Packed Airports Bring in Ponies and Clowns to Ease Traveler Fury

San Diego International Airport is sending in clowns from the Fern Street Circus to tickle the passengers’ funny bones, NBC reported.
“They are creating content inspired by the traveler experience, so they will constantly be visible, trying out new ideas and interacting with passengers,” said airport spokesman Jonathan Heller. “We certainly think they will be at the checkpoints often, as people waiting in line are a great audience for them!”

Germany creates website to teach Muslims not to rape

Germany has created a website to help "integrate" "migrants" from "certain regions" about "sex education"; or, to put it more directly, to teach Muslims not to rape German women.
Germany’s Federal Center for Health Education has gone live with a sexual education website for adult migrants. Using highly graphic diagrams and images, the $136,000 site outlines everything from first-time sex to how to perform far more advanced sexual acts.
After a rash of sexual assaults allegedly committed by suspects including asylum seekers on New Year’s Eve, the Germans have been on a mission to re-educate migrants, especially males, about sexual norms in the West. In Munich, public pools, for instance, published cartoons warning migrants not to grope women in bikinis.
Are the cartoons in arabic? Could the rape epidemic in arab countries be blunted by airdropping millions of socially conscious comic books?
Also in Bavaria, public money is partially funding sexual education classes including lessons for male migrants on how to correctly approach German women.

Violent brawl at Moscow cemetery leaves 3 dead, 23 injured

MOSCOW – A violent brawl Saturday at a Moscow cemetery involving about 200 people in an apparent turf war left three people dead and 23 others hospitalized, police and health officials said.

Those in the brawl fired guns and used shovels, shovel handles, steel bars and baseball bats against their opponents, Russian news reports said.
Two of those who died were hit by a car driven by someone trying to flee the scene, Moscow police spokeswoman Sofia Khotina told the Interfax news agency. She said the three people in the car, who were armed with pistols, were among more than 50 people detained by police.
The city health department said another person also was killed and four of the 23 hospitalized were in serious condition.
Police said the brawl was believed to have been about who controls providing burial services at the sprawling Khovanskoye cemetery in southwest Moscow

Vegan restaurant owners receive death threats after being discovered eating meat
Hot Air.com ^

Let’s finish out the weekend with a story about Californians being Californians, because… California. Terces and Matthew Engelhart have made quite the life for themselves out on the left coast over the past decade, having established a small chain of “organic, plant-based” restaurants which specialize in completely vegan food. They apparently attract Hollywood celebrities who are impressed not only by the business ethic of their eateries, but the “Love Farm” where they raise much of their produce, presumably in a Gaia approved fashion. They’ve published a book which explains the tenets of their “sacred enterprise” which is a must read for the nature loving set.
And now they’re receiving death threats… not from some evil, radical right wing carnivore crew, but from their own customers. It turns out that the Engelharts have betrayed the goddess entirely and gone back to eating meat. (Washington Post)

Recently, animal rights activists unearthed the unthinkable, as far as vegan icons are concerned: a blog post announcing the Engelharts’ “transition” to eating meat after 40 years of vegetarianism. The post was published more than a year ago, but it had slipped past the notice of most, buried in a series of ruminations on the website for the couple’s Be Love Farm, in Vacaville, Calif…
Accompanying photos showed several Mason jars filled to the brim with beef broth, as well as a freezer stuffed with pastured beef — “our pastured beef.”

The response has been incredible. Boycotts, death threats and denouncements from the high priests of veganism. (That’s a thing, right?) You need to read the full article just for the quotes of the wounded soldiers of the left who are ready to engage in some very non-loving activity by essentially nailing the Engelharts’ hides to their own barn roof.
For their part, the owners offer a variety of reasons for returning to an omnivorous lifestyle after nearly forty years of living on twigs and roots, none of which are terribly comprehensible. They talk about preserving their own mortality, but I was left unsure whether that meant that the vegan lifestyle was affecting their health or they were simply so sick of kale that they were about to hang themselves. They also launch into a lengthy explanation of how cows are important to the planet because their presence makes the plants grow and… and… I guess that means you need to kill them and eat them?
None of this really bothers me except the inherent phoniness of needing to justify having a hamburger. How about just because it tastes good? Or perhaps because you looked at your teeth in the mirror and remembered that you were designed to chew and digest both plants and animals? Or maybe you just really didn’t like the look on the cow’s face. Whatever, my friends. Let’s just fire up the grill and get the steaks ready.
I only point this story out because I recently saw another news item which claimed that the San Andreas fault line was primed and ready to let loose The Big One any day now, possibly dropping portions of the Golden State into the Pacific. I personally have my doubts about the ability of seismologists to predict earthquakes with that level of accuracy just yet, but in case it does happen, just think back on the reaction of all the patrons of these vegan restaurants. You’ll probably grieve a little less after the waves from the ensuing tsunami subside.

Caitlyn Jenner to Pose Naked With Gold Medal for 'Sports Illustrated'

Now that’s a patriotic streak!
Caitlyn Jenner will appear on a summer cover of Sports Illustrated wearing “nothing but an American flag and her Olympic medal,” a source reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
The 66-year-old I Am Cait star (formerly known as Bruce) set a world decathlon record at the 1976 Montreal Summer Games. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her win, she’ll pose with her gold medal for the first time post-transition, adds the source: “She’s excited about that.” (Her ex-wife Kris appeared topless with a medal during a 2007 photo shoot on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.)
Until now, Jenner says, she had stashed her “most prized possession” at the bottom of her makeup drawer.
“I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success,” the father of Kylie, 18, Kendall, 20, Brody, 32, Brandon, 34, Casey, 35, and Burt, 37, wrote in an August 2015 blog post. “I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.”

Kim Jong Un broadcasts 'Master Chef'-style cooking competition while North Korea starves

Kim Jong Un broadcasts 'Master Chef'-style cooking competition while North Korea starves
Published April 22, 2016
Cheese-chomping despot Kim Jong Un held a “Master Chef”-style competition to find North Korea’s top cooks as millions across the nation starve.
The Emmental-obsessed dictator gave the show, which was broadcast on state TV, the green light despite an estimated two-thirds of the country’s 27 million people surviving on food rations.
The Commie connoisseur developed a love of European cheeses and fine wines when he went to school in Switzerland.
But the tubby tyrant was served decidedly different fare during the contest as competitors served up terrapin stew and grey mullet fish soup.
More than 1,000 people entered the competition, with the Pyongyang Times reporting: “The festival was comprised of the exhibitions of gastrological [sic] hits, famous and local special dishes and compulsory dishes and the technical contest and demonstration of top chefs and waiters and waitresses.

Philip Panzica went to Las Vegas with fiance Mistie Bozant to tie the knot last Friday, according to KTNV. The couple met two months before.

That’s when he met Chloe Scordianos, the woman he was later arrested with on the High Roller.
"One thing led to another. She was there by herself," Panzica said in an interview, with Bozant by his side.
