Sometimes it's just destiny...

I read this article about a guy who was arrested for indecent exposure here in my local area the other day and just had to laugh. Here give it a read:

ROCK HILL A North Carolina man faces indecent exposure charges after police say he was found without pants on taking pictures of himself Monday afternoon in the
parking lot of Sears at the Galleria Mall in Rock Hill.
The 47-year-old man, who lives on Naked Creek Road in Conover, N.C., was charged with indecent exposure after a man riding his bike to Walmart on Dave Lyle Boulevard alerted police, according to a Rock Hill police report.When police arrived, the man wasn't wearing anything on the lower half of his body, the report states. When officers asked why he wasn't wearing pants, he responded "I was trying to get a tan," the report states.

It seems that sometimes life is just full of ironic destiny isn't it? A man arrested for indecent exposure lives on Naked Creek Road. I had a little chuckle and I hope you do too.

Is there anything that can make this story even better? Of course there is... The reporter's name who wrote up the story? Kimberly Dick.

Stuff I have read in the news lately that I thought I would share:

-So you think you have a drinking problem? I know somebody who just might. Meet Laura Hall who at 20 has the distinction of being the first person ever banned from every bar and pub in all of England and Wales. Umm just my opinion but if your partying antics are so legendary that the police know about you and have to ban you from all bars in the whole country before you are even 21 you might need to seek some help.

-Everyone has heard of the Donner Party right? The folks who legend says resorted to cannibalism to stay alive during their move from Illinois to California during the harshest winter ever on record. Maybe that was just an Urban (or rural) legend all along says this article about research done at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.

-Here is an article about a recipe book that has Penguin publishers in Australia very embarrassed after a missed typo suggesting that a pasta dish required "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of freshly ground pepper. Umm hire a better proofreader guys.


-By now I bet most of you have heard about the guy in England who got arrested for DUI driving a pink Barbie kids car.

-One more mugshot for you... This is Julie Root a candidate for mother of the year who was arrested for child neglect when her sons were found outside playing in the rain wearing only their diapers. Umm Julie I think you heart the hippy lettuce just a little bit too much. Put down the ganja and TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS DAMMITT!!!!

-Last but not least you have to check out this article in which an Iranian cleric spells out exactly why there seem to be so many earthquakes recently. Promiscuous women of course. It's all you ladies fault (hee hee bad pun intended) that the earth is angry. Quit being such hoochies. Actually I was wondering if this was the case that bimbos cause earthquakes then why hasn't Hollywood fallen into the ocean yet?

Until next time keep reading the news!

Before I go running off on vacation I figured I would leave you with some stuff I have read in the news lately:

-In the spirit of Good Friday here is a story about how paintings of the Last Supper are showing the food being served has been supersized over the past one thousand years. So let me guess next they are going to try and blame childhood obesity on Jesus. Yeesh.

-A kind of gross story here about a woman accused of assaulting a police deputy by squirting her breast milk in his face. Eww.

-A strange story here about an elderly couple in Brooklyn NY who claim that the police have raided their house over 50 times for no reason. Odd, apparently a bunch of criminals have given out their address.

-I love this article about a filmmaker in South Carolina who made a parody movie called "The Hills have Thighs" and sold it to Showtime then was surprised when instead of playing his film the network showed a porn movie by the same title. Duh your movie was called "The Hills Have Thighs" (oh BTW the way the guy's name is Bubba and he used to be a SC state lawmaker.) I swear I am not making it up.

-Last one... This one was sent to me by the Mt. Cat who lives near this freak. According to this news article the reign of terror caused by the serial urinator is over. Yes this nasty dude Nitinkuma Patel apparently has a fetish for walking up to random women and peeing on them. Yuck! Well he has been arrested and it's almost fitting that the officer that caught him is named Mike Meyers because "The Serial Urinator" sounds like a criminal straight out of an Austin Powers movie. Officer Meyers' quote, " Patel was caught wearing "gray sweatpants with 'a large wet spot around his crotch area." Enjoy trying that in jail there buddy.

