Source: Grant Faint/Getty Images / Getty Racist Ref Forces Andrew Johnson To Cut His Hair The deplorable, discriminatory actions of a high school wrestling referee are going viral. People nationwide are outraged over a video of wrestler Andrew Johnson having his hair cut before a match after Ref Alan Maloney, demanded that he cut it or forfeit a match. The video was posted to Twitter by Mike Frankel of SNJ Today News who called Andrew a “team player” for being humiliated. Epitome of a team player A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win. pic.twitter.com/f6JidKNKoI — Mike Frankel (@MikeFrankelSNJ) December 20, 2018 Mind you in wrestling, wrestlers with long hair can simply compete with a wrap over their head—so why couldn’t Andrew??? NewJersey.com reports that Ref Maloney used a racial slur at a social gathering of officials in March 2016. The simple soup cookie apparently got into an arguiment over homemade wine at a social gathering and got slammed to the ground by a black official after he dropped the slur—surely you can guess which one. Maloney later told Jersey’s Courier-Post that he did not remember making the remark but accepted eyewitness accounts that he did. “You know, people do make mistakes and I apologized,” Maloney told the Courier-Post. “I really don’t think this should go any further than it’s gone anyhow. … The remark was not made to him. After he told me what I said, it was pertaining to us breaking each other’s stones. … I didn’t remember it. I was told it. I believed it and said, ‘Yo, that ain’t me.’ That’s when I called him right away and that’s when he told me we were good. “Yo…that….ain’t….me.” Get this guy the f*** outta here! What do YOU think should happen to this clotted cream curmudgeon clearly discriminating against Andrew Johnson???

She never acknowledges my family with a LOOK. I go, ‘Huh? You didn’t hear what I said?’” he said.

I walked off after saying, ‘Ah, really? Okay.’ Walked across the street, you started yelling…Your fans are who made you. A simple, ‘No, I don’t do pics when I’m with my family would have been nice.’ Your attitude is what shocked me, not the fact you wouldn’t take the pic.” As expected, Hardwick’s followers hopped in on the conversation and began to defend the actor but the woman held her ground and said, “Y’all would have approached him as well, [but] being that it wasn’t y’all.

Post and Courier is reporting that a man shot his cousin after warning him not to eat his salt and vinegar chips. 19-year-old, Ryan Dean Langdale is now facing charges of attempted murder for using a weapon in a crime as well as obstructing justice.

In a brief statement the cousin confirmed what happened before going into surgery.

Nearly a week later the victim woke up and told a different story. He recalls his cousin saying, “Do not touch my chips, or I’ll shoot you.” Langale then went into the room, grabbed the rifle and shot him.

