"Flappy Bird," a highly addictive game, that flew to the top of apps lists for iPhones and Androids has stopped flapping. New players can no longer download the app but some birds keep flapping on the phones of players who downloaded the game before its creator, Dong Nguyen, took it down on Sunday.

According to cnet.com, more than 50 million people have downloaded "Flappy Bird," which generated billions of ads allegedly earning Nguyen $50,000 per day.

Nguyen told Forbes on Monday that the product had become addictive, "I think it has become a problem." The game was originally developed as a way to kill time. It turned into an obsession for many who spend countless hours flapping away.

The concept is simple. You guide the bird through an obstacle course of green metal pipes by tapping the screen to makes the bird's wings flap. Your score accumulates based on how many openings in the pipes that you fly through. The goal: to senselessly waste your life trying to beat your high score so you can brag to your friends who are also senselessly playing "Flappy Bird" every chance they can.

Tickets went on sale for the 15th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos on Friday, with the Insane Clown Posse bringing the event to a 300 acre campground in Kaiser, Missouri, but sadly, because of some up-tight Juggalo-hating neighbors and assorted squares - including some legislator who clearly hates joy - Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have been forced to make other plans:

However, after we signed the contract and announced the location of the Gathering, some of the people that lived in the surrounding community began to raise hell. Not all of them, mind you, but enough to bring a lot of heat to the owners of the campground. Not only that, they also experienced a media blitz and their phones would not stop ringing. This was no doubt amplified because of the recent lawsuit filed against the FBI by Psychopathic Records and the ACLU for wrongly accusing the Juggalos of being a gang, as well as the reports of last year’s Gathering losing money. Some people in the community where the Gathering was to be held must have believed the nonsense because they kept saying a “gang” was coming to their town and we heard reports that some people were starting to arm themselves. Unbelievable!...There was no way to prepare for how much attention this was going to get and how negatively some people were going to react to the Gathering coming to their town.

One guy overdoses at Drug Bridge last year and now everyone's freaking out. What happened to America, people?

While most of Arizona isn't exactly the best place to hold an outdoor music festival in the summer, there has to be some big open space up north somewhere where we can accommodate the Gathering, right? I don't exactly how you go about taxing the "$1 to See Tits" economy, but there has to be money in it somewhere for our pro-business, pro-freedom state, right? It'd be great for whoever distributes Faygo in Arizona, at very least.

I'm looking at you, Fort Tuthill County Park. Do it for freedom. Do it for family.

It's an oldie but a goodie, brought back from 2010 in Wednesday's article from the Capitol Times, Controversy swirls around Huppenthal’s pitch for private schools. When he was a state senator, John Huppenthal introduced legislation that would have put the subject of vouchers to a public vote. First, it would repeal language in the state constitution prohibiting the use of public money for religious instruction, then it would create a voucher program for students at schools designated as failing. If anyone had a question about where our Ed Supe stands on vouchers, this should put it to rest.

In his justification for the 2010 legislation, Hupp used a line of reasoning which is, to be polite, unbecoming a future superintendent of public instruction.

“Obviously you’re not getting an education at a failing school so it’s probably incorrect to even call it a public school. A failing school is not really a school.”

Not really a school.

All those teachers working their tails off in difficult circumstances aren't really teachers, I guess. Same with the administrators. In Huppenthal's vision, it's a building filled with losers who are beyond help. Absolutely no education going on there.

Legendary erotica photographer Eric Kroll has curated a special Valentine's Day show at the new Exploded View Gallery/MicroCinema.

You won't see any of Kroll's work, although the photographer himself will be on hand for the opening of Unobtainable on Friday night. Instead, you'll find pieces from a collection of photos of women with long hair, painstakingly assembled by one of Kroll's New York City friends who "just had a jones for women's hair."

The show includes photographs, collages made from comics and Hollywood stills and a film of long-haired women shot in Washington Square Park and Coney Island, according Kroll.

"Arthur's obsession with women's hair is a form of love and it's Valentine's Day," Kroll tells The Range. "I wanted to broaden the sense of love because Arthur sees things uniquely and in his work, his obsession makes his work artful. It's a different way of looking at love."