Until next time keep reading the news!

Oops, This was Not A Good Idea

The playground pictured to the right is in a New York City's Bedford-Stuyvesant section in a public housing project. The jungle gym features bars and a door with a bright orange jail motif. It even says JAIL directly over the door. Now I want to know who thought it was a good idea to have kids playing in jail before they even had a chance to commit any crimes. This is a minority neighborhood and as you can imagine residents were upset. One lady even says that several times she painted over the Jail sign only to have it repainted by city workers repeatedly over a period of 8 years. It wasn't until a news article pointing out the inappropriateness of the children's playground that the city agreed to take it down.
I wanted to know if you all know of any other inappropriate things like this that were meant for children to play with? Tell me what you've got!

Stuff I have read in the news recently:

-My favorite is this little news item about the Anheuser-Busch company suing small company called Baby Beer Bottles for making exactly that. Beer bottles for babies. While I find this humorous I guess the Anheuser-Busch folks didn't like them selling a bottle called "Bunwiper" HA!

-Did you hear about this? One of Michael Jackson's nephews apparently bought a taser online and was chasing Blanket around with it. I can't make this stuff up you guys!

-By now I am sure you heard about one of the worst ideas for take your children to work day. Yep the Air traffic control tower at JFK airport is not the best place for kids. If you haven't heard about it give the article a read. An air traffic controller at JFK had his son on the headset giving clearance to taxi and takeoff to planes.

-Here is an article I found oddly creepy. It's about a convicted serial killer who actually was the winner on the 70's game show The Dating Game. Ummm bachelor # 1 do you like rape and murder?

-I know what Snooki has been doing in her spare time. Knitting!

-Be careful if you tell someone in a movie theater to stop talking on their cell phone. You might get stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer. I still can't figure out why someone would have a meat thermometer in a movie theater unless it was to check exactly how freaking cold they had the AC turned down there. I have heard someone say "That theater felt like a meat locker" before.

Until next time Keep reading the news!

Colorado Can't Handle Puppet Cleavage

I just had to post this one. Heard this morning about Colorado refusing to put billboards and posters for the Broadway Show Avenue Q because of the overt puppet cleavage in its ad. I have found a picture of the ad and just had to post it.

Are we as a society wound so tight that we can't even take the joke involving puppet cleavage? Apparently in Colorado Springs they are.
Now I certainly haven't seen this show Avenue Q but from reading about it I have found that the character portrayed is called 'Lucy the Slut.' I am willing to bet this play is Hilarious and it seems to be a take off on Sesame Street where they deal with real life issues such as drinking, dating, and Internet porn. It also has characters named Christmas Eve and Gary Coleman. I must see this play!
Has anyone seen this? I would be interested to hear how it was. I also want to hear what you think about the billboards being censored. And what exactly is wrong with cleavage anyway? LOL!

I Love the Poop Out of You

Oh yes Sunday was Valentines Day and there was love in the air. In the Minnesota town of Albert Lea you couldn't miss the smell of love in the air because that is where farmer Bruce Andersland chose to show his wife exactly how much he loves her by giving her a very special Valentine. The gift that just doesn't stop giving. The gift of manure.
Yes that old romantic Bruce chose to show his love for his wife by making her a half mile wide valentine on his farm made entirely out of cow poop. Oh how romantic!
You can see it here in the snow. Awwww look there is even a poopy arrow right through the center. How pungently perfect!
At least Mrs. Andersland enjoyed the Valentines day poop-prise and didn't accuse her husband of giving her a crappy gift. Some woman just have their priorities right. Because if your husband gives you a half a mile pile of dung for Valentines Day and you can't appreciate it then your marriage just may be in the crapper.

Here's hoping your Valentines Day didn't stink.

