After learning that a New Hampshire man lost his life savings at 
a carnival in hopes of winning an Xbox, a satire website offered 
to buy the large stuffed banana the man received as a consolation 
gift for the same amount of money the man lost, WBZ reports.Henry 
Gribbohm, 30, of New Hampshire, told WBZ-TV that he ended up losing 
$2,600 playing Tubs of Fun at a Fiesta Shows' carnival. The next 
day, he said he complained to a person running the game and 
was given $600 and a large stuffed banana with dreadlocks.Gribbohm later 
filed a report with the Manchester Police Department claiming that the game 
was rigged. The department told the station that it is investigating the 
matter.Tubs of Fun is notoriously challenging. Gribbohm told the station 
that he practiced and thought he had a knack for it. But 
once the game began, the balls started popping out of the water. 
His only explanation: "It's not possible that it wasn't rigged."CollegeHumor.com 
caught wind of the story, and announced it would buy the dreadlocked 
banana for the $2,600.For every Facebook 'Like' this post gets, we'll put 
10 cents toward the cost of Henry's stuffed banana, and if we 
get to 26,000 Likes, we'll offer to buy Henry's banana for $2,600. 
If this post gets over 30,000 Likes, we'll offer to buy Henry's 
banana AND pay for the Xbox Kinect that he was originally trying 
to win, the post said.Like a down-on-his-luck Blackjack player, Gribbohm 
began making riskier bets to wi

No drilling in the Gulf. At the end of the day, the 
economy is not doing well.The Sierra Club, Credo Action -- the activist 
arm of cell phone company CREDO Mobile -- and others have since 
launched a multi-front pressure campaign that includes a petition, a protest 
outside company headquarters and a Facebook graphic that reads: Hey Zuck, 
pull your ads supporting Keystone XL.The people on Facebook who made Mark 
Zuckerberg a billionaire need to know that he is using his fortune 
to bankroll pro-Keystone XL propaganda," said Becky Bond, CREDOs political 
director.Zuckerberg, one of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs, has 
never publicly revealed his political party affiliation.But he has openly 
and generously spent his money across the political landscape on causes 
he deems worthy and in support of politicians who share his ideas 
on economic and education reform, including New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris 
Christie, for whom he held a fundraiser in February. FWD.US has answered 
the recent criticism by saying the group is trying to deliver its 
message to the wide range of voters.The group is committed to showing 
support for elected officials who promote the policy changes needed to build 
the knowledge economy, said FWD.US spokeswoman Kate Hansen. Maintaining 
two separate entities, Americans for a Conservative Direction and the Council 
for American Job Growth, to support elected officials across the political 
spectrum  separately  mea
