Mexican Cannibal Suspect Kills Himself In Prison
Tuesday December 11, 2007
Jose Luis Calva was a self-proclaimed poet and dramatist. But to the world he was ghoulishly known as the “cannibal”, after police found cooked and seasoned bits of his girlfriend’s corpse on a plate in his apartment. Calva’s story took another bizarre turn on Tuesday when he was found dead in his Mexico City prison cell, after apparently committing suicide.
His death closed a grisly chapter, but left several others un-penned — he was in the midst of writing a book about himself when he used a belt to hang himself. The book was to be titled, “The Cannibal Poet.”
Calva was a suspect in at least three murders, all involving girlfriends of his or female acquaintances. (full story…)
As if I’m not paranoid enough already. Geeze.
Nothing to say…
… except that this some tomfoolery! More reasons not to watch FoxNews.
Ironic
Doesn’t this picture defeat the purpose of America Ferrera playing a character like Betty Suarez? 
On top of that, this has got to be one of the worse Photoshop jobs ever. Who let this cover run? Can somebody pay me $100/hr to unecessarily slim down perfectly good looking people??? Personal opinions aside, I could at least make it look like she went on a cayenne pepper diet!

Here’s another Photoshop hack job. It looks more believable but still unecessary.
I’d be mad if someone did that to me. I can understand some airbrushing but not cutting body parts in half.

Another recall…
Tainted toothpaste sparks probe
From Tuesday’s Globe and Mail
June 19, 2007 at 2:04 AM EDT
Health Canada is investigating suspected counterfeit toothpaste found in Southern Ontario that is similar to a product at the centre of a health recall throughout the United States because of fears it contains an ingredient used in antifreeze.
Steve Janke, 40, bought a tube of what purports to be Colgate brand toothpaste labelled as being manufactured in South Africa from a dollar store in Guelph, Ont.
The packaging was missing the French translation found on most Canadian products and the 100-millilitre tube was labelled as being manufactured by Colgate-Palmolive (PTY) Ltd. [CL-N] in South Africa.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide alert last week after finding similarly labelled tubes in four states. Some contained the chemical diethylene glycol (DEG), a cheap glycerin substitute found in antifreeze and brake fluid. (read more)
Geeze… can’t trust anything… not cat food, contact solution, condoms….
What next? Soon, I’ll be forced to move to a cabin in the hills and grow my own vegetables.
Being single ain’t so bad…
Not to make light of this situation but stuff like this makes me glad that I’m single.
Man Who Bit Off Girlfriend’s Nose Could Be Declared Dangerous Offender
Wednesday June 6, 2007
A man who bit off his girlfriend’s nose and spit it out during a horrifying fit of jealous rage could be declared a dangerous offender. Angel Jones was found guilty of aggravated assault after the outrageous attack in 2002, but now prosecutors want to assure he can be locked up indefinitely.
On Wednesday, the court heard the frantic 911 call his girlfriend made after the brutal assault.
“He’s going to kill me. He says he’s going to hurt me,” she sobbed.
On Wednesday she read an impact statement, saying, “No one can know what it’s like to not recognize yourself. It’s like I don’t have a face.”
Jones, who is representing himself, responded by asking her, “Are you angry?”
She replied: “Yes. Words cannot describe how I feel.”
The victim, who was 26 years old at the time, can’t be identified.
Police found her nose on the floor, but doctors were unable to reattach it. She has had several reconstructive surgeries and still needs many more.
At his initial trial, the jury quickly rejected Jones’ preposterous claim his girlfriend’s nose ‘fell off’ after her body became brittle because she was taking weight loss medicine at the time.
Jones has since been charged with assault on at least 7 other occasions. The hearing continues Thursday when the court will hear from a psychologist.

