But occasionally we come across a story in which there is such an important lesson to be learned, for the good of our readers we feel compelled to bring it to you even if it does not involve someone from "The Hills" or a curvy Kardashian.

According to News of the World, Brit Dominic Baronet, 26, is a Facebook menace.

Do not "friend" Dominic, ladies, although it's unlikely he could scrape together the cash to cross the pond. And why should he? He's got plenty of British boobs to choose from.

News of the World has branded Dominic The Sperminator because of his willingness and ability to impregnate women whom he's met on the social networking site.

Overall, he's worked his bedroom magic on a DOZEN women - two of them on the SAME DAY.

See, it's not just your computer that needs protection.

News of the World says five women are now raising his kids, two are expecting his kids and five more had their pregnancies terminated.

As for Dominic, he's clearly daddy material - being a convicted drug dealer.

One of his recent conquests, Kerry Martin, told News of the World: "Dominic should have a danger warning slapped on his Facebook page and be given a compulsory vasectomy to protect other girls."

Huh? It's not like Dominic got you pregnant without your participation.

How about not having unprotected sex with a slimeball you just met on Facebook?

Internet commerce update

A federal judge has temporarily blocked two music-sharing Web sites from selling songs by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Coldplay, Lily Allen and other artists for 25 cents apiece.

Judge John F. Walter last week blocked the sites BlueBeat.com and Basebeat.com and owner Hank Risan from selling the artists' copyrighted songs. Music company EMI Group filed a federal lawsuit last week seeking an injunction against the sites, claiming they were engaging in music piracy.

EMI claims the Web sites have infringed on its copyrights to the artists' songs. Its complaint states BlueBeat.com and Basebeat.com were offering the recently released digital remasters of The Beatles catalog for 25 cents per song.

The Web sites' attorney opposed EMI's injunction request, saying the sites are selling an altered version of the songs.

In an e-mail earlier this month to the Recording Industry Association of America's general counsel, Risan described the songs as a "psychoacoustic simulation" rather than the original, copyrighted works.

Asked to explain the concept, Risan replied, "Psychoacoustic simulations are my synthetic creation of that series of sounds which best expresses the way I believe a particular melody should be heard as a live performance."

Oo-bla-di oo-bla-da life goes on. . . .
