News that makes you say WTF?!?!

The police arrived at the Chuck E. Cheese location on Wednesday, spotted the employee at the doorway of the restaurant and had a brief conversation with him. After verifying that he matched the woman’s description, officers re-entered the restaurant, only to learn that the employee had donned the mouse suit. Now, they had to arrest Chuck E. Cheese.

We were eating, and they did the announcement that Chuck E. was going to come out,” Ms. Gegenheimer said in an interview. “My 6-year-old wanted a picture, so we followed him. At the same time, a cop out of nowhere grabs his arm and says: ‘Chuck E.’s busy right now.’ I could hear them saying, ‘Don’t resist, don’t make a scene.’”

As a police officer said in his report: “I grabbed his right arm while giving the verbal instruction, ‘Chuck E., come with me, Chuck E.’” The mascot was cuffed and taken to a police car, still wearing his costume. Only at the car was his costume head removed, revealing the human being beneath for all to see.

They set the head on the SUV,” Ms. Gegenheimer said. “All the kids are watching this. My kids said, ‘That’s not Chuck E?’”

Probably confused the kids as to who was the bad guy.

One more reason to avoid Chuck E Cheese.

that’s before they have to find a way to pay players NIL money…

yes, it is trickling down to HS levels.

The HS is in Georgia not Texas which surprised me a little.

And the stadium is named after "the longtime Buford City Schools Board of Education chairman, who attended the high school himself and is credited with transforming the school district. "

But I still haven’t been able to find a place where it says where the funds came from. The HS team is currently ranked 10th in the nation and their first game is scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN.

I’m surprised they still exist…

We actually had one open in our city within the last year. So not only do they still exist they are actually expanding (or opening new locations at least).

In India, according to Vice.com, in 2025

Not recent news, but I am amazed these two kids managed to do it at their ages. I had never heard of this story.

After recent reports of hospitals trying to harvest organs while people were still alive, this opinion piece is WTF. The next stage is snatching folks to harvest their organs. Note I have signed up as an organ donor for decades, and am happy for my parts to be used once I no longer have need of them.

I see where it makes sense in a cold, logical way, but dismissing a pet to become prey?!?!

well, people probably shouldn’t be making: “chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs” pets.

Definitely not chickens.

(you know, read the article to find our what prey animals they want to feed the zoo animals)

The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time.

It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.

I’m going to disagree with this statement, assuming that it’s meant in a “dogs, cats, and horses are acceptable as pets, but these are not” sense.

I do admit to not perceiving chickens as a critter that has the kind of symbiotic-ish relationship I would expect of a “pet”, but I’m willing to concede that could be due to lack of experience with them in such a context / having had the misfortune of having had first-hand exposure to a commercial poultry farm.

Now, if that was meant as more of a “people should not keep pets” statement…I still disagree, but I can perceive logic behind such an opinion (particularly as I believe that people who could give up pets to be prey probably should not have pets).

I’m just saying livestock aren’t pets.

Fixed, because you are not the law.

livestock are pets with benefits.