I have found the worst Mayor of the Year

You guys know from time to time I come across articles and odd news stories that fascinate and surprise me that I just have to share. Oh I have found one this time. I figured this guy needed his very own post instead of just an entry in hitting the high notes.

Let me present to you Mayor (well former mayor anyway) Ian Stafford of Knott End in Lancashire England. This gentleman from across the pond deserves special recognition and I must nominate him as the worst mayor of the year. (possibly worst ever except for that whole Marian Berry thing in DC)

A few days ago Mr. Stafford stepped down as mayor because he was caught on video breaking into women's homes in the area and stealing their underwear. Yep that looks bad, sounds bad and is bad.... but worst mayor of the year worthy? Not yet. Oh but there's more.

Mr. Stafford (pictured here to the right) took his little perversion one step further... Yes as you may have guessed by now former Mayor Stafford was not just stealing the undies but also taking the time to use them for a bit of self pleasure. Now I don't know about you all but that is pretty creepy. He got caught after the video footage surfaced and the cops raided his home. They found over $1000 of ladies "knickers" in plastic bags with the women's names on them... Helloooo Uncle Creepy! I guess that he wanted to "relive" his little perversion from time to time.

Take a look. He even kind of looks like a perv doesn't he?

In a tiny bit of justice his sentence was handed down by a female judge.... I bet she checked her dresser drawer to make sure she wasn't missing any. BTW - One final aside. There is no truth to persistent rumors that Mayor Stafford is related to our fellow blogger Four Dinners. Love ya buddy....

I know you guys have a comment or two about this...

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone. Time again for the round up of odd news stories and various other things that I have read recently. The past two Friday's we have had guest posts so it's been a little while. I have also decide to participate in Happy Hour Friday over on RxBambi's blog. Please stop by and pay her a visit for a drink:


OK so here we go:

-First off you really have to check out this video of a British female bobsledder who has a sort of unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. Well I guess depending on your point of view... LOL.

-Tell me if this is a good idea or not? Holiday Inn has decided to start adding a real touch of personal service in it's London hotels. Human Bed warmers. Yes you read that correct. If you don't like climbing into a cold bed then holiday inn will send one of it's staffers to your room dressed head to toe in fleece to lay in your bed to warm it up for you. Yep not making it up. Would you really want someone coming in and warming your bed for you?


-Here is some good news... Burger King is getting ready to start serving beer at some of it's restaurants. I guess they know their target demographics.

-This article will infuriate you. It's about an elementary school teacher arrested for creating a "Fight Club" at his school and encouraging kids as young as 9 to beat each other up. Can you say lawsuit?

-Here is a news story that I just find funny. Wisconsin man arrested for "Rocking out" to John Denver.

-With all the Super Bowl news this week I ran across a little nugget. According to this article we now know who all the strippers at Rick's Cabaret are pulling for in the Super Bowl. Jeremy Shockey and the Saints. I guess Peyton Manning doesn't spend his nights tucking $20s into g-strings.


-One last one here. This one is for the Mt. Cat. It seems as though according to this article that haggis is going to try and make a comeback here in the US where it is banned. I can't think of anything much more gross than sheep's innards stuffed inside it's stomach and served to eat. Mt. Cat on the other hand apparently enjoys this and has eaten it at the restaurant in the article... I say keep the ban.

Until next time keep reading and enjoying the news. Enjoy Happy Hour Friday everyone.