SMH… Readability Analyzer Says Kim Kardashian Writes At Fourth Grade Level Kimmy can’t catch a break ! After Kris Jenner put her daughter’s outfit-demeaning e-mail on Instagram blast, the team over at RadarOnline ran it through an analyzer to determine what grade-level the reality star’s writing clocks in at. Here are the (rather unfortunate) findings they came up with: It’s a good thing that you don’t need a master’s degree to be a star of Keeping up with the Kardashians! On Friday, Kris Jenner shared an email that she got from her not-quite-valedictorian daughter, Kim Kardashian, 34, and RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that according to readability standards, it was written at a level consistent with a fourth-grade education. Unsurprisingly, the 59-year old fame-hungry momager took to her Instagram Friday to let everyone know that she had attended the prestigious Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment breakfast. However, when including a snippet of her favorite daughter’s message regarding her choice in fashion for the event, she also let the world in on how eloquent her role model spawn really is — or isn’t. After thousands of people read Kardashian’s text, Radar plugged it into a Readability analyzer, which calculated that the beauty may be all woman on the outside, but on the inside has the brain of a fourth-grade elementary school student — at least when it comes to writing emails on the fly. In all fairness, Kim probably wrote this snarky little blurb in a hurry with one thumb while riding in a car…but her creative spelling of “Amish” is a little saddening… What do you think Bossip Fam? Kimmy couldn’t really be that slow, could she?
What the hell kind of field trip was this?? Parents Outraged After 7 Girls Return From Field Trip Pregnant An all-girls’ field trip turned into a an impregnation festival of sorts for a group of Bosnian teenagers. Parents sent 28 girls on an out-of-town school trip with teachers and chaperons, only to have a fourth of them return with child — and no leads as to the circumstances that led to so many of the children becoming pregnant . Via NYDailyNews : It wasn’t a pregnancy pact. Seven Bosnian teenagers became pregnant on a five-day school trip, angering parents and educators, according to public health officials. The teens, from small town Banja Luka, are 13 and 14 years old, said Nenad Babici, the national coordinator for reproductive health. The school took a group of 28 girls on the trip to the capital, Sarajevo, to see museums and city sights, according to inserbia.info. A quarter of the students returned home pregnant. Parents are demanding why there wasn’t better supervision on the trip, according to the Courier Mail. But Babici said parents need to teach their children about sex. The case has brought national attention to the increasing number of teen pregnancies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo gynecologist Senad Mehmedbasic said the growing rate is worrisome because teens face higher risks in both pregnancy and child birth. “We have to be more direct in the educational system,” he said. “It must not be allowed that the street teaches children about intimate matters, and that they are later slapped by life.” All good points…but none of that answers the who’s, what’s, when’s, and where’s of these girls all getting pregnant on the same trip! Where was their adult supervision?
Mae Young, one of the most famous women in wrestling history, was taken off life support last night and passed away this morning at her home in Columbia, South Carolina. She was 90 years old. Young broke into the professional ranks at the age of 15 and was profiled many decades later in a documentary titled “Lipstick and Dynamite.” She was the first-ever NWA U.S. Women’s Champion and appeared on WWE Smackdown in 1999, 60 years after she first entered the profession. Mae even went on to win WWE’s Miss Royal Rumble in 2000… at the age of 77. She was involved in a storyline that year as the girlfriend of grappler Mark Henry and was inducted into the WWE Gall of Fame in 2007 along with The Fabulous Moolah, another long-time, legendary Diva. Young was hospitalized on December 30 and placed under hospice care at home. “Sad news to report,” Mike Mooneyham of The Charleston Post & Courier Tweeted yesterday. “Received word tonight that #MaeYoung has been taken off life support. Prayers for this grand lady of wrestling.”
Did she have to have 21 drinks? Woman Has 21 Drinks Before Driving and Kills Two Teenagers According to Mail Online Footage from a Texas bar shows a 23-year-old woman consuming 21 drinks before she drove home the wrong way down a highway, killing two teenagers in a head-on crash. Nicole Baukus, from Spring, is facing up to 60 years in prison if found guilty of two counts of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault. A court was told this week that Baukus drank four bottled beers and 21 ‘shooters’, or spirit mixers, in about four and a half hours, before getting in her pick up truck and causing the fatal crash. Prosecutors at her trial this week showed video footage of Baukus drinking at the On the Rox sports bar and of her pick up truck traveling the wrong way down a highway in Conroe, on June 29, last year. She is accused of crashing head on into a car being driven by Nicole Adams, killing the 19-year-old and her back seat passenger, Travis Sanders, 18, according to KHou News. A third passenger, 21-year-old David Porras, was seriously injured in the crash, which happened just before 3am. In court yesterday, prosecutors played emergency calls from other drivers as they reported seeing a pick up truck traveling the wrong way. Before police could stop Baukus, the fatal collision took place. An hour after the crash her blood-level alcohol was more than three times the legal limit. Prosecutors also claim she had drugs in her system. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agent Oscar Williams told the court Baukus had consumed beer and shooters at On the Rox, from 9.19pm to 1.46am. He said that a tray of shooters was seen being delivered to her table just after midnight, which violated the Texas commission’s rules, according to The Courier of Montgomery County. Baukus denies the charges, according to Montgomery County Police Reporter. The trial is expected to last five days. We bet her azz won’t pick up another drink again. She should have had a friend drive her home and now two innocent lives are lost. SMH.
