Thurs. Show Prep – Melanoma Head Edition

A New Jersey woman is being charged with child endangerment for taking her 6 year old daughter tanning. The kid showed up at school with a sunburn, and told the school nurse that she got it tanning with her mother. The mom… who looks like a purse… admits she is addicted to tanning, but says her daughter got the sunburn playing outside while she was inside tanning.

Facebook users now have the option to indicate whether or not they are organ donors and the state they are registered in. Facebook says this is a great way to save lives and to potentially eliminate organ transplant waiting lists, as many as 7,000 Americans die every year waiting for a transplant. States are ALREADY seeing a spike in interest on the first day. Is this the new frontier of organ donation or just creepy? (Also, I’m surprised that Facebook doesn’t already know if you’re an organ donor)

A high school student in Iowa took a life-sized cutout of quarterback/religious icon Tim Tebow to prom. It’s actually not as creepy as it sounds. She decided to join the flocks of people who invite celebrities to prom via Twitter. A friend bet her that she wouldn’t show up with Tebow, and when she didn’t get a response on Twitter she came up with the “plan B”

A lefty blog is hitting Mitt Romney for new video that shows him marveling at the home of the pizza magnate John Schnatter (Papa John’s) and saying “Everyone should live like this“. Really at best it’s just more video of Romney being a little awkward, but the full line is that Democrats look at a place like that and say “no one should live like this” while Republicans look at it and say “Everyone should live like this”

Heartache: Mitt Romney won’t be making an appearance on SNL this season. There are only three episodes left, and as you might guess Romney has a pretty full schedule. Lorne Michaels says they’ll try to work something out for the fall.

A California treasure hunter says that he knows exactly where Osama bin Laden’s body is. He’s trying to raise $200,000 to fund an expedition to go get it. The guy has found over 200 shipwrecks in his career, so he knows his stuff. After a year, I wonder how much is left. How do you feel about raising bin Laden?

  • Keith & Katie – 10/31/12 – Death, Taxes and Waffle House
    FEMA is again using the “Waffle House Index” to plan their disaster response in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. FEMA calls an area Waffle House, and if they are closed, then they know that that sector needs relief. If the Waffle House is open, you go down on the priority scale. This is actually a […]
  • Keith & Katie – 10/30/12 – Zombie Training
    An untold number of “zombies” are coming to a counterterrorism summit attended by hundreds of Marines, Navy special ops, soldiers, police, firefighters and others to prepare them for their worst nightmares. It’s no joke, they will act out a very possible scenario with a wounded VIP… it’s just that because it’s Halloween and all, the security personnel […]
  • Keith & Katie – 10/29/12 – Creepy Campaigning
    We’re really upping the creep-factor as the Presidential election heads into the home stretch. A new campaign ad features “future” kids singing about the post-apocalyptic waste land that the world “became” after Mitt Romney was elected, with the kids blaming their parents for voting for him. Which is creepier, “future children” singing about how awful their […]
