Cretins Feign Quint Pregnancy as Cash Scam

If these cretins weren’t so greedy they’d have said it was triplets to buy more time and less scrutiny. These creeps preyed on one of the more neighborly parts of America. In fact, it was the concern of the community for the pre-natal care of the quints that lead to the downfall of the greedy […]

Brave SC Gator Victim Better-Back to Work

Terms like “hero” and bravery are thrown around a lot. Mr Hedden, is brave man, a remarkable guy and I like to think a bit of a tough son-of-a-gun. Wonderfully glad to hear he’s feeling better and back to work.

Pastor to Protest Books at South Park Urban Outfitters

 Urban Outfitters is a brave and edgy retailer who in the past has sold such edgey items as the “Ghettopoly”  game and a glittering hand gun Christmas ornament to  vocal protests.

Dentist Who Sold Alistar Cooke’s Pelvis Turns Snitch

Apparently human remains are worth more than they used to be and where there’s a demand-a supply will follow.