A Texas Sized Sex Ed Talk

The old adage is that everything is bigger in Texas. Apparently that holds true when it comes to the sex education in the schools there as well. Yesterday while scanning for odd news stories I came across several stories about a motivational speech gone awry.
It seems that a member of the school board in Hitchcock (yes ironically I said Hitchcock) Texas was invited to give a motivational speech to 6th - 8th grade girls at the middle school there. The speaker, Dr. Shirley Price had heard that the girls were being pressured to have sex and decided to ask the school's principal to leave the room so she could discuss the topic with the girl's in private. The discussion seems to have started with a public discussion about the use of the word "bitch" and escalated from there.
Some of what was said and discussed is in debate and has been denied by the speaker but various news reports say that graphic discussions describing how to perform oral and anal sex and role playing situations where boys may try to pressure the girls into performing these acts. Dr. Shirley helped to explain and even role play these situations with the girls and included the phrasing “what is said in here stays in here.”
Understandably parents are upset. Not only were parents not notified ahead of time to allow their children to be excused if they felt that the sex ed talk was inappropriate but now they are having to do damage control about some of the things that were said.
Don't get me wrong, I feel that sex ed is a valuable educational tool and that parents should talk to their kids about sex. However I think that parents should be able to determine how and where this discussion takes place. Sex Ed can take place in a more clinical manner than a speaker discussing oral and anal sex and role playing the same. The speaker is now apologizing publicly but wants to speak to the girls again to apologize again in person. Ummm I don't think so.
What do you think? What is your opinion on how sex ed should take place in the schools? What is and what isn't appropriate? Comment and let me know your take.

Stuff I have read about recently:

-Back in 1920 who would have ever thought that someday Canada would have to change the name of it's national pastime's magazine called "The Beaver" about the fir trade because Internet filters think it's about porn? Did they even have porn back in 1920? Anyway if you are a subscriber to "The Beaver" look for future publications to be called "Canada's History."


-The new list of words that should be banned from the English language is out from Lake Superior State University. Included are tweeting, teachable moment, toxic assets, shovel-ready, unfriended, any new czar, sexting, and anything that starts with Obama- such as Obamacare and Obamanomics. Now I have heard of most of these but not sure about sexting. If any woman knows what this is and wants to teach me about it I will be glad to give you my cell #. LOL!

-Did you all hear about this drunk driver in South Dakota with a blood-alcohol level of 0.708 percent ? Isn't that legally dead? Her mugshot is here to the right... YIKES she even looks like she should be dead.

-If you are thinking about pulling a practical joke let me just tell you this. It is a really bad idea in these days of Nancy Grace and Amber alerts to pull a prank by driving your 12 year old daughter down the road in your truck bound and gagged with duct tape. Idiot.

-One last one. This is a great story about the wife of one of Britain's parliamentary representatives from Northern Ireland whose wife Iris who is 60 just got caught having an affair with a 19 year old friend of the family. Talk about a Cougar! What's the ironic part of this story? Their last name is Robinson. Iris truly is Mrs. Robinson!

-Oh yes and I stole the Idea for Megan Fox Naked from my buddies Matt-Man and Jayman. Let the Hits roll in!

Later!

OK let's close out the year with one final look at some odd news stories I have found in the past few weeks:

-Just had to share this one: Here is a quote from a Charlotte Observer online article about Tara Reid's Playboy Cover. "Um, Tara? We're very sorry about your botched plastic surgery, but we're not sure the way to show the world that you're okay is to be on the cover of Playboy sporting clown boobs and raccoon eyes and looking like you have to pee." HA! Sounds exactly like I wrote it but I didn't. Credit goes to someone named Andrea Reiher.

-You may want to think twice before sending your kid to this daycare. The owners were busted for selling moonshine right out of the area where the kids were kept. They confiscated 86 gallons of the hooch. Oh and by the way the owners say they were set up. Sure you were... You just keep on believing that!

-Nothing terribly exciting in this story about a couple of snatch and grab burglars at our local Tiffany store other than the name of one of the robbers. His name Dean Patrick Griswold. It seems that around Christmastime there is always something going on with the Griswolds. I think when you are blessed (or cursed) with the name Griswold you certainly have something to live up to in life. It seems Dean Patrick certainly is doing his part.

