Black Friday Texas Style

Another Black Friday new article by my good friend, thank you for the article. Well its Black Friday and stores have big sales going on, this story takes place in Texas ye-haw.

People were waiting in line to Sears for the bargains, a man tried to cut in line and ended up punching another customer. Sadly this customer had a gun with him and a permit to carry one, so this short story ends that Mr. Fight Club was hiding behind a refrigerator before he vacated the premises. The gun wielding man didn't receive any charges because he had a permit.

Well I guess there is a lesson here, don't go punching strangers just cause you want to cut in line. More specifically don't go punching strangers in general, because they could be the ones that carry guns. This time he just intimidated this dumbass Mr. Fight Club, but next time it could be more severe like shooting is involved. You never know if the stranger is a crazy guy, so keep your fisticuffs to yourself before you get shot.

51-inch Black Friday

Today I got this from my good friend, also today is Black Friday. This is a big sale in the US, many shops have bargains. In most cases that's a wonderful thing, but things sometimes take a turn for the worse.

This wonderful tale takes place in Springfield Massachusetts, a man had gone Black Friday bargain shopping. Sadly this man had forgotten his girlfriends 2-year-old toddler in a car,  he had gone to buy a 51-inch flatscreen television. Luckily the toddler was found in the car sleeping, he had been taken to a hospital as a precaution. The man had claimed he had lost the toddler, panicked he had called someone else for a ride. The police have not charged him yet, but the police expect to charge him with reckless endangerment to a child.

First I would like to know one thing, didn't this dumbass come to the store with the car that had the child in it. I would think so, so why would he leave that car and then get someone else to come pick him up. Was this fucking idiot so hard up getting to try his big new flatscreen that he forgot he had driven there, wouldn't it have been faster if he had driven home by himself. I don't know what the hell was wrong with this guy or why he even had the child with him in the first place, he should be charged reckless endangerment to a child. People do go crazy when there is a sale going on, they buy shit they don't really need only because its a bargain.

Topless Suspension

This article was given to me by my wonderful boyfriend, this is a nice one. In a school in US, there was a unfortunate incident. Four students were suspended from school after seeing a topless photos their teacher in class, the teachers own iPhone accidentally synced with the classes iPad's. This suspension has made the students parent furious, the school has taken action against the teacher.

Well my opinion on this is, why the fuck did the students get suspended. They didn't do anything wrong, they just clicked on a new photo on their iPad's. I can totally get why the parents are furious, I would be too if some school suspended my kid for something like this.
Its fine to have erotic photos on your smartphone and pad, but for fuck sake keep that to yourself. Especially don't let your students see them if you are a teacher, also don't get them suspended for your own dumbass fuck up. I still don't see how could the students were suspended over this, it wasn't their fault. The school should have gotten its facts straight before suspending anyone.

Paddle of Education

A Texas mother is furious with the punishment her daughter got at school, Taylor Santos a sophomore received punishment because she was accused of letting another student copy her classwork. She got a two day in-school suspension. After one day of suspension, Taylor didn't want to miss more classes. She went to the vice principal and agreed to a paddling, which is legal in Texas and 19 other states. Because of school policy, only males were allowed to spank male student and females were allowed to spank female students. Something went wrong, as the vice principal served the paddling to Taylor Santos. Taylor's mother was shocked at what had happened, Taylor had received such a hard spanking that there was considerable damage from the spanking.

Well what is my opinion, this is fucking crazy. What the hell kind of policy is this, to actually hit the children. To make this shit worse, they use a freaking paddle. If I had a kid and someone wanted to paddle or had paddled my kid, I would fucking either go kick their ass or sue their asses off. This whole thing seems insane, what do they expect to get out of this kind of punishment. I thought we had moved passed this sort of shit, but I guess some crazy assed dickheads still think that works. Also that fucking vice principal should be brought on charges of molestation of a minor or something like that, freaking asshole just wanted to touch her ass.

The REAL Project X

First I would like to apologize for my long absence, I just been a bit busy and my blog has take a backseat for the time being. Anyway I'm back here and I have something very nice to rant about, something my brother turned me to.

Some of you might have seen or heard of a movie called Project X, personally I have not seen it and will not see it. Basically three high school seniors want to throw a party of the century, they get their wish until the word of their party spreads. Things get out of control and its chaos, but this is just a movie and its a comedy.

Well now for the news, this takes place in a small Dutch town called Haren. A schoolgirl decided to send out a Facebook invitation to her "sweet" sixteen birthday party, but she failed to make said invitation private. The party was supposed to be a small one, but since the invitation wasn't private it went viral. Things started to get out of hand as people just kept showing up, eventually amounting to several thousands. Things got so bad that 600 riot officers were called in to get the situation under control, dozen's were arrested and there was damage done to the small town of Haren. The young sixteen year old had to be evacuated from her home, according to reports.

Now I get to give you my opinion on this, what the fuck was wrong with this stupid kid. Okay okay I know she couldn't have know something like this would happen, but still what the fuck. How fucking stupid do you have to be, learn to use your freaking Facebook. That's not so hard, there are webpages that teach you that, there are videos on YouTube that tell you how to use Facebook. Is she going to bare any responsibility for this riot she caused, of course she won't. Nobody can legally blame her, but they will fucking blame her none the less. Who will the shop owners go to who got vandalized and looted, or the car owners that had their cars destroyed. I guess insurance will pay them, but all this shit cause of her. I just can't stand this sort of shit, simple stupidity caused so much damage.

Go Go True Finns

Well some of you might have heard of the political party here in Finland called True Finns, basically they are the political party that wants Finland for the Finns. Yes they are the racist party here in Finland, they have been in the news more than once. This time congressman James Hirvisaari was caught making a very questionable remark about the gay people on a forum, comparing homosexuality to the mentally handicapped. As a result, criminal inspector Kari Kajala has filed police report that the congressman tried to incite ethnic agitation. The congressman has already been fined for trying to incite ethnic agitation against the Muslims, but he is not the only one from the True Finns political party that has been in the news about questionable remarks.

