Yesterday Al Roker was called out for Twittering too much during his jury duty duties, even posting photos of potential jurors for the case, which common sense will tell you isn't a good idea. Today the NY Post reports that Roker acknowledged making "a mistake" but said it was "inadvertent." Fellow weatherman Sam Champion showed his support on Twitter, and he wasn't the only one. David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, seems to be happy that Al became a poster boy for civic duty, albeit only for one day (Roker wasn't picked for the panel). Bookstaver told the paper, "What's more important is this shows Al came to do his civic duty, and we're happy about that. It's a good example that nobody's exempt." The Daily News points out that he also claimed that Roker's actions weren't illegal, "despite a sign which says in no uncertain terms that taking photographs 'anywhere in the courthouse is strictly prohibited.'" Looks like some people are exempt from that one, eh Bookstaver?

Al Roker is an idiot of elephantine proportions.
Al Roker? Isn't he the black comedian on SNL?
tweeting is for twits and tweens.
Myspace is for that.
myspace, facebook, tweeting...it's all the same bullshit. hey everyone look at me and my stupid life!! wheeeeeeee!!
Amen. Self-obsessed unimportant and uninteresting people. Literally monkeys with technology. They should have to get an FCC license to bore us with their emissions.
I don't have any other forum to discuss this in, but since this is an Al Roker post and close to the weekend, I thought it was worth asking: does anyone else HATE when Al says 'Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!" in ref to the weekend's forecast? When it's football season, he says, "SUNDAY NIGHT...football night...in AMERICA!" and that hurts twice as bad.

My true love gave to me
Six twits a-twittering..."
You just have to love the fact that NYS Courts demands that all cameras and digital voice recorders be left at security, but have no problems with cell phones. Um, hello!!! Most cell phones have cameras nowadays and all have memo recorders. Even if it's an older one that doesn't have a recorder, you can always call your own number and put it on speakerphone when the voicemail picks up. Security is so ignorant when it comes to technology.
What the heck is twitter again? A cell phone thing?
