And those anger issues were the main reason why Parrish, 20, put his grandmother’s dog into a heated oven after it nipped him, he allegedly told deputies in Marion County, Oregon, after they arrested him on charges of aggravated abuse, according to the Statesman Journal. Parrish lives with his grandmother and was in charge of the dog, a 9-pound Chihuahua-pincher mix named “Kudo.” Cops said Parrish told them he was heating up some enchiladas when he reached into the dog’s kennel and it nipped him, according to KBOI-TV. He allegedly told deputies that, when that happened, he grabbed Kudo and decided to put the dog in the heated oven. SMH. How bad could the bite have been from a chihuahua to a grown azz man???

O.G. Grammy Grams! British Grandmother Sentenced To The Death Penalty For Smuggling Drugs Into Bali Via Huffington Post An Indonesian court sentenced a British grandmother to death on Tuesday for smuggling yayo worth $2.5 million in her suitcase onto the resort island of Bali – even though prosecutors had sought only a 15-year sentence. Lindsay June Sandiford, 56, wept when judges handed down the sentence and declined to speak to reporters on her way back to prison, covering her face with a floral scarf. She had claimed in court that she was forced to take the drugs into the country by a gang that was threatening to hurt her children. Indonesia, like many Asian countries, is very strict on drug crimes, and most of the more than 40 foreigners on its death row were convicted of drug charges. Sandiford’s lawyer said she would appeal, a process that can take several years. Condemned criminals face a firing squad in Indonesia, which has not carried out an execution since 2008, when 10 people were put to death. A verdict is expected in the trial of Sandiford’s alleged accomplice, Briton Julian Anthony Pounder, next Tuesday. He is accused of receiving the drugs in Bali, which has a busy bar and nightclub scene where party drugs such as yayo and Ex pills are bought and sold between foreigners. Two other British citizens and an Indian have already been convicted and sentenced to prison in connection with the bust. The folks in Bali are definitely part of the “Not-Fawkin’-Around-Crew”. In its verdict, a panel of Denpasar District Court judges concluded that Sandiford had damaged the image of Bali as a tourism destination and weakened the government’s drug prevention program. “We found no reason to lighten her sentence,” said Amser Simanjuntak, who headed the judicial panel. Can you imagine if America was executing people for drug offenses??? Clearly this woman broke the law, but hopefully she can get out of the death penalty sentence and just serve time. Image via AP
Praise be to Allah Michigan McDonald’s Settles $700,000 Halal Lawsuit With Muslim Group Via ABCNews McDonald’s and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law. McDonald’s and Finley’s Management Co. agreed Friday to the tentative settlement, with that money to be shared by Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers. Ahmed’s attorney, Kassem Dakhlallah, told The Associated Press on Monday that he’s “thrilled” with the preliminary deal that’s expected to be finalized March 1. McDonald’s and Finley’s Management deny any liability but say the settlement is in their best interests. The lawsuit alleged that Ahmed bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald’s but found it wasn’t halal — meaning it didn’t meet Islamic requirements for preparing food. Islam forbids consumption of pork, and God’s name must be invoked before an animal providing meat for consumption is slaughtered. Dakhlallah said there are only two McDonald’s in the United States that sell halal products and both are in Dearborn, which has one of the nation’s largest Arab and Muslim communities. Overall, the Detroit area is home to about 150,000 Muslims of many different ethnicities. Damn, who knew that McDonald’s was catering to our muslim brothers and sisters? The locations advertise that they exclusively sell halal Chicken McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches and they have to get those products from an approved halal provider, Dakhlallah said. He said there was no evidence of problems on the production side, but he alleges that the Dearborn location on Ford Road sold non-halal products when it ran out of halal. Dakhlallah said he was approached by Ahmed, and they conducted an investigation. A letter sent to McDonald’s Corp. and Finley’s Management by Dakhlallah’s firm said Ahmed had “confirmed from a source familiar with the inventory” that the restaurant had sold non-halal food “on many occasions.” After they received no response to the letter, Dakhlallah said, they filed a lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court in November 2011 as part of a class action.