Thy Odd Birds will be performing and there will be all manner of fun, so stop on by anytime after 7:30 at Exploded View, 197 E. Toole Ave. Admission is just $5. If you can't make it Friday night, the show will continue through Sunday, Feb. 16. For more info, call 520-366-1573.

Here's Kroll's story behind the show:

Arthur never tried to make art. Nor was he a photographer. Yet some of his photographs in Washington Square park make me think of Cindy Sherman’s early cinema stills or Walker Evans in Cuba in the 1940’s or Robert Frank’s The Americas.

Sorry folks, looks like I made a mistake last week! Funny Face was not the Audrey Hepburn film playing last week at the Loft Cinema, it was the 1954 film Sabrina, starring Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. Tonight is Funny Face, the 1957 film version of George Gershwin’s musical with Hepburn and Fred Astaire. It starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are regular admission.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and a few of Tucson’s theaters are delivering up the goods for you and your special someone. Over at the Loft you can check out the 1971 cult classic Harold and Maude, starring Bud Cort as a morose young man and Ruth Gordon as a senior citizen bursting with life. Not only is it one of the best love stories on celluloid, but I often forget how funny this film is. Good luck with getting the Cat Stevens soundtrack out of your head for the next few days! The film starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are regular admission.

If you’re a couple that fancies yourselves as a modern day Bonnie & Clyde, might I suggest you check out True Romance at the Loft, also playing on Valentine’s Day. Released in 1993, True Romance was directed by action-film auteur Tony Scott with a script by a then white-hot Quentin Tarantino. This was a year before Pulp Fiction and two years after Reservoir Dogs. True Romance stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as a young, pop-culture obsessed couple on the run from all sorts of seedy types. Going along for the ride are Dennis Hopper as Slater’s rent-a-cop dad, Christopher Walken as a terrifying hitman for the Mob, Brad Pitt as a stoner who never leaves the couch, Val Kilmer as the ghost of Elvis/Slater’s moral conscious, and Gary Oldman as a scene-stealing psychotic pimp. True Romance starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $6 and $5 for Loft members. There’s a repeat performance at the same time on Saturday, Feb. 15. For further information, visit loftcinema.com or call 795-0844.

Over at the Fox Theatre, they’re rolling out When Harry Met Sally, the 1989 romantic comedy starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. Shhhhhhh… I have a secret. I don’t think I’ve actually seen this movie. I’ve never been a fan of Crystal, but I hear it’s pretty good. You can judge for yourself or see it again at 7:30 p.m. Visit foxtucsontheatre.org or call 624-1515 for more information.

A Tucson man's body was found in the freezer of a Kansas City home, according to an Associated Press story published by The Arizona Republic this morning. Here's the full report:

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Police say a frozen body discovered last week in Kansas City, Kan., was an Arizona truck driver who was reported missing in October.

The body of 53-year-old Lawrence Peter Muirhead was found Sunday inside a freezer in a detached garage behind a home in Kansas City, Kan.

Police said Thursday his death is considered a homicide.

Muirhead’s family reported him missing Oct. 1 when he didn’t return home to Tucson after a trip to Pennsylvania. Relatives said their last contact with him was Sept. 28.

The truck he was driving was found abandoned Oct. 4 in Merriam.

Kansas City, Kan., police haven’t said how Muirhead died.

And the video from KMBC News 9:

We love covers done well, and today's viral video nails it. Miche Braden and her band covered Guns N Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine for Scott Bradley's Post Modern Jukebox. I never seen this in a video description before, but Braden's voice was so powerful "that the room literally shook" at the 3:58 mark. I want to hear more from this band; thankfully, the track is available for purchase on the Twist is the new Twerk album on iTunes.

Would you be mad if your cover story was taken by dead guy?

Rolling Stone promised Drake this month cover, but switched him for the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman without telling the rap phenom before going to press. Obviously, this is the last thing the actor/singer needs before he goes on tour in Europe.

Naturally, Drake spoke his mind on Twitter, but Gawker caught the tweets before he could delete his raw feelings:

I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue.

I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.

I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately.

Drake, if you're reading this, you have a cover story with the Weekly waiting for you. Just say the word. But if a local, beloved Tucson celebrity dies, we might have to reschedule.
