Somebody thought this was a good idea.
A Brazilian judge has banned a controversial Carnival float that depicted Holocaust victims and was to be accompanied by a samba dancer dressed as Adolph Hitler.
The creators said the float was a protest against genocide, but judge in Rio de Janeiro backed a complaint from the Jewish community, saying the festival “cannot be used as a tool in the cult of hate or for any form of racism … or for the banalization of barbaric events.”
I’m inclined to not exactly be sympathetic to this story.
Thieves have stolen a Maybach luxury limousine worth 530,000 euro ($777,000) while the car’s owner had dinner in a Moscow restaurant, Russian media reported Wednesday.
Thieves bundled the owner’s chauffeur into the back seat and threatened to kill him, the Kommersant newspaper reported. The driver was later abandoned outside Moscow’s ring road.
Theft and kidnapping are clearly evil, but I tend to think someone who can afford a car for 3/4 of a million dollars isn’t likely to be too disrupted in their life for their car to go bye-bye.
This is what we call an aggressively silly story.
Animal expert Jack Hanna and an 11-month-old flamingo became trapped while trying to squeeze through an airport security turnstile. It took firefighters to finally get the flamingo out.
Hanna, the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and a frequent guest on nationally televised talk shows, was returning from a zoo fundraiser with a mongoose, a small leopard and the flamingo. Three other people were with them.
The entourage arrived at the Ohio State University Airport just after midnight Sunday to find the terminal closed. The only way to leave the tarmac was through a 10-foot-tall metal turnstile with several horizontal bars — not the easiest exit to squeeze through when you’re traveling with boxed-up animals, Hanna said.
“I never thought about the crate being square and the turnstile being round,” he said.
Hanna, 60, pushed the flamingo’s 2-foot-by-3-foot compartment into the turnstile, then continued pushing while straddling the crate.
For when standard issue OMG That’s Tacky just isn’t strong enough.

At some point Bizarro took over this planet and never looked back.
A mother is upset after a 14-year-old babysitter engaged in sexual conduct with her eight-year-old boy, and the eight-year-old was charged with lewd conduct.
Prosecutors have since dropped the charges against the boy, but his mother is still concerned.
The sexual conduct occurred during a game of “truth or dare” while the boy was being watched by the babysitter.
Prosecutors say that, while the babysitter initiated the contact, the young boy was a willing participant.
“She dared my son to touch her breasts,” says Michelle Grosbeck, the boy’s mother.

The father of the year nominations came out, and Alec has been passed over. Now, Alec Baldwin is in court versus Kim Basinger and she clearly leaked this to make him look bad, but… he kind of threw the pitch in slow-motion underhanded right over the plate.
The question of who had the jacket last comes to mind: “A first grade boy searching his jacket pocket for money found a bag of crack cocaine worth about $8,900, authorities said Wednesday. The 7-year-old, who attends Forest Hills Elementary School, found the bag at school Tuesday. It contained 89 grams of crack cocaine in chunks “the size of a large cookie,” authorities said.”
