Shark kills Jewish guy swimming with them.

Daily Mail: Remains found after father-of-four is savaged by shark off an Israeli beach - as trolls' AI images of 'anti-Semitic beasts' spark fury.

'Help' and 'they're biting me' were among the man's final words as he thrashed his arms in the air helplessly before being dragged out to sea.

[.]

This beach area is said to be well-used among swimmers and surfers, who play with the sharks' fins and throw fish for them to eat. 

Get in the water with sharks, play with them, feed them, swim with them. What can go wrong?

Let's eat at FlyDining.

Daily Mail: Heart-stopping moment diners nearly plunge to their deaths from 'restaurant in the sky''.

The terrifying incident occurred at a concept restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday as a group of guests sat suspended more than 100 feet in the air.

Footage taken by one diner showed the platform operated by FlyDining appear to buckle as guests screamed in horror high above the ground.
[.]
'In mid air at 100 feet the cable SNAPPED! In that moment, all I could do was pray and tell everyone to stay calm.'

In a separate video, another diner was seen pointing her camera toward the ground below and asking, 'Who signed me up for this?'

Within seconds, the clip showed, the platform became unstable.
[.]
FlyDining franchise owner Scott Zuckerman told El Nuevo Dia that there was no risk to the 13 guests or staff, who were safely lowered to the ground.

'A minor incident occurred where a safety rope used for wind protection was released, causing slight movement that led to the roof of the platform to make contact with the boom of the crane,' FlyDining Puerto Rico said in a statement posted on Instagram shortly after the incident Sunday.

'There were no structural failures or safety risks, and all systems remained secure.'

"...a slight movement..." 🙄 

Comment from the article:

Who would willingly do this? Contestants for a Darwin Award is my guess. 

We lack gardening tools.

CBS: Philadelphia activist trying to make streets safer by forging guns into jewelry, art and tools. 

Shane Claiborne, a Tennessee native, grew up around guns. But when he moved to North Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, he saw too many lives lost to gun violence. [Violence caused by guns or criminals with guns? There's a difference. - DD]

He felt he had to do something, so two years ago Claiborne opened RAWtools Philadelphia.

"My philosophy is any gun we can chop up makes the world a little safer," he said.

"It's mindboggling what people have," Claiborne said of the weapons collected by the shop. "We've had grenade launchers, Uzis, weapons of war."

A lifelong activist, Claiborne has been to warzones to advocate for nonviolence, but never thought he'd be fighting a war on his home front.
[.]
"That was one of those wake up moments where our country was like never again, but then we let it happen again and again," he said.

After that, Claiborne joined the RAW effort, breaking down guns into jewelry, art and garden tools. On average, the group collects 1,000 guns a year.

He's been to "warzones." Tell us. Name them. The story doesn't identify which warzones, but I'd like to know if he's been to downtown Philly, Chicago, Baltimore, SF or LA late at night or the early AM.

Nor do "we" let it happen again and again. The revolving doors of courtrooms and judges who give lenient sentences or slaps on the wrist to repeat offenders allow this to happen. Don't allow people like Claiborne to paint law-abiding gun owners as the cause of gun violence because we're not.

The story refers to RAW. This is RAW.

These are some of RAW's board members and no, we're not surprised.

BTW - where do I git me a dozen or so of them grenade launchers?

Pistol > Bear Spray.

The Gun Feed: Bear-Spraying Robber Says “Happy Holidays” Before Jewelry Store Owner Shoots Her.

GARDENDALE, AL – A jewelry store owner in Gardendale, Ala. (roughly 10 miles from Birmingham) shot a robber on Dec. 6, stopping the robbery attempt in its tracks.

In an interview with AL.com , store owner Jeff Dennis said that the robber – one Heather Denise Wright, 32 – blocked the door of Jeff Dennis Jewelers after she entered the store, alerting him to an incipient robbery and prompting him to draw his concealed pistol.

After blocking the door, Wright said, “Happy Holidays! I don’t want to hurt y’all, but I am,” and started hosing the inside of the store down with bear spray.

Owner Jeff Dennis feared for his safety and that of his employees. Once she started using the spray, he fired and struck Wright in the shoulder, causing her to drop her purse and scream for him to stop and flee the scene.

Dennis hit the store alarm, alerting authorities, and closed the store.

Wright was found later that day, after which she was arrested and taken into custody as well as to University of Alabama Hospital. Dennis said he found additional weapons in her purse, which was left at the scene.

Hit the link for the rest of the story. 

I'm so entertained by the part where, after she's shot, she drops her purse and screams ,"stop!" 🤣  She's lucky she didn't get the full Rittenhouse.

I thought she wanted to rumble? If it'd be me, I'm not sure I wouldn't have reflexively pulled the trigger a second time just to be sure.

