It's time once again for... Too Incredibly Freakin' Stupid News

No Toys with my Happy Meal?
(source ABC News) - County officials in Santa Clara, CA, the home of Silicon Valley, are trying to curb childhood obesity. They voted Tuesday to ban restaurants from giving away toys and other freebies that often come with high-calorie meals aimed at kids.
The ordinance is largely symbolic as it would only cover unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County, meaning only about a dozen fast-food outlets and several other family-owned restaurants would be affected.
The ordinances chief sponsor says it's still important because it paves the way for other areas to act, may spur action by fast-food chains to offer healthier choices and can help parents by taking away a child's incentive for wanting less healthy food.

Okay, let me get this straight... Happy meals and other child meals can't have toys or goodies? What the hell is wrong with those people? Half the time the kids are too preoccupied with the toys to eat the food you have to buy to get it. It makes the kids happy and the parents a little less frazzled.
I know... One in four children in this country are obese. Well, I don't think a little plastic toy is the cause of it, nor the 'Children's Menu' choices at the fast food restaurants. It is the freakin video games that the kids are allowed to play for hours on end, sitting on the couch without any exercise (with exception to maybe their thumbs). How about making PE classes mandatory in schools? How about mom and dad limiting the time the kids can play the video games, and make them go outside and play for a change? How about someone in California using some freakin' common sense... Wait, most everyone with common sense has since left California with their Draconian taxes and ignorant, 'I know what's good for you' politicians. This country is going to hell fast with high unemployment, even higher taxes, and our so-called leaders are telling us we can't have salt, or the kids can't have a freakin' toy with their happy meal? I think it's time to vote a bunch of these idiots out of office before we're all forced to eat bean sprouts and tofu!

Actress Upset over Global Warming Sceptics
(source Fox News) - Since global warming has become a hotly debated topic recently, as many people are now questioning whether it is an issue worthy of serious concern or whether it’s simply a marketing term concocted by “green” companies to boost their profile and profits..
But Brooke Shields is concerned about the skepticism against global warming is Hollywood.
“It all upsets me because I feel like we keep losing sight of simpler, smaller things,” Shields stated. “I don’t know what is true or not, I only know what I can do on a daily basis because I believe in it. Whether I am turning the water off in between brushing my teeth, which my little daughter is the police of, or I am recycling, or switching my products or using an energy saving washing machine…. I just have to do the best that I can do and keep doing more.”

Hey Brooke, Saint Al Gore is a lying sack of bovine biomass (that's the politically correct term for bullshit!). The scientists have fudged the data so much to show global warming where none exist. It’s the weather! It changes from year to year. It’s been happening since day one on this planet and will continue to change long after your 15 minutes of fame (which has long past expired, by the way) comes to an end. If you like to conserve, great. But don’t fall prey to the Green Goblins out there telling you that the sky is falling! You graduated from Princeton, so you should be intelligent enough to know the truth from a lie!

Mt. Ararat Ark site?
(source Yahoo News) - A team of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers believe that they have found the remains of the Biblical artifact, Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat. Wood from the site has been carbon-dated and it is apparently 5,800 years old, corresponding to the time of the Great Flood in the Bible.

After investigating their findings, the team went into a large holding area where they found the skeletal remains of two Unicorns still chained to a post. One of the scientists was overheard stating, “Well, that answered that question!”

Apple Needs to Do More to Keep Porn off iPhones, Watchdog Group Says
(source Fox News) - The "Dirty Fingers Screen Wash" application is just one of a host of apps pulled from iTunes for inappropriate material. But some argue that Apple hasn't gone far enough.
A socially conservative media watchdog group says a wealth of pornographic apps are currently available for iPhone users.

Currently though, there is no apps available for Naked Sheep, Midget Cheerleaders or Dykes on Bikes!

New Law: It's Illegal to be Illegal!
(source Fox News) - The Mexican government has officially warned its citizens to use extreme caution if visiting Arizona because of a tough new law that requires all immigrants and visitors to carry U.S.-issued documents or risk arrest.
Community Organizer in Chief, Barack Obama, also criticized the law, saying it could lead to harassment of Hispanics, and he called for bipartisan support to fix America's broken immigration system. Two senior officials in his government said the Arizona law may face a legal challenge by federal authorities.

Sounds to me like the state of Arizona has pissed off Mexico City and Washington DC at the same time by making illegal immigration ‘illegal!’ Obama should be worried as someone isn't blindly following his lead to allow as many new undocumented Democrat voters into the country before the November mid-term elections.

Australian restaurant hit with fine
The 'Thai Spice Restaurant' was levied a fine after employees refused to let a blind man inside because they thought his guide dog was a gay dog. The Equal Opportunity Tribunal ruled that the restaurant in Adelaide must pay the dogs owner, Ian Jolly, almost $1,400 for barring him from eating because of confusion about the sexuality of his guide dog, Nudge.
Thai Spice owners Hong Hoa Thi To and Anh Hoang Le say trouble arose when one of the waiters misunderstood a request. They claim an employee struggled to understand Jolly’s partner, Chris Lawrence, who has a thick Australian accent, believing Lawrence "to be saying she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant" -- not a guide dog.

That’s the problem with Thai restaurants in Australia... No one can understand a damned thing anyone says. G’day mates.
