Late in the evening on Monday May 3rd 2010 during
a Cardinal, Phillie baseball game a Phillies base ball fan jumped
over the wall separating the grand stands from the playing field
and ran on to it. Mayhem soon followed and the game was put on
hold while stadium security and police chased down the field runner.
A few minuets later this 17-year-old kid became the first field
jumper in baseball history to be tasered for running onto the
playing field.
It took more than one shot to bring down the illegal field jumper.
But when officer Barbrady finally hit his mark the kid went down
hard and fast.
The Philadelphia police department is investigating this matter
and the Phillies are discussing with them whether or not this
was the appropriate force to be used in such a event.
It’s Ironic that police cannot stop foreigners
from jumping the border fence in Arizona. But the Philadelphia
police department can stop baseball fans from jumping onto the
playing field. It’s a good thing for illegal immigrants
that Pennsylvania is not a border state.
Look out! Cougars are on the prowl, and
in record numbers.
Retail stores are reporting a jump in lingerie sales do in part
to older women spicing up their love life. The catalyst for this
trend seams to be in some of the glamorous 40- something women
who star in hit movie and TV shows like “Sex in the city”
and “Cougar Town”.
Many of these hit TV shows and big screen movies feature bedroom
antics of women in their 40s and 50s and they’re much younger
partners. Because of this, many of the big department stores in
London, New York, and Chicago are reporting record sales in lingerie
for older women.
Positive female role models in this age group such as the women
in the Sex and the City movies and Courteney Cox in TV's Cougar
Town are giving the women confidence to splash out on themselves.
Now that these older more seductive women also known as “Cougars”
are making a impact on the retail market place you can expect
to see a lot more entertainment, in the form of movies, books
and TV shows. Also many retailers will find new and exciting products
for them to buy.
Some time in the middle 1990s a new and annoying fashion fad
popped up on high school campuses around the nation. The Baggie
pants syndrome or also known as show your putt look, became a
new fashion trend among dumber than average adolescent boys.
Unlike other fashion trends that has come and gone like bell-bottom
paints, parachute pants, and the mullet hair cut. This particular
fashion insult has lasted almost as long as the iconic and equally
annoying Goth look that many high school drop out’s like
to sport while they smoke cigarettes and drink booze that they
have stolen from their parents liquor cabinet.
Several cities, and counties in the United States have tried to
legislate a ban on this fashion insult, but to no avail. Apparently
our constitution protects the rights of dumb teen boys to dress
how they see fit even though their pants do not.
In my opinion I can’t see any legislative solution to the
baggie pants syndrome. But I try to make the best of it. In fact
I use it as a useful and accurate indicator as to the quality
of the individual, and the kind of person the kid has a potential
to become. Some people might disagree with my opinion, and they
might even call this fashion profiling. But if you can’t
make them pull up their pants, you might as well judge them by
their fashion.
It was only a madder of time before some criminal’s
began to take advantage of the Muslim burkha for his or her own
personal endeavors.
In Great Britton last week robbers dressed as Muslim woman in
all-enveloping burkha and hijab robed a jewelry store. The robber
and his 2 accomplices barged into a jewelry store produced shotguns
from under their burkha’s and stole bangles, rings, and
lockets before escaping into a waiting car. Police are appealing
for information on the robbery.
This incident comes at a interesting time for European politics,
with the Muslim population swelling in Europe, many country’s
are debating weather or not to ban any person from covering their
face in public.