As a gay man myself and a Finnish guy, this comes as a very big insult to me. Also how fucking stupid do you have to be, to repeat the same fucking mistake you already done. Well what do I expect from a political party that call themselves the "True Finns", I guess not much. To me they are a bunch of bush humping hill billies or just plain assholes, it really doesn't matter. Just seems idiotic that such a political party was allowed to be formed in the first place, isn't the party itself racist. Final thoughts, you should never let a politician access to some forum cause he or she will make a ass of themselves.

Demolition Derby

This article was given to me by my wonderful boyfriend, thank you once again. This takes place in the state of Vermont, a farmer was facing minor drug charges. 34 year-old Roger Pion took it onto himself to make things worse for himself, with his tractor he crushed seven county police cruisers. Then making a getaway on his tractor, only to be caught by Newport City Police not far from the crime scene. Now he is facing a lot more serious charges.

Well I think this guy was pissed, but why the fuck make things a lot worse. Police officers don't take kindly to assholes who mess with their cruisers, they tend to react negatively to that. Also if you want to make a getaway, do not use some tractor. Still I'm stunned, why the fuck did this guy do it, I think he only needed to pay some fines for the drugs. He has already had problems with the law before, last month he was detained for resisting arrest and in possession of marijuana. What in a rats ass was wrong with him, I just don't get this. Maybe he just though "those fucking pig cops, I'll show them", then most likely he thought "if they don't have their cruisers, they can't chase me". Whatever the reason, the idiot deserves all the shit he will get.

Just Looking For The Loo

Again my boyfriend found this for me, its a big one this time. In Manchester UK, a 11 year-old-boy managed to go past all security check at the airport and board a plane. On 24th of July the child reportedly ran away from his mother while they were shopping in a Asda in Wythenshawe, the boy passed through Terminal 1. The passengers on the flight to Fiumicino airport became suspicious after they had taken off, the boy made it all the way to Rome. The boy was flown back on the return flight, this matter is under serious investigation.

Well this is a very interesting story, because I have a bit mixed feelings. First is how could the security at the airport have such a huge lapse, someone sure fucked up. Then there is the reason what 11 year-old Liam Corcoran-Fort gave why he wondered off, he was just looking for the loo. So here is where the story kinda breaks down, the boy was looking for the bathroom. I have read that there were bathrooms at Asda, at the bus station he got his bus from, before all the security checks at the airport and even before the plane itself. So why or how did he happen to end up on a plane when he was just looking for the loo, wait I know why, the brat is lying. He wasn't looking for the bathroom, there is way too many holes in his story. Plain and simple, the kid was angry at his mother for some reason and ran away.

Also he happen to find a bus ticket on the floor with the right day on it, oh my god what are the odds. In my opinion the kid just bought a ticket and got on the bus, he didn't find anything. Still I'll admit finding a ticket is not out of the realm of possibilities, but highly doubtful.

Finally the kid has learning difficulties, well that's something I can't prove or disprove. Still I think this is something the mother made up to get sympathy from everyone, because what her child did was serious.

Final word on this, I think most of this bullshit was fabricated. It has so many holes in the story that it doesn't make sense, like he was just looking for the bathroom. Also I suspect very much that the Sun actually "jazzed" their story up a bit to sell more, also most likely gave the mother a nice fat wad of money. What ticks me off about this shit that those idiots don't seem to understand that people could lose jobs over this. Instead of punishing the child, he was rewarded with a free flight and visit to the cockpit. I think this was bullshit and both the mother and the child should be punished.

First Chicken Nugget of The United States

This news was given to me by my wonderful boyfriend, I thank him for this crazy article. A McDonald's chicken nugget was sold for $5000 on eBay, the reason why it was sold for such a high price. The chicken nugget bares a striking resemblance to United States first president George Washington, which is not the first time a food product has looked liked someone. The three year old chicken nugget was sold by Rebekah Speights and her husband, the chicken nugget had been frozen and placed on sale last month.

Well I would have to say, fucking great for Rebekah Speights and her husband. For that person who bought a frozen chicken nugget, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!

You just spent like a big wad of money on a piece of old chicken, first I say disgusting. You could have bought a car or paid the rent for months, but no you buy some rotten chicken nugget that accidentally looks like the first president of US. Its a fucking quirk of nature that the mashed up chicken meat formed that way, its not something from the "Great Beyond". Also to all the people who bid on it, even giving $1 would have been too much for a old gross chicken nugget. You fucking buy those nuggets to eat them, not to put on display somewhere. People that buy some shit like this are morons, what the hell will they do with something like this.

Baby Beer

A Phoenix mother had been accused of pouring beer into her 2-year-old sons sippy cup, she has been charged with child abuse.  A waitress at Peter Piper Pizza reported this incident to the police, Valerie Marie Topete quoted this "He kept reaching for the pitcher of beer". Also she left her 2-year-old boy alone at one point, the father and the boys siblings were in the restaurants, but the report didn't clarify where.

So first I want to ask, what the fuck was going through her head. Did she really think that "oh you want some beer son, here you go", did she really think that was okay. Maybe she was out of milk and thought his son was thirsty and the beer was near, so why the hell not. He's gonna drink beer eventually, so why the hell not get that out of the way early. At least when the boy grows up, he can tell his friends "guys I had beer when I was 2". Just hope the boy won't become a alcoholic from this.

Olympic Blunder

Well the London 2012 Olympic games are just around the corner, but even before they have started there has been drama. This is something my boyfriend once again showed me, all thanks go to him. Lets get on with this, this time my target is the security company that is taking care of security at the Olympic games. This company is called G4S, its a very old security company. For 111 years they have provided security, they have not always been called G4S. The Commons Public Accounts Committee hired G4S, the contract for this event was worth £300 million. Yet now only 16 days before the Olympic games, G4S has reported that it can't provide enough security for the Olympic games. As a result of this, they needed to reassign military personal from other locations. This meant that many of said reassigned military personal will have their vacation canceled, also rumored that these reassigned military personal will not get any bonus for this.

What do I think about this, someone fucked up very badly. I went to look at these assholes and saw something, they really have been working for 111 years now. Also one of they values is "Reliability", they say that's one of their cornerstones. What a load of bullshit, that's not what they had this time. Because of this, a lot of hard working men and woman will lose their hard earned summer vacation. I do this blog for them, those good brave men and women who should have gotten their vacation. This kind of bullshit and plain idiotic behavior is something I can't stand, why should they pay for the fuck up someone made at G4S. Someone should pay for this shit, also its very fair that G4S loses credibility and face with this blunder. As my last words, to all the men and women who got screwed over, please know that I'm on your side and feel sorry that you lost your vacation.

