All Chipotles will close on February 8th to retrain employees on how not to poison people.

0
0

In the wake of an E.coli outbreak that left many stores temporarily closed and many others pretending not to care, CNN Money reports that Chipotle will be closing all its stores for the day on February 8th to hold a company-wide meeting about food safety. 

The Chipotle sh*tstorm began in August, when 64 customers in Minnesota contracted salmonella, and 100 people in southern California got norovirus, the street term for which is "Winter Vomiting Bug." Oy.

They charge extra for guac, but the virus is included.

In the fall, an E.Coli outbreak infected 53 people in 9 states, and later, 140 students at Boston College were infected with norovirus. The FDA and CDC began a joint investigation of Chipotle in December, speaking to the severity of the situation. Some customers are even beginning to sue.

Mark February 8th on your calendars for a day to do pizza or salad for lunch. Better yet, use Chipotle's closure as an opportunity to try real Mexican food. 

You'll get through this.

Just when you made up your mind about 'Making A Murderer,' Stephen Avery's ex-fiancée says he's guilty.

0

The ex-fiancée of Stephen Avery, Jodi Stachowski, claimed in an interview Wednesday with HLN that despite her previous claims to the contrary, she definitely thinks Avery is guilty of the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix docu-series Making A Murderer, is currently serving a life sentence.  

Making A Murderer portrays Avery and Stachowski as relatively happy together, although they eventually split up while he was in prison. She now claims that her happiness was only an act to appease Avery.

Jodi Stachowski dated Stephen Avery for about two years, and was featured prominently in the documentary that had many viewers doubting his guilt. She even referenced two phone conversations she had with him on the day of the murder as strong evidence that he couldn't have done it. In the new interview, she claims he was physically abusive towards her, that he threatened to kill her and her family, and that she once ate two boxes of rat poison in hopes of escaping him for the safety of a hospital. She refers to him as a "monster," and says she asked the creators of the series, which followed the trial and subsequent conviction of Stephen Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, not to include her in it at all. 

Stachowski's exclusive interview comes on the heels (and on the same network) of Nancy Grace's debate with Donnie Wahlberg (wait, what?), star of the CBS show Blue Bloods, over Dassey's involvement in the murder. While Grace claims she's certain of Dassey's guilt (as well as Stephen's), Wahlberg, who penned an editorial on the topic in the Chicago Sun-Times (wait, again, what?) questions it. Wahlberg said he thinks Dassey's confession was coerced, citing Dassey's later retraction of that confession.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3dmk97Elh8

Making A Murderer has sparked national debate over Avery and Dassey's guilt and raised questions about the current state of America's law enforcement and justice systems. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Avery's defense lawyer Jerry Buting said that he doesn't know exactly why Stachowski changed her position, but believes that "the documentary showed that she was not going to be a reliable witness."

With all the drama the docu-series has made after its release... Is it too much to hope for a sequel?

Powerball winners from Tennessee take their winning ticket to NYC before claiming the prize.

0
0

Tennesseans John and Lisa Robinson came forward on Friday's episode of The Today Show to claim they have a winning ticket for the largest Powerball jackpot in history. Three winning tickets were sold in Tennessee, California, and Florida.

Tennessee lottery officials have not yet confirmed the ticket, and Tennessee law requires winners to come forward with the winning ticket and identification in order to claim their prize. So instead of doing that, they physically brought the ticket to New York City, a calm, peaceful metropolis where nothing goes wrong and no one ever gets robbed. This ignores all advice that winners should lay low and avoid the press, because winning a huge lottery can be a curse.

https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/687979826548883456

The couple seems sweet, and Lisa, who works at a dermatology office, said she'd be back at work on Monday. She even called her boss and left a message to inform him she would not be at work, and recommending he tune in to The Today Show.

