America’s Latest Social Media Villain Stole Halloween Candy from Kids!
One chocolate enthusiast is waking up from her sugar coma to discover she is the country's latest social media villain.
This Halloween, a San Diego resident and his friends set-up an experiment involving candy and a hidden camera.
On Halloween night, Nathan Brown and his roommates made an impromptu "social experiment" at their house in Serra Mesa. They set up a table with three boxes of full-size candy bars for trick-or-treaters to come and take. They also wrote a note to the trick-or-treaters, "Help yourself, but please be considerate." "We thought we`ll leave some candy out...of course people are going to help themselves to a lot, but it'll be fun to see who takes what," Brown said. Brown and his roommates left home for about an hour. They returned to empty boxes. So, they checked the security video to see which kids took the most.
Progressives Try to Ruin Another Halloween
As a member of Generation X, I was lucky enough to enjoy Halloween as a child in the 1970's before progressives began trying to ruin it with politics.
What used to be a fun night of costumes and "trick or treat" with your friends has become the latest casualty of political correctness.
In case you haven't heard, many costumes are no longer acceptable. There is some good news though, kids. You can dress up as a solar panel. The Daily Caller reports:
DOE Wants Kids To Dress Up As Solar Panels and Windmills For Halloween The Department of Energy (DOE) is celebrating Halloween by carving DOE themed Jack-O-Lanterns and instructing kids to dress up in “energy themed” costumes. The DOE official website includes instructions on how kids can dress up as a solar panel, a wind turbine, an “energy vampire,” a particle accelerator, or Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.
The Dark Side of Halloween 2015
Police recruiting numbers are plummeting, and an alert has been issued that is sure to convince potential academy cadets to consider alternative careers:
The FBI has issued an alert to law enforcement about a possible "Halloween Revolt" by a dangerous anarchist group, an official has confirmed to CBS News. Federal officials issued a bulletin to local police departments about the potential for attacks against their officers, CBS News has learned. As first reported by the New York Post, a group known as the National Liberation Militia may be planning to dress in costume, cause a disturbance, and then ambush police who come to help. The Post reports the group has recommended members wear typical holiday masks and bring weapons like bricks and firearms. NYPD officials told the Post there is no specific threat to New York City, and they are monitoring the situation.
Make It Stop: Hillary Sends Out Hillary-Themed Costume Ideas
The Clinton campaign has gone full Hilloween.*
*I hate myself for using that word.
Hate it or not, though, it's happening. This week Hillary Clinton's campaign pushed out a list of 5 "DIY Hillary Clinton costumes" guaranteed to make your Halloween a little more...egalitarian? Search me.
You can choose between "Park Ridge Hillary" (white collared blouse and plaid jumper) or "Hipster Hillary" (striped pants and glasses) or "Cold Shoulder Hillary" (a weirdly appropriately-named combination of a cut-up turtleneck and red lipstick)---and away we go!
They're really flogging the concept:
Latest ISIS victim: Gory Halloween props banned
Post-September 11, George W. Bush encouraged Americans to return to normalcy. Go shopping, go to restaurants, don't be afraid. When the dust settled and it became clear that our enemy was al Qaeda, the joke became, "don't let the terrorists win!" Not in the mood to grab a beer? "Don't let the terrorist win!" And so on.
When I read this article, "don't let the terrorists win!" seemed an appropriate response.
The Washington Post reported:
Busch Gardens — which operates parks in Williamsburg, Va., and Tampa, Fla. — said in a statement that it has stopped using the props during Howl-O-Scream, an event that is already underway at the Virginia park. “Many of the scenes depicted at Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream are graphic in nature, but they are fictional and are not intended to provide commentary on current world events,” Busch Gardens Williamsburg communications manager Kevin Crossett said in a statement. “The props in this year’s event were designed and purchased several months ago. “In light of recent events, some of these props have the unintended consequence of appearing insensitive and are being removed. Busch Gardens apologizes for any offense they may have caused.” Howl-O-Scream is scheduled to open in Florida later this month, according to the park’s Web site.But it looks like this was all the fault of the Virginia Gazette who posted pics of the exhibit on their front page:
