Article 3 - PANTS ON THE GROUND!

Article 2 - Gay Hate Crime Going Way Too Far
Burke Burnett was at a party when three men attending the party found out he was homosexual. He says
that night "Reminded me just how much hatred was still directed towards lesbians, and gays." The victim was beaten harshly, stabbed twice with a broken beer bottle, and thrown into a fire, sending him to near death! If it wasn't for some kind-hearted girls at the party, stepping in and letting Burnett get away.
The three suspects were charged with aggravated assault but police are leaving it up to the grand jury to decide whether its hate crime or not. Each suspect will be receiving five to ninety-nine years in prison.
But even justice can't heal Burnett's wounds. He needed thirty stitches total, above his eye, and on his ribcage, and now wears bandages for the entire leg full of blisters from the fire.

When she refused to remove herself from the seat, Carr started throwing things around his girlfriend's apartment, where the dinner took place. He made way fro the kitchen where he grabbed the knife and returned to the woman where he attempted to slash her while Carr's girlfriend ran over to a neighbors house and dialed the police.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!
Traces of Halloween date back to a holiday called All Hallows, a Celtic celebration of the dead. All Hallows , otherwise known as All Saints Day, was a very busy holiday. However, the night prior to All Saints had the most intense activity, human and supernatural both. People still celebrate All Hallows Eve as the night of the wandering dead, but now people tend to think that the supernatural beings are evil. The people continued to propitiate the masked impersonators of the spirits by leaving different foods and drinks out for them. Before you knew it, All Hallows Eve became Hallow Evening, to Hallowe'en--an ancient Celtic, pre-Christian New Year's Day in contemporary dress.

Things You Should Never Run Into A Room and Yell
I was watching one of my favorite shows the other night, Tosh.0, when this OH! SO AMAZING segment called "Things You Should Never Run Into A Room and Yell" appeared magically on my television screen. In this segment Daniel Tosh, the host, runs into a room screaming incredibly random things to a roomful of his co-workers. Tosh is an amazing guy and so I was inspired to make my own list of random things for you to run into a room and yell or even just to toss around casually during an intimate and serious conversation. Enjoy!:
- Does your aunt have a toilet seat?
- Help! I am being attacked by a giant raisin!
- I'm not moldy!
- 1776 was a good year for paper
- I like toenails.
- A moose once bit my sister
- He's stealing organs and replacing them with stuff!
- I'm sure it was the nargles
- I'm going to make toast!
- There is a Voldemort in my turban!
- I've got new socks on...
- Let's get cookin' some biscuits!!!
- Sharks hide behind trees
- She found her keys locked in the fridge
- The pig accepts me!
- Sniffing jackets is a bad habit!
- Why was there bacon in the soap?
- You guys are just begging to face the moose!
- Does this mean I get to keep my dictionary?
- Do you want to dance to the beat of the copy machine?
- Do you know where your spatula is?
- I've named bushes before
- I've never thought about my kidneys before?...
- Now I can use your hair in my potions!
- That whale just took out a stop sign!
- The storks are in the living room!
- Everybody loves pancake mix!
- My shins are an elephant!
- Oh look, corn nuts all over the floor
- Why is there a sandwich nailed to the wall?
- That's the last time I put sushi in my pocket!
- Cookie dough is the new hair gel!!!

The Murder Conviction of Phil Spector is Upheld
Clarkson was slaughtered by a gunshot to the mouth in Spector’s suburban home in California, February 3rd, 2003. Spector states that Clarkson's death was an "accidental suicide" and that she "kissed the gun." Adriano De Souza, Spector's driver made an emergency call from the mansion after hearing him say, quote “I think I’ve killed someone.” Some women who were said to have met with Spector say there would come a point when they wanted to leave Spector's home, whereupon he would hold them at gunpoint. ‘The prosecution argued that the testimony of the other women was important in order to demonstrate a "common plan or scheme". The defense sought to prevent the women from providing such testimony. Though the law in California and other states generally forbids the introduction of evidence showing a defendant's previous bad acts, the judge sided with the prosecutors and ruled that the testimony of the other women "can be used to show lack of accident or mistake".’ But just remotely before the murder, Spector told Britain’s Daily Telegraph that he has bipolar disorder and that he considers himself insane.
A brief description of what happened inside the courtroom, from
Phil Spector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
First Trial
Spector remained free on $1 million bail while awaiting trial.
The trial began on March 19, 2007. Presiding judge Larry Paul Fidler allowed the trial to be televised. At the start of the trial, the defense's forensic expert Henry Lee was accused of hiding crucial evidence which the District Attorney's office claimed could prove Spector's guilt. On September 26, 2007, Judge Fidler declared a mistrial because of a hung jury (10 to 2 for conviction).
During the trial, defense expert Dr. Vincent DiMaio asserted that Spector may be suffering from Parkinson's disease. He testified, "Look at Mr. Spector. He has Parkinson's features. He trembles."
Second Trial
The retrial of Spector for murder in the second degree began on October 20, 2008, with Judge Fidler again presiding; this time it was not televised. The case went to the jury on March 26, 2009, and nineteen days later, on April 13, the jury returned a guilty verdict. In addition, he was found guilty of using a firearm in the commission of a crime. Spector was immediately taken into custody and was formally sentenced on May 29, 2009, to 19 years to life in the California state prison system. Spector will be 88 years old before becoming eligible for parole. Spector is currently serving his sentence at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison (SATF) in Corcoran, California. Although it is in Corcoran, it is a separate facility from California State Prison, Corcoran, where, among others, Charles Manson is serving his life sentences