Once again, they're ignoring advice to be incognito during this time. Even Today correspondent Savannah Guthrie looked like she was trying to clutch that ticket like Gollum reaches for his precious in The Lord of the Rings:

https://twitter.com/SavannahGuthrie/status/687986232060719104

Guthrie had some competition, as Al Roker might have been trying to cozy up to the lucky winners:

https://twitter.com/alroker/status/687978033978806280

Hopefully the Robinsons can make it back to Tennessee to receive their giant, novelty-sized check before anyone tries to swindle them in New York. They just have to make it out of Rockefeller Plaza before Savannah Guthrie or Al Roker snatch the ticket out of their hands. Good luck and Godspeed.

NBC exec says Jimmy Fallon doesn't have a drinking problem, he just likes to party, OK?

0

NBC executives say beloved late night host Jimmy Fallon does not have a drinking problem, which really makes you wonder: "Does Jimmy Fallon have a drinking problem?"

NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt told reporters on Wednesday that Fallon“doesn’t have a drinking problem that any of us know about.” Umm, what do they mean "that any of us know about"? Jimmy, no!

Execs were trying to squash the rumors that have been swirling since this summer about the late night host's excessive partying after he hurt his finger, then chipped his tooth, then hurt his other hand when he tripped and fell while holding a bottle of Jaegermeister, all in a matter of months​. Fallon joked about the minor injuries and posted pics of them to Instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/6qBi9UPZ15/

The comments from Greenblatt like “He goes out and has fun. He’s had some accidents" and "I don’t have those conversations with Jimmy Fallon” are slightly unsettling, but only time will tell if Fallon is just fun and clumsy or struggling with something darker. Hopefully, it's the former.

Here's Fallon losing at beer-air hockey with his hurt hand (and Taylor Kitsch).

Well, this viral photo of a sunset settles it: God is real. The Christian God, Jesus.

Sorry, unbelievers! Any doubt that any religion or scripture besides Christianity and the New Testament might have some valid claim to spirituality has been dashed by this stunning photo of a cross made of sunlight.

 

Unexplainable as a natural phenomenon, the definitive proof of Jesus was shared by a Michigan woman named Mechaele Loraffe and sent shooting through the Internet by meteorologist Matt Rudkin.

Liked by nearly 70,000 folks and shared by over 100,000, most commenters on the photo agreed, "The Lord is great and beautiful!"

Someone run and tell Jeff Bezos to take off the makeup, for there is only one God.

Controversial breastfeeding meme is either cute or end of society, depending who you ask.

0
0

Breastfeeding Mama Talk is a popular Facebook page devoted to, you guessed it, moms talking about breastfeeding. It's a mix of informative articles and goofy memes. The posts are all largely positive and the comments supportive, despite how controversial and divisive breastfeeding frequently is on the Internet. Until they posted this last week:

https://www.facebook.com/bfmamatalk/photos/a.471668436214912.96317.411182815596808/971087726272978/?type=3&theater

The meme set off a bomb in the comments section. It shows a toddler attempting to nurse his infant sibling, probably after seeing his mom do it a bunch. People reacted with anger, confusion, and accusations of pornography:

There were also many comments in support of the meme and the mommy who snapped the picture. Other moms shared photos of their children engaged in similar behavior. They had pictures of toddlers "breastfeeding" dolls and very inefficiently attempting to use pumps. Kids imitate their parents and these kids have been seeing breastfeeding. Kristy Kemp, who runs BFMT, has been responding with periodic updates. She seems pretty enraged by accusations of pornography:

https://www.facebook.com/bfmamatalk/posts/974993735882377

She further expanded in an interview with The Daily Mail, saying:

No one bats an eye when a kid pretends to bottle feed, but when they see a kid imitating breastfeeding they view negatively? How does that make sense?

Bottle feeding and breastfeeding share the same exact concept. Wouldn't it be strange for people to say "pornography" over a kid playing make believe with a bottle? So why the double standards? That is what I aim to fix.

For anyone to associate anything sexual or pornographic with kids and breastfeeding they would have to be pretty disturbed. We should be worried about the people who are viewing children in a sexual manner, not the parents who allow their kids to play make believe like healthy normal kids do.

