Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Um.... The only reason Lindsay Lohan is "tabloid queen" is because her mother pimped her out at the age of ONE. The poor girl has questionable talent. Her sister Ali has NONE. If anyone is to blame for this disaster they call the Lohan Family, it's DINA. Shame on you, Dina, for exploiting your children this way, just for your own gain. Good luck IN HELL and I hope your thirst is never quenched.

couldn't have said it any better Anonymous-the whole Lohan family is a trainwreck. Didn't an uncle of this family just get put in jail for misuse of 911 funds? I can't stand to see Dina Lohan-I attempted to watch her reality show-for about 5 minutes and that was all I could take of it-what garbage.

Apparently Lindsay Lohan is happy with her life right now. You don't see her drinking, doing drugs or the like. If she's found happiness with another woman, then so be it, let it be. As for her father, he can STFU for a change. If he even cared about his daughter to begin with, he would have taken much more care of her when she was young. Whatever he does is for his own greedy reasons and needs to mind his own business and butt out of the limelight, of which he has none. He's probably very jealous of his own daughter's success and happiness. No one really cares about what he thinks anyway.

Spot on Jen................ Erudite and to the point........ well done.
Now perhaps you can tell me if, in the NRA handbook, the Gun safety features are before or after the Shotgun Wedding chapters......

jenesis227, On what basis do you decree maximum tolerance for Lindsey Lohan trashing her father in public, while at the same time insisting that the father must not be allowed to express himself? I gather it's because you suppose she's a lesbian, and thus part of a group entitled to special privileges, while as a white male the dad has no rights at all. In your insular little messed up universe, that is.
If it turns out she's straight you'll no doubt cease to champion her, but you'll still despise men just for being men because that's the kind of prejudiced, judgmental, bigoted, intolerant, self-righteous and uptight witch you are.
But why am I trying to reason with a pea-brain like you? After all, there's no sense in casting pearls before swine.
Oh, and if you read this and choose to respond, let's see if you can do it without being a gutter-mouth. Betcha can't. STFU, indeed.

um excuse me mike crowley but jenisis227 is entitled to their opinion and it doesn't have to be the same as your opinion that why its CALLED AN OPINION!
normally i wouldn't get involved but your being very nasty and hypocritical and if it turns out that she is straight (WHICH IT PROBABLY WONT she will probably be BISEXUAL!!) then people will still support her.

She is not any better than her Dad. She is a media whore.
He and her mother pushed her in this famous life and then her and Mom kicked him to the curb after the big money came rolling in. He is probably trying to make some money because he is expected to be wealthy because he is Lindsays's dad. Who knows.
I think it sucks that men can be thrown out on the streets just because they aren't needed anymore.
