Henry Walker says he shattered his hip buying a watermelon at Walmart. An Alabama jury awarded him $7.5 million. - The Washington Post
The US legal system and this culture of suing is just so damn weird. Probably not even the strangest case this week, but this one made it onto the google news headlines at the right time for me to notice it ... I mean, from the title i at least expected him to grab a melon, 50 more being dislodged and him breaking his hip frantically dodging them and crashing into a concrete column or sth. (Also, dear Washington Post: He most certainly did not break his hip while buying the melon. He broke it while trying to grab it from the display. And i sincerely doubt he ended up buying it ;) I wonder if an Editor nowadays sees this and says to himself "ah fuck it, no one cares".) |
If he had ordered his watermelon from Amazon Prime, none of this ever would have happened. Two day wait for the watermelon, though.

idk, that doesn't scream anything to me. Maybe a little convoluted, could have been worded slightly differently, but how is it not sexually explicit? Cause it has the word sex in it? |
Quote:
I don't think its sexually explicit and that is not my point. You don't think the context re: revenge sex is inappropriate context for a HS test question? |
To be fair it happens all the time in society. We see it in movies, television, social media. Like I said, it's not the best example for a test question, but the 'people' aren't in high school necessarily. My kids, FR/SO probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at such a thing. The question itself wouldn't be the focal point of the problem. The problem itself would be. I would hope the class would have gotten a good laugh out of it.

Wow! So... It appears this original story, which was widely publicized and joked about - even though each story contained slightly different facts - actually had some kernel of truth, and this is the end of that (not so funny anymore) weird story. There are enough similar facts that this has to be what the original story was based on. Whether the facts were wrong because of misinformation, not knowing what the heck actually happened, or willingly changing the story to get clicks, who knows. ‘Unbearable’ smelling passenger that caused plane’s emergency landing dies from tissue necrosis | Fox News |

https://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world...ies/1065035306 Felon named ‘Fellony' charged with new felonies KOIN Staff - PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) - Fellony Hudson, a 22-year-old man from Salem, Oregon, is accused of felony kidnapping, felony eluding, felony possession of a stolen vehicle and nearly a handful of misdemeanors after being pursued by police across state lines. Hudson appeared in court Wednesday afternoon in Multnomah County Circuit Court where he was formally charged with a total of 3 felonies and 4 misdemeanors. According to Vancouver Police spokesperson Kim Kapp, officers received a report around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday of a female being assaulted inside a moving vehicle. The vehicle was traveling northbound on C Street in Vancouver. The driver, later identified as Hudson, ran a red light and continued to drive erratically. Kapp said the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Portland about a week ago. Patrol units in Vancouver caught up with the vehicle in the area of Fourth Plain Blvd. and Norris Street. Hudson, according to Kapp, refused to stop. The chase spanned several miles and eventually took law enforcement on southbound I-205. Police said that based on their observations, it appeared that a woman - known to Hudson - was attempting to jump out of the vehicle as it was in motion, but that he was seemingly preventing her. The pursuit entered Oregon and Portland Police helped with the pursuit. Eventually, the chase entered Gresham city limits, according to a Gresham police spokesperson. While Gresham officers did not join in on the pursuit, they did assist with setting up spike strips. The vehicle that Hudson was driving was successfully hit with a set of spike strips, which caused at least one of the vehicle's tires to deflate, bringing the chase to an end near Western Kia in Gresham. Hudson nearly hit a K-9 officer assigned to the Gresham Police Department while the officer was setting up to deploy the spikes, police said. Eventually, Hudson was taken into custody. Jail records indicate the woman inside the car with Hudson was his ex-girlfriend. The case is now being prosecuted by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office Domestic Violence unit. According to his criminal record, he has been convicted of at least 4 felonies in Washington. Records also show that he told jail staff he is transient, or has no permanent address. Jail records also show that at the time of his booking into the Multnomah County Detention Center, Hudson told staff that he uses meth daily and that he was high when he was booked into jail. He also told jail staff that he uses heroin weekly, according to jail records. Hudson will be back in court later this month. He will be charged in Washington with first-degree kidnapping, attempt to elude, and fourth-degree assault, according to Kapp. |