Some may say there’s always two sides to the story but I can’t even think of anything she could have done to deserve this. And the guy is representing himself too? Crazy.
Sigh
Hi-Five Lead Singer Tony Thompson Found Dead
By Roman Wolfe
Date: 6/1/2007 3:30 am
Hi-Five lead singer Tony Thompson was found dead yesterday (June 1) in his hometown of Waco, Texas.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that Thompson’s body was found outside of an apartment complex around 10:00 pm.
He allegedly died of drug overdose, but the cause of death has to be confirmed.
Thompson and Hi-Five hit #1 with 1990’s “I Like The Way (The Kissing Game),” which was produced by R&B/Hip-Hop producer Teddy Riley and taken from the group’s debut, Hi-Five.
The album also produced singles like “I Can’t Wait Another Minute” and “I Just Can’t Handle It.”
Hi-Five broke up around 1994 but reunited and released a new album The Return in 2006 on Thompson’s record label N’Depth.
Thompson also collaborated with Port Arthur, Texas rapper Bun-B on his 2006 single “Rock Ya Body,” which was produced by Play-N-Skillz.
Thompson, was working on new material for an upcoming album as well.

I would have expected to hear this about one of the members of Jodeci or something since they are looking so busted these days… Anyway, I guess I still remember Tony Thompson in the 90s singing about the kissing game. So sad.

Finally posting
Sometimes I get tired of this blogging stuff because I’m tired of random people coming to my page and leaving me messed up messages like “your a fucking bitch u need to grow up… u fucking slut” (in response to one of my stories about the mens) or stupid shit like “Im cute and ur NOT ,things even out!”
Who knew that a small comment about how stupid wearing U.g.g.s in hot weather is would lead to getting more random comments than anything else I’ve written. I guess during the cold winter, people were searching for winter footwear and landed on my page. I actually deleted what I said about the particular footwear from that post because I’m tired of the wierd comments I’ve been getting on that page.
Miguel!! Someone even impersonated you by adding a comment under your name but I knew it wasn’t you because why would you leave a comment on something I wrote way back in August?
I guess I could password protect my posts but I don’t really want to. Then I think, do I really want to continue to put my business all out in the street like this? Anyway, enough about me….
Why is it April and snowing here. Damn Toronto weather. According to www.citynews.ca it is currently -6 degrees (celcius) with a wind chill of -13 degrees. Happy Spring!