- What should we do to save the environment? Use "green" vibrators of course! The article details how the sex toy industry uses tons of batteries that make toxic waste and so an Irish company tho has created green vibrators. "You just flip out the handle, grab a hold of it there, and you just wind it," said Janice O'Connor, the co-founder with her husband Chris, of Caden Enterprises which makes the gadget.
"So for four minutes of doing that, you should generate enough power to give you 30 minutes of full-on, right-to-the top vibrations," she told AFP.
She added: "I've only used it a couple of times, and it's fantastic. It's very intense, and sometimes, at the top level, depending on the person that's using it, it can actually be too intense sometimes. So ladies, are you ready to switch for 2010?

-Finally another Charlotte story about our local politician idiot Bill James. This guy is famous here locally for his intolerance of others and he may have gone over the top this time. During a County commission meeting where same sex partner benefits were being debated another commissioner whose son had died of AIDS was speaking. After she was finished this guy Bill James had the nerve to ask. "Your son was a homo, really?" At first he tried to deny it but it was caught on tape. I mean for real, no matter what your stance on the matter is that is just plain classless.

OK that's hitting the high notes for now... We will be back in 2010 with plenty of other odd news and morons doing stupid stuff. Enjoy!

Things I have read in the news recently that I thought might interest you:

-How would you like being adopted and later finding out that your father is Charles Manson? As someone who was adopted I figure that my reaction would be just about as strong as poor Matthew Roberts did. Yikes!

-You say that you don't know who Sarah Henderson is? Well I didn't either until I read this article. It seems that Sarah's daddy Fritz is newly resigned (or fired) CEO of General Motors and she is really not happy about it. And I mean really. What was her response? She took to facebook and posted a profanity laced tirade that would make Richard Pryor proud on GM's own fan page! Give it a read it's hilarious and sounds just like a spoiled teenage girl ranting. I think she is even trying to be funny by using the word 'shift' in an interesting way. Either that or she was drunk and can't type. Which is possible too.

-Apparently raging bulls injured people on the set of Tom Cruise's new movie being filmed in Spain. The Spanish government has shut down filming citing safety concerns. My question is this. Since when is Spain concerned about safety when bulls are running loose and have they ever thought about shutting down Pamplona?

-Here is a local story from Charlotte, NC about a new high school they will be building. What is so odd about this you ask? Well there is a huge controversy because of who they want to name the school after. No they aren't trying to name it after Jesse Helms, this school is meant to honor a principal named W.A. Hough Jr. who was instrumental in the integration of the schools. The controversy come in with parents who are worried that that their children will be made fun of because their kids may be going to "Ho High." Even though this Principal's name is pronounced "Huff." Seriously people get a life.

-Wanna see Paula Deen get hit in the head with a ham?

-OK wrapping things up with a story of small town corruption. Nothing newsworthy here you say? I say dig a little deeper. Remember back to 1994 when Susan Smith claimed that a black man kidnapped her two children when in fact she had drowned them in a lake? The case was national news and one of the main figures was Sheriff Howard Wells who basically broke the case and got Susan to confess. He was hailed as a hero at the time. Oh how times have changed. It seems that the good sheriff is in trouble with the feds for among other things tax evasion. And I always thought he was a good guy.

Until next time... keep reading the news!

Celebrity Body parts you want or don't want

I saw this article online about people requesting to have their bodies changed to resemble those of celebrities . It lists the top 8 celebrity body parts that people admire about celebrities and this got me to thinking. I know all about why men may want Matthew McConaughey's chest and abs or women may want Angelina Jolie's lips or Kim Kardashian's butt. Even Jessica Simpson's breasts make the list. It just makes sense that people may want to emulate famous attractive people. Plastic surgery may be a bit extreme way of going about it but hey different strokes for different folks.

We here at YJKOBT have a slightly different take on this phenomena as you might imagine. Instead of the top most wanted celebrity body parts how about the Top NOT Requested celebrity body parts. For instance I would imagine that even though David Beckham has the most requested male legs that there aren't too many people going into their surgeon's office and requesting Michael Moore's legs. I am pretty sure that people haven't been flocking to their oral surgeon and requesting the "Amy Winehouse look" for this new year coming up.