Don’t shoot the messenger! This week’s wide release of the Joseph Gordon-Levitt bike courier film Premium Rush inspired Movieline to deliver this cinematic parcel to your doorstep. Once each generation, Hollywood pushes a product centered on the travails of these municipal nomads; back in the 1970s there was a love story with Tom Berenger in Rush It ; CBS tried out the courier-based sitcom Double Rush with Robert Pastorelli and David Arquette; Jessica Alba played an urban biker in Dark Angel ; and, most recently, came the Chinese import Beijing Bicycle . The desire to portray the world of bike messenger-ing is understandably tempting — the close-knit society, rebellious personalities, and high-risk action of the work beg for a dramatic treatment. But one title rises seat and handlebars above all the others in this micro-sub-genre: 1986’s Kevin Bacon vehicle Quicksilver . Nestled perfectly in the middle of the decade, this film typifies a 1980s offering, so light in actual content you could fit it in your shoulder bag. Characters are revealed less via action than by name – Apache, Cha-Cha, Airborne, Spider, and Shorty. Even the main characters are communion-wafer thin when it comes to complexity. Curiously, Quicksilver features a preponderance of comedians in the cast: Paul Rodriguez has a major part, Saturday Night Live writer Andrew Smith appears, and Louie Anderson is, theoretically, a messenger named Tiny. (I say “theoretically” because the corpulent stand-up never once straddles a bike seat, possibly because he couldn’t.) The synth-heavy score comes courtesy of Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks, and it immerses you in the era — so much so it feels like more energy went into crafting the soundtrack than the script. Roger Daltrey had a slight hit with the Giorgio Moroder song, “Quicksilver Lightning”, and other ’80s soundtrack regulars, including Ray Parker Jr., and John Parr appear as well. To go along with multiple extended chase scenes, that other ’80s cinema staple — the musical montage — gets heavy usage. No fewer than three of these occur within the first 30 minutes while we await an actual story. One of these vital plot breaks involves Kevin Bacon at home with his modern-dance/ballerina girlfriend. Despite being destitute, Jack and his leggy lovely somehow San Francisco loft that is roughly the size of a parade float manufacturing center. Behold its size as you watch the couple interact, like all lovers do, silently professing mutual love by incorporating their dance and biking professions: It becomes the job of the viewer to find the plot amid these interludes. We begin with Bacon riding in a taxi. A bike messenger cruises beside his cab, and for no reason we can understand, Jack tells the driver he’ll pay him 50 bucks if he beats the bike rider to his destination. The bike dodges obstructions and the cab skids to a halt as the courier loses his beret. Jack races over and clutches the abandoned headpiece, and we are supposed to grasp that an unspoken bond has been forged by these two. Revel in a feeling of revulsion as Jack grips a stranger’s sweaty, grime-coated hat! At the start of Quicksilver , Bacon wears glasses and sports the facial hair of a sexual sadist, looking every bit like the serial killer that neighbors are always surprised to learn has a softball team buried in the back yard. (This is the same look Bacon sported in his recent commercials for Logitech, by the way.) Jack works as a hot shot trader at the San Francisco Commodities Exchange. He and his partner Gabe try to corner the market on a stock only to have its price move on them, causing the pair to lose millions, including the life savings of Jack’s parents. He is so distraught that next we see him opt for street urchin fashions, ditch the glasses, shave off the pedophile moustache, and grow his mullet out to its Footloose splendor. He is now working for Quicksilver Courier Service. Jami Gertz plays Terri, a new hire, and this allows us to be introduced to the United Nations staff. When asked where she’s from Terri tells Hector (Paul Rodriguez) she moved around a lot because her father was a jet pilot. (Apparently the Air Force has military bases in Chicago and Detroit.) She meets Jack, but there is also a dark undercurrent to their profession: When after a meal at a diner, Terri cannot find her money, a suspicious man ominously offers to pay for her meal. The top rider at Quicksilver is Voodoo (Lawrence Fishburne), who augments his salary by making runs of contraband for a local hood named Gypsy. He happens to be the guy who bought Terri’s waffles. As villains go, Gypsy is not the most intimidating. He motors around the Bay Area in a sad, rundown Ford LTD, perhaps waiting for MTV’s Pimp My Ride to be invented. Gypsy and Voodoo have a professional disagreement, and ,later, when Jack and Voodoo challenge each other to a race that is the focus of another montage, Gypsy runs Voodoo down in the street. This means Jack Casey is now the top rider at the service. I guess it also means he needs to get a new goofy name. Soon enough, the plot gets yanked forward by the aspirations of the riders. Hector has a pregnant girlfriend and dreams of one day owning a hot dog cart. Gypsy orders Terri to take over Voodoo’s duties. (Somehow she has become indentured to a criminal over a $5 breakfast tab.) Meanwhile, Jack is getting lured back to his brokerage life by his former partner. Initially, he resists, explaining his new lifestyle to Gabe: “When I’m on the street I feel good – I feel good, I feel exhilarated. I go as fast as I like, faster than anyone. The street sign says one-way-east [CLAP] I go west. They can’t touch me! When I’m on the bike I forget about . . . I dunno – I dunno.” Okay, so it’s not the Henry the V battlefield speech, but you feel his passion . . . I guess. The financial pressures on Jack and his friends inspire him to revisit his past for the finale. After weeks of studying the Wall Street Journal he’s convinced he’s found a surefire stock choice, so he takes his shot. At the exchange Jack gets a VISITOR pass, strides onto the floor and begins buying call options instantly. And — SPOILER ALERT — after a few tense hours, his stock leaps two points in a matter of minutes! He pockets around $50,000 for a few hours’ work, everything is resolved and everyone, including his parents, get their share of the profits. I had to resort to an expert opinion as this felt more than ridiculous. Writer Brad Laidman, who had actually worked on that very options floor, assessed Quicksilver ‘s realism factor. Laidman actually recognized people on screen as legitimate exchange workers, so he knew the details. “While I could see him getting the pass and visiting the floor,” he explained, “there was no way in hell he’d be able to walk out and start trading that day. It’d take a month of paper work to get a trader’s badge, and he’d have to establish an account with the exchange.” “What they showed was like buying a ticket to a Chicago Bulls game, and somehow you found yourself on the court, taking the winning shot. Then later, he goes in the back and they start printing out checks, like he was at the race track. The whole thing was a fantasy.” As I suspected. But hey, this wouldn’t be Hollywood without a Hollywood ending. Jack sort of separates from his girlfriend and sort of gets together with Terri (after barely interacting with her up to that point). They happily amble up to their friend Hector, who’s doling out his dream dogs — the movie’s way of telling us that everyone lives happily ever after. Studios love lecturing on the venal capitalist undercurrent in this country, and yet look what they were selling audiences circa 1986: For a white guy studying the newspaper and wearing a tie, one afternoon if enterprise would net you tens of thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, if you were ethnic, applied yourself and worked extremely hard, you got the a shot at hustling tube steaks from a cart on a street corner — provided you had a smart white guy to help you out.

