Top 5-Woman posing a pregnant teen student charged with assaulting principal –Why so upset


WELLAND, Ont. -- A 28-year-old Welland woman posing as a pregnant teen student under a pseudonym was charged Tuesday for allegedly assaulting the principal at Eastdale Secondary School. The woman enrolled in the school's second semester classes under the name Terra Eaglesnest and claiming to be pregnant. Suspicions arose last week when the woman's identity could not be confirmed, said Niagara Regional Police Const. Neal Ridley, a school resource officer who was called in to investigate.
"She wasn't an active student," he said of the woman who he estimates only attended classes "four or five times" since the semester began Feb. 4. Though he only met her in person for the first time on Tuesday, Ridley said her appearance did raise some suspicions among staff in regards to her age. She had allegedly informed the school that she was pregnant and had been referred to District School Board of Niagara's Young Moms program. On Tuesday, Ridley arranged a meeting with the woman and principal Erin Lotherington.During the meeting, the woman's true identity was revealed, Ridley said.When she "found out the jig was up" she went to collect her belongings.

Top 4-Woman wins $5,000 to let strangers name her baby –Nice free money

A Los Angeles mother-to-be is crowdsourcing her baby's name and getting paid $5,000 to do it. Natasha Hill, 26, couldn't decide what to name her kid, so she signed up for a contest at Belly Ballot, a site that lets friends and family help choose your baby's name. Usually, Baby Ballot has loved ones select from a list of names you make up yourself. But for Hill, anyone in the whole world can vote from a list of names curated by the site. That list will come from "currently trending names" and names sponsored by advertisers. "I'm so excited to have won," Hill said. "I think the whole Belly Ballot concept is so social and fun, and can't wait to see what everyone votes for." Hill told NBC her boyfriend worries "people are going to use it as a chance to do something pranky," but Baby Ballot promises anything too weird or corporate will be banned. Voting takes place March 18-22.
 

Top 3-Condoms home delivered to promote beef patties-Not a good marketing stunt

A BRISBANE burger joint is facing a consumer backlash after they delivered condoms to letterboxes across Brisbane to promote their beef patties The condom packets bear the slogan ''get intimate with our new premium beef'' and were delivered to letterboxes across New Farm, West End and Kelvin Grove at the weekend. Burger Urge owner Sean Carthew said the complaints have begun rolling in.
 'We've had a parent complain and say if their child found that in the letterbox that would be concerning,'' he said. ''We've got some big franchise competitors and we're a small business. When you just do standard flyer drops, more often than not they just go straight into the bin. We're just trying to be a little bit creative about how we can market. ‘One irate condom recipient emailed Burger Urge to express his disgust.''I've never contacted a company to have a whinge before but I've got a couple of extra days off this week so I'm making an exception for you,'' he wrote.''Yesterday you put a condom in my mailbox to try and inspire me to eat your burgers? Sorry I think you just lost a big chunk of market share to Grill'd and the local pub. At least they've got some shred of class.''But Mr Carthew said his business couldn't afford multi-million dollar fit outs or big promotions.''To be honest, it's hard enough the retail market the way it is at the moment just staying in business. We've got 70 employees who pay their rent and rely on us to be solvent,'' he said.

Top 2-Christians upset over the poster of a woman licking a cow

 

Burger Urge

THE advertising watchdog has thrown out a complaint against a Brisbane burger joint after they used an image of a woman licking a cow's face to promote their premium beef. The Advertising Standards Board dismissed the complaint which described the Burger Urge image as loathsome, sick, wrong and perverted. But the Board ruled most people would realise the image had been photo shopped, and while it would be considered distasteful by most people, it was not overly sexualised or provocative.
The Board also found that while the slogan is open to many interpretations, the most likely is suggestive of eating a burger made from premium beef. Advertising Standards also received a complaint about media reports that Burger Urge delivered condoms to letterboxes across Brisbane, but that did not constitute a formal complaint. ''They hadn't actually received the advertising material themselves so we confine our cases to things that people have actually received or seen,'' Advertising Standards chief Fiona Jolly said.

Top 1-Married man fakes robbery to hide strip club visit-Not a good excuse

A MARRIED man spent $1000 at a strip club, but rather than tell his wife, he told police he was robbed at gunpoint. Jesus Mata Jr, 23, called co-workers to report that he had been robbed, rather than admit visiting the Whispers strip club, KRGV reported.He concocted a tale about how six gunmen in two trucks robbed him at gunpoint with assault weapons and stole his tax refund, The Denver Channel reported."We followed a wild goose chase and ended up with no one. We followed a couple of leads that led us nowhere," La Feria Police Chief Don Garcia said. "Our main priority was to take care of the citizens of La Feria." He said the investigation revealed inconsistencies in the story. Mata Jr was called back for a follow up interview and he eventually confessed that he fabricated the crime. "I started drinking some Bud Lights and I got a couple of lap dances. ... I was there until they closed at 2am," Mata's confession stated. Mata Jr was arrested and charged with filing a false report. Additional misdemeanor charges could be laid.