Unplugged Chaos

Given to me by my sweet boyfriend again, this is something quite good. On 23d of June, there was a bit of a hassle at JFK airport. Terminal sevens metal detector had not been turned on, the screener Alija Abdul Majed failed to plug in the detector. Well because of this, they had to re-screen the passengers of two jumbo jets. Also this caused the delay of 8 to 10 flights, but what makes this worse is they could not be sure they re-screened all the passengers that went through the dead detector.

Well my thoughts on this blunder, its nothing new. TSA has a long history of fucking up, like last year TSA agents let a woman board a plane with a steak knife with her at Newark airport. What the fuck is wrong with these morons, they say you can't take a cardboard nail file into a plane. Yet that time they let a woman on a plane with a weapon, that just doesn't sound sane to me.

The metal detector wasn't plugged, I don't get how can that be possible. Shouldn't they check that all are plugged in before opening them, isn't that part of their standard routine. I just think this is plain idiotic, all this chaos an hassle because one dumbass couldn't check his metal detector was plugged in.

Stuck On You

Well this was once again given to me by my wonderful boyfriend, a very sticky story. This takes place in a Walmart in Monticello, Kentucky. A woman was rescued by paramedics from the Walmart's toilet as she had been stuck on it nearly a hour, the poor woman had been super glued to the toilet. She was taken to the nearby hospital to be checked over, I do hope she was okay. The Elkton police will investigate this, because this is assault.

If someone thought that this would be funny as a prank, they are fucking idiots. Super glue pranks aren't funny at all, also this is assault even if you aren't directly targeting anyone specific. Teens (if it was teens) can be so stupid, they don't seem to understand that sometimes their pranks have serious consequences. I was a teen once and I did stupid things, I guess that comes with being a teen. Still I never did anything like this, I never wanted to be mean to anyone. If this was done by an adult, why the fuck did they do this. I think there just are some assholes out there, they might claim they do it just for fun. There is a fine line between a funny prank and criminal behavior, some can't seem to understand this.

Coupons Gone Wild

Well this is not a news article, this is more like a phenomena that has become a way of life for some. My wonderful boyfriend turned me to this phenomena, so I thank him again. I'll give you a brief history of when the first coupon made its appearance, but I'm not going to give you any boring history lesson. In 1887 Coca-Cola company was created in Atlanta with one of the partners being Asa Candler, he was the man who was behind the first coupon. He had a new and ingenious way of marketing their product, so he created coupons for one free drink of their product Coca-Cola.

By 1913 Coca-Cola had redeemed 8.5 million tickets, but widespread use of coupons in US didn't start until 1909. During the depression in 1930, coupon use shot up dramatically. In 1940 big chain grocery stores began to use coupons to attract more customers away from the local markets.

Well there you have a brief history of coupons, but I should get back to the point of this blog. Now there is in a way this way of life or culture called "Extreme Couponing", they have even made a reality show called Extreme Couponing. Basically this is a show about people who collect coupons to purchase massive amounts of food, hygiene, beauty and other products. Those purchases might go over 1000$, yet with the help of coupons and sometimes some store card they only pay like 10$ of the 1000$.

Even to me this was quite a shock, how can these people do this. Well they just found a loophole in the system, which isn't bad. You might think, why am I doing a Idiocracy News blog about this. Well let me explain, because I do have a good reason.
Some of these extreme couponers are insane, they buy all the stuff and hoard it. You find they have shelves full of useless products, well useless for them. Like some own over 4000 diapers and doesn't have children, they just say they might get children. Also couples that don't have children buy massive amounts of anything they can get their hands on just cause its cheap or free. This is where my mind just goes to mush, why the fuck do these people buy so much. I know some of them might be those 2012 Mayan doomsday dickheads, they must get enough stock to survive. That is just insane I think, nobody has ever proven that this Mayan doomsday shit is even true. Others then again just hoard for no reason, just gather up and wank off while watching their stock.
Now on a more sane and smart light, some who have large families buy them to save up for their children's future. Others use this loophole to buy large amounts of stuff and then donate like 80% to 90% to charities, only keeping enough for themselves to survive.
I suppose there are so many reasons why some do this, but there are those who use this for their own idiotic selfish gains. If you'd ask me would I do this, I would say yes I would. Still I wouldn't buy in the amounts they do, I would only buy what I need and that's it. Also this extreme couponing phenomena mostly seems to be a American thing, maybe in Canada as well.

What do you think of this, comments are very welcome.

Eggs Of Mystery

Once again my wonderful boyfriend turned me to this article, this is kinda disturbing. LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) has done a survey with 2000 participants, 33% of young adults of ages between 16 and 23 do not know where eggs come from, some even said eggs are made of wheat of maize. Also of the same age group, 36% do not know that bacon comes from pigs. More ignorance came from this group, cause 40% did not know that cows produce milk. They even gave this group a challenge, to link pictures to which animal or crop produces it. The sad thing was that only 41% of those young adults linked butter to cows, so 59% didn't know that even if they most likely use butter everyday.

My thoughts on this, its disturbing how stupid and ignorant the young adults these days are. It just baffles me how they could be so ignorant, like how can't they know that cows produce milk. On most milk cartons, bottles and bags they have a picture of a cow on it, which is pretty logical since COWS PRODUCE MILK!!!

I have no idea how young adults can get this stupid, I learned these things when I was very young. These people want to become world leaders, big business tycoons or international spies, well okay that last one was a joke. Still where the hell do these dumbasses think milk comes from, a dogs ass. Maybe before they aspire to become something big, they should get the simple facts of life in order.

Go Go Orville

Once again my wonderful boyfriend gave me this article, so hats off to him. Most of us remember the pain of the loss of a dear pet, we'll never forget that pet and nothing can replace a dear pet. Bart Jansen, a Dutch artist had to go through this pain as his pet cat Orville (named after the aviator Orville Wright) was run over. Well Mr. Jansen decided to have Orville stuffed, which sounds fine. This is when it gets weird, Jansen teamed up with a radio controlled helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman. Well Arjen helped Jansen, he tuned Orville into a helicopter. This is a part of Jansen's art, so Orville now is art.

