As Odd Culture says…
You see, some families become successful in the business world, the stock market, real estate, doctors, lawyers, scientists. Other families win mullet competitions. Of course this came out of Jacksonville. Where else would it come from?
From the Camden County Tribune and Georgian:
Kingsland has a celebrity of sorts living within its royal walls; […]
This is incredible…
Tonight’s Los Angeles Political Roast raised $575,000 for the American Diabetes Association, but the 1,000 or so people who packed into a Century Plaza ballroom found a curious centerpiece at every table: a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.
Organizers said that it was a “joke”.

Voters know that the only boobs they get on election day are the ones running for office. Not so in Florida, where a Tampa politician is offering voters free admission to his strip club.
Joe Redner, who’s in a runoff for a city council seat, is offering free admission to his World Famous Mons Venus strip […]

This is a tale of a very stupid man. Like many stupid men his story ends with him getting a well-deserved tasering. Alexander Craig of Colorado Springs called 911 at least six times to tell them that he was drunk and dared the police to find him and […]
This is a real Los Angeles Times headline:
“Wi-Fi, strings attached, A wireless L.A. could prove to be a disconnect, leaving the poor and public spirit behind”
Barring San Francisco only a writer for the Times could position the reduction of the price of broadband to free to be harmful to poor people. Poor people, by definition, […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)Yes we are late on the story but since the woman giving birth didn’t even know she was pregnant we didn’t get any advance warning. Plus our Orange County stringer has been AWOL for months and missed yet another story right under his nose.
We actually learned about it from LA Observed’s coverage of […]
“Bailiff, give the defense attorney at good whack on the head.”
My guess is that they are tort plaintiff attorneys and criminal defense attorneys. (Complete photoset here). Moon doubts the photos will garner much sympathy in the U.S. where idiots like Mark Geragos and the crooks at Milberg Weiss have created an atmosphere of contempt for […]

When he was notified by his IS department that he was violating the firm’s rules about using a social network (let alone for 50% of his workday) he responded by putting it up on his Facebook […]
(click on post title, or here, for the rest)For many the concept of global warming is simply too obtuse of a concept to grasp until they see for themselves what happens when you take a frozen wasteland and raise the temperature up a few notches. Fortunately, the environmental experts at Testosterona have done exactly that.
The arctic is sizzling!

On exactly what planet did they think this would be a success?
Amazing that not a single person in marketing thought that this was a bad enough idea to get it killed somewhere along the development process.

From Marginal Revolution:
Advertising Age calculates that around $100 million has been spent blanketing billboards and magazines with images of Bono and other “celebrities”, while the total sum raised for Africa is $18 million.
Just to be clear… Total spent on making Bono more famous = $100 million.

In the last week alone, a teacher was caught SMS’ing cops for pot, a principal was caught in his office watching gay porn while sitting butt-ass naked, a lesbian teacher was arrested for fondling her students, and another one was found naked in a car with a 14-year old. No wonder kids are out of […]

Whereas pretty much any other city in the world (excluding Berkeley) would just trap the little varmits, Santa Monica […]

Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted loudly when asked what he thought of the president.
Hubert Hoffman, 45, was charged with “contempt for the office of the head of state” for his actions after he was stopped by police in a routine check at a Warsaw railway station.
He […]
As with many murder cases, once the legal wrangling between defense and prosecution shifts into high gear everyone forgets what the case is all about. In Holly Ashcraft’s trial, the fact is that she tossed one (and most likely two) newborns into trash dumpsters. Normally, there would be the victim’s family standing in front of […]
