Thousands of baby kangaroos to be clubbed to death in new Australian government ruling


Last time I check this is the 21st century right? This isn't the 18th century. Australia thinks we're in another century though. Due to a severe drought, kangaroos are making their way into residential areas. So, how does the government decide to handle this? They let you go out and kill them! Mind you, there's already a commercial hunting industry that kills four million kangaroos a year. What's bad is the government's guidelines on how to exterminate little joeys (baby kangaroos). Read the article for their horrible process.

Teacher accused of starving cats: 'I lost track of time'


Let me first say that when I lose track of time, I lose about a few hours while I'm at work or it might be a Saturday afternoon. The main culprit for me losing time is shopping. BUT, now that I have a dog to take care of, my world revolves around this little furry, energetic, bouncy, four-legged creature. That isn't the case with Allison Dinsmore, a teacher from Florida.

Dinsmore left her apartment and her two cats in early February (no exact date was given). She left food, water, and a clean litter box and she intended to return in a few days. Ok, that's fine. My cat back home can do that although she'll get mad if you're gone for a week. But by February 23, her apartment complex manager came knocking for rent money, but discovered her dead cats. A veterinarian determined that the cats were starved to death.

What was her excuse? She lost track of time. Now she's up for felony animal cruelty charges and which she should be!

Woman breaches Asbo over noisy sex after just two days


This is just a funny story. Read on.

Caroline Cartwright, 47-years-old, of the U.K. was slapped with an Asbo (Anti-Social Behavior Order) banning her from making too much noise during sex. Uh huh, there was no typo.

Shouldn't they be glad the woman still has an active sex life with her husband?! It's not like she's going out somewhere else to get satisfied. She's doing the horizontal mambo with her husband. Apparently, her neighbor, who is partially deaf by the way, hasn't had a proper night of sleep in two years!

WAY TO GO CAROLINE!!

Woman charged with DUI twice In 3 hours


How stupid can you get? A Connecticut woman was pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. She was given a field sobriety test, and was found to be over the limit. At the police station, she was told someone could pick her car up for her. So, a friend picked her car up and also picked her up from the station.

On the way home, the same cop pulled over her car and guess who was behind the wheel?

Miss California could sue for discrimination


By now I'm sure you all have heard about the controversy surrounding Miss California (Carrie Prejean) during the Miss USA pageant. During the question period, Perez Hilton, a judge for the pageant asked a question about gay marriage. Miss Calilfornia's answer got some boo's from the crowd and some cheers, but you could obviously see the disappointment/anger on Perez Hilton's face. See the video for yourself.

It's been all over the internet, and a lot of people are speaking out against the contestant. She admits that her answer cost her the crown, and now some legal analysts are saying she could sue for discrimination!

Virginia DOT uses zig zag lines on purpose


Why is the Virginia Department of Transportation painting zig zag lines on the road? The zig zag lines are painted on a stretch of 500 feet of road to get drivers to slow down in a heavy pedestrian and bicycle area. It's the DOT's strategy to get drivers to slow down.

Of course it would slow drivers down because when they come up on the zig zag lines, they'll be wondering "what the?!" I know I would. I'd be looking around for TV cameras or something to see if someone was playing a joke.

A representative from the DOT says it's "low cost," but I'm wondering how low cost is it? You do have to shell out money for this, and don't you think they could've used this money towards something more productive instead of drawing on the road?