"Ow! You shot me in the shoulder. Stop!" "Pew-Pew."

The pistol caliber isn't stated.

Ahhhhhh...live, love, laugh. And pull the trigger. 🤣 

What not to do if you murder.

OAN: Man Accused Of Killing Wife Allegedly Texted It Was ‘More Satisfying than You Can Imagine’.

John Wonder was arrested after his wife was found dead with his last name written on her leg in blood and texts show him saying how “satisfying” and “easy” the murder was.
[.]
“Hey kiddo. Sorry about the mess,” Wonder allegedly wrote. “It’s way easier and much more satisfying than you can imagine. See you around.”

Yeah, you want to forgo texting others about your alleged criminal activities. 

I'm curious what tactics a criminal defense attorney will employ. 

Guy should've divorced and walked away. Unless he made it look like an accident. Stop it! No!

Social Media Meltdown over KFC ad showing only black people eating chicken without utensils!

VIBE (on Yahoo): Black Twitter Calls Out KFC’s Latest Campaign As “Racially Tone Deaf”.

Black Twitter has deemed Kentucky Fried Chicken’s latest campaign “racially tone deaf.”

On Thursday (Aug. 24), KFC Canada’s Director of Marketing, Azim Akhtar, revealed their ad on X/Twitter. He uploaded three pictures of the new advertisement featuring an all-Black cast of people licking their fingers.

“Sorry Utensils, It’s Finger Lickin’ Good,” Akhtar typed. “Latest campaign, I couldn’t be more proud!!” Black Twitter caught wind of the promotion and labeled the billboards racist. Some people questioned the intention behind casting all-Black actors for the ad, when everyone enjoys fried chicken.

“1. So [white] people don’t lick their fingers? 2. We still not eating this (in this country),” one social media user xweeted. “3. I just know it’s a Black person on the creative team like, ‘I knew this wasn’t a good idea, but they don’t listen to me, so I just clock in…do my work…[and] go home.'”
[.]
KFC Canada’s creative director responded to the backlash on Friday (Aug. 25), apologizing for “not being more thoughtful.” “My earlier post didn’t capture the full diversity of our latest campaign, and I personally apologize for not being more thoughtful in my excitement to share the campaign and only sharing certain photos,” he xweeted. “Here is the 60-second spot that is more representative of Canada’s diversity and our creative.”

However, that apology wasn’t enough for some. “You being the Director of Marketing,” another person expressed. “Sharing multiple gigantic billboards with black folks eating fried chicken licking their fingers is simply not it. No matter how diverse you feel this ad is.”

WATTPoulty: Sorry, utensils: KFC Canada’s chicken doesn’t need you.

Set to the instantly recognizable Air Supply’s “All Out of Love,” the campaign showcases people eating some of the brand’s most popular food by hand and issues a heartfelt apology to the abandoned spoons and forks.
[.]
“You can’t help but go all in and dig in, no utensils needed, with food so good you can’t help but lick your fingers.”

ERRRMMAAAGAAWWWWD! People in an ad who are black eating chicken without using utensils? When do the International Criminal Court Trials start at The Hague?

One: I don't know what Black Twitter is. I'm guessing Twitter accounts written by black people or people who identify as black. 

Two: You've already lost me as a potential consumer on whatever your message is if you're using Air Supply's "All Out of Love." Were the musical rights to "Seasons In The Sun" unavailable? I never liked "All Out of Love". It's a lame song for cucks or incels. Fucking Air Supply. 🤣 

Here's the LINK, (I'll never run any Air Supply song on this blog) to the "All Out of Love" apology ad, with a vibrant mix and diversity of people eating chiggun but not using utensils. The Horror! The Obscenity of it All.

New York City releases new PSA on nuclear attack.

Washington Times: New York City releases new PSA on nuclear attack.

It’s never the wrong time to be prepared for anything …  including a nuclear attack.

That was the thinking behind New York City’s Emergency Management Department in a new  public service announcement it released Monday.

The 90-second clip starts off by showing a desolate NYC with sirens going off in the background.

“So there’s been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why. Just know that the big one has hit. OK, so what do we do?” the announcer says.

The city’s advice? Get inside, stay inside and tune into the media for updates.

Yeah...Teh Media will advise what to do.

Boris Johnson, World Contender to-date for Most Stupid Comment of The Year.

India Today: Putin would not have embarked on Ukraine war if he were a woman: British PM Boris Johnson.

Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have embarked on a “crazy, macho war” against Ukraine if he were a woman, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

In an interview with the German media at the end of the G7 Summit in Schloss Elmau this week, Johnson pointed to Putin’s machismo as a contributory factor in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
[.]
“If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t, if he were, I really don’t think he would have embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has,” Johnson told broadcaster ZDF.