Seven-Year-Old Finds Offensive Label On Couch
“It’s not often that an item intended to induce relaxation causes this much stress. But when Doris Moore’s seven-year-old daughter discovered an inappropriate label on a couch she just bought, kicking back and relaxing on the piece of furniture was the farthest thing from her mind.
The little girl approached her mom after discovering a label on the dark brown couch that listed the colour as ‘nigger brown’.
Moore was understandably shocked.
‘For me to buy couches and then the colour coming under that, nigger brown, I was floored,’ she said.
The couch was purchased as a store called Vaniak Furniture, but the manager, Romesh Kumar, claims he knew nothing about the label, saying it’s a problem with the supplier.
For Moore, and her family, who are from Ghana it’s difficult to fathom how such an offensive word could find its way on to a piece of furniture.
‘With slavery and what happened to us and the words they called us, it hits home,’ she said.
Moore is filing a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission and she wants the word taken off the furniture.”
He must be an astronaut…
Not the best way to conduct business … Like anyone is going to go to his store after this. I love the way the cameraman took a full shot of the storefront. Here’s some excerpts from the story.
Silverman Helps: The Story Behind The Attack
Thursday February 8, 2007
…The attack on CityNews’ Peter Silverman has become the talk of North America.
The 75-year-old ombudsman had just gone back to see an old nemesis thinking things were about to be smoothed over. But it didn’t end up that way.
As Peter went into the store run by Adam Plimmer, the 33-year-old suddenly came out from his shop in a fit of anger. He took several swipes at Silverman, grabbing his papers, slapping at him, hitting him with his front door and throwing snowballs at the crew and a TTC employee who’d stopped to help.
… Plimmer was incensed because the Silverman Helps team had repeatedly gone to his King St. West Opticians shop about complaints he was allegedly selling counterfeit versions of some famous trademarked glasses frames. There were also questions about the eye test he administered and allegations he hadn’t lived up to promises that had been made to customers.
It all began when a woman named Diana Eromin contacted Peter about her experience at the store.
“I was ready to pick up my glasses and he was screaming, ‘you don’t get it!’ He said, ‘get the hell out before I kill you!’ That was my last time with him alone.”
Katherine Ng paid Plimmer nearly $700 for a pair of glasses which included a free eye test. When he couldn’t get the prescription right she wanted to cancel the deal.
“He said no, if you don’t get out of my store I’m going to call the cops,” she recalls.
… So you can imagine the Silverman Helps team’s surprise when the optician called the office to offer a white flag of true.
“I’ve become a new man,” he insisted. “I’ve witnessed the power of God and Mr. Silverman, I love you and you can come and talk to me.”
Peter accepted the invitation hoping to get a refund for some viewers. But it quickly became apparent it wasn’t genuine.
“You too!” Plimmer screamed at the TTC worker when the crew arrived around 4pm Wednesday. “You stand in front of my f***ing store. I don’t care. Get out of my store!”
That attitude didn’t sit well when police showed up. Plimmer promptly locked himself inside, while armed Emergency Task Force officers took up residence on the street.
Soon after, he came out and was led away in handcuffs, charged with assault and assault with a weapon. That ‘weapon’ was a broomstick.
YEAH …. Here’s a short clip via YouTube but go to CityNews.ca for the full video and story.
But… she’s an astronaut!
02/06/2007 – (Orlando-AP, Feb. 6, 2007) – A NASA astronaut has been charged with attempted first-degree murder in an alleged kidnapping attempt involving a romantic rival.
Orlando police were in the process of adding the new charge against Lisa Marie Nowak, 43, spokeswoman Sgt. Barb Jones said in a statement.
“The intent was there to do serious bodily injury or death,” Jones said, referring to a new steel mallet, knife, rubber tubing and large garbage bags that police found in Nowak’s possession.
Nowak, a Navy captain and married mother of three, had already been charged with attempted kidnapping, attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery, and a judge had said Tuesday morning that she could be freed on $15,500 bail provided she stay away from the other woman and wear a monitoring device. …
… Police said Nowak drove 900 miles, donned a disguise and was armed with a BB gun and pepper spray when she confronted a woman she believed was a competitor for the affections of Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, an unmarried fellow astronaut.
Oefelein, 41, piloted the space shuttle Discovery in December. He and Nowak trained together but never flew a mission together.
Nowak told police that her relationship with Oefelein was “more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship,” according to an arrest affidavit. Inside Nowak’s vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities found a pepper spray package, an unused BB-gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Oefelein and Colleen Shipman.
Is it just me or does the fact that she is a damn ASTRONAUT supposed to mean she is smart enough and level headed enough to avoid all this foolishness??
According to authorities, Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Oefelein, and when she found out Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, she decided to confront her early Monday, according to the arrest affidavit.
Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn’t have to stop to go to the bathroom, authorities said.
Guess not.

Music stuff
I think it’s ironic that Will.I.Am produced “Hip Hop is Dead” for Nas considering the Black Eyed Peas is a perfect example of how hip hop has been dying over the years (I mean really… my humps??). But then maybe BEP is sorta like his day job… you know, that full time job that you do to pay the bills and then producing songs for real hip hop artists is like his weekend hobby, the thing that you do in your spare time because you are really passionate about it.
I found this clip of Nas and Jay-Z performing the song together live. It’s kind of funny seeing Jay-Z being the hype man.
In other music news, I spotted this over at Crunk and Disorderly. I don’t who it is but it’s supposed to be a “response” to Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. Dude sounds like he is suffering from Little Dick Syndrome and is seriously trying to overcompensate. What smut! Some of it doesn’t even rhyme. CLICK HERE for the “Man’s” version of Irreplaceable