I share the breastfeeding photos, such as the meme with the little boy pretending to breastfeed his baby brother to normalize breastfeeding and start discussions. It's a great way to educate and bring awareness. For anyone to twist a photo like that and associate it with porn, that's what should be offensive to society.

Whatever you think about this meme, let it remind you of one important fact: kids are weird, tiny drunk people with no boundaries.

Caitlyn Jenner wasn't happy about Ricky Gervais's jabs, so Gervais doubled down.

0
0

Ricky Gervais continues to not be sorry for making jokes about Caitlyn Jenner, and when Jenner finally responded, he doubled down by making even more jokes about vehicular manslaughter.

Last Sunday at the Golden Globes, Gervais joked:

“What a year [Caitlyn Jenner’s] had! She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers.”

He laughed, even if other people didn't.

Jenner, at a Television Critics Association event promoting the second season of I Am Cait, was asked about Gervais' performance. She responded, “I think what I’m gonna do is call the Golden Globes and see if they need a new host for next year and we’ll solve that problem."

Gervais responded to the response, bringing it back to the 2015 fatal car crash Jenner was involved in that killed a 69-year-old woman in Malibu.

https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/687987882989096960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

He retweeted an article about her response, adding the punchline:

Air Force officials apologize for MLK-themed "fun shoot."

0
0

Military officials have removed and apologized for a flyer featuring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. atop the words “fun shoot” at an Air Force Base in Georgia. The event was to be held on the holiday honoring the civil rights leader. The flyer advertised a gathering with skeet shooting on Jan. 18 for the Robins Air Force Base Trap and Skeet Club. An official at the military base’s Outdoor Recreation office said it was created by a marketing team. 

Not surprisingly, associating Dr. King's image with the word "shoot" and a figure holding a rifle was found by some to be in poor taste: 

https://twitter.com/bluestein/status/687696767132020736

It does appear that it was an extremely unfortunate mistake, as the base holds "fun shoots" on other federal holidays. There's one scheduled on President's Day entitled George Washington Fun Shoot, for example. It just so happens that Martin Luther King Jr. is the only person with a federal holiday who died as a result of assassination. The Air Force issued this statement:

We’re deeply sorry for any offense or harm caused by our insensitivity and failure to provide appropriate oversight of our marketing process. The flyer does not represent the values, opinions or views of the Department of Defense, the Air Force or Robins Air Force Base leadership and its employees.

We realized the inappropriateness of the advertisement several days ago and immediately began removing the flyer. There was no malice of forethought in the flyer’s creation and it was never the base’s intention to portray Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in a negative light. It was an honest mistake, to which we’ve personally counseled the parties involved and will provide them with remedial training and appropriate oversight to prevent this sort of inattention from occurring in the future. 

Again, we offer our heartfelt apology to those affected by our thoughtlessness. We hold the legacy of Dr. King in the highest regard.

The Air Force did blame the marketing team, but they should get with the times and specifically blame it on a graphic designer or intern. They also noted that they'll administer "remedial training" to the parties involved, which was a polite and formal way of hinting that whoever approved the flyer made a dumb mistake and got screamed at by an Air Force superior.

Restaurant manager uses logic to defeat the complaint of an unhappy customer.

0
0

Of the 580 reviews on TripAdvisor for Bennett's Cafe & Bistro, 438 rate the York, England restaurant as "Excellent." With customers decisively in favor of Bennett's, this negative review is clearly in the minority. According to Mashable, a Hannah C. wrote the TripAdvisor review after she was charged for ordering a hot water and lemon.

This place is absolutely awful. I went out for afternoon tea with some friends and I was on a tight budget. I ordered hot water and a slice of lemon which, firstly, did not arrive on time with all my friends cake and drinks. I was then charged £2 for the hot water and a thin slice of lemon. When I asked why I was being charged so much for some water the waiter rudely said "well, do you know how much a lemon costs?" Yes, its definitely not £2. He then went on to wrongly inform me that a 'pot of tea for one' (which is what I was charged for) is the same price as a lemon. To show just how ridiculous this is, my friend ordered a slice of chocolate cake which was £1.90.

