the #2 site on the internet.  (our website being number one,&#8230; interesting fact)  Crashboy introduces us to a place where you can buy lovely Facebook inspired tchochkes, including a tshirt for that Farmville player on your newsfeed.  It turns out Facebook is also turning up in a significantly higher number of divorce cases these days.  Turns out posting that picture from the Christmas party is actually usable in court.  Who knew?</p>
<p>And we end our Facebook discussion with the news that Lady Gaga now has more Facebook fans than any one else in the history of social media.  ( number two?&#8230;. John Lithgow&#8217;s Friendster account&#8230;. interesting fact)</p>
<p>Which came first, the hit or the ad?  We look at the Apple effect, and why artists constantly jockey to be the featured song on Apple&#8217;s new ads.  Then we delve into the nebulous world of ambiguous sexuality with a look at the recent tribulations of Justin Bieber, and how they pale in comparison to the tribulations of women with large feet.</p>
<p>All that, plus sex in space, listeners reviews and calls, and why Prince thinks the internet is finished.</p>
