Brian banks was supposed to be an all american line backer at USC and to go into the NFL, but instead he spent 5 years in jail because he was falsy accused of rape at the age of 16. not only did he have to spend 5 years of his life in prison but he also had to be on probation for 5 years. now he gets to follow his dreams and pursue a career playing professional football and is going to play with the las vegas locos of the united football league. after this the Kansas City Chiefs San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks, whose head coach, Pete Carroll, had received a verbal commitment to USC from Banks a decade before.
"I didn't even know if I was going to have a number, a jersey…I didn't know what to expect when I first got here," Banks said. "I got to my locker and saw there was a jersey in it — number 43. And I just wanted to take a picture of it just for myself. It's just amazing to see my name on the back of it. It's an honor to be taken serious and to be given this opportunity." -Banks
Even though he went through a lot, he never gave up on what he believed in. He worked hard and now he's going places, he's doing what he needs to do to be happy in life.

racist hollister models
http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/hollister-models-post-racist-photos-south-korea-store-190400183.html
Hollister models were fired after make fun and making racist comments about Asians. the "life guard" models got into trouble for some racist photos and how they were acting at a recent store-opening in Yeouido, South Korea. The models got into trouble for making "slanty eyes" while taking pictures at a local tourist attraction, Royal Gueongbokkung Palace and one put these pictures on his twitter account. there was another model who put up his middle finger while taking pictures with the locals. this behavior was then reported on the blog called the Koreabang.
After reading this, a lot of people were offended and returned the merchandise back to Hollister. i really don't blame them, why would they buy the merchandise from workers who were disrespecting their culture. the models who work at that Hollister should be more respectful to the people who are living in that country. People should be more considerate of other peoples cultures.
