Apparently some of them started a character assassination campaign against his wife. At least that is, if you trust serious journalists who looked into the matter and stated that it is made up. Unfortunately though for Bettina Wulff, the rumors took off on the Internet. Now whenever you enter her name Google suggest the additional search terms "prostitute" and "escort". Google refuses to alter its search index.

What do you think, should Google be allowed to destroy somebody's reputation like this?

Uh, I work 55 hours a week. Thats 11 hours a day, and I make pretty good money. 15$ IS trivial to me, and 40$ is too.

I have all the typical responsibilities and I pay for everything I do, consume, use, enjoy etc.

As for playing time; I left the house this morning at 7:30, I just got home 5 minutes ago and its 7:45. I was up until 2am lastnight playing BurnOut 3, I starded shortly after 8 lastnight. See, thats what real gamers do, forsake sleep for their hobby. There goes your time estimates.

Just because you can't swing it doesn't mean everyone that can is a spoiled rich kid.

Suck it up and either quit your bitchin or get a better job.
