The Hood Life: College Students OD On Four Loko

Posted: 26 Oct 2010 05:29 AM PDT

Four Loko energy alcohol beer malt liquor

This is what happens when your parents send you to learn something, and you decide to do hoodrat stuff with your friends instead.

A couple of weeks ago, an off-campus party close to Central Washington University made headlines when a bunch of kids who “drank out of the red cups” all got sick. Authorities thought they were drugged or poisoned. And now they know the truth.

Nine Central Washington University students hospitalized this month after an off-campus party were sickened by “Four Loko,” a caffeinated malt liquor also known as “blackout in a can,” according to a police investigation.

Investigators concluded that none of the students were drugged or given alcohol without their knowledge and no sexual assaults occurred, according to a school statement.

Police found the underage students passed out and “very intoxicated” at a party attended by about 50 students in Roslyn, Washington, on October 9, the police report said.

Each students consumed “Four Loko,” while some mixed the canned drinks with other alcohol, including vodka, the report said.

Just to make sure no one is inspired to repeat this act of stupidity, the school’s president is banning “alcohol energy drinks” from the campus.

“We need to make sure that we’re sending a strong message to students about the dangers of alcohol energy drinks and we need to know more about the way it affects health and behavior,” Gaudino said.

The drinks are “a binge-drinkers dream because the caffeine and other stimulants allow a drinker to ingest larger volumes of alcohol without passing out,” the chairman of the school’s physical education department said.

“Being able to feel the effects of tiredness, loss of coordination and even passing out or vomiting are the body’s defenses against consuming doses of alcohol that will kill you,” professor Ken Briggs said.

“Regardless, once the blood alcohol level reaches a certain level, you can drop like a box of rocks.”

The Washington State Attorney General wants to take things one step further and ban Four Loko all together. Meanwhile the manufacturer of the drink which comes in cans that pretty much like any energy drink, says they go out of their way to make sure their product doesn’t end up in the hands of kids.

We call BS.

Joan Rivers’s Dried Up Sense Of Humor Is Only Racist Overseas

Posted: 26 Oct 2010 05:05 AM PDT

Joan Rivers Piece of Work

In her constant battle to stay relevant, Joan Rivers almost learned that some of the sh*t she says doesn’t need to be said. At least not where African-Americans can hear her.

In a recent interview promoting her documentary “Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work,” which debuts in England next month, Rivers proudly told the interviewer about one of the rare occasions when she’s censored her bitter old b*tch “comedy” routine.

She recently, for example, decided at the last minute to kill a joke about Michelle Obama’s dress sense, which she was going to use on her E! show. The reason? It might be considered racist. “I was going to compare her to Jackie O, but call her Blackie O,” she says. Normally, though, she has a sort of compulsion to be gratuitously offensive.

Being the class act that she is, Rivers followed that up with a gang of racial slurs, which we’re sure she thought was okay to say – in an international interview – because she was quoting someone else.

While we’re on the subject of race, Joan usually subscribes to one golden rule: “Only blacks can say nigger”. But other comedians she admires haven’t always been so careful. “Lenny Bruce, I saw him when I was 16 and he went round the room saying, ‘You’re a nigger, you’re a kike, you’re a wop, you’re a chink. Everybody’s something, so who cares’. And it just levelled the playing field, so in a way, he was right.”

We don’t know what’s worse: the fact that she said all of this like it was all good, and no, she doesn’t get a pass from being damn near 100; or the fact that the journalist who wrote the article thought this sh*t was cute and simply told readers in his intro to “read no further” if they are “easily shocked or liable to take offence on behalf of famous people or ethnic minorities.”

What Were You Thinking?? Man Reports Bad Smoke To 911

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 02:20 PM PDT

Marijuana counterfeit controlled substance

Sir? No more weed for you. At all. Ever.

A southwestern Pennsylvania man called 911 to complain about some terrible marijuana he had just purchased, which turned out to be something other than pot.

Police say the man told officers he bought the substance earlier that day and that “it was nasty” when he smoked it.

Uniontown Detective Donald Gmitter says a field test determined the substance wasn’t pot at all, but police didn’t say what it was.

Even though the 21-year-old man didn’t technically buy marijuana, he isn’t off the hook.

Sgt. Wayne Brown tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Wednesday’s incident remains under investigation, and the man could face a charge of possessing a counterfeit controlled substance.

He was probably high when he made that call. Who, outside of a “Friday” plot, goes to jail for having pretend drugs? LOL