Dreadful place, would definitely not recommend, and the rude waiter that served me should be sacked. I will not be returning and will be advising friends and family not to go there.

In contrast to the reviews praising Bennett's "moderate" prices, Hannah was not pleased. Maybe a £1.90 slice of cake could cheer her up.

https://www.facebook.com/bennettscafeandbistro/photos/pb.562708623777449.-2207520000.1452878803./562794857102159/?type=3&theater

Mike Fisher, the manager of Bennett's, took the time out of his day to give Hannah a thoughtful reply.

I’m sorry that you feel that you were "ripped off" and I’ll try to explain why you weren’t.

You entered the cafe and the waiter showed you to your seat, gave you a menu, waited for a time and then took your order. He entered it into the till, collected a cup, saucer and spoon and took them into the kitchen. There, he selected a knife, chopping board, got a lemon from the fridge, cut off a slice and put it in the cup. Then, he returned to the dining room, drew off the necessary hot water and carried the cup to your table. When you were leaving, he printed off your bill, took it to you, processed your credit card payment and cashed off the till. After you left, he cleared away your cup, saucer and spoon, took them into the kitchen, washed and dried them, along with the chopping board and knife and put away the lemon. Then, returning to the dining room he restacked the cup, saucer and spoon, wiped down your table and replaced the menu, awaiting the next customer.

That’s at least 2-3 minutes work for the waiter.

The cost of overheads for the business, i.e. rent, business rates, electricity costs, bank charges, etc works out at £27.50 per hour of trading. I pay my colleagues a decent living wage and after taking into account holiday pay, national insurance and non-productive time prior to opening and after closing, the waiter who served you costs me £12.50 per hour. Therefore, together the cost is £40 per hour or 67p per minute, meaning that the cost of providing you with 2-3 minutes of service was £1.34 - £2.00. Then the government add on VAT at 20% which takes the cost of that cup of fruit infusion to between £1.60 and £2.40 irrespective of whether you had a teabag costing one and a half pence or a slice of lemon costing five pence. I have to pay my suppliers otherwise the facilities won’t be available to other people who use them in the future. I accept that it makes the price of a cuppa in a city centre cafe look expensive compared to the one you make at home but unfortunately that’s the cruel reality of life. It’s actually the facilities that cost the money, far more so than the ingredients.

Perhaps, the rudeness that you perceived in me was triggered by the disrespect that I perceived in you by your presumption that you could use our facilities and be waited on for free.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is an English burn.

For the most part, the restaurant has received lots of support for their takedown of the review.

Meanwhile, Hannah C., who has since removed her review from TripAdvisor, is probably still complaining somewhere.

Police officer saves abandoned baby's life by whipping out a boob.

In Colombia, Police Officer Luisa Fernanda Urrea is being hailed as a hero after she saved the life of an abandoned baby using nothing but quick thinking, compassion, and her breasts.

Urrea was called to the scene after a newborn girl was discovered in the woods, crying in the undergrowth with part of her umbilical cord still attached. The girl was starving and at risk of hypothermia after being exposed, so Urrea swaddled her. And as luck would have it, she was a new mother herself, so she generously breastfed the baby from her own milk, saving her life. Video of the heartwarming moment was uploaded to Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/113119222163625/videos/671527832989425/

Urrea told local news,

I’m a new mother and I have milk, and I recognized the needs that this poor little creature had… I think any woman would have given her nourishment in the same circumstances.

It's an important reminder of what a miraculous gift breastfeeding is, even if some people insist on treating it like a shameful secret. But even the most prudish milk-shamer, who thinks that babies should only drink Gatorade and bras should be padlocked by the government, would have to agree: this cop did good. If she had been more "modest," that baby wouldn't be alive today.

