Bad Parenting: Drug Dealing Babies
So a couple of really smart drug dealers thought it would be a great idea to bring along children to a drug deal. Brilliant idea, geniuses!
Alright, the sarcasm is over. Really? Two women were negotiating the sale of prescription drugs outside of a Rite Aid when a three year old in the back seat pulled the trigger of a 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun. The women pulled the kids out of the car and the guy buying the drugs rolled off. They're all in custody now.
Now I grew up with guns and shooting from a small age. But if I even thought about aiming at anything but the targets I'd get a whipping. I'm pretty sure if I shot out the roof of the car, I'd have been neutered.

Man Vandalizes Ex-Wifes House - Pleads Stupid
So this guy decided to vandalize his ex-wifes house. Good move.
Putting chicken in the heating vents of a house can be a great prank to pull on your friends, but you're friends with your friends. You're not friends with your ex-wife.
Not only did he put the chicken in the heating system, but he also poured bleach into her baby grand piano and left cleat marks on her newly refinished wooden floors. Oh, and he erased her computer hard drive too according to the court records.
So now this former state lobbyist-turned prankster is going to spend up to 18 months in jail.
Another prank, another idiot, another conviction.

RB Passes Up NFL Contract For College
Yes...you read that right. Passing up the NFL for college.
Now this is a cool story. Jason Wright was a running back who was undrafted out of Northwestern and spent his NFL career with Atlanta, Cleveland, and finally in Arizona. He's now an ex-NFL player because he turned down a two year contract worth more than $2 million.
He turned it down for a few reasons, and as you read the article you'll see that his wife had a lot to do with it, but he cites family, God, and college in his decision. That's pretty cool.
Jason now wants to finish his education and eventually open up a charter school for students. He and his wife have already been helping... Read More
Your Afro Is The Bomb
So a Dallas woman had her afro searched recently by the TSA for a bomb and now she's upset about it. I don't know why she's upset - as you can see in the picture on the left, there's clearly a bomb in there.

Packers Fan Is Thriving In New Job After Firing
A car salesman in Chicago decided to wear a Packers tie to work before last year's NFC Championship game against the hometown Chicago Bears. Why did he do it? To honor his grandmother who was a Packers fan and died a few days before the game. What happened to him? He was fired.
Fast forward to today, and he's one of the top salesman at a competing local dealer. Nice work, John Stone.
I'm not a Browns fan, but if Pat ever wore his Browns tie around the Bro Council office I wouldn't fire him. I would just laugh at him for being a Browns fan. That's painful enough.

R.E.M. Announces Breakup; The World Thought They Already Did
In other news; Elvis announces that he's dead, and newspapers around the world are announcing that the Japanese have surrendered and World War II is over.
So I looked it up and they apparently have released 4 albums in the past 10 years, and in 2007 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not too bad for an irrelevant band!
Way to last way past your prime R.E.M. - at least Brett Favre almost made it to the Super Bowl in his next to last year.
