Elderly Man Busted With $276,000 Taped to His Crotch

German customs officers stopped an elderly husband and wife for a routine road check and found €8,000—about $11,000— in the woman's clothes. Then they discovered her husband was carrying a lot more cash in a much less comfortable location.

A patdown revealed he had taped nearly €200,000 ($276,000) in cash, divided into four bundles, to his genitals. The European Union requires travelers carrying more than €10,000 across the border to declare it to customs or face a large fine.

The couple, from the central German state of Hesse, said no when asked if they were carrying more than the allowed amount.

They were stopped near Trier, close to the border between Germany and Luxembourg, which has an international reputation as a tax haven. Luxembourg only last year started sharing information on its famously secretive banking system with foreign tax authorities. As recently as last month, it vetoed EU attempts to close its tax loopholes.

In other groin-based smuggling news, U.S. Customs announced it busted a Trinidadian man trying to smuggle $70,000 worth of heroin through JFK Airport by hiding it in his crotchal region.

Why does everyone think that you can hide anything in your crotch? That's like the go to spot, of course they are going to check there. Should have rigged up a spot in the car

Yes, how unfortunate for her that the pesky human's body dented her car.

If I was a judge Id revoke her license, fine the **** out of her, and give her community service, and make her pay all medical bills and damages of the cyclist. Im amazed this woman can see to text what with her head so far up her own ass.

Do Not Drive Across a Flooded Roadway Like These Dumbasses in Vermont

A group of idiot drivers in Cambridge, Vermont drove through moving floodwaters along the Lamoille River on Tuesday after heavy rains pushed the river above its banks. While the cars made it safely across, just one or two more inches of water would have likely resulted in their being washed off the road and killed.

More than half of all flooding-related deaths in the United States occur in vehicles. If you think the weight of your car will save you from getting swept away, you're wrong. Floodwaters as little as six inches deep can provide enough buoyancy to allow the force of the moving water to carry you away to a probable death.

When a road is flooded or has moving water running across it, do not drive across it. Turn around, don't drown. You are not invincible and you cannot always tell how deep the water is until it's too late.

People who intentionally drive through a flooded roadway not only put themselves in danger, but they are unnecessarily risking the lives of those who have to come out and try to save them from their own stupidity.

Don't be like those idiots in the video. If you come across a flooded roadway, find another way to get where you need to go.

Man Faces Felony Charges for Licking Police Officer's Eyeball

A 34-year-old man faces charges of felony assault and assault with a bodily fluid after he allegedly licked the eyeball of a police officer attempting to arrest him on Saturday.

As first reported in the Smoking Gun, Christopher Hiatt called Butte, Montana police on Saturday night to report a theft. Things took a turn for the worse for Hiatt when responding officers discovered an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

At first, Hiatt resisted arrest, though police eventually managed to get him in handcuffs. That wasn't the end of the ordeal, though. As officers tried to force him into a squad car, Hiatt allegedly leaned forward and licked one of their eyeballs. All of this occurred in front of Butte's famous Pisser's Palace bar.

Hiatt is being held on four charges. His bond was set at $45,000.

Watch a Train Driver Kick a Selfie-Taking Teen in the Head

[YT]Dy8Yt-P614w[/YT]

For reasons that remain unclear, a teenager named Jared Michael recently attempted to take a selfie in front of an oncoming train. Despite being a "safe distance" from the train, things didn't go exactly as Michael expected.

As you can see in the video, the train's engineer thought the close-to-a-speeding-train picture was bad idea (it is), so he yelled and then kicked Michael directly in the head.

"Wow that guy just kicked me in the head!" Michael says in the video. "I think I got that on film!"

Let this be a lesson for teens everywhere.

http://uproxx.com/webculture/2014/04/train-selfie-video/

If only more of these selfie taking teens would get kicked in the head while doing it maybe we could rid ourselves of this stupid fad

Man Threatens Clerk with Submachine Gun Over 22-Cent Tax

Police say a Chicago man carrying a Gucci satchel pulled out a submachine gun when a convenience store clerk tried to charge him a 22-cent soda tax this weekend.