If Angelina Jolie's lips are at the top of the list then Mick Jagger's have to be way down at the bottom next to Andy Roomey's eyebrows and Barak Obama's ears. Ther are a ton of them out there, so I want to hear from you guys. What do you think? What would be some of the celebrity body parts that people would be least likely ask their plastic surgeons to replicate? Give me your ideas in the comments and don't hold back. The funnier and more outrageous the better.

First of all a big thank you to all our Veterans on Veterans Day. The service you have given can never be fully re payed

Now on with my take on the news:

-So you want to send your kid to Duke University for the quality education huh? How would you feel about your daughter participating in a University funded study on the effects of sex toy parties on students attitudes about sex? As if college students weren't already in enough of a sexually charged atmosphere as it is lets introduce them to sex toy parties! Does anyone else think this might be a bad idea?

-On Sunday a deer got into the lions den at the Washington National Zoo in front of visitors including children and they got a lesson in what the wild is really all about. The deer did put up a good fight for survival and to be fair the lions did not actually eat it.

-It seems like the folks at Kraft foods don't like getting no for an answer. The US Food maker of such treats as Oreos and Miller Beer is making a hostile takeover bid for British candy maker Cadbury. Apparently somebody at Kraft reaaaaaly likes those nasty Creme Eggs.

-Speaking of Candy. Connecticut is experiencing a serious crime wave recently. Instead of robbing banks or liquor stores apparently the serious hard core gangstas in that area are into stealing chewing gum at an alarming pace. Rumor is that the Double mint twins are scared to visit Connecticut for fear of being kidnapped.

-Here is a quote from disgraced former beauty pageant and same sex marriage opponent Carrie Prejean taken from the Today Show :
“There is an extreme double standard that conservative women are under attack for whatever it is,” Prejean told Vieira. “If Sean Hannity went out there and said some of the things that Keith Olbermann has said about me, if he says anything about [Sonia] Sotomayor, Michelle Obama, he would be off the air. Why is there this double standard?" - Ummm Carrie ya know the difference is that Justice Sotomayor is well a like you know Supreme court Justice and Michelle Obama well like umm she is the like First Lady of the US and junk and you well you are a sanctimonious hypocritical former Miss California who thinks that anyone who disagrees with your prehistoric views on gay marriage is out to get you. Trust me if Sotomayor or Obama had made a sex tape they would be much bigger news than you.

-Amazing story here about a teenager who got stuck on an ice floe with three polar bears. He was trapped there for over a day on the freezing ice with them after his snowmobile broke down.... Good thing he had a gun.

-I read today where we had some hikers get arrested for espionage in Iran. The question I had was when did hikers all of a sudden become international spies? Because didn't we just have to send Slick Willy over to North Korea to free a couple of hikers a couple of months ago who got arrested for the same thing? Hiking has gotten kind of a bad rap recently hasn't it? Didn't SC Governor Mark Sanford try to say that he was hiking when he was really really South of the border? Hiking seem to pretty dangerous stuff these days. I guess if you plan to go hiking you better take several kinds of protection with you.

Until Next time...

Something is Fishy about this Story

I saw this story here locally and figured I would share because I find it amusing. Meet David Hayes of Wilkes county, NC who just caught himself a state record channel catfish that weighed over 21 pounds. Now you might say that there is nothing really odd about this (especially in Wilkes County) however this story has a bit of a twist. Call it a Barbie twist if you will. You see it seems that David was fishing along with his three year old granddaughter who was using her Barbie fishing rod. Who knew they even made such a thing? Well the granddaughter asked him to hold her rod and then BAM! The catfish hits and David spends the next 25 minutes trying to reel in this monster fish which turns out to be almost 3 pounds larger than the previous record.
Does anyone else think this is fishy? First of all what kind of fishing line are they rigging on Barbie fishing poles these days that they could handle such a fish? Second how on earth was he able to land that thing without breaking the pole. I don't know how many of you have caught large fish but they put up a heck of a fight. There are regular bass rods out there that the fish would have broken in two. I think this guy was just trying to get some publicity for his state record. It's interesting alright but I am calling this one a tall fish tale. What do you think?

