A Jacksonville, Fla. based company is selling a Michael Vick chew toy for dogs. The toy sells for $7.99, and according to the product’s website, www.vickdogchewtoy.com, the “Vick Toy Doll is so strong and flexible, it will challenge even the most aggressive breeds. Especially the pit bull.” Wow. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty again? Anyway, if I were Vick I’d be tryin to get a check from this.
What do you do you when you’re the mayor of a city with one of the nation’s highest murder rates? Well if you are John F. Street, mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you wait in line on and off for 15 hours to be one of the first to purchase the new Apple iPhone. Check this:
Mayor John F. Street was among the first to get a coveted iPhone on Friday, waiting in line, on and off, for almost 15 hours and forced to defend the effort when a passer-by asked about the city’s skyrocketing murder rate.
Street’s wait on the sidewalk outside the store was anything but uneventful. He wore large Bose headphones hooked up to an iPod Nano - one of three iPods he owns - around his neck while seated on a lawn chair.
He left his spot around 11:30 a.m., soon after a 22-year-old man sporting a mohawk asked him, “How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?”
The mayor replied: “I’m doing my job.”

Whoever said “like father, like son” definitely wasn’t lying. Diddy’s 12-year-old son was photographed getting a lapdance:

Well I guess when your dad is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, life has no limits.
The KFC/Taco Bell restaurant in New York City in which video footage caught dozens of rats roaming through the facility, had passed a health inspection just the day before footage revealed the infestation. Check it out:
NEW YORK — The city health department was trying to figure out Sunday why a KFC-Taco Bell restaurant had passed an inspection the day before video footage caught a dozen rats scampering across its floors.
“It doesn’t look like the inspection that was done Thursday met our standards,” said Geoffrey Cowley, a health department spokesman. “I don’t want to prejudge that. We’re concerned and we’re going to carefully revaluate that inspection.”
The fast-food operation, located in Greenwich Village, was shut down by the city on Friday after the video of the rodents was widely broadcast and attracted streams of sidewalk gawkers. It remained closed on Sunday.

Members of the Virginia General Assembly unanimously voted to express an apology for the state’s role in slavery, the Associated Press reports. Virginia is the first state to “apologize” for slavery, and Missouri is also considering passing a similar measure:
RICHMOND, Va. - Meeting on the grounds of the former Confederate Capitol, the Virginia General Assembly voted unanimously Saturday to express “profound regret” for the state’s role in slavery.
Sponsors of the resolution say they know of no other state that has apologized for slavery, although Missouri lawmakers are considering such a measure. The resolution does not carry the weight of law but sends an important symbolic message, supporters said.
“This session will be remembered for a lot of things, but 20 years hence I suspect one of those things will be the fact that we came together and passed this resolution,” said Delegate A. Donald McEachin, a Democrat who sponsored it in the House of Delegates.
The resolution passed the House 96-0 and cleared the 40-member Senate on a unanimous voice vote. It does not require Gov. Timothy M. Kaine’s approval.
The measure also expressed regret for “the exploitation of Native Americans.”

Wow, 400 years later and a state is just now apologizing for slavery. This country is so backwards!
Britney Spears showed up at a San Fernando Valley tatoo parlor last night completely bald! This comes just a day after various TV news outlets and blogs reported that the singer had checked into rehab and checked out the same day. Wow! This girl must really be going through some stuff!
VIENNA — Hundreds of shrieking, frenzied fans welcomed Paris Hilton as she made an appearance at a Vienna mall Thursday to sign autographs.
“Hello everybody, it’s so good to see you,” the 25-year-old hotel heiress/reality TV star cooed as the crowd went crazy. “Happy late Valentine’s Day!”
The session was cut short when several objects landed on the stage and Hilton was whisked away by security guards.
Richard Lugner, who is Hilton’s Vienna host, said the flying objects included cigarette packs, tissues and lipsticks. The 74-year-old married construction magnate invites a celebrity to the city’s prestigious Opera Ball each year. His previous guests include Geri Halliwell, Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.
The Austria Press Agency reported that sheets of paper that floated onto the stage were fliers from a communist youth organization.
Hilton later dismissed the incident as “no big deal” and said she loved her fans, APA reported.

LOL! This is so funny. That’s what she gets. I’m sure yall heard about this trick using the N-word, right?
So if you watched the American Idol auditions from San Antonio last night, you should recognize these two. The guy, whose name is Akron Watson, was told by Simon that he lacks personality, and the judges disliked the girl’s (whose name is Ashlyn Carr) facial expressions. Well it turns out both have records. Watson was ousted just days before the Hollywood round of competition, after it was discovered he had been arrested for marijuanna possession in 2003. From my understanding, Carr is still in the competition, but it was discovered she had been previously been arrested for pouring sugar into the gas tank of her former boyfriend’s car.
Okay so I thought that story about the Cartoon Network character creating a bomb scare in Boston was crazy, but this one definitely takes the prize of the craziest story of ‘07 so far. Lisa Nowak, a 43-year-old U.S. astronaut, has been charged with attempted murder, after driving 900 miles from Houston, Texas to Orlando, Florida to attack her “rival.” Get this, she wore an adult diaper so that she would not have to make any ’stops’ along the way. This chick is CRAZY! Her “rival” was Colleen Shipman, another astronaut, and they were supposedly dating the same guy (who was also an astronaut.)
Nowak went to the Orlando International Airport, dressed in a wig and trenchcoat, and attacked Shipman with pepperspray. Authorities also found a BB gun, a knife, and a steel mallett in her bag. She was arraigned today and charged with attempted murder, but was released on $25,000 bail as long as she wears a tracking device and stays away from Shipman.
Okay so this chick’s mind was “out of this world.” Now this is definitely some news that makes you say: WTF? Read more about this bizzare story over at Yahoo! News.
Happy Saturday people! Check out these odd, yet funny stories I found across the web:
Wisconsin Police Chief Gives Himself $235 Ticket
Police Chief Richard Knoebel of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, wrote himself a ticket for $235 and took 4 points off of his driving record, after he passed a school bus that had its emergency lights flashing. Well, at least he was honest… [more]
Shower Sex Controversy At Yale
Professor Jonathan Holloway, the master of Calhoun College (a residential college at Yale), sent out an e-mail to 330 students in which the professor protested against a couple who had been having sex in the shower stalls. The subject line of the e-mail read “shower stalls are for showering” and that students should refrain from “intimate activity in the shower, especially that kind of activity that leaves the showers in a decidedly less hygienic state.” The professor reached his boiling point after the couple’s activites caused the showers to flood for over an hour. Wow, I didn’t think an Ivy League like Yale would have those kinds of problems. [more]
Coach Fired Over Suggestive Comment
A high school basketball coach in Maine has been fired after he told his team to reach into their pants and “check their manhood.” He also told the players that the game was about “who had the biggest dick in town.” And get this: the statements he made were read to the local school board, and after being asked if those comments were appropriate, the coach responded: “We won.” LOL!