According to court documents, 36-year-old Nahshon Shelton was trying to buy a $1.79 two-liter bottle of Pepsi at Madison Grocery and Beauty in Chicago when the clerk informed him that he actually owed $2.01.

When the clerk explained the price discrepancy was the state's soda tax, police say Shelton pulled a .22-caliber Intratec submachine gun out of a Gucci satchel and threatened to kill everyone inside.

Shelton later justified himself to police saying, "I'm tax exempt," and explaining, "Man, you know what, I'll keep it real. I had to put them in their place."

Police say Shelton's gun was loaded with one round in the chamber, eight rounds in one magazine and five in a second clip.

Shelton is currently facing five charges and is being held without bail.

Here's The Guy Charged With Leaving Bags At Boston Marathon Finish Line

This is the 25-year-old Boston man who allegedly left two backpacks at the Boston Marathon finish line Tuesday night and got himself arrested for his troubles. His name is Kevin Edson, though he's now apparently going by Kayvon. He is, or was, a student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Earlier tonight, Barstool found Edson's Facebook page, which has his name listed as "Kayvon Edson." (Alysha Palumbo of NECN was the first to ID him as "Kevin Edson.") Edson's Facebook header is a photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, along with some text:

Edson seems to be involved in performance art, posting videos on a YouTube channel called "Nat Sel," short for Natural Selection.

[YT]hYXbBjRvJyc[/YT]

Here's a photo of a post from naturalselection.net, the website advertised on Edson's YouTube channel. There was a post published today, devoted to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. One of the photos was on Edson's Facebook page.

[Teelie]

It's "performance art" so he must think he is expressing himself in some way instead of being a string of censored words I could describe him with instead.

ABC News Demands Pulitzer Credit; Prize Winners Call ABC Idiots

SEXPAND
ABC News has never won a Pulitzer Prize, since Pulitzers are not for television. That didn’t stop ABC News president Ben Sherwood from demanding that the awards committee (which doesn’t recognize television) recognize ABC for its role in the reporting that won another (non-television) outlet a Pulitzer earlier this week. Sherwood’s public campaign has already turned ugly.

On Monday, the Pulitzer committee awarded its investigative-journalism prize to Chris Hamby of the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit journalism outfit based in Washington, D.C., for Hamby's “Breathless and Burdened” series about the systemic denial of medical benefits to coal miners with black lung disease. In addition to publishing Hanby's writing itself, CPI shared his reporting with ABC News, which in collaboration with Hamby assembled a Nightline segment, anchored by Brian Ross, that aired in October of 2013.

On Tuesday, an aggrieved Sherwood delivered a four-page letter, to both CPI and the Pulitzer committee, in which he demanded the formal recognition of Ross and ABC News reporter Matthew Mosk for their work on Hamby’s series. Sherwood delved into the details of ABC News’ own reporting, and the lack of credit it apparently received, during the network’s year-long partnership with CPI.

Sherwood’s complaint isn’t necessarily invalid, on its face. As his letter noted, several other groups that recognized CPI for Hamby’s reporting—including the Society of Professional Journalists, the White House Correspondents Association, and Harvard’s Shorenstein Center—also recognized and awarded ABC News.

But those various other honors are designed to include television. As Sherwood’s letter acknowledged, the Pulitzers exclusively recognize newspaper and online reporting. Still, the executive spun this into an indictment of Hamby’s own work: “Do you really believe that Hamby and CPI would have been recognized with this honor without the contributions of ABC News?”

Later, he added: “For us, this is a matter of integrity.” Because ABC News is not just a moving-pictures show, but a journalistic enterprise worthy of a big award for words-users, Sherwood also quoted Webster’s Dictionary's definition of “integrity.” (He did not specify whether he was quoting Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, one of its various later editions, or something from among the contending contemporary field of Merriam-Webster’s, Random House Webster’s, Encarta Webster’s, et al.)

