A man was arrested at a Colorado Springs McDonald’s play area after telling his two children to “bite the faces off” the officers trying to arrest him. Police had to use a taser to subdue the man who had apparently passed out drunk earlier at the McD’s play area.
He’s now charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and marijuana possession.
Pajama ban
“To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted).”
Since then, shoppers wearing lounge pants (extremely common, at least in the US) have even been turned away from the store.
One wonders what must have happened to prompt the stores to post such signs. What nightwear causes offense or embarrassment? Then again, maybe we’re better off NOT knowing what happened. Yikes!
the huffington post has a lovely collection of permanent but tragically embarrassing misspelled tattoos. See link above for a good laugh

No one was injured by the fork or otherwise.
Two Chinese pop stars face a $12,000 fine for allegedly lip syncing a performance. A firm that managed their show said the star, Yin Youcan and Fang Ziyuan, are dancers so they should be exempt.
Miming was banned in China after a girl was revealed to have lip-synched at the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. The actual singer had crooked teeth and so wasn’t pretty enough to appear. (She was seven — and we thought the United States put too much pressure on girls to conform to standards of beauty. Sheesh!)
In December 2008, China banned lip-synching from the nation’s biggest TV show, which celebrates Chinese New Year.
That’s right folks, the Holiday Inn chain is testing out a human bedwarming service at three British hotels. How it works: if a customer requests it, a staffer will warm the bed up, getting between the sheets dressed in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit. (We’re picturing red footy pajamas with a button-up butt flap, but since this is Britain, it will probably be something far more plain.)
This so-called “innovative” method is a response to the recent cold snap that blanketed much of the UK in snow — something not often an issue in much of the region.
The bedwarmers will keep a thermometer with them to get the bed to the ideal temperature – 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Has it come to this, people? We can’t warm our own beds? Isn’t half the pleasure sneaking into a cool bed and snuggling in as it warms up?
This does sound like an ideal job, though. It would be a great way to tackle the unemployment issue.
What does one do, though, when the bedwarmers fall asleep or eat cookies in bed?
oops
Perhaps this is like the teenagers dressed as ninjas who recently got into trouble taking the law into their own hands. (We must dig that story up; it’s a great one!) Merely impersonating an officer is a crime in itself. Perhaps next time he should dress as a superhero instead.
Wouldn’t it be much easier to pick a winning candidate if instead of campaign speeches, mudslinging and the usual muckracking/boring of the general public, candidates had to compete Japanese game show style? Think about it: the perfect candidate is not afraid to laugh at his or herself, can handle a little competition and competes fairly. Green has my vote!
