Thurs. Show Prep – Online Humiliation Edition

More and more parents are turning to social media to punish their kids. They aren’t taking away their Facebook, they are making them post about what they did wrong. We’ve had a number of stories about this lately, but the latest one burning up the internet is a woman who made her daughter post a message reading “Since I want to post photos of me holding liquor, I am obviously not ready for social media and will be taking a hiatus until I learn what I should & should not post! BYE BYE :( ” Is humiliation a good parenting method?

President Obama told ABC News on Wednesday that he supports gay marriage. So, Obama was pro-gay marriage in 1996. Anti-gay marriage in 2004. Pro-gay marriage in 2012. When Obama evolves, he evolves!

Shepard Smith had an interesting reaction to Obama’s gay marriage flip-flop. He said “The president of the United States, now in the 21st century.” Continuing his streak of non-Roger Ailes friendly on-air statements.

The Adler Planetarium, Field Museum and Art Institute have decided that they will close during the NATO summit after all. Makes sense, there won’t be much of a way to get there anyway. Is there anything you’ll actually be able to do during the NATO summit?

Scare in the Air: A man tried to sneak pieces of a gun onto an airplane hidden in his four year old son’s stuffed animals. Officials decided the man was not a threat and let him continue on his flight. He blamed a domestic dispute for the incident. Sounds like there’s an interesting story there.

Second Amendment Spotlight: An 84 year old man in Pennsylvania shot a would-be home intruder with his gun… from the Korean War.

Remember the dentist who yanked all of her ex-boyfriend’s teeth out after he dumped her for another woman? It turns out it was all a hoax.

  • 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.

  • 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 […]
