Willie J. Bean, a 25-year-old man-child, was arrested for allegedly attacking an 11-year-old kid over some Pokemon cards on Monday afternoon.
While most people his age are slaving away at a job, Bean was hard at work trying to reach his goal of catching all the Pokemons and becoming the Grand Marshall Pokeman, or something. I never really learned how to play the game as a teenager because I had a girlfriend, and a job. This guy clearly has neither.
According the Kankakee County sheriff’s police, Bean picked up the boy and threw him on the ground after he wouldn’t trade Pokemon cards with “another boy.” He also claims his “twin brother” actually attacked the boy before eventually admitting… you guessed it…

There are certain types of people you shouldn’t accept as a Facebook friend, like your parents or that high school bully who’s “found Jesus,” but who’s the one person that no one wants to connect with? Well, according one survey, no one wants to friend their boss. The reason being is that most people are afraid their status updates or pictures would get them fired.
But we think as long as you’re not as dumb as the people who posted these five Facebook status updates below, you should be fine.

Believers see Ganesh in an eggplant but we see all see something else

Believers have been flocking to a small shrine in Leicester, England to pray to what they say is the reincarnation of the Hindu god, Ganesh. And in this life, the deity has taken the form of an eggplant.
Praful Visram, a 61-year-old man who runs 4 Seasons Catering in Leicester, says the slice in his eggplant looks like the multi-armed deity. Let me just go ahead and point out the giant multi-armed elephant in the room and say what you’re all thinking — it looks like a vagina.
After showing the holy/naughty eggplant to his wife, they agreed:

YouTube star Antoine Dodson publicly renounced his homosexuality in an announcement on Facebook. He’s become something called the True Chosen Hebrew Israelite descended of Judah. Given religion’s track record on praying the gay away, I’m fairly certain we’ll be seeing Dodson back to his normal meme-tastic self again pretty soon.
Check out his full statement on Facebook and these other five status updates that are total nonsense.

‘Toddler Fight Club’ video gets two women arrested after it is posted on Facebook: Cops

Two women were arrested on child abuse charges for allegedly encouraging three kids to beat up a 2-year-old. Krystina Woods and Jakitta Hollins both face felony counts of child abuse, failure to prevent bodily harm, and talking about “Toddler Fight Club.”
Officers were called to Bundle of Blessings Kid Kare by the director to report the child abuse after a video showing the toddler fight was allegedly posted on Facebook by Woods and Hollins. Some people will literally do anything to get a few ‘likes.’
The victim’s mother was told that the 2-year-old “fell down,” which I doubt she believed since that excuse has worked exactly zero times.
This isn’t the first time Bundle of Blessings Kid Kare has been in trouble.

‘Buddy Cup’ lets you friend people on Facebook by bumping glasses but we’ve got 15 good reasons that’s a bad idea

Budweiser has a new product called the ‘Buddy Cup‘ that’ll let you friend someone on Facebook by just bumping glasses. The promo video shows young attractive people at a cool party bumping away, but the reality of drinking at a bar isn’t nearly as glamourous. Most heavy drinkers are overweight, and do you really want to ‘friend’ the annoying bachelorette party in the next booth? What happens if your friend request is denied? Do you get a cup full of beer poured on your head? As you’d expect, Budweiser is still working out the kinks.
Here are this weeks dumb Facebook users that you’d definitely want to avoid at the bar.

Eating boogers newest health craze

A new study suggests that it may not be so bad for kids to eat their snot. Um, yeah, you can basically forget about lunch if you’re planning on reading on…
Dr. Scott Napper, a Canadian biochemist, really dug into his research and discovered that boogers contain a lot of sugar groups. The mucus also contains a lot of germs and bacteria that, when ingested, can train the immune system to fight off the germs.
Science is responsible for a lot of things I love. You know, cell phones, computers, Kleenex. So I’m always ready to get behind any new research. But this time, I’m siding with the parents. I’ve barely been able to get through this blog without dry heaving several times.
Plus, thankfully, not everyone agrees with Dr. Napper’s hypotheses.

Man says cheapo shower gel burnt his testicles

A 42-year-old UK man named Raymond Cuss claims that an off-brand shower gel from a 99p store left him with a burned penis and testicles. They say you get what you pay for, but roasting your meat and two veg seems like it’d cost more than two U.S. dollars. This dude, at left, is not Cuss. But he is, however, the only iStock photo we could find tagged “groin pain.”
Cuss, said a layer of skin was ripped from his manhood and left glowing red after using the a cheap off-brand shower gel in the shower. He was awarded £1,000 in an out of court settlement. Apparently, he used an off-brand lawyer to take his case as well.
The chemistry experts over at the 99p Store suggested that the reaction was due to the carpet cleaning chemicals Cuss used in his job that somehow mixed with the gel. But unless he directly applied the carpet cleaner on his own personal rug then I doubt that was the reason for his burn.
Why did Cuss buy the Dettol brand shower gel?

A New Hampshire man recently lost his life savings on a carnival game in order win an XBox Kinect but left with a giant stuffed Rasta banana. His life savings was a whopping $2,600 or as functional adults would call it, about two months worth of rent money and a full tank of gas.
Henry Gribbohm claims that he was scammed by a game called Tubs of Fun while trying to win an Xbox Kinect which is valued at about $100. Instead of sulking off into the sunset like a normal loser he doubled down to win back the $300 he already spent. Clearly, math isn’t his strong suit.
The amazing thing is how (or why) Gribbohm explained his side of the story to the local news station.
