The most weird or stupid news story you heard today.

[tld221]

Ok two stupid news stories in the span of 30 seconds.

1. Woman gets arrested for prostitution. She got upset with her john because he didn't have any money, but offered her a 30-pack case of snack size lays chips. She took it. She got arrested. He walks free.

Seriously? Are times that hard? You hit one rung with actual prostitution (though it does have its longevity and you can make your own hours...), but then you sexed for snacks? What were you gonna do with assorted chips? Sure can't pay your rent.

2. Woman sues General Mills (or maybe its Post?) because Crunch Berries don't contain real berries. She's suing for 4 years worth of cereal buying.

--crunch cereal should be eaten sparingly after the age of like 14. Like once a month if that. You been buying it consistently for 4 years???
--really? Berries? The food has a mascot. Its the captain of an onomatopeic cereal. Were you really going for nutritional value?

Why did she think the Berries in Crunch Berries cereal were real?

People, unless the cereal contains actual dried fruit, you are eating a mixture of Kool-aid and cereal dough.

Probably because the box didn't read Crunch Berries*, followed by a disclaimer in fine print.

Or should it have said Crunch "Berries"?

My thing is, the "berries" are pink, blue and purple. Raspberries, blueberries and... (I don't know what verry is purple-ish) are nowhere near the colors/dyes used. And 4 years of eating it? The texture is the same as the rest of the cereal.

According to the article, she couldn't make calls from her phone.
I don't twitter so I don't know, but can you tweet to 911? (Is that the right way to put it? "Tweet to?")

Yes, "send a tweet to 911" is correct

Twitter is basically like Facebook status updates that other people (followers) can read. So if, for example, you're following my page and I say "the bank is being robbed," you can see the update and call 911 on my behalf.

Hope that made sense.