Meet Princess Chunk

BLACKWOOD, N.J. - Talk about New Jersey's fat cats. A 44-pound feline was found waddling around Saturday without a collar in Voorhees, and officials at the Camden County Animal Shelter hope she gets a nice — hopefully, diet-friendly — home.

"She's built like a quarterback," said Deborah Wright, a shelter volunteer and current foster owner of the kitty. "I mean, how do you lose a 44-pound cat?!"

Shelter officials are calling the porky cutie "Princess Chunk."

"I'm about to put a leash on her and walk her," said Wright. "She could pass for a dog!"

Good Grief... Somebody help this poor cat! Vince you could use a pet couldn't you?

The Tale of Lonesome George the Tortoise

Last week we learned about Lucky the koala so this week I wanted to bring you another animal story. Here we find lonesome George the Galapagos giant tortoise. Kind of like Lucky the news media is getting involved in his personal life because it seems that Ole George has finally started getting frisky now that he is over 60 years of age. Apparently he is the last of a whole species of tortoises but he has never wanted to breed with his two female companions during the last 36 years until now. He has finally done the deed and is going to have some kids. YAY for George. Here is the thing, once again the people are busy just putting George's business out there for the rest of the world to read. In this story they go so far as to say that they thought George was impotent (or gay) because they went so far as to include this line: "After trying almost everything from artificial insemination to having George watch younger males mate, his keepers had nearly lost hope." Come on now did ya'll really have to go there and try to shame ole George into mating by making him watch young tortoise porn?
This is the second week in a row that the news media is taking us too far into the sex lives of poor animals and I am calling out the hypocrisy. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS ! I am going to form a group to help out these poor animals who the media keeps exploiting because they cannot speak up for themselves and I suggest you all join. This new group will be called KABOOM! (Keep Animal's Business Out Of the Media!) This group will explode onto the scene and we will strive to point out animal business hypocrisy wherever we see it. Please join with me in the fight to help protect these animals who have no one else to stand up for them. If you see the media putting an animal's business out there then call them out on it! Together we can make a difference. Thank you.

The incredible tale of Lucky the koala

Ladies and gents meet Lucky. Lucky is a koala who was recently named Australia's luckiest marsupial after a heck of a wild ride. It seems that poor lucky got hit by a car recently and got his head wedged in the car's grill and was dragged at 60 mph down the road for about 8 miles. Lucky survived because another motorist flagged down the oblivious driver and was then rescued by being cut out of the grill by scissors.
"To have him survive and virtually unscathed is quite miraculous," Australian Wildlife Hospital spokeswoman Carolyn Beaton told Reuters.
Now if that had been all of the story it would have been great and a happy ending but they had to take the story one step further and kill poor Lucky's joy. The last sentence of the story reads as follows and I promise I am not making this up:
Lucky will stay at the hospital, set up by the late television wildlife and crocodile crusader Steve Irwin, for 45 days to recover from his experience and receive treatment for a chlamydial infection.
Now why did they have to do that to poor Lucky? He barely escapes with his life and not only does he have to go to some crocodile hospital but the news has to report that the poor guy has a STD. Why did they have to throw him under the bus like that? (I know poor metaphor right) Couldn't they just leave well enough alone without pointing that fact that ole Lucky apparently got lucky with the wrong lady koala? What's next? Is he going to need therapy to recover from the trauma of having his business splashed on the front page? Or is he going to end up in rehab after getting addicted to the painkillers? Oh well, I guess poor Lucky just can't catch a break.