He wrapped it all up with a threatening flourish:

We will certainly raise this with the Pulitzer Board. And, in the interest of openness and transparency, we will also raise this with your Board of Directors.
Today the Center for Public Integrity’s executive director, Bill Buzenberg, shot back with a lengthy fisking of Sherwood’s letter:

The truth is that ABC did not join the investigation until part-way through, it focused on only one part of a multi-part series, and its reporting was sporadic and almost entirely geared toward the needs of television, not original content for the print series.
Buzenberg will see your threat to go to his board of directors and raise you a threat of his own:

The Center is prepared to show in great detail how little ABC's Brian Ross and Matt Mosk understood about even the most fundamental concepts and key facts and how they repeatedly turned to Chris to advise them or, in some instances, to do their work for them.

ABC depended to a remarkable degree on Chris’ access to sources, documents and data and his expertise on complex issues — all of which repeatedly saved ABC from making embarrassing factual errors in broadcast segments and online stories. ... It is incredibly insulting for ABC to not only fail to acknowledge Chris’ indispensable work solely for ABC’s benefit, but to go even further and suggest that the opposite is true — that the Center is downplaying ABC’s work. ...

The contributions of Brian and Matt do not come close to warranting a byline. We nonetheless inserted their names in the byline fields at ABC’s insistence because we hoped to foster a sense of trust and partnership. It is clear now that ABC’s intent all along was simply to attach their names more prominently to this story for use later in precisely the way you now are: as a weapon to wield in an attempt to claim undue credit.
Journalist-on-journalist carnage is rarely so open, or so bilious, especially when obituary-worthy awards are on the line. Then again, television news has never attracted, or rewarded, humble folk. According to Poynter, an ABC spokesperson repeatedly “threatened [Buzenberg] and the Center saying they would make this very ‘messy’ ... unless they got what they wanted.”

It’s not obvious what happens next. An ABC News spokesperson shot down the possibility of litigation: “Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No.” The reporter at the center of the controversy, Chris Hamby, has already decamped for BuzzFeed’s investigations team.

“We don’t expect the Pulitzers to change their rules about who’s eligible and who’s not,” the ABC spokesperson added, “but we do think that’s important for the people we partner with to honor and acknowledge what happened.”

Poor ABC haha

Florida Teacher Has Sex With Student, Gets Pregnant, Gets Abortion

A Tampa Bay-area high school teacher was arrested this week after admitting she'd had sex "20 to 30 times" with an underage student and aborted a pregnancy that resulted from the illicit relationship.

Jennifer Christine Fichter taught English at Central Florida Aerospace Academy, a public voc-tech in Polk County. But now she faces multiple counts of sex with a minor, according to the Tampa Tribune:

The relationship began in November and the sex occurred during early morning hours in Fichter's Toyota pickup truck, according to a police affidavit.

The teen told detectives he and the teacher met for sex three times in the parking lot of a Lakeland apartment complex and three times at a location off New Tampa Highway. He also said they had sex four times outside the city in Polk and Hillsborough, and those incidents are under investigation in those counties, Lakeland police said.
Fichter is 29; the student in question is 17.

His mother apparently caught wind of the relationship from text messages she'd noticed on his phone after he was out at all hours, according to the report. After confronting the boy, his family cooperated with police to stage and record an incriminating phone conversation with Fichter:

During the call, Fichter admitted she became pregnant with the teen's child and had an abortion, the affidavit said.

Fichter also said she was in love with the student, had sex with him 20 to 30 times, wanted to maintain the relationship and did not regret her actions, according the affidavit.
Fichter's staff profile had already been removed from the school's website Wednesday.

At no point in time would anyone in the Tampa Bay area claim that Polk county is part of it. But this lady is stupid, find an adult to have fun with

Rapper Reportedly Cuts Off Penis, Jumps Off Balcony in Suicide Attempt

Andre Johnson, an L.A.-based, Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper, jumped off a second-story balcony Wednesday morning in an apparent suicide attempt after cutting off his own penis, TMZ is reporting.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ they responded to a call and found Johnson lying on the sidewalk at a North Hollywood apartment building critically injured. He is now at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The status of his penis is unknown.

