The parents couldn't be bothered changing their own name.

Didn't Britain had a Prime Minister named Heath ?

CDC official accused of child molestation, bestiality

Quote:

An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been arrested and charged with two counts of child molestation and one count of bestiality, police said.

Police arrested Dr. Kimberly Quinlan Lindsey, 44, in DeKalb County, Georgia, on Sunday.

Authorities also charged Lindsey's live-in boyfriend, Thomas Joseph Westerman, 42, with two counts of child molestation.

The two are accused of "immoral and indecent" sexual acts involving a 6-year-old, according to information from DeKalb County Magistrate Court and an arrest warrant.

The bestiality charge says Lindsey "did unlawfully perform or submit to any sexual act with an animal."

The alleged incidents took place between January 1, 2010, and August 22, 2011.

Westerman is out of jail on bail; Lindsey remains in jail with bail set at $20,000, said Lt. Pam Kunz of the DeKalb County Police Department.

An officer was bitten by a police dog while chasing burglary suspects
on foot near a Portland high school Saturday, police said.

“During the chase, and likely due to the dense fog, the police dog bit one of the officers,”
Simpson said. “The suspects were not located.”

Oh sure, blame it on the fog...It's always the fog's fault

lmao!

When I watched The Fog (Oh, I'm sorry...John Carpenter's The Fog, what is up with that?) with a friend a few years ago we were laughing our ass off at a scene in the boat. I actually found that scene, but remade with the words but cartoon people? Anyway, you reminded me of that.

There's no fog bank out there. There's a fog bank out there!

Maybe you had to be there.

Oops! Cleaner Scrubs Away $1.1M Artwork
A cleaning woman at a German art museum mistook a $1.1 million sculpture for a mess, and made a bigger mess of things when she scrubbed most of it away.The cleaner went to work on the Martin Kippenberger installation titled “When It Starts Dripping From the Ceiling," a patina intended to look like a dried rain puddle, The Associated Press reported.The overzealous cleaning woman mistook it for a stain, and scrubbed most of it away.
Cleaning crews had been ordered to stay 8 inches away from the piece, but it is not known if the woman had received those directives.A spokesperson for the museum said it is impossible to return the artwork to its original state following the damage. The work had been on loan to the museum from a private collector.Kippenberger was a German artist who died in 1997.

Owwww. Owww, oww, ow.

Maybe she'll become an art critic.

I bet she doesn't feel bad at all. I bet she's bitter that she spent so much time on it just to get yelled at, and I bet she's even more bitter about the fact that some douchebag can pay 1.1 million dollars for a stupid stain while she can barely afford to feed her family.

Whatever it is, a work of art should be recognized as such by anyone. If it is not seen as a work of art then it is not a work of art.

I have seen quite a few works that I would not call art but it was obvious an artist (at least, he calls himself that) put them together. From the pictures shown, I might have been curious but I'm not sure I would have seen it as art.

DanaC · 11-08-2011, 05:06 AM

I think it's art. It is a created illusion. What it's trying to say, I do not know.

@ Clod: good point, but I didn't mean so much in terms of feeling guilty at destroying art, as at finding yourself in the middle of a storm and and apparently responsible for the destruction of a million dollar's worth of anything.
