The Strange News Thread

Strange how long it took for Disneyland to address this. You'd think they'd have strategically placed trapdoors throughout the Magic Kingdom.



"Scuffle? What scuffle? Please..... continue listening to the Disney tunes in the land of Mickey and Minnie."

Sometimes there's a dry spell on strange news. Then other times it seems they pop up daily.

So yesterday we had this "rumble in the jungle" in Disneyland with what appeared to be members of the same family punching, slapping and cursing at each other. It took EONS for some type of security to show up. Not a good look for Mickey.


Today there's this..............

Here's an excerpt.

"What is it with 2019 and viral videos of people messing with products in supermarkets?
This year has seen an influx of people filming themselves tampering with food and drink in supermarkets and then placing the items back on the shelf for innocent and unsuspecting shoppers to purchase. Just... Why?"


So I guess this is a combination of three things: 1. People with too much time on their hands. 2. Social media. and 3. Brain damage.


So now maybe this will eventually force every manufacturer of consumable goods to put and/or improve tamper-proof measures on their products, thereby increasing their cost. All because some fucking morons need attention.

There was a video making the rounds in FB of a guy spitting into a gallon jug of iced tea. The poster commented the guy should get 30 years in prison. I'd say that's rather harsh.

25 would be more than sufficient.

Sex role-play death prompts law change plea

The sister of an adult online performer who died during a sexual role play game gone wrong has called for strict new webcamming pornography laws.

Hope Barden, 21, was found asphyxiated after carrying out a degrading sex act on the internet for a pub landlord over 250 miles away.

A coroner ruled she was unlawfully killed and Hope's mother said she was "left to die".

Hope's sister Lily has called for new regulations to prevent more deaths.
Hope was found dead in Burton-upon-Trent after filming herself "for the purposes of sexual gratification" for a "reckless" online voyeur, Staffordshire coroner Andrew Haigh said.

"The extent of his encouragement to her to carry out this act and his failure to report appropriately when she lost consciousness makes it clear that the male was so subjectively reckless as to amount to manslaughter," Mr Haigh ruled in Hope's inquest last week.

Staffordshire Police said Jerome Dangar, 45, from Tintagel, Cornwall, was online when Hope died, but made no attempt to raise the alarm.

It is understood a file was being prepared by police for submission to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider charging him with Hope's manslaughter.

Police and her family said this would have been a landmark legal first in the UK - but were denied justice when Dangar was found dead at HMP Dartmoor in April.

"Doctor wearing romper says she was kicked off plane"



Now.... I don't know about anybody else.... but I find this ridiculous.

I think the flight attendant kicked her off 'cause she has a big booty.

[TitoFan]

I think there may have some racial component to that........ but I won't mention it.

It's crazy where we've arrived in society. What's a little leg. Makes me miss the 70's and regret being to young to fly then .

Authorities: Missing Texas man was eaten by his own dogs

DALLAS (AP) — A Texas man who had been missing for months was eaten, bones and all, by his pack of dogs, sheriff’s deputies said.
Medical examiners said Tuesday that DNA testing determined that pieces of bone recovered from the dogs’ feces were those of 57-year-old Freddie Mack, according to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Aaron Pitts said the 18 mixed-breed dogs apparently devoured all of Mack’s body, his clothing and his hair, leaving nothing larger than 2- to 5-inch bone fragments.
“Never have we ever, or anyone we’ve spoken to, heard of an entire human being consumed,” Pitts told The Associated Press. “The bones were completely broken up and eaten.”
Mack had serious health problems, and it’s unclear whether the dogs killed their owner or consumed his body after he died from a medical condition. “Either way, it is a very gruesome event and we extend our sympathy to Freddie Mack’s family,” Sheriff Adam King said in a statement.
In May, a relative reported the reclusive Mack missing from his home near Venus, a community of fewer than 4,000 people about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southwest of Dallas, saying the family hadn’t heard from him since mid-April.
The aggressive dogs stopped the family from entering Mack’s property, and posed problems for deputies, who were eventually able to look around while keeping the dogs away with a “distraction method,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The deputies couldn’t locate Mack and, after days of searching, investigators returned to comb the property. Amid the high grass, they found animal feces containing bits of human hair, clothing and bone. The larger fragments were sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Remains Identification, and were eventually matched to Mack through family DNA testing.
Pitts said two of the dogs were killed by their mates, 13 were put down because of their “aggressive nature” and three have been put up for adoption.
The deputy said that Mack kept his dogs well fed and cared for. The only other time the deputies had dealt with him was in 2017, when Mack called from the hospital to ask if someone could check on his dogs, Pitts said.
“This man loved his animals,” he said.