"Boris is assigning gender identity based on appearance! REEEEE! What he said is typical of the patriarchal sexist heteronormative gender-intolerance! REEEEE! He's saying women can't wage war! REEEEE!"

 

“If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t..." - Brilliant observation Cap'N Obvious.

Amazon workers demand time off to ‘grieve’ SCOTUS abortion ruling: report.

NY Post: Amazon workers demand time off to ‘grieve’ SCOTUS abortion ruling: report.

Amazon employees upset over the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade asked the company for “space and time” to “grieve” and “protest against this assault on our rights,” according to a leaked letter.

The petition was reportedly signed by hundreds of employees at the Seattle-based retail giant, according to Insider. A copy of the petition was posted online by the Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.”

The letter also demands that Amazon “cease operations in states that enact laws that threaten the lives and liberty of abortion seekers, either by denying healthcare in life threatening circumstances or by criminalizing abortion seekers and providers.”

Connecticut is Party Zero for coronavirus spreading over states and countries.

Daily Mail: Connecticut 40th birthday gathering of 50 guests from across the US and abroad is dubbed 'Party Zero' after half became infected with coronavirus - and spread the disease across several states and countries.

A 40th gathering in Connecticut has been dubbed 'party zero' after guests became infected and spread coronavirus across several states and the around the world.

About 50 guests reportedly gathered on March 5 at a home in the wealthy suburb of Westport for a lavish buffet and celebration.

After the event, roughly half of those at the party became infected with the disease, then transmitted it to other states and the rest of the world.

According to the New York Times, guests left that evening for Johannesburg, New York City, other parts of Connecticut and the wider US.
[.]
On the day of the party Connecticut did not have a single recorded case of coronavirus, but as of today 10 people in the state have died with 415 infections.

More than 50 people currently are hospitalized with COVID-19 in Connecticut.

In Westport state officials say there have been 74 cases of infection.

The upmarket enclave remains the Connecticut community with the highest number of infections.

The original video: 

Challenge and Mission Accomplished, Larz (who went by the Twitter name gayshawnmendes).

A moron who is taking up a hospital bed and precious, limited medical resources for no other reason than being a complete dimwit. Larz should be at the end of the end of the end of the end of the line of people receiving treatment for Covid-19.

Larz is the same moron who "ate some ice cream and put the lid back on the container".

The Hook: Someone Just Got Caught By The Police For Doing The ‘Eating Shop Ice Cream’ “Prank”.

Twitter user @GAYSHAWNMENDES posted the video to the social media site showing him opening a tub of ice cream, scooping some out with his fingers like a psycho, offering some to the person behind the camera who did the same, having some more himself, and then throwing it back in the fridge when he got nervous.

Mr. Peanut's death postponed due to Kobe Bryant.

Mr. Peanut

Collider: Mr. Peanut’s Death Was Inspired by ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

The plan was that Mr. Peanut’s funeral would be broadcast in a Super Bowl commercial during the third quarter of the big game, but the commercial and all promotional content has been paused indefinitely following the real-life death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant on Sunday.
[.]
Speaking with MSN before the commercial was pulled, Group Creative Director at Planters’ agency VaynerMedia [sic], Mike Pierantozzi, said the idea to kill off Mr. Peanut was inspired by Tony Stark’s death in Avengers: Endgame. No, really:

    “We started talking about how the internet treats when someone dies — specifically, we were thinking about fictional characters, [like when] Iron Man died. When Iron Man died, we saw an incredible reaction on Twitter and on social media. It’s such a strange phenomenon.”
[.]
They went the somber route and took Mr. Peanut’s death incredibly seriously, hyping up his “funeral” that would be broadcast during the Super Bowl. The idea backfired, as we now know, and it’ll be curious to see if and when this “commercial” sees the light of day.

“We wanted you to know that we are saddened by this weekend’s news and Planters has paused all campaign activities, including paid media, and will evaluate next steps through a lens of sensitivity to those impacted by this tragedy,” a spokesperson for Planters reportedly said.

Maybe brands shouldn’t use death as a way to advertise their content? Just a thought.

The Death of Mr. Peanut Super Bowl ad which won't air due to the death of Kobe Bryant:
 

I'm undecided on which is the more stupid move, it's a coin toss. The ad agency so creatively bankrupt that they steal borrow a narrative as old as time itself with their best pitch being killing an iconic Brand character, or the company making the product that approves the killing of its iconic Brand character.

How hard is it to sell the Planter's brand?

A head's-up to Lucky the Leprechaun, Tony Tiger, the Trix rabbit, Mr. Clean and other Brand Characters out there. Beware if your employer hires VaynerMedia as their PR/Ad Reps.