Johnson, a.k.a. Christ Bearer, is a member of the duo Northstar, who were discovered by Wu-Tang's RZA outside an L.A. radio station in 1998. The Wu-Tang producer took them on and provided beats for their 2004 debut, RZA Presents Northstar.

Johnson is also affiliated with other groups in the Wu empire, including West Coast Killa Beez. Just yesterday, he released this music video with Rugged Monk of Wu-group Black Knights.

Update: TMZ confirms the man in the incident was Christ Bearer, and reports other members of Northstar who live in the same building said the self-mutilation and dive off the balcony came suddenly and without warning. They say Johnson wasn't on "any hard drugs" that would cause him to do such a thing.

Meko the Pharaoh is the only other official member of Northstar, but the Wu-Tang spinoff group has its own affiliates, including Black Knights.

Update 2: CNN reports the severed penis was transported to the hospital. No word on whether it's being reattached.

If your going to kill yourself already cutting off your own penis seems to be an extra layer of stupid.

There are several jokes I'm holding back on just how crazy that was.

 

[Anubis]

Well, maybe he cut his penis off to give him more incentive to go through with the killing of himself.....of course he probably shoulda tried jumping off a 3 story building....at the very least.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

There are several jokes I'm holding back on just how crazy that was.

Bet he's regretting not jumping off a higher balcony.

 

[Teelie]

If he's lucky they can surgically repair him.

 

[Anubis]

Then he'd have to be that dude who cut his junk off and then jumped off a too short building.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

If he recovers I would advise him to stay away from any and all rap battles because the other MCs will be able to destroy him

Florida Woman on Crack Gives Birth in Motel, Bites off Umbilical Cord

A pregnant Florida woman delivered her baby in a motel bathtub, and that's the least bizarre thing about the circumstances of the child's entry into this mad, mad, mad, mad world.

Chrystal Hassell, 37, had checked into an Ocala, Fla., motel room with her boyfriend and her 11-month-old child, and proceeded to smoke crack for an entire day. Although she was only 7 months pregnant, she started going into labor.

Hassell's boyfriend, Vincent Terry, had left the motel to run an errand, so she delivered the baby herself in the motel bathtub, chewing through the umbilical cord with her teeth.

Afterward, she called Terry and asked him to come back, but he was pulled over for speeding on the way. An officer might have been understanding under the circumstances, but Terry was wanted for attempted murder in Colorado, News 13 reported.

Hassell waited an hour before calling 911, giving the baby breaths to keep it alive, investigators say. She's being charged with child neglect.

The unfortunate baby was airlifted to a Gainesville hospital in critical condition, and the 11-month-old has been placed in foster care. Both parents are now in jail in Marion County.

Florida Man Named Edward Cocaine Is Arrested for Drug Possession

He's just a man. A man with a dream. A dream of not getting pulled over all the time because of the name he inherited. Also, a dream of allegedly doing some drugs, which, you know, irony!

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel tells the story of Ed Cocaine, the man the authorities came to blame:

"What?" uttered a stunned County Judge John "Jay" Hurley.

"My last name is Cocaine," proudly stated the man at the podium. His name was indeed legal and inscribed on his driver's license.

"You know, I'd thought I'd seen it all," Hurley laughed, shaking his head. "How many times have the police told you to step out of the car during your life?"

"Just about every time I get pulled over," a chuckling Cocaine admitted.

The 34-year-old Fort Lauderdale man, arrested Tuesday in Pembroke Pines, explained how he got his name. "My great-grandparents came over here from Greece and they changed it," he said. "That was like in the 1920s."
Cocaine, by the way, was arrested for possession of... Xanax. Didn't see that coming, did you.

But let's not laugh at him. His story is the story of America! Of high hopes and new beginnings. Also, it's probably an improvement over the Old World family name, Crackadopolis.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/fl-man-named-cocaine-20140416,0,1204962.story

So was that like the family trade back in the day or did that mean something else way back when?
