  • The dude lit up a cigarette while he was waiting but it was ultimatley his snoring that got him caught!

    The criminal, who was waiting to break inside the house, lit up a cigarette and dozed off, reports South China Morning Post.
    The outlet further reported that after the homeowner, Tang, went to sleep with her child, she woke up due to loud snoring but ignored it thinking it was a neighbor. When 40 minutes had passed, she got up to clean her child’s milk bottle and noticed that the snoring grew louder and realized it was coming from another room in her house.



















  • The singer does seem to be trying to distance himself from the conservative implications:

    “The one thing that has bothered me is seeing people wrap politics up into this,” Anthony said. “It’s aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me, like I’m one of them. It’s aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we’re buddies and act like we’re fighting the same struggle here, like that we’re trying to present the same message.”

    But the line about:

    Well, God, if you’re five-foot-three and you’re three-hundred pounds
    Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds

    seems a bit hateful unless that’s supposed to be a metaphor for “fat cats”. The CNN article thinks it’s a metaphor:

    “though it has also courted controversy for its lyrics referring to politicians as “obese,” welfare recipients “milking” the system,”

    But the antisemitic connotations seem like a stretch to me. To assuming that criticism of capitalists is automatically antisemitic seems pretty antisemitic to me in it’s own right.
