Silly Parents, Beer Is (NOT) For Kids
Friday, July 22nd, 2011 • Filed under Drunks, Other • 1 Comment
Kids are trying to grow up WAY too fast these days. “Hi there, Susie. I like your purple hair streaks. And your seven-inch heels. And that’s a cool iPhone…did you get it for your sixth birthday?”
But while these things may be annoying (or enviable), at least they’re not dangerous. According to True Crime Report, a woman in Connecticut was caught giving her children alcohol. Police spotted the family at a local playground…but instead of playing like all the other kids, their 4 year-old son was drinking a 40-ounce of Steel Reserve beer. Witnesses say the mother likes telling the child to drink beer, then tease him for being an alcoholic. But it gets worse…after being tested, their 10 month-old daughter was found to have traces of alcohol and cocaine in her blood. I guess endless supplies of junk food and 6 hours of TV doesn’t seem so bad after all.
Stick It To The Man

Food for thought: Maybe the crime is completely acceptable, and it’s the LAW that’s ridiculous? That doesn’t happen often, but there’s definitely a chance. For example, if I go to Chicago, I could be arrested for flying a kite. But we’ve got a whole different website for that kind of stuff.
This poor lady in the economically depressed town of Oak Park, Michigan was arrested for growing a vegetable garden. She had wanted a cheaper, healthier way to provide food for her children, so she started growing some beans in the front yard. Apparently, this really ticked off the city-planner-person-boss-guy. He gave her a warning, then a ticket, and then a misdemeanor charge. But according to True Crime Report, she refused to back down, and might even be heading towards a trial. I’m guessing this is one of the few occasions where eating your vegetables might actually be bad for you.
Wax On, Wax Off

Wild animals are pretty scary. I mean, I’m sure not many of us have put “stampeding herd of buffalo” very high on our list of fears, but if there was one coming right at you, you’d probably be scared chip-less.
However, this Australian guy has developed more confidence than brain cells. After receiving his first degree in Chinese Kung Fu, he was convinced he could kill any animal with his bare hands. With this bit of knowledge having swelled up his ego, the man snuck into the Melbourne Zoo during the night and jumped right into the lion exhibit. According to ListVerse, the only evidence that this ever occurred were two hands found clenching red fur. Looks like we have ourselves a wannabe Chuck Norris.

Laziness is totally acceptable, to a certain extent. If you want to eat your seventh brownie instead of breaking out your new treadmill, that’s fine. If you want to play Callofdutyfourmodernwarfarefinesthourzombiesattackblackops before you start your AP Trig homework, then that’s okay, too. Laziness really isn’t all that bad…until the rare case when it becomes illegal.

I honestly believe that the universe allows every human being the opportunity to give one person the finger consequence free. Needless to say, this isn’t one of them.
A guy facing assault charges gave his judge the finger (yes that finger), according to the Daily Herald.

A word of warning: if you’re going to write a headline like that and need some art to accompany it, keep the “safe search” option in the “on” position on Google Images. It’ll save you a lot of headaches…and stomach aches.
A woman got busted for urinating on a police station, according to the AP.

A Bicycle Built for a Boob

Bike riding must be a hard sport. I say must because the only man-powered machine I operate on a daily basis is my television and my reclining leather chair. Maybe bikers aren’t that smart after all.
That would explain why this rider thought he could outrun the police on his little bicycle, according to the Lancashire Evening Post.
