During a recent game, Lakewood High (search) coach Brian Bruch told a player to get his "black a--" back into a huddle. Big mistake.

Bruch has been suspended without pay, has lost his coaching position, will be transferred to another school to teach math and will have to take a workshop on "Celebrating Diversity."



Sounds like he was celebrating diversity

Fox left out a key part of this story. According to WXIA-TV ATLANTA, she couldn't roll her own because her finger nails were too long.

It's not like she was being lazy or something.

That kid had it coming to him.

That's the headline, but personally I think the fact that she was pimpin' out her younger daughter is a bit more grievous.

Parents Hire Stripper for Son's Birthday Party

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— A couple pleaded guilty Thursday to hiring a stripper for their son's 16th birthday party and were sentenced to two years probation.

Landon and Anette Pharris, who were charged with contributing the delinquency of a minor, also were ordered to take parenting classes.

The parents hired the stripper to perform at a September party attended by about a dozen young people.

Cassandra Joyce Park, 29, who police say used the stage name "Sassy," danced for a few hours before partygoers took up a collection and paid her $150 more to fully disrobe, Anette Pharris said.

The stripper and the man she was with were also granted probation.

Police were tipped off to the party by a photo developer at a drug store who saw pictures of the occasion.

Pharris said after being arrested that she tried to do something special for her son.

"We even had grandpa there," she said.

Is that not about the sickest thing you've ever read? And the kids were all adopted or foster kids. The "parents" should be euthanized.

"Police said no charges had been filed against the parents.

"Basically, the parents thought they were providing for the protection of the children from themselves and from each other," said Sommers"

AH WHAT????

Hopefully mom and dad will each get a cage of equal size---for their own protection of course.

LARGO - The Roy family came to the city for a Sunday outing: a visit to Largo Central Park and its Bluegrass Strings and Crafty Things festival.

But the Roys accidentally left someone behind: 5-year-old Jonathan Roy, who was found wandering Largo Central Park looking for them.

Robert Roy told police he saw all 10 of his children heading toward their blue van when they left the park, Largo police Sgt. Ryan Dulski said.

"The dad said he saw them all following him and thought they got in," Dulski said.

But Roy, 53, and his family drove home to St. Petersburg without Jonathan.

About 2:16 p.m., Jonathan was found wandering the park.

Police tried to find his parents but had little to go on.

Jonathan wasn't sure of his parents' names and didn't know his address or phone number.

He did remember that he came to the event in a blue van, but officers had no luck running the license plates of similar vehicles in the parking areas.

Several announcements about the missing boy were issued over the loudspeaker but got no response. Police walked the park with the child for a bit, hoping to find somebody he recognized.

About an hour later, police brought Jonathan to the station.

After the Roys got home, it actually took them a little while to notice he was missing. They were getting ready for another outing when one of the children said Jonathan was seen on the couch after they got home, Dulski said.

But soon Jonathan's parents discovered he was not there at all.

They phoned the Largo Police Department.

"They realized they were short one and immediately called us," Dulski said.

The parents came to the station, and Jonathan was released to them, Dulski said.

Joe Dirt...what a movie.
I can giggle over that guilty pleasure for hours. ;-)

When I was a Cub Scout my den went to the Longhorn Rodeo in the Detroit Silverdome (man, am I dating myself or what!) The show was fun but when it was over I turned around and couldn't find my den. I looked and looked but no luck. Somehow I wandered into an office and asked for help. They sat me down, gave me something to drink, and called my mother. Man, she was pissed. Turns out they basically left without me and nobody noticed. When my mom called the cubmaster she didn't have a clue that anything was wrong.

Now back then it was a "live and learn" event. Today it's a "you hit the jackpot lotto since you can now sue the Cub Scouts into the stone age" event. Sad.

If they're dumb enough to end up with 10 children then they're surely dumb enough to leave one behind somewhere.