Now my thoughts on this, this is fucking creepy. I know its funny, gave me a smile when I first saw it. Still this is fucking creepy, a Orvillecopter. What the hell was this guy trying to do, turn his dead cat into cyborg that would destroy mankind or the next Inspector Gadget. Whatever his reasons for this was, he's a fucking nut. I have heard of animal lovers and pet lovers, even saw the Showtime Bullshit! episode with pet lovers. There I saw how some people take their love for pets to a whole new level, one guy had even designed a line of fake testicles for animals. I don't know why Jansen did this, I would have been okay if he just had Orville stuffed. People do crazy things and Mr. Jansen has done it in spades, if its art I just don't get it.

First Bank of Facebook

This news article has been given to me by my brother, something from Australia. Well this 17 year old girl was helping her grandmother count her savings, that is very nice of her. For some reason she posted a picture of a stack of money on Facebook, commenting on it being a large sum of cash. This post was made 4pm and 11:30pm the same day masked men broke into her home, luckily the cash wasn't at her house and nobody got hurt. Still the men did steal some money personal belongings from her home, again nobody was hurt.

Well my thoughts on this, she was a fucking dumbass. Why didn't she just post a sign "come rob me, I got lots of money", cause that's what she basically did. What in the world made her think "hey I'll post a picture of this stack of money", why would anyone do something so stupid. Facebook isn't known to be so safe, mostly because lots of people fail to set the security settings in the right way. Also many have the most idiotic passwords ever, so that's why its easy for criminals to get all they need from them. I'm happy that nobody was hurt, but she is one of the dumbest I've seen in a while. Hope she learned a lesson from this, don't brag how much you got money on Facebook.

Cleaning Fairy Strikes Again

This is something I found myself as I was browsing through the articles, I think this fits right in here with the other idiots. This takes place in Ohio, in a town called West Lake. Susan Warren had broken into the home of Sherry Bush, well first thing to comes in mind that she broke in to burgle the place. Sadly the logical reason was wrong this time, Susan did not break into the home of Sherry to steal. Instead she did something that nobody could expect, she broke in to clean the house. That's right, she broke in just to clean. It gets worse, Susan actually left a bill written on a napkin of 75 dollars and her phone number. She already had a criminal record for breaking and entering, so now she might be facing jail time.

Now my thoughts on this, she is a idiot. What in the world possessed her to do something like this, she claimed that she was desperate for money. That is bullshit, if she was so desperate for money then get some clients that want their house cleaned. I really don't know what it is, but when you break into someones home you steal things or trash the place. The weirdest thing is, that she has a cleaning service called Sue Warren Cleaning. So why the fuck did she break in, I just can't fathom this. Someone needs to slap her in the back of her head and wake her up, tell her that "breaking into others homes is a crime, even if you just clean there".

Mayan Doomsday Calendar "BUSTED"

My brother turned me to this article, but this isn't that much about the article itself. This is more what the article busts, something I find completely insane. Most of you are likely to know the Mayan calendar that supposedly predicts that the end of the world is 21st of December 2012, for those who don't know go look it up. Anyway recently researchers found new astronomical tables carved while excavating the lost city of Xultún in present-day Guatemala. Well those tables have a little bit different story to tell us, these tables pre-date the oldest known codex by about 500 years and span over 7000 years. Whoops....so the tables we have come to know so far are the older version, according to this new table they found means the "doomsday" is far off. Well really far off, very far.....well you get the point.

My own thoughts on this, those fucking Mayan doomsday assholes just made a huge mistake. Also like in the Showtime series Bullshit, they already slammed these jerks down and now its my turn. Those fucking loonies are insane, nobody can predict anything, the freaking future isn't set yet and it most certainly isn't written in the stars. They are just big hot spheres of gas, also most of them that we see now have long since blown up. Also where the fuck in Mayan history have they said that the world would end when their calendar ends, tell me where is it said. Simple answer, they never said it you bunch of loons. I mean its insane to give your life to a bunch of flickering lights in the night sky that might not even be there anymore, our lives aren't controlled or predicted because some photons that come from a star millions of light years away say so.

Politics Politics Politics

This time I decided to go with politics, sort of my favorite subject on finding idiotic behavior. Well the President of United States has done something this time, but its not him who is the idiot here. While the President was awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Polish resistance fighter, he gave a speech after it. There he accidentally made a small mistake, he was talking about the Nazi death camps in Poland. Then he referred to them as the "Polish Death Camp", this enraged the Poles and Polish-Americans. They didn't like when he said Polish Death Camp, that was just a mistake.

What makes me think that those people are idiots, everyone makes mistakes. They have to understand that its high doubtful that President Obama intentionally meant to insult them. Being a President of a country, let alone United States can't be a easy job. Maybe they should concentrate on something more important than one little mistake, give they guy a break.

Miaow Miaow Hiss Hiss

The title of this blog might be a little confusing, so let me clear it up for you. My boyfriend turned me to this article, it actually does involve felines. This takes place in Boston, Massachusetts. For some odd and crazy reason a common house cat has been called for jury duty, yes that's right. A cat named Sal has been asked to attend jury duty because someone fucked up, the owner listed Sal as a pet on the last census form. Something must have happened and for some reason Sal was listed as a family member, so like he was a human. Well clearly it would be enough for anyone to release Sal from jury duty, on the bases he's a freaking cat. Guess what, they denied the disqualification Sal's owners applied for.

My thoughts on this, what the fuck is wrong with these people. I'm not talking about the cats owners, they sound perfectly sane. Who the fuck denies the disqualification, this is a fucking cat we are talking about. I mean how in hell can that even work, the cat has no idea what they are doing in the court room. Only things cat do is lick their ass, eat and sleep. I would like to hear the reason of the person who denied the disqualification, because that person is a big dumbass. Whats next, a guinea pig as a witness. Sometimes the lack of intelligence seems so staggering that I wonder how did we even make it this far. Well hope Sal was a good jury member, maybe he got some cream after he was done.

Sued for Ghosts?