We’d expect this kind of behavior from a pitbull, but Lucky the Lab, really? 2-Year-Old Killed By Dog While Dad Slept In Next Room A supposedly “gentle” pooch named Lucky is suspected of killing a 2-month-old baby and tearing the child’s body apart in South Carolina. Aiden McGrew, who was born on Valentine’s Day and was the youngest of three children, was found dead in his family’s mobile home Friday in Ridgeville by his mother, according to The Post and Courier newspaper. The baby was in a swing when Lucky, a golden retriever-Labrador mix, bit the child several times and tore off his legs, authorities said. The child’s father, Quintin, was in the home at the time, police said. He was in another room asleep with the family’s 3-year-old and their other dog. The baby was discovered when his mother, Chantel, came home after taking their seven-year-old to a doctor’s appointment, The Post and Courier reported. “This… is about as bad as it can get for us as police officers,” Dorchester County Sheriff L.C. Knight said at a press conference Friday. “I’ve been doing this a lot of years and haven’t seen one like this.” It is unclear why the father did not wake up when the baby was attacked, police said. The mother told 911 at the time that her husband was still asleep when she got home. Shirley Pargiello, 70, a next-door neighbor to the McGrew family, told The Post and Courier that Lucky was “a very gentle dog.” “It’s a beautiful dog,” she said. “I went over to say hi one day, and he came right up to me and stopped. I rubbed his head, then he left.” No charges have been filed in the case, which police said was still “under investigation.” That poor baby. This is just horrible. We can’t imagine what came over that animal, but we always say don’t leave your kids unattended with pets. You never know when they might feel that call of the wild. R.I.P.