Woman Loses Legs And Fingers From Dog Bite Infection A 48-year-old Texas woman recently faced a near death experience after a failed attempt to break up fighting family dogs during the holidays resulted in a dog bite that landed her in the hospital fighting for her life. via Fox News A Texas dog lover and mother of four lost her legs and almost all of her fingers after she suffered a rare infection from a dog bite on Christmas. 48-year-old Robin Sullins was left fighting for her life after doctors say she experienced a rare reaction to bacteria in dog saliva, My FoxAustin.com reports. Sullins’ family says on a web page set up to raise donations for her care that she was bitten on the finger and scratched on the leg while trying to break up a squabble between family dogs on Christmas. Two days later she was taken to the emergency room with a fever, chills, and vomiting. “By late Saturday night, early Sunday morning, she was pretty much on life support. We’re talking respirator, dialysis, feeding tube, being kept alive,” her mother Carole Wilson told MyFoxAustin.com. Her family says doctors were at first baffled by her symptoms, as Sullins grew worse. Sullins’ organs began failing and her hands and feet grew black and blue. Doctors were forced to amputate both of Sullins’ legs below the knee and nearly all of her fingers. Sounds like this woman was blessed to have survived this bizarre infection. Image via Shutterstock
Oh, you didn’t know??? White Celebrity Men With More Than 3 Baby Mamas In the wake of Shawty Lo’s now-defunct Oxygen reality show “All My Baby’s Mamas” being cancelled , we noticed that most of the criticism came from folks arguing that Shawty and his bevy of baby mamas are a disgrace to our esteemed race. The “baby mama”/”baby daddy” terms are historically awkward and uncomfortable to many in the African-American community due to their negative connotation and the way in which they help propel negative stereotypes. That said, black men are not the only folks who have freely spread their seed around to multiple women, but somehow, they are always depicted as the most irresponsible in regards to their “peen protocol”. Fact is, some of Hollyweird’s biggest, brightest, and whitest stars have been known to pop off inside their wives and girlfriends with reckless abandon! Hit the flippy to see which paler celebs could have just as easily ended up on show just like Shawty Lo’s. Image via WENN/SplashNews
Jamie Foxx calls Spike Lee out! Jamie Foxx Calls Out Spike Lee For Comments About Django Unchained During an interview with the The Guardian, the ‘Django unchained’ star, Jamie Foxx, gave his opinion of Spike Lee, calling the 55-year-old director “shady” and “irresponsible.” Via The Grio reports: “The question for me is: where’s Spike Lee coming from?” Foxx said. “He didn’t like Whoopi Goldberg, he doesn’t like Tyler Perry, he doesn’t like anybody, I think he’s sort of run his course. I mean, I respect Spike, he’s a fantastic director. But he gets a little shady when he’s taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that’s irresponsible.” In recent weeks Django Unchained has faced criticism for its use of racist language, specifically the n-word which is uttered roughly 110 times. Lee claims the film is “disrespectful to my ancestors” and has refused to see it on principle. “American slavery,” he later tweeted, “was not a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them.” Former 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell called Lee an “Uncle Tom,” and Dick Gregory, the legendary activist and comedian also lashed out at Lee referring to him as a “thug” and a “punk.” Is it fair to give Spike Lee the ho sit down?

What the hell?? Thousands Of Dead Fish Wash Ashore On South Carolina Beach South Carolina residents might be steering clear of one local beach in particular for a while. Roughly 40,000 chubby lumpkins sea critters washed ashore on Pawley’s Island beach in a Georgetown County, S.C. town earlier this week. via Huffington Post Tens of thousands of dead fish washed ashore on a South Carolina beach on Tuesday, for at least the second time in a week. Approximately 30,000 to 40,000 menhaden fish washed ashore along a mile-and-a-half-long stretch of beach from Georgetown County, S.C., to Pawleys Island, said Pawleys Island Police Chief Michael Fanning, according to NBC News. It seemed likely that thousands more of the 6-to 8-inch-long fish would wash ashore later. This is the second time in one week such an incident has occurred in the area, notes NBC News. Late last week, hundreds of thousands of the small, oily fish washed up near Masonboro Island, N.C. A local sergent offered this explanation for the bizzare beach full of fish: “It’s an occurrence called hypoxia,” Sergeant Steve Pop told WMBF. That is dissolved oxygen levels in the water that drop to a level that is not sustainable for the fish… We’ve got some deep holes off of north inlet that holds these fish. This time of year the fish congregate in these holes which is depleting the oxygen source.” Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww! Photo Credit: CBS News
Say it ain’t so shady Ray… Ray Nagin Indicted For Bribery And Fraud Via NYPost Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips and gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The charges against Nagin are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor. The federal indictment accuses Nagin of accepting more than $160,000 in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of a local businessman who secured millions of dollars in city contract work after the 2005 hurricane. The businessman, Frank Fradella, pleaded guilty in June to bribery conspiracy and securities-fraud charges and has been cooperating with federal authorities. Nagin, 56, also is charged with accepting at least $60,000 in payoffs from another businessman, Rodney Williams, for his help in securing city contracts for architectural, engineering and management services work. Williams, who was president of Three Fold Consultants LLC, pleaded guilty Dec. 5 to a conspiracy charge. The indictment also accuses Nagin of getting free private jet and limousine services to New York from an unidentified businessman. Nagin is accused of agreeing to wave tax penalties that the businessman owed to the city on a delinquent tax bill in 2006. After all that the folks in New Orleans have gone through, if these charges end up sticking, Ray Nagin might just be the most “ain’t isht” ninja ever! Image via AP
