Random Ridiculousness: Man Arrested For Sexually Abusing A Peacock

Hide ya kids, hide ya wife and hide ya peacocks. They raping everything these days. Man Sexually Abuses Peacock According to The Huffington Post A man sexually abused a peacock, which was later found dead in his garage, according to authorities in Illinois. Roselle police report that they discovered the dead bird, named Phyl, and learned about its abuse while investigating an alleged case of indecent solicitation of a child, NBC Chicago reports. David Beckman, 63, of the Chicago suburb, Roselle, faces three charges of harassment by telephone, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of drug possession, attempted indecent solicitation of a child, cruelty to animals, and two counts of battery NBC Chicago reports. Both the battery and solicitation of a child charges stem from a case earlier this week in Roselle, which involved a child between the ages of 13 and 17, according to the Daily Herald. Beckman was being held at DuPage County Jail on Friday on $10,000 bond. His arraignment is scheduled for June 12. Sadly, the alleged animal abuse isn’t the only one to make headlines recently. In April, Kurtis Peterson, a Michigan man, was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison for having sex with two dogs. In February, Andrew Mendoza pleaded guilty to public lewdness and criminal trespassing for trying to make a baby with his neighbor’s horse. “I was thinking it would have a horseman baby,” he stated in a court document.

Casey Anthony to Sit Down With NBC?

NBC is reportedly working hard to land an interview with Casey Anthony, and thinks it may have found a way to do so without paying her a dime, either. Technically. An NBC news producer is reaching out to people in the literary world, according to reports , trying to score a book deal for Anthony. What’s the catch? The producer has told literary agents and others that if he scored a book deal for Casey, she’d give the network a one-hour, exclusive primetime special. While there is believed to be a bidding war for the first interview with Casey, news networks can’t or won’t pay her … so they look for crafty workarounds. Portions of that interview would also run on Today , probably resulting in mega-ratings for the Peacock. All the while, someone else would pay Casey. The producer makes it clear NBC couldn’t pay a cent for the interview, but is pushing hard for a book deal, even saying Casey wants up front money. Jose Baez, Casey’s lawyer, says he ahs knowledge of the producer’s efforts, but says, “I’m not involved in that process. I did not entice him to do it.” Baez also adds, “Casey is not ready to do an interview.” Anthony, who remains in hiding, is also being courted by Barbara Walters , we’re told. Casey Anthony :

You’ve all heard the story before: Heroes burst onto the scene with critical praise and outer-space ratings, but began a sharp decline just before its Season 1 finale that seemed to last forever. Critics say poor writing and acting are what doomed the show, but Heroes simply failed to work after its infancy. Just this morning the Peacock net announced its plans to run with The Cape, their much-talked-about superhero saga—sound familiar much?! It even stars sci-fi sexpot Summer Glau, so bonus points from the get-go. NBC reportedly planned of bringing the cult fave back for a final miniseries-type of sendoff and as a consolation for Heroes fans, but with countless buzzworthy pickups on the schedule next season, Heroes did not stand a chance. Until then, let’s fill up the comments section with fond farewells, harsh good riddances, and “meh”s. It’s Official:Heroes Cancelled by NBC is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