Something I found myself, it wasn't that easy to find this. Well today's news takes place in Toms River New Jersey. Joshua Chinchilla and Michele Callan had rented a house there, but they had to flee the house. Well let me tell you why, they claim its haunted. This gets worse, no wait, now it gets stupid. They are suing the landlord of the house for renting them a haunted house, wanting their security deposit back. Well the landlord has filed a countersuit, which is very sane. I mean if you can't afford a house you just rented, come up with a more reasonable reason to back out of it. Don't bring in the supernatural into it, but I guess they couldn't do anything else. Maybe the house was just fine and nothing was wrong with it, so they had to come up with some reason to back out of it. So lets use a haunting, yes that'll work. Those moron's even called in a paranormal investigator, now there is a really respectful profession. Just a bunch of people that come with some shit like EMF and microphones to do something, what a bunch of bullshitters they are. Charging for that, its one of the biggest scams ever. Also the couple had a pastor bless the house, well I won't go bad mouthing the pastor even if I'm not religious at all.

Anyway this whole thing is ridiculous, do landlords these days must add to their listing "Not Haunted" and "Haunted". I mean there has not been proof of haunting's anywhere, nobody has caught a haunting on a video. Those that have been, later been proven to be fakes. Just feels stupid to what lengths some people go to get out of things they can't afford, why get into them in the first place if you can't afford it.

What makes this so stupid, all the paranormal events they claimed that have happened are the usual. Lights going on and off, clothes and towels mysteriously ejecting from closets, unintelligible whispering, footsteps in the kitchen and a mysterious force tugging at bedsheets during the night. All of these events are just what all the other haunting's are, that's why I feel this is stupid. Its like they just got all those things from movies and pop culture, they could have been a bit more original and not pull the cliche haunting.

Today's Samaritan Reward?

Well my brother showed me this article, this is crazy and idiotic what happened. Losing your mobile is a very serious thing, these days you can have your entire schedule on it and list of very important contacts. So losing such a important thing is bad, I would feel lost myself.

Well this time it took place in Virginia, where a 53 year old woman was shopping at Fredericksbug's local 7-Eleven store. She finds a iPhone on the floor, being a good person she gets in contact with the owner to return it. They set up a meeting at this neutral location, the owners (man and a woman) show up to get the phone back. The good samaritan  hands over the phone and is even given a reward for it, everything sounds great. AS the good samaritan was leaving, the phones owners rush her from behind. Throwing her to the ground, kicking her and reclaiming the reward they given her.

What the fuck was wrong with these people, the most weirdest thing is that they didn't rob her. They just took the money back they had given to her as reward. This must have been the most idiotic thing ever to do, if they had robbed her, then it would have made more sense. Then it would have been a simple robbery, but not this time. So they assaulted her for no fucking reason, maybe they were so dumb they didn't even know how to mug someone properly. Whatever the reason is, I hope those two knuckleheads get several years of jail time over this. Also I hope you are well good samaritan and this hasn't made you into a bitter person, stay a good samaritan.

Some of my final words on this, has it gotten this bad that you can't even be a good samaritan without taking a beating. Do we have to be careful now when we want to return the property to someone who's lost it, how crazy is that. Even if there are stupid crazy people like these knucklehead muggers, I will myself remain a good person. Now I know I need to be careful when returning some found property, maybe I'll get a police escort.

Silicone's Beware

Once again this is something that my lovely boyfriend turned me to, when I saw it myself I couldn't believe my eyes. Again ITV1's This Morning featured a woman who had a cup size of 164XXX, yes you read right. Chelsea Charms has gone a further than some idiotic movie star who wants fake boobs, Chelsea has taken it to the extreme levels. Her breasts continue to grow one inch a month, because on her third surgery she got polypropylene string breast implants. I'm not gonna even go how this implant works, you can read that for yourself.

My thoughts on this, she is not only idiotic, but totally insane. How can such a thing like this be healthy, shouldn't this be illegal or at least not recommended. What the fuck does she intend to do with them, does she just want her 15 minutes of fame. I don't give a crap, she is a idiot for doing something like this. Its not natural, but then again no breast implant is natural. People like her never seem to be happy with their bodies, I know I'm going to the gym to get thinner. Still why I mainly go to the gym is to improve my health, as its the best it has been in my life. So I'm just trying to get healthy, so getting thinner is just a side effect. So getting things artificially improved isn't normal nor healthy, I think people that get such things as implants are idiots.

Slow News Day

Well this is something I came up with, basically this will be about news reports about news that should never be news. No I'm not talking about some big cover-up thing or national secrets that came out, nothing like that. I mean this will be about stupid, moronic and brainless news that should never have been made into a news report. Sometimes I simply don't get how can some of these things make it into news, who is the person or group screening these. Is it a slow news day that they just need to jam something into the news, I suppose that could be true. Still don't put up something so stupid and idiotic that it simply makes no sense at all. If you need to put up something, go for the cute factor. Like some baby animals or just human babies, those are at least cute even when they are stupid.

Here is something my wonderful boyfriend showed me, news that should have never made it into the news at all. Emer O'Toole was the guest on the ITV1 morning show, guess what her thing was. She hasn't shaved her body hair for 18 months, because there was too much pressure to conform to norms of society. Well I don't conform to all norms of society, but some are kind good to follow. Anyway that's besides the point, who the fuck cares that some stupid student hasn't shaved in 18 months. Didn't the Sun have anything better to report about, I guess they didn't.

This is just some of the bullshit news we have to read or see, they not only waste money, but waste our time.

Fine For Stupidity?

Once again my lovely boyfriend turned me to this article, this is a juicy one. In Fort Lee New Jersey they have instituted a new law, apparently now its illegal to text while walking. Yes you read it right, illegal to text while walking. They claim that it causes people to have more accidents, the news is even calling this texting while walking a "epidemic". When you want to make something sound very bad, just use the words "epidemic" or "pandemic". The condition is called "Inattention Blindness", or so they say. Also what they talk about in the video, humans are only capable of doing one thing at a time. We can't multi-task, supposedly our brains has evolved this way. Well I say that's bullshit, we can do two things at the same time. Here is a simple example of multi-tasking, talking to someone while getting dressed. You're doing two things at once, so multi-tasking. Anyway I think this is idiotic, now they fine you for texting while walking. What's next, you'll get a fine for farting or converting air to carbon dioxide "sir you are polluting too much, here's a 50 dollar ticket".