Rebecca Black Has Had Her Ups and Downs
Rebecca Black has gone through it all from achieving a YouTube hit with over 1,000,000 views, to receiving death threats about the hit in question.
The low-budget music video, "Friday" has been viewed for only one very obvious reason: for a laugh. Someone probably saw the video, told their friends how good/bad it was, their friends then watch it, and it spreads like wild fire! I'm guessing that word spreads that its a bad/good video, and people have to see it for themselves, and it just became a hit. Not only was the song a hit but Black got hit twice by two death threats.Police have been investigating since April 19th, though the threats occurred some time in March. threats were made sometime in March, after "Friday" became a YouTube hit and went viral as a web phenomenon, Anaheim Police spokesman Rick Martinez said.
"In essence the threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," Martinez said. "We can't validate how serious they are, but we do take it seriously," he said"We're going to investigate and determine, number one, the source of the comments and then based on the investigation determine what intent was and where we go from here," he said. "If we believe they were actually intended as threats we will work toward prosecution"

The great valley!!!
But it isn't all rainbows and butterflies. They face struggles just like we all do. "With the large blob of people downloading instead of buying, it's very hard to make money, when you're not able to tour," they say. "We are close to being out on the road but since we are still coming up having the money to support ourselves is a big struggle."
Being a 'Two-man band' is hard in ways only a two-man band would know. "Again, it's very hard to tour with two people haha Although we are going to be touring full band to support 'Ruthless'." Louis says. "And Nick says: "And it is harder to carry equipment!" ~sense o' hyooma~
And we can't forget how every set of siblings has those "I hate you, please die" moments. I know I do, and they get over them by remembering that "We are both in the same boat, and working towards the same goals, it's more of a positive then a struggle", "We try to keep our home life and our business separate, the minute those two things mix it gets bad!"
Though they don't play the same kind of music, they still are competing with groups like Lady Gaga, and Justin Beiber, they are still on the charts, and kids are still going to see them in concerts :(
"Louis & Nick are good guys: if you'd like to check em' out, you can: DO IT NOW!

beavis & butthead return at last!!!
About a year ago, MTV president Van Toffler was having trouble sleeping. "I was eating Fruit Loops and Cap'n Crunch out of the box and flipping through the dials when a Lady Gaga video came on," he says. That's when he had the idea: Bring back Beavis and Butt-Head. "I felt like there was a whole crop of new artists — and what the world sorely missed was the point of view that only Beavis and Butt-Head could bring." Source states that b&b are probably in their thirties but they will return to MTV as the same, old, mental teenagers they were born to be! "They'll be self-contained segments with the boys in different situations like they used to be," Toffler says. "But this time around, they'll watch Jersey Shore, UFC matches and user-generated videos from YouTube, in addition to music videos." All of the programming will be displayed on the duo's TV, even if it comes from YouTube — "like silly videos of cats playing music." An English substitute once told me, many years ago (two months ago) that our class reminded him of an old nineties show he used to watch. "Give us a hint!" I demanded in excitement. "well" he declared "It had two teenage boys in it." "but I'm not even one teenage boy" But then it hit me like a ton of bricks. BEA. VIS. BUTT. HEAD. O. MI. LUMP!!!! i was honored to even be compared to the great gods they call beave and butt.

Is the MTV series 'Skins' : too racy for teens to watch?
the mustache infatuation>>> feb. 3
from socks to drinking glasses, mustaches are being tossed around the world!
things such as apparel, jewelry, kitchen stuff, and actual adhesive m-staches are being sold world-wide to boys and girls of all ages!
these little fuzzy things have always been around, but why so popular now???
back in the early 1950's it was probably the most outraging, hair pulling thing to do; be different, out of the ordinary. but as soon as the rebellious rock genre broke out and became part of mainstream music, the inordinate became the norm.
50 years later the more different you are, the more you fit in. that's where m-staches come in.
did you know: there is an actually m-stache contest!!! you wax yo' stache' for a week then everybody grows it back and whomever grows the best stache in an equal amount of time wins. join up! at...http://marchmoustachemadness.blogspot.com/
Keep combin' that healthy stache and PLEASE REMAIN...~~~... STACHE~TASTIC!!!!
