Eagle Eye says:
A lot of these are made up on someone’s computer. You think K-Y and McDonalds are going say those things about their products? Be smarter, and by the way, don’t be scared this next election that some terrorist is going to blow up your children at the mall. Vote the Republicans out of office everywhere, and the terrorist threat will go away once the Republicans are stopped from terrorizing the mideast. We have been duped into doing Israel’s bidding for a long time, and our nation is paying for it in lives and tens of billions of your tax dollars. How could you be any smarter?

Hey Eagle Eye, if all liberals are as stupid as you than I have the utmost confidence that McCain will be our next President. The “terrorist threat” will go away if the Libs are in power huh? Does the taking of the U.S. embassy in Tehran under Carter or the 5 terrorist attacks under Clinton, including the first attempt on the Twin Towers ring a bell. Wake up moron! The terrorists won’t go away until they rule the world or we grow a pair and wipe them out, period!

Wow Check out this rumor…..
ABC will announce Monday that TLC reality star Kate Gosselin will be one of the hoofers on the next round of “Dancing With the Stars,” according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
At press time, the deal was virtually done for the now-divorced mother of eight to become one of the celebrities vying for the cheesetastic Mirrored Disco Ball.
This will be the fulfillment of a dream for Gosselin who, on Jay Leno’s ill-fated prime-time show, said she’d like to be on “Stars” because she can’t dance. “I want to laugh at myself,” Gosselin told Leno. “I so cannot dance.”
Will you Watch?

Hey everyone what do you think of this! Pretty crazy stuff! I don’t think anyone is going to stop young people from partying but what do my fellow moms think?
At Virginia Tech, where tailgating and raucous apartment complex parties are time-honored rituals, university officials are turning increasingly to Mom and Dad to curb problem underage drinking.
This semester, the school in Blacksburg, Va., began notifying parents when their under-21 students are found guilty of even minor alcohol violations such as getting caught with a beer in a dorm room.
Although it’s common for colleges to alert parents of major alcohol offenses — or when a student faces suspension — Virginia Tech is part of a small but growing number sending letters home on minor ones.
The debate about how much to involve parents in such cases is a balancing act for colleges and universities. Officials want to hold young adults accountable as they venture out on their own, are well aware that drinking is part of the college experience, and also recognize potential allies in a generation of hands-on parents who can help when things go too far.
“I think it helps students open up to parents,” said Steven Clarke, director of Virginia Tech’s College Alcohol Abuse Prevention Center. “And parents can be helpful in setting boundaries students might need.”
The beefed-up parental notification policy is part of a broader strategy that includes alcohol-education classes and a “party positive” program that encourages responsible drinking.
The student reaction to the policy change, not surprisingly, has been less than enthusiastic.
“If you have one beer in the dorm and you get caught, I don’t feel like parents should be notified,” said Erik Pryslak, a junior engineering major. “Now that we’re all in college, we’re all adults. It’s kind of your responsibility to take care of yourself. If you want to make your parents aware you’re about to be kicked out of school, then it’s on you.”
Studies show that students who say their parents would disapprove of them drinking are less likely to drink heavily once they get to college, said Toben Nelson, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health who has studied campus drinking.
At Virginia Tech, the school has operated on a “three strikes” system for years: Students get one strike for a minor alcohol violation and two for a major one — things like getting a DUI or vomiting all over a residence hall bathroom. Three strikes and a student is suspended for at least one semester.
After a spate of alcohol-related deaths on college campuses, Congress in the late 1990s changed student privacy laws to lower barriers to parental notification in cases involving students under 21.
Schools took a wide array of approaches in response. Virginia Tech started notifying parents of under-21 students after major alcohol offenses or when a student had accumulated two strikes with two minor ones.
But some parents complained that because they had not been notified of minor offenses, they were in the dark until a student was suddenly facing suspension, said Edward Spencer, Virginia Tech’s vice president for student affairs. Hence the change this semester — a move Spencer says also reflects changing times.
Parents of Generation X students were often reluctant to get involved when the school invoked an emergency clause in privacy laws and alerted them of alcohol problems, he said.
“The response would be, ‘You know, I’m leaving on a cruise. I’m going to a class reunion.’”
But today, parents of millennials tend to be tethered by cell phone to children who studies show often idolize their parents — so it makes sense to go a step further in parental involvement, he said.
“We’d like to strike a happy medium,” Spencer said. “We’re grateful for the positive involvement of parents. We find it difficult when their involvement is over-involvement.”
Research has found more than 40 percent of college students reported at least one symptom of alcohol abuse or dependance. One recent study estimated that more than 500,000 full-time students at four-year colleges suffer injuries each year related to drinking, and about 1,700 die in such accidents.
“When it comes to safety, there really is a fine line,” said Max DiSesa, a sophomore from Durham, N.H. “I completely understand Virginia Tech and they want to keep people safe. But I think this might be overall detrimental to the growth of students.”
Some universities already have found success alerting parents earlier. The University at Albany, State University of New York has seen a decline in repeat offenders since it began notifying parents of under-21 students of minor alcohol violations four years ago, said Laurie Garafola, director of residential life.
“I don’t send many second letters out to parents,” she said.
At the University of North Carolina Wilmington, the philosophy is different. The school — which like many others stresses shared responsibility to parents and students during summer orientation — does not notify parents of minor offenses. Parents, however, are notified before any under-21 student is suspended.
“Part of students coming to college is to learn how to be a responsible adult — and hopefully learn from their mistakes,” said Patricia Leonard, vice chancellor for student affairs.

Hey I saw this on E! news…. Do you guys think people should keep pets that are so dangerous when they have little kids?
Another sad dose of real life has hit the family of a reality TV star.
The 4-year-old daughter of Ax Men slinger Jesse Browning has been mauled to death by the family’s Rottweiler.
Ashlynn Anderson’s body was discovered by her mother outside on the lawn Sunday, according to officials in Astoria, Ore., where the family resides.
“Apparently, the dog just snapped,” says Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin. “We have detectives working on investigating set the dog off]…We are going to give the family a day or two to grieve before we interview them.”
Browning called 911 and the girl was airlifted to a Portland hospital, but pronounced dead on arrival.
There was no immediate comment from the History Channel, which airs the popular lumberjack series.
Bergin says the attack came four months to the day after deputies removed a Rottweiler from the premises after it attacked an adult family member; that animal was euthanized. The Brownings’ two other Rottweilers have been quarantined at a shelter and are awaiting their fate.
“It’s from my understanding…only one of the dogs was involved in the attack but both dogs were seized by animal control services,” said Alan Oja, assistant chief of the Astoria Police Department, which received the initial dispatch.
“It’s a terrible tragedy.”

I am Liberal and I thought it was hilarious. Why do you think you have to be one thing or another to think something is funny? What is wrong with everyone’s sense of humor anymore? There always has to be an ulterior motive for everything. Why?

ArtH says:
Photoshopped, but very funny nevertheless.
Not sure how clever, humorous deception like this can be distinguished from disinformation and unscrupulous manipulation of the public. If they admitted to the deception, it wouldn’t have been as successful, would it. Obviously, many accept these as real, even “Canadian” billboards without bothering to think twice. That’s fine for humor, but not so good if it spills into the serious. Just saying. Still funny to me. I probably should have stopped with my first sentence!