Now I think that new law might be idiotic and crap, well now let me tell my opinion on the people that have these "Texting While Walking" accidents. They are idiots, like what the fuck is wrong with them. Walking blindly in to traffic and then BAM, a car or even a bus hits you. Whatever the text or chat you have going, it can wait like a minute or two so you get across the street safely. Also those dumbass people need to understand, traffic is not the only dangerous aspect to this. Lets say someone is in a mall and she or he is texting and walking, then she or he falls down a escalator and dies. For fuck sake people, is texting so important that it can't wait one second. This so called "epidemic" doesn't need a new rule or law, those people need to be educated that texting while walking is dangerous Is this new law going to stop texting while walking, hell no. Does the threat of the death penalty stopped people from murdering, I think not. So this won't change things, people will still text and walk.

Also to the news channels and news papers, stop using the words "epidemic" and "pandemic". That is just a sleezy way to sell your shit, be more honest than "hey lets raise panic".

Land Of The "Not So" Free

Well those anti-abortionists are at it once more, this time they score a victory. Arizona's governor Jan Brewer signed this bill that prevents Planned Parenthood getting taxpayer money, so basically no government support for Planned Parenthood. This will effect nearly 20.000 women that Planned Parenthood serves at their clinics, so no more preventive health care and family planning for those women.

These crazy anti-abortionists just fucked with all these women because they think they know what's better for them, what the fuck gave them to right to choose what's best for these women. The most idiotic thing about these anti-abortionists is what they are driving for, at the moment of conception of a child the parents should have the choice to abort the pregnancy. What they don't seem to get is, that for a long while the child has no brain. Literally no brain, slowly it grows. Even if it has a brain, there simply isn't enough to constitute as a consciousness. Also doctors won't abort the pregnancy once it has gone far enough, but that isn't enough for these idiotic anti-abortionists assholes. I mean shouldn't women have control of their own bodies, decide if they want to get pregnant or not. There are so many reasons why women don't want to keep the pregnancy, some are pretty crazy, but still its their choice.

Those anti-abortionists should keep their mouths shut, cause its not up to them on what woman want to do with their own bodies. US is said to be the "land of the free", but this doesn't seem to be freedom.

Buttdrugs Galore

This is something my brother turned me to, its not that uncommon to see or read this on news. Still I would like to give my opinion about it, because I think what some people do are simply idiotic.

Well this particular article is from the US, specifically from Vermont. There the state police stopped Alex Boulet for a normal traffic violation, but upon a routine search they found something odd in his groin area. Don't make any jokes like "maybe he was happy to see them" or "sir are you packing a gun". Back to the matter at hand, they got a warrant to x-ray him. To their surprise, this guy was full of drugs, literally full of drugs. When we hear the word "drug mule", this guy had taken it to the extreme. He was packing 84 bags of crack, (yes yes, he had 84 bags of crack in his crack) 218 Oxycodone pills and 11 grams of weed. Well thank goodness he had some weed, he'll need that to wind down after all the "crack" and Oxy he's gonna use. That was just a joke, most like he was going to sell this "shit" to some drug dealer.

Now what do I think of this, well I think these people who do this sort of stuff are mental. They are so idiotic that even leeches seem to have more intelligence. I don't care what their motivation is, money or whatever. Becoming a drug mule is so dangerous, first danger of course is that the packs burst and you die of overdose. Next of course is getting busted by the cops, which will end your career as a drug mule. People do some stupid, moronic and plain idiotic things for the most dimwitted reasons, which I don't give a shit. If you have money problems, there are other ways to get more money than becoming a drug mule.

Roasty Toasty Mum

This is something that my sweet boyfriend turned me to, when I saw the first picture myself I bet my jaw actually dropped. I was so shocked when I saw it, you might get the same reaction.

Patricia Krentcil of 44 is facing charges of endangering her daughter, she has been claimed to place her daughter in a tanning booth which caused her to burn. Well I'm not gonna go about that, this blog will not be about if she's guilty or not. I'm gonna go about her obsession with tanning, the term for that is tanorexic. The crazy and idiotic thing is, she claims she is not addicted to tanning and she likes the sun. Well I'll let you be the judge here, she visited the City Tropics Salon 20 times in a month. Oh my, could she really be tanorexic. Fuck yes she is, 20 times a month is clear proof she if tanorexic. I don't know what this roasty toasty mother was trying to do, was she trying to become a African American woman. I really don't know what goes in her head, but it ain't a sane thought. Has she even heard of skin cancer, the way she's going she will lose her entire skin.

I do like a tan myself, on myself and I know my boyfriend would look very good with one. Still I would never go to a tanning booth, I would get it naturally outside. Even then I would only get a light one, I would never ever go as far as she has. Also if she went to the same damn tanning salon, why the hell did they let her in 20 times a month. Isn't there some safety regulation preventing from someone visiting a tanning booth this many times, I sure hope there is.

Rich Taxes, Poor Taxes

This is something that is so unfair and idiotic, I'm talking about how the tax system works. I'm no expert nor with to be, but what I have read is that the rich pay less tax. That's right, the idiotic system is built that way so the rich pay less taxes, which is wrong. The middle class and the lower class have to pay much more taxes than the upper class, which sounds upside down. Us the middle class and the lower class have to work our asses off to survive, but the rich just keep getting richer since they don't have to pay so much taxes. I hate talking about classes like this, it sounds so bad that we have to set our society in classes. Anyway back to the matter at hand. I have read how in US and UK the rich do pay less taxes, they get all kinds of tax reliefs and tax helps, cutbacks. Why are they allowed to get such thing, why do the governments favor them more than the middle and lower classes. There is that saying "while the rich get richer, the poor get poorer" and I think that's true, its idiotic how things are handled.

Some you you might think "so you want to bleed the rich dry", that isn't what I'm after here. I'm after equality, the rich will still be rich. Everyone should pay the same percentage, that's more equality. Now I bet some of you are thinking "oh fuck, he's a communist", but that's just your own opinion. I don't follow any political party, they can suck my ass for all I care. What I'm trying to get with this is, equality with taxes might make things better. Its idiotic how some are driven to bankruptcy cause the taxes killed them, I'm talking about the middle and lower classes. How is that gonna help the economy, driving people to bankruptcy. Aren't they more useful as tax payers, I guess not on how things are right now.