The baby is now in the custody of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, where she is being cared for until an adoptive home can be found. Police are searching for the mother, who may face criminal charges.

Kudos to you, Office Urrea. You've just earned major cop points and major mom points in one move.

Johnson Thompson, an Australian filmmaker, apologized after a video he created with Adobe After Effects went viral for showing a possible UFO. Thompson made the video, entitled "Strange lights above Canberra," and posted it on Reddit, in the subreddit section for Canberra, Australia. The video received much, much more attention than he anticipated, garnering over 400,000 views on YouTube. Thompson did a pretty good job, so it's not surprising that it gained attention from UFO conspiracy theorists as well as actual scientists. He explains the entire thing here:

Even though their UFO isn't real, hopefully the concerned citizens of Canberra can prove that interesting things do actually happen there following this accidental hoax.

Yesterday, Redditor lessons_learnt posted a photo titled "Don't do that to the baby! .. oh, as you were." There's also a NSFW label, because when you look at it, you're pretty sure it's the most heinous thing ever shared on the Internet. But it's only an illusion, and this photo is actually the most boring thing ever shared on the Internet:

So, what did you see? A bald, shirtless man kissing a baby? Or big naked butt taking a dump on a baby? Either way, it says more about you than that baby or that guy or that imaginary butt. The comments on the post reflect that:

What Leonardo DiCaprio lacks in Oscars he makes up for in non-biological twins. First the Internet fell in love with the Swedish bartender who looked like a spot on 90's Leo, and now there's the look-alike who works at the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation. Which must be like Russia's version of Hollywood or something. Reddit user Obiektyw1855 posted this pic of the DiCaprio doppelgänger today, and everyone's freaking out at the uncanny resemblance. 

This Leo might actually have fought a bear.

To the delight of fans everywhere, Tim Curry, who played Rocky Horror Picture Show's Dr. Frank-N-Furter on Broadway and in the 1975 movie, has joined the cast of the FOX reboot of the cult film, only this time as narrator/criminologist. The role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania," will be played by Orange Is The New Black's Laverne Cox, with Janet being played by Victoria Justice, Ryan McCartan as Brad, Adam Lambert as Eddie (originally played by Meat Loaf), and Staz Nair as Rocky, the good doctor's creation. 

While he might not be playing the same transvestite, hopefully he'll still be sweet.

The two-hour taped television special, being made in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary, will tell the story of young engaged couple Brad and Janet, whose search for a telephone when their car breaks down in a storm leads them to Dr. Frank-N-Furter's bizarre castle. There they meet the the mad alien scientist (and an array of colorful characters, including Magenta and Columbia, who have yet to be cast) and witness his fabrication of the ultimate sexy muscle man, Rocky, whose sole purpose is to fulfill Dr. Furter's sexual desires. No word as to why Brad and Janet still don't have cell phones. 

A senior center executive dressed up a guy as an elderly woman for a press conference. People figured it out.

At a press conference in Rhode Island on January 5, Sue Stenhouse, who at the time was executive director of Cranston’s Senior Enrichment Center, proudly announced a snow shoveling program for the elderly. To the left of Cranston stood a small elderly lady with a tag reading "Cranston Senior Home Resident." It was later revealed that the elderly woman, who also stood next to Cranston's Mayor Allan Fung as he spoke, was neither elderly nor a woman.

The person was in fact a Cranston Senior Home bus driver whom Stenhouse dressed up to pose for the sake of publicity. The youthful glow of the "woman" did not immediately tip anybody off.

There's been no clear explanation given as to why an actual old woman couldn't be brought to the press conference. NBC 10 approached Stenhouse regarding this rather unnecessary ploy, and Stenhouse was not pleased. "I've been in a meeting all night being a great public servant for the city of Warwick. Now, I get this bullshit. And you guys did not reach out to me. And that was a big lie on the news."

Once it became clear that Stenhouse, who ran for secretary of state in 2006, couldn't disguise the situation, she resigned from her duties. ​
