Damn!! Thursday.

When Thursday comes around, I find that I have dozens of links to stories that are Damn!! worthy. At least from afar. When I look closer and actually roll the story around in my head those dozens of stories shrink down to just a handful. What I am trying to say is that I don't just throw a few links together and call it a day. No I start with a a lot of links and then take a few and throw them together and call it a day. You see. It's totally different. In case you are wondering the cat in the above picture weighs in at 40 pounds. You can read about it here.

Let's start with something easy this week. The above video is a news report about people giving their personal information to a man in the hopes of receiving a $1000 pre-paid debit card. The man runs a Tax Filing business in the back of a store. It is obvious that something is not right with this scenario. I'm not posting it because of that. I am posting it because of the guy who answers the Reporter's questions through a mega phone. He is awesomely dickish.

Look at the picture above. Is that a doll or a baby? If you answered "Whatever it is it's creepy as fuck!" then you are right. If you answered it's a doll then you are also right. That is a doll that is so life like (i.e. creepy) that cops declared it a dead a baby and called in an ambulance in the hopes of saving it. When the medics arrived they realized that it wasn't a baby but in fact a creepy doll. Read more here.

Recently Jacksonville police officers responded to a complaint of prostitution and narcotics at a hotel room. When the officer arrived they knocked on the door and were greeted by a 4 year old boy. The boy who would later test positive for cocaine said "Hi, Policeman." The door was quickly closed. When the officers got the door opened again they were met by a man who, when asked about the boy, told officers he didn't know who the child belonged to. Eventually the officers entered the room and prevented the child from digesting more crack cocaine. The child was taken to a hospital for observation. He is well and is in protective custody. You can read the whole story here.

Do you smell that? Sniff. Sniff. I can smell it. It smells like bitch. Yep. That's definitely pure bitch. It must be coming from Jackie Brucia, the woman in the above picture. I should explain. The story starts with Debbie Stevens a 47-year-old mother of two. Debbie used to work under Jackie in Long Island but moved away. She came back to visit and struck up a conversation with Ms. Brucia. During this talk Debbie learned that her former boss needed a kidney transplant. Jackie said that she already had someone lined up. Debbie offered her own, if that fell through. Debbie moved back to Long Island and got a job once again working under Jackie. Ms. Brucia asked Debbie if she had meant what she said, because her donor was denied. Jackie assured her that she would be willing to donate her kidney to the woman. It would turn out that Debbie was not a perfect match to Jackie. The Doctors told Debbie that if she donated her kidney to someone else that would bump Ms. Brucia up on the list. Jackie did just that and Ms. Brucia got her kidney. All was well with the world. Until Debbie was pressured into returning to work while not fully recovered. She found herself demoted, mistreated, transferred, and eventually fired. Now I am not saying Jackie hired Debbie just to get her kidney but Jackie hired Debbie just to get her liver. Read the whole story here.

The man in the above video is Stuart Chaifatz. He made this video because of his son Akian. Akian is autistic. He is normally well behaved but Stuart was told that Akian was having outbursts and was being violent at school. Stuart knew that something must be wrong. A behaviorist was brought in to speak to Akian and found him well behaved. The behaviorist even tried to push Akian to make him have an outburst to no avail. Stuart figured something must be wrong. He decided to put a recording device on his son to find out just what.  Watch the above video or go here to learn just what was happening to Akian.

The boy pictured above is Tyler Whelan. He's dead. He was murdered by his stepfather. The man, Elvis Lee, beat Tyler to death. He did this because he was jealous of the attention given to the boy by his mother. It wasn't the first time he hurt the boy. The man was in anger management courses and still the boy's mother left him with her child. Say what you will about Elvis, I'd call him a gutless, disgusting, excuse for a man that will find himself much loved in prison, but I have more disdain for the boys mother. Stephanie Whelan denies causing or allowing the child's death. Lady, if your child has been repeatedly beaten, to the point of having to go to a hospital, and you continue to allow the man who did it around him, then the boys death is as much your fault as his. You can read all of the details here.

Imagine for a second that you are out walking your dog when all of sudden a huge bird of prey swoops down and attempts to make a meal out of your beloved companion. What do you do? Well if you're Suzanne DoddDodd's dogs. Read the whole story here.

As always we end on physical injury. The above video is a truly cringe worthy affair. A young boy attempts to ride his scooter down a rather steep hill as his parents tape the incident. I swear you can pinpoint the moment when his parents realize that this was a bad idea. Either way the kids eats it. Hard. All I can say is DAMN!!