Debates are going, some are thinking as I am. Then the opposite side is thinking that its not the problem, the solution isn't to tax the rich more. I suppose those belong to the upper class and don't want to tighten their belts, they want to keep the designer clothes, expensive wines and private jets. I do understand them, I wouldn't want to pay more if I were rich. In the end, this debate will never end. Even if we get the rich to pay more taxes, they will complain and want to get it back the way it is now. What the rich don't seem to understand is that they will get it back, because if they had more customers that would mean they get more money. Also for governments it would be better, if they had more and more tax payers, they would have more money to use. Bankrupting people hurts everyone overall, the rich will lose customers and the government will have less money to use. I could go on with this for a while, but I won't bore you or just repeat myself.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Nuggets of Death *dramatic music*

Well once more my lovely boyfriend has turned me to this idiotic and crazy news, this time it takes place in Castle Vale, Birmingham.

17 year old Stacey Irvine has a very odd addiction, no its not drugs or chocolate because that wouldn't be anything new. Her addiction is to chicken nuggets, her favorite chicken nuggets are from McDonalds. She has been eating chicken nuggets since she was two, her mother Evonne could not get her to eat anything else and long since has given up. You might think that this isn't so odd, so she like chicken nuggets a lot. Well she collapsed and was taken to the hospital, there they treated her with vitamins. Since she hadn't eaten any fruits or vegetables, she hadn't gotten the proper vitamins.

Now comes the idiotic part, the doctors said that she has to have a wider diet than chicken nuggets, fries, crisps and toast. Either she changes her diet or die, but she is reluctant to give up her diet of chicken nuggets. She is insane, this isn't a hard choice at all. Just give up those damn nuggets and live, but she can't make that choice. How about they force feed her some grapes and a carrot, maybe a lettuce milkshake. I don't know what the hell is wrong with her, even I know you need to have a nice wide diet. Anyway I don't know what she chose, hope she made the right choice.

Baby Plastics

Again my lovely boyfriend gave me this article, something that is just so insane. Both me and my boyfriend thought that this was just plain crazy, I'll let you all judge for yourself.

Sarah Burge, 50, decided gave her 7-year-old daughter Poppy a voucher for a boob job as a birthday gift, that is not a joke. The reason Sarah gave Poppy that voucher is because the spoiled little brat "begged" her mother for a boob job. Any sane mother would tell their 7-year-old daughter "no way in hell", but this mother did the insane choice and actually gave her a voucher. Well at least it was a voucher, which Poppy can use at the age of 16. Still this just boggles the mind, how could someone do such a thing. Some think that their kids want to have their ears pierced or getting a some small tattoo is bad, but this just goes overboard. I think I know why this little brat wanted to get the boob job, most likely for two reasons.

First reason is quite common, sounds like she comes from a rich family. The voucher was worth £6000, but this was not all she got for her birthday. She got a computer, a pink crystal ring and a necklace set, and a £4000 spa break. Also eating from a £250 designer cake, drinking fake champagne, getting manicures and pedicures. So yes, this little brat comes from a rich family. its so nice to be rich, then beg your mommy for anything you want, even the insane gifts. Well this was the first reason why she would want a boob job.

Second reason is something that plays a major role why she wanted the boob job, so pay attention. Her mother reportedly has spent more than £500.000 on plastic surgery, even Poppy's siblings have gotten some botox treatments done to them. I mean holy shit, this family is seriously fucked up. Poppy has three sisters, well one is just a stepsister. Anyway her two sisters are 25 and 17 years old and the stepsister is 17 as well. Now its gone to another level of craziness, why would a 17 year old need botox. I mean they are in the best age of their lives, they have youth and all to look good. So why pump toxic shit into your face, they don't need that. So basically Poppy is just following what she thinks is okay, if her mother and siblings do it, why can't I do it as well.

Some might think that I'm vain cause I wash my face so much, well just twice a day. Then use lotions and stuff to keep my face healthy, I just don't want to look like some dried up troll. Compare my slight vanity to this family, I'm left in the shadows of those crazy people. Now that I think about it, if they spend so much money on plastic surgery, how much do they spend on beauty products. I mean I try to find the cheapest and the most effective ones for me, this fucked up family most likely buys out the stock from some factory so they can swim in some beauty lotion.

My final verdict for this family, you all are crazy fucked up plastics. Get a fucking grip and stop slicing and dicing your bodies.

Teaching To Be Rude

This is something most of see often, rude drivers. I see it every time I go out, when I'm driving or I'm a passenger. Most common thing you see is other drivers going way over the limit, on city streets and highway. This is something I don't get, where are those people in such a hurry. I know they probably will say "oh I'm in a hurry back home", that's probably true after they had a long day of work. Still would you risk your life or someone else's life just to get home just a few minutes quicker, this is where the stupidity begins. Limits have been set for a reason, for the safety of everyone. What most seem to miss is that even a small increase in speed will make it a lot harder for a car to stop, so why risk it. This causes something else, another risk. Lets say you are driving at the legal limit and behind you comes one of these speeders, I bet you all know what happens. They get so close to you they almost hit your rear bumper, so if you have to make a emergency stop those assholes are going to slam into your rear. Even if the bastard pays for all the repairs, you still have to wait for your car to be fixed. That can take for weeks and most of us have to be without a car, making our lives much more difficult that it should be.

Another rude driver is when you try to merge to another lane, they simply won't let you in. Even when you are halfway into the other lane, they just speed up and almost hit you. They simply won't let you in, those assholes risk injury just cause they want to be first. Just more things I don't get, why be a asshole and do such things. Its idiotic to act like that, they aren't going to get anywhere faster.

Because of speeders and rude lane hoggers, more accidents happen. It just get stupid when your driving ed teacher tells you not to be polite, just go and don't give room. Idiots who break the rules since they don't think they apply to them, I will never get them and will always think they are idiots.

Excessive Force Much

This is a article that my boyfriend showed me, it was a small one. Still it caught my eye and I just need to share my opinion about it, because I just thought it was insane and stupid.


This incident happened in March at Fairmount Park Elementary School, a 5 year old girl caused a disturbance in class. Well that's not unheard of, children do that. According to the reports, she tore papers off display boards and then climbed on a table. Then she punched the assistant principal, clearly there was something wrong for her to behave like this. Normally you would call the parents in, but this time they couldn't get them to come to the school. In this case, usually the teachers would deal with this. Just give her a time out or take her out of the class, but did they do this. Of course not, they didn't do the sane and rational choice. Those dumbasses called the police to subdue her, so now you need police officers to subdue 5 year old little girls. This isn't the end of it, things get even more insane. There were three officers in total, all three held the little girl down and cuffed her. I couldn't believe how insane and stupid this was, three officers had to hold down a small 5 year old child and cuff her. For fuck sake what the hell was that, if you think of excessive force, here you have it.


Well the family's attorney is pressing charges against the St Petersburg's police for "excessive force", any sane person would do so if three officers would do something like so to your little girl. I think that the mother should sue the school as well, they didn't need to call the police for this. Such things like this are handled by the teachers, that's part of their job.


Whatever happened, this should never be allowed to happen. So yes the girl was very upset, but you don't need three or even one police officer to calm a little girl down. Have the teachers gotten so lazy that now they let the police handle such things, I simply don't get how thing could have gotten this bad.

Not So Secret "Service"

Well it looks like the Secret Service has been caught with their pants down, this time literally with their pants down. The idiotic scandal they have had in Cartagena Columbia last month, where several Secret Service agents have been caught with prostitutes. When I read this news article on my phone, I was just thinking "oh god, now they have to divert resources to investigate this". To me this level of stupidity is just beyond my understanding, the Secret Service is suppose to be the elite protection agency for the president of the United States.

Because of this debacle, they had to investigate all the prostitutes that were involved. Also the agents involved were investigated, which just took more time and resources. Of course they had to find out if these horny agents relieved any classified information to these prostitutes. They could have been some foreign spies or even terrorist, literally "pumping" them for information. Because of this scandal, those agents have been fired and for a good reason. Only because they couldn't keep their dicks in their pants, I hope it was worth it for them to lose their jobs over it.

Now because of this scandal, they have started a new rule. On all over seas trips, they will have a chaperone with them to make sure they don't pull their dicks out. Are they going to ask Queer As Folk to make sure they don't make a ass of themselves?

Anyway in conclusion, they have to spend more and more money to keep some from acting inappropriately. Also this raises the question, aren't thy suppose to protect us instead us protect them. 

Shitting On The Little Guy

Welcome to the first official Idiocracy News report, the honor of the first report will go to a mobile service provider called Sonera. This is something I experienced first hand, since it happened to me.

Well it began when I went to one of their shops to inquire about closing my account with them, as I was changing to another provider. As the salesperson was looking into my account, he noticed that I had two accounts at Sonera. That was new to me, since I have only been using one. Of course I tell the salesperson to close the other one since I have no use for two accounts, this was very simple. Then it occurred to me if I've had two accounts all this time, have I been paying for two accounts. That's just what it was, I had been paying for two accounts for a considerable amount of time. In fact I've been paying for two accounts for 19 months. Then I found out how much I have been over paying, it was over 900€ in total. That's a large amount of money, at least it is to me. I should explain how this most likely began, let me take you back to 2010.

iPhone 4 just had been released and I was excited to get my new iPhone, I had come early to this Sonera store to wait in line to get my iPhone 4. I got in and I got my iPhone 4, of course I had to get a new mobile plan for it. Here is where I think the snafu happened, the salesperson who was servicing me failed to close my old account.

Now back to the present, I start to investigate what had happened. Calling Sonera's billing, they make a reclamation report about my problem. It only takes a few days before I get a call from some person at Sonera, well I talk with her and this is when it got ugly. They start to tell me that it was my fault when one of their employees fucked up 19 months ago, also would the compensate me all that I have over paid. The easy answer is "NO FUCKING WAY", the only thing they offered me first was just to pay my next bill. Like hell that was enough, they owed me over 900€ and they were offering just some shitty deal. Well I wouldn't agree to it, so they bump it up to 200€ after some haggling. Even after that they wanted to just give me credit to my account, fuck that, I wanted cash in my bank account, to which she reluctantly agreed. I thought that was the end of this, that I got some of my money back. Well the next day I get a email from her and within this email, she was taking 123.48€ from the 200€ she promised to pay one more of the over charge bills. I was fucking fuming, like they hadn't taken enough from me. So with this I was left with 76.52€ in hand, this was bullshit. So I emailed a very angry reply to her, the reply that I received stated that I would get 100€ more compensation. So now I was left with 176.52€, still that was pathetic. Well I didn't want to press my luck anymore, but this was the reason why my entire family cut all connections to Sonera.

Well this is the idiotic behavior I and some others have to live with, the big companies that shit all over the little guys. Where the fuck is their customer service, how in the pigs ass are they suppose to keep their customers when they won't own up to their own mistakes. To me over 900€ is a lot of money, but to a big company like Sonera, they spend that much money and more on toilet paper daily. Why couldn't those dumb bitches just pay me off or even offer to give me some phone for free, I would have been happy. This is the world we live in, but we can change it. Don't be silent and let the big companies shit all over you, let yourself be heard.

Welcome To Idiocracy News

Welcome to Idiocracy News, this will be a blog about all the idiotic things that people do around the world. Some will be first hand experience, some read from the news and some heard my boyfriend, family or friends. I will give my honest and sometimes quite brutal opinion about the idiotic behavior that people manage to accomplish, I will not spare someones feelings. Even if I'm brutally honest, I will not do anything stupid myself like being racist or something to that sort.

Personally I'm just amazed at how much idiotic stuff there is in the world, people doing some of the most idiotic things and never learn. I witness this idiotic behavior everyday as I go out, also hear it daily from the news and other sources. Sometimes it seems that the world is just getting dumber and dumber by the day, this is evident everywhere. Well what I want to bring with this blog is some of the intelligence back to our world, maybe make it a little better for some.

All comments are welcome.

PS: I know the name Idiocracy is the title of a 2006 movie directed by Mike Judge and starred Luke Wilson, so please do not remind me of that.
