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?")

When I heard about this a few days ago... I had a very WTF reaction.

I mean.. it's a 4 year old washing a puppy in the bathroom... what water sources can he reach? Toilet.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8101818.stm

I should probably say it's about a boy flushing a puppy.

Police investigate 'spanking' between newlyweds

http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/s....813893c1.html

COEUR D'ALENE -- A Coeur d'Alene woman says she is embarassed by a police report recently filed by her mother-in-law, in which a sex game beween her and her husband was investigated by officers.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, told KREM 2 News she and her husband are newly married, and recently moved into his parents' Coeur d'Alene home.

According to the police report, on Wednesday evening, the woman's mother-in-law heard "slapping" sounds coming from the couple's bedroom, and the garage.

After leaving the garage, the mother-in-law told police her daughter-in-law "hung her head and appeared to be sad and ashamed," while her son refused to say what the couple was doing.

Officers say the woman asked her son again the next morning, and he replied that he was spanking his wife, something he does "when she needs to be punished" or "when she gets out of line or lacks respect."

Worried about physical abuse, the woman called Coeur d'Alene Police. Officers told the woman to contact them again if a similar situation occurs again.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Holy crap I wonder if I know these people?

Good for the mother-in-law to side with the daughter-in-law in this circumstance. It takes a strong woman to go against her own flesh and blood.

As if South Carolina needs any more bad press, a woman videotaped a man having sex with her horse. Wait, it gets better. He had already been in jail for having sex with the same horse two years ago!

^^^ Yes, thanks! It makes much more sense now.

I remember reading an article a few months ago about a man who tweeted about a woman needing an ambulance. He asked his followers to ReTweet. So, if I correctly understand what you wrote above, the ReTweet would be to call 911, and not to respond to his tweet. Right?

A retweet is kind of like a forwarded e-mail. If you're following my page and retweet my message, your next update will read "the bank is being robbed" so your followers can see it.

Hodousek says they ordered drinks, appetizers and a couple of main courses from the server. Among the items ordered was a bowl of french onion soup.

After the server brought the soup to the table, Hodousek says he immediately began eating the cheese which was spread across the top portion of the bowl.

As he ate the soup, he felt what he believed was a tough piece of cheese on the side of his mouth. When he couldn't chew it into pieces, he told his family that it felt like rubber, according to the court filing.

Hodousek says he spit it out into his napkin, at which time his wife said, "Oh my God, it's a condom."
