Black Friday Body Count: Black Friday, The Movie

Black Friday – Movie Trailer This is fake…I think. Fake, but also reasonably accurate. And so begins the 2015 Black Friday Body Count. As much as I’d love for folks to stop acting like savage, barbaric, knuckle dragging goddamned imbeciles in the name of televisions thus rendering this unnecessary, I have to admit it’s nice …

Dear Victim: Thank You For The Candy. Here Are My Teeth As A Token Of Appreciation. Sincerely, Thief

Some people really don’t do drunk well. It would seem that Connie Frances Perris might just be one of them. And in what may be a case of one relating to the other, she doesn’t appear to be so hot at burglary, either. After breaking into one apartment and finding it occupied, she decided to …

The Great Big Nasty Spider Freaked The Jackass Out. Out Came The Spray As He Began To Scream And Shout. Then Came The Cops Because Someone Was In Pain. And They Left Him With A Warning To Not Do That Again

Middle of the night. Hysterical screaming. Death threats. Lots of thumping and banging. Sounds of furniture being flung about. Yeah, I’d probably call the police too, just like this Australian fellow’s neighbours did.

I’ve never heard of Rei and I’m not even sure if it exists in Canada, but I admire what they’ve decided to do this year. Instead of opening on Black Friday so that crazy people can have a tug of war over a tent, they’re keeping their stores closed, giving all of their employees a …

Does Breakfast Make Banging Sounds

Are you at all surprised to learn that Anthony Fennick, a 20-year-old man who police say threw eggs, potatoes and fruit at them as they investigated something that may not have had anything whatsoever to do with him, is from Florida? Me neither. Initially, Fennick approached the deputies and asked why they were there. After …

6 Things That Have Nothing To Do With Thanksgiving But We’re Going To Say They Do Because It’s That Time Of Year And We Need The Clicks

I’ve seen websites go to some pretty great lengths to tie content into a holiday theme, but this is one of the weirdest listicles I’ve ever seen. In an attempt to make you feel better about having to spend time with your family on Thanksgiving, the Crime Feed blog which can be pretty good sometimes …

Fun To Play With, Crap For Phone Calls

Perhaps there’s a perfectly logical reason why the owner of a cell phone store would need to buy a bunch of brand new, still wrapped iPhones from a group of teenagers. I haven’t the foggiest clue what it might be mind you, but it could happen, I guess. But logical or not, happen it did …
