A facebook application has been removed from the site after public outcry that people could stab each other as a Super poke action.
Other actions include smiling at, sending a bouquet to, and the original and now old school poke. However, other options are now to smack, spit at, and ‘shank’ which is illustrated by an icon of a knife. Members could use the blade icon to deliver the “attack” to any friend or stranger who has a profile. The victim then receives a message saying they have been ‘shanked.’
With 21 teenagers murdered in London alone this year, and most attacks involving knives, the game did not seem appropriate for any site, especially one so widely used. This super poke option has now been removed from the application and makers Slide have admitted the icon was in bad taste.
Jordan told where to go
Jordan was barred yesterday from mingling with the upper classes, when she was turned away from the invitation-only area of the Cartier International event at a posh polo match after turning up and being told her name wasn’t on the list so she wasn’t coming in.
She then tried to book a £6,000 table for ten at the China White marquee only to be informed her presence was not welcome.
Last night her agent confirmed: “It’s a big shock. Katie is incredibly upset.”
Stars who were allowed into the event included Rosamund Pike, Emma Watson, Natalie Imbruglia, Dita Von Teese, Lady Victoria Hervey, and Caprice.
In other news…

* Bono has been asked by Brad and Ange to be godfather to their new twins. The Pitts will make plans for a christening in the coming weeks. They have yet to agree on a godmother, but insiders suggest that Angelina wants to ask her ex-lover Jenny Shimzu to take on the role.
