At Least You’re Not This Dumb: Woman Tries to Feed Monkey’s ‘Hot Cheetos’

We are simply baffled at the sheer stupidity of this story. This woman worked at a law firm, a steady, sensible job. She threw that all away in the name of Hot Cheetos. Humiliating. She hopped the fence to the spider monkey exhibit, something that even zookeepers don’t do, and then tried to give the animals a little treat.

Of course, once she was identified, she was fired. Times are tough but they aren’t tough enough to justify feeding animals Hot Cheetos.

The 10 PM Liquor Curfew Could Become a Permanent Thing

Night owls, beware. The 10 PM liquor curfew that was put in place at the start of the pandemic could become a permanent fixture in the city. The proposed change says no person with a package goods license can sell or give away packaged goods 10 PM-7 AM daily, with the Mayor of Chicago sighting that this would be a way to revitalize restaurants that suffered because of the pandemic.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this situation. The conversation lives on Facebook.

Lake Shore Drive Survives…For Now

Lake Shore Drive will remain as it is for now, as the vote to change its name to DuSable Drive stalled. The next vote to possibly change the name will be June 23. The Mayor of Chicago noted it’s “way past time” to honor Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago’s first non-indigenous settler, but the Mayor’s package a park east of Lake Shore Drive.

Where do you stand on the possible name change to Lake Shore Drive? Have you softened your stance on the name change since it was first proposed? The conversation lives on Facebook!

South Siders Brawl in the Stands at Sox Game

Chicago is back, baby. After a year away from the ballpark and nine years of mediocrity, Sox fans in this city finally have something to cheer for. The rowdiness got a little out of control on Monday, however, as a group of ladies began throwing hands in the stands.

Fellas, if you were feeling left out, don’t you worry. A couple of heavyweights laid into each other, as well.

Nancy Shines said it best, the bleachers ain’t for the weak. This is the proof of life that Sox fans needed!

This video is one big “yikes”. A sign of the times for humanity. A colossal failure for everyone involved. These nasally voices are all doomed for failure going forward.

Trust Issues? We’d Have Them Too After Watching This Video From The Master Cheater

Cheating is in some people’s blood. They can’t resist the thrill of being with someone that they’re not supposed to be with…even if it means taking multiple showers in a day, which seems like the only real drawback to the lifestyle that The Master Cheater lives. Listen to him talk about how this all goes down.

But I’m sure this doesn’t apply to your partner…

Lamest School District Ever Suspends Half of Graduating Class for Senior Prank

A school district in Texas is laying the hammer down for a harmless school prank. Some students at Comfort High School put plastic forks on the practice football field, while others wrecked havoc by…placing balloons and a deer head inside the school. The school district was not having this and now as these seniors conclude their high school journey, they’re going to be doing it from in-school-suspension.

First of all, this isn’t even a good prank. The kids swung and missed with the idea and the execution. If they were suspended for having bad ideas, we would fully endorse it. But suspending them for planting forks in the ground? Just have them pick it up! What are we doing here?

Florida School Edited Photos of Women to Make Them Seem “More Appropriate”

We talked a few weeks ago about how there’s a town in Maryland fighting for the right for women to be topless on the beach. In a roundabout way, a school district in Florida is fighting the same fight. 80 seniors at Bartram Trail High School had their photos digitally manipulated to add clothing to areas of the chest that may have been exposed. All of the photos edited were photos of young women and none of them were consulted about this decision prior to the yearbooks being released.

Do schools have the right to edit photos in their yearbook? According to the faculty member who made this decision ,everyone that had their photos edited were in violation of the school dress code. Let us know your thoughts! The conversation lives on Facebook!
