Wall-Mart Watch For Falling Mirrors
mirror at a store fell on a 3-year-old boy, killing him, officials said.
Christopher Antonio was apparently playing near the 5-foot-tall floor-mounted mirror in the children's section of a Wal-Mart when it fell Saturday.
The toddler was likely killed by the blunt force of the crash, said Marion County Sheriff's Lt. Michael DeHart.
"The mother was approximately 5 feet away from the child when she heard a loud crash," DeHart said. The boy's 5-year-old sister was also at the store, deputies said.
His mother and another shopper pulled the mirror off the boy, DeHart said.
Wal-Mart was cooperating with investigators, said Jolanda Stewart, spokeswoman for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Dakota Fanning Naked And Raped For Oscar Gold
If you think Dakota Fanning looks dead behind the eyes now, just wait until the 12-year-old star is naked and raped in her next movie. Did that make anyone else throw up a little in their mouth? I had to hold down a full-on vomit while I typed it. But it's true. In an article last week the New York Daily News reported on a movie called Hounddog, from sicko writer/director Deborah Kampmeir. The film is a drama set in the American South, and tells the story of a troubled girl and her love of Elvis Presley. Dakota Fanning plays the troubled little girl, and apparently she's troubled because she gets brutally raped on screen. The Daily News describes it this way: The script "calls for Fanning's character to be raped in one explicit scene and to appear naked or clad only in "underpants" in several other horrifying moments." What makes the whole idea even more disgusting is that the Daily News says she may be doing it because her mommy and her agent think it can win her an Oscar. Apparently mommy hasn't seen The Woodsman. What kind of mother would put her 12-year-old daughter through something like this for a stupid statue and a few million bucks? Simulated or not, the thought of putting your little girl in that situation is abhorrent. Is it even legal for a 12-year-old girl to be naked on screen? Shouldn't anyone who goes to see the movie be arrested on the grounds that they're watching child pornography?
Mustard ice-cream is hot stuff in France
The scorching weather this summer has generated a boom in ice-cream sales in France - and a colourful explosion of exotic and bizarre flavours.
Lovers of ice-cream can now eat glaces that taste of grass or are flavoured with mustard, Roquefort cheese or oysters.
"Twenty years ago some of these flavours would have been regarded as totally dotty," said Ludovic Enée, a Paris chef who specialises in outlandish desserts. "Nobody is shocked any more."
Most of the stranger offerings can be found only in restaurants, where there is a gourmet trend towards salty or spicy ice-creams and sorbets that are served as part of a starter or main dish, not as a dessert.
Accused Paint Sniffer Arrested Again
The West Virginia man whose spray-painted face became a national icon synonymous with paint huffing has been arrested once again.
Patrick Eugene Tribett, 42, of Benwood, was arrested last week on charges of being a fugitive from justice, public intoxication and carrying a concealed weapon.
The incident began on July 14 when officers received a call that someone was sitting in a car, sniffing paint. Officers were sent to a location where they found a man sitting in a car with paint on his face and hands.
When they ordered him out of the car a paint can fell out, they said. The officers also said they recognized the man as Tribett.
Police said they found a kitchen knife in his pants pocket and also discovered that there were several outstanding arrest warrants for him for alleged parole violations and felonious assault.
JFK was a member of a vampire sect
TruthVendor can reveal that President John F. Kennedy, assassinated by persons unknown on November 22, 1963, was in fact the ringleader of a vicious breakaway vampire sect that had been plotting for centuries to take over the earth by inflitrating political institutions.
We have seen a leaked copy of the autopsy report in its state immediately prior to "cleansing" by the CIA. This document was delivered to one of our dead-drops anonymously last December and we have had it thouroughly analysed for authenticity. Now, we can reveal that it is the real deal.
JFK was probably the most popular president of the United States, at least in terms of the popularity he enjoyed whilst alive. But his trademark toothless smile held a dark secret - a pair of inch-long fangs and a thirst not only for politics but for the blood of women and small children.
