Florida Walmart’s 9/11 Display Offends Customers 

Florida’s back in the news again. 

According to various reposts:

This time people are furious after pictures of a Florida Walmart’s 9/11-themed Coke display began to circulate on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

Twitter user Shawn Richard Tweeted a picture of the display, which presented Coke Zero in place of Ground Zero and spurred thousands of angry retweets about the beverage company’s marketing ploy.

“We stopped and stared at it like, oh my god,” Richard said, according to BuzzFeed News. “Nobody seemed to be noticing it, it wasn’t very crowded, and I got the feeling that it had just been assembled. So we took some pics and went on our way.”

According to Orlando Weekly reports, the display has been taken down and that Walmart initially approved the design.

Personally, I don’t consider the display grotesquely offensive, but who asked me.

Jailed California Man Uses Homemade Fishing Hook To Steal Drugs From Sheriff’s Office

Man uses homemade fishing hook to steal drugs from jail.
According to KTLA–A California man was nabbed for being hooked on drugs. Literally.

Christian Kulbe, 46, was taken into custody just after midnight when a Santa Barbara Sheriff’s sergeant saw him stealing items from a dropbox for discarded drugs, the department said in a news release.

“The suspect was using a homemade cord and fishing hook to remove syringes, medications and other controlled substances that were inside the cabinet,” the release said.

Kulbe was already booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of possessing stolen property, petty theft, possessing burglary tools, prowling and possessing controlled substances.

Lol! Wow. This all jokes aside, this guy is pretty clever! He could have been McGyver or somebody.

QB Colin Kaepernick Now Has Best-Selling 49ers Jersey Due To Anthem Protest


Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for national anthem has gained him some new haters but most importantly, some new fans.

The Quarterback now has the highest-selling jersey among his San Francisco 49ers teammates, according to multiple reports.

Kaepernick was the 20th best-selling jersey on the official team’s website a few weeks before he started protesting during the national anthem before games. Kaepernick has decided not to stand for the national anthem during the preseason in protest of racial inequalities and injustices taking place in America, including police-related violence. He was joined by teammate Eric Reid in the movement as both took a knee while the anthem played in Thursday’s preseason game.

More of Kaepernick’s gear has sold in the past week than in the last eight months combined,according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell.

Kaepernick has not lost any endorsement deals as he shares his message.
