Horrible Mom of the Century -- Hands Down Biggest LOSER Ever

WARNING:
MOST DISTURBING STORY WE HAVE EVER POSTED. NOT SUITABLE FOR KIND HEARTS.

"Parents of the Year Candidate" is a silly feature we run from time to time with a little tongue in cheek picture of some sleazy parent doing something totally outrageous that shows how they will pass their stupidity genes on to the next generation. This heartbreaking article from the New York Daily News goes so far beyond the pale that we are unable to find any humor in it at all. We only hope that this horrible woman (I won't even grace her with the word "mother") spends the rest of her days in jail contemplating the approaching eternity she will spend burning in the deepest pits of her own imagined hell.

Domini and Dioni were left with extra diapers when their mom abandoned them.


Mom Gives Daughters Diapers, Abandons Them On Brooklyn Street

[UPDATE BELOW] Two little girls, ages 5 and 3, were found wandering on the edge of the busy Shore Parkway in Canarsie yesterday, clutching extra diapers given to them by their mother before she abandoned them. In a particularly heartbreaking exclusive, the Daily News reports that an elderly couple noticed the girls playing on the sidewalk without supervision in front of the Bay View Houses on Shore Parkway. "They were wandering up and down the sidewalk for a while, just playing by themselves," says one witness. "It’s horrible. How could you leave your own children out there? They’re babies and you just leave them out there like that?"

The older girl tells police her name is Domini and her little sister is Dioni. They don't know what neighborhood they live in, but Domini says their mother's name is Dalisha and she was driving a white car. Domini also believes their home is on East 53rd Street (in Brooklyn), and sources say she told police, "We live in a blue house with flowers in front."

Over The Misty Mountains Cold


You have to admire Shadowca7's dedication to things nerdly. She has created music to fit all 27 verses of "The Misty Mountains" from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and sings every single one of them here.

It takes a heart of elvish gold to sit still for all SEVENTEEN MINUTES of this song, but for true fans (a.k.a. lonely geeks with no life to call their own), I'm sure it's no hardship at all. To be fair, she does have a lovely voice, and you have to give her credit for singing the harmony parts, too.

Still...seventeen minutes. If you make it all the way through, you're a far nerdlier nerd than I, my friends...or have even less of a life than me.

I feel bad for you now.


Most Disgusting Cocktail Ever?

It's called an Alien Brain Hemorrhage. It's made with peach schnapps, Bailey's Irish Cream, blue curacao and grenadine syrup. It sounds delicious, but it looks like this:


Ugh. Maybe if I closed my eyes....

To make an alien brain hemorrhage cocktail, fill a shot glass halfway with peach schnapps. Gently pour Bailey's Irish Cream on top. After the shot is almost full, carefully add a small amount of blue curacao. After it settles, add a few drops of grenadine syrup.

8 Video Game Locations You Can Actually Visit


Thanks to Danny for this submission from Travel Supermarket! Who knows....this might even inspire a few gamers to get out of their chairs and explore the real world for a change!

Tour the towering peaks of Skyrim, plumb the seedy depths of Arkham or have a super time in Mario Land. Computer games allow us to indulge our adventuring spirit and take us to places we can only dream of. While we may wish to visit these fantastical and sometimes frightening locations, we can’t.

Red Band Trailer for Bobcat Goldthwait's "God Bless America"

Bobcat Goldthwait's newest directorial outing is a film called "God Bless America" starring Joel Murry as a suicidally depressed schlub who becomes despondent by watching reality TV. Up to that point, the summary could describe most of the American middle class, but in our protagonist's case, he turns his suicidal rage outward, and goes on a mad killing spree, targeting the icons of reality TV.

Boy, how many times have you been watching TV when suddenly the Real Housewives of Someplace or Other, or the Kardashians, or Ryan Seacrest, come on the screen and suddenly you think about going on a countrywide murder spree targeting the stars of reality TV?

Huh. If I had a nickel...

There may be more "dark" than "comedy" in this dark comedy, but it might be therapeutic! I know I can hardly wait to see it. Here's your NSFW sneak peek:

Badass Councilman's Warning Letter To “Crack Dealing Piece Of Trash” Teen

Cleveland councilman Michael Polensek was incensed by the most recent arrest of an alleged drug dealer, and wrote the perp a scathing, profanity-filled letter that referred to the man as a "crack dealing piece of trash" who should "go to jail or the cemetery soon." Polensek noted, "Quite frankly, I don't care which one you get to first as long as your dumb stupid ass is out of my neighborhood."

While Polensek defended the confrontational letter in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Winston's mother said she considered the missive a threat to her son and was conferring with her lawyer.

From The Smoking Gun's July, 2007 archives. The rough language makes it NSFW, but I can't help wondering if maybe some rough language might be a more effective deterrent than the system's current revolving door policies on juvenile crime. Nothing else seems to be doing any good.

C'mon now, Councilman Polensek. It's not healthy to hold back those feelings. Tell us what you REALLY think....


The 18 Best Chain E-Mails You Got In 2004

Yes, these dumb chain letters have been around since 2004...and in most cases much longer than that! Since these horrible messages are still making the rounds today, I thought this would be a good place to archive them so the next time you receive one of these infernal emails from a well-meaning friend, you can point them here to see how silly it makes them seem!

Atheist Teen In Rhode Island Receives Death Threats

Jessica's bravery has already sparked an internet meme.
Is this how CHRISTIANS in AMERICA demonstrate their compassion and support for freedom of religion and free speech? Making death threats to a teenager expressing a personal opinion? How very Christian. How very American.

WARNING: NSFANYWHERE! This stuff is hard to see. You may not want to wade too deeply into the filth and hatred. Just reading this stuff is probably bad for you. But if you recognize any of the horrible people on these tweets....well, pray for them or something.

Seeing all the poison in the hate-speech below, it's hard to believe anyone would stand up for Jessica, but the positive backlash has been at least as fervent as the negative. One local florist has received his own share of threats (and praise) for daring to make a flower delivery to Jessica's house in support of her stand. For the complete story and regular updates, see the New York Times article on this brave student facing her ignorant town's wrath.

Best of all, visit Jessica's own site and read her views on Christian love, from the horse's mouth, as it were.


[Buzzfeed] -- And here are but a few of those frightening, decidedly un-Christian threats. 16-year-old Jessica Ahlquist successfully sued to have a prayer removed from her high school cafeteria, making her the target of online attacks and death threats which are being investigated by authorities. She now needs a police escort just to go to school.