Debbie Does Dallas The Musical
"Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" was created by Susan L. Schwartz for the New York Fringe Festival in 2001. The story, dialogue and characters are mostly faithful to the original film, performed as tongue-in-cheek spoof; the music features instant classics like "I Wanna Do Debbie" and "The Dildo Rag". After playing to sell-out crowds, it was picked up and had a successful 4-month run Off Broadway in 2002. Since then, it's played to packed houses around the world, and now, Stroke of Genius Productions is staging the San Francisco premiere. Directed by Eli Newsom, and starring local and national comedic talent, "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" is this summer's must-see show.
Attacker bites chunk out of mom
A Durban woman will have to undergo cosmetic surgery after her Margate holiday turned into a nightmare when an attacker bit a piece of flesh from her cheek. The chunk of flesh that was chomped out of her cheek was the size of a R5 coin Kim Bailey, 42, says she and her 15-year-old daughter, Bronwyn, were staying at her parents' home in Margate when the incident occurred. "I try to keep fit and went for beach walks along the sea in the afternoons. I was stretching my leg muscles one afternoon when I saw a man approaching. "When he reached me, he grabbed me without any warning and threw me to the ground. "He grabbed my hand and pulled me to bushes along the road. Everything happened in seconds." Assaulted, beaten and cursed Bailey said she screamed, but apparently no one heard her. Her attacker dragged her about 15m through the bushes to the beach. She was assaulted, beaten and cursed. On the beach, the man took a screwdriver out of his pocket and threatened to stab her. Bailey said she initially tried to calm her attacker and pleaded with him not to hurt her. "He grabbed my cellphone and repeatedly demanded money, but I didn't have anything on me. "I took off an expensive diamond ring and gave it to him in the hope he would leave me alone, but he just continued assaulting me."

School's scandal link to TV
BIG Brother has been linked to a school sex scandal in which two boys "turkey slapped" and exposed themselves to up to 10 girls. The father of one victim says behaviour on the reality television show may have contributed to the incident. Housemates Michael "Ashley" Cox and Michael "John" Bric were evicted from the show on July 1 for turkey slapping – one rubbed his penis in the face housemate Camilla Halliwell as the other held her. Two central Queensland schoolboys, 15 and 16, mirrored the actions of the celebrities in an out-of-control prank on July 14. "It probably gave him that extra encouragement to go and do it," the father said of the main offender. Child safety campaigner Hetty Johnston, who had raised fears about a potential copycat incident, said yesterday it was "time for Big Brother to go or be moved to a later time slot". "We should not be surprised that young people mimic the behaviour," she said. A father who spoke to The Sunday Mail said his daughter, 12, came home from the school on the day of the incident and told him: "So-and-so was running around turkey slapping all the girls." The same boys are accused of a similar incident a day earlier. Officers from the Child Protection and Investigation Unit called in by the school were to interview witnesses over the weekend.

Clothing Line Made by Prostitutes Gains Popularity
With her braided hair coming out from the side of her head and her long legs revealing years of wear and tear, Jane Eloy made her way down the runway at a Copacabana Beach hotel last week with an enormous grin. The Mercury News recently reported that after years of working as a prostitute on this city's meanest streets, Eloy, 31, was showing off brightly colored skirts, G-strings and other clothes that she and about a dozen of her colleagues had designed for the fashion line Daspu. But she was doing more than that. "We're changing people's minds about us," she told the Mercury News. "We're winning respect for what we do." Daspu is a fashion house founded and run by prostitutes whose designs have become the talk of Brazil's fashion industry nine months after its start. Its success has surprised its founders, who see its sudden prominence as a revolutionary moment for a country long ambivalent about its world-famous sex industry. Prostitutes like Eloy have been modeling their fashions practically everywhere, from seedy downtown plazas where many still work at night to trendy fashion shows attended by the well-heeled.
