How sweet…

When a Coney Island lifeguard spied a shark near an upset group of swimmers, he did what he thought was right: He rescued the fish.

Marisu Mironescu, 39, said he was prompted to action Monday after seeing about 75 to 100 people circling the 2-foot sand shark off the beach and “bugging out.”

“They were holding onto it and some people were actually hitting him, smacking his face,” said Mironescu. “Well, I wasn’t going to let them hurt the poor thing.”

He grabbed the largely harmless shark in his arms and carried it, backstroking out to sea, where he let it go. “He was making believe like he’s dead, then he wriggled his whole body and tried to bite me,” Mironescu said.

“We had a little bit of a punctuation mark at the end of summer with ‘Jaws’ junior showing up and frightening people,” said Adrian Benepe, the city Parks Commissioner.

Once you’ve had cat you dont go back. Awwww yeah baby. Enough with the eating of cats and dogs already, dont you people have enough chickens, cows, pigs..etc??? If they are so hungry, maybe the people of Guangdong province should start eating truck drivers instead.

The power of the Internet has saved more than 800 cats from being skinned and served up on Chinese dinner tables.

About 30 animal lovers rushed to a parking lot in Shanghai after reading an Internet posting sparked by animal rights activist Huo Puyang that said two trucks carrying cats in wooden boxes had been intercepted, Huo said on Monday.

Huo’s daughter-in-law had been looking for their missing pets and stumbled into the trucks, one of which sped away. The daughter-in-law called Huo, whose animal-loving friends then sent out an Internet alert last Friday.

The felines were on their way to the booming southern province of Guangdong, where some residents pride themselves as gourmets who will eat anything that flies, crawls or swims.

“It was a cruel sight … Pregnant cats and kittens were packed into the boxes,” Huo told Reuters.

“Many cats had died and smelled,” she said. “Some were trampled to death. Others bit each other.”

Huo also telephoned police, who took the driver and the truck to a police station.

Police said Huo had lacked evidence to prove the 42 boxes held stolen pets and told the animal lovers to buy the cats.

The driver demanded 14 yuan (91 pence) each.

After hours of haggling, the animal lovers paid more than 10,000 yuan for 840 cats.

“We have a difficult task. The cost of feeding them pales compared to medical fees, vaccines and sterilisation,” Huo said.

The Rev Al Sharpton announced today that he would begin campaigning for linux adoption and for more hardware companies to provide linux device driver support as a way of ending the “digital divide” in America.

“Corporate America has to learn that it needs to support everyone in America, and not just those who can afford to spend $400 on Microsoft Office. By supporting free software, we can keep hope alive in America”, said the minister speaking outside his home in Harlem, NY.

Wait a minute? What the phuck? God help me but I agree with Sharpton on this and I hate the guy. What the kid did isn’t even illegal anymore. There was massive douchebaggery involved since he videotaped it but a brother doesn’t deserve a ten year stretch.

They should have used the “at least he didn’t pee on her” defense.

The Rev. Al Sharpton embraced the mother and sister of a man serving a 10-year sentence for consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old, joining hundreds of supporters Thursday demanding his immediate release from prison.

Genarlow Wilson has been in prison for two years for taking part in the sex act when he was 17 years old.

“This boy is not only her son, he’s your son, he’s my son,” Sharpton told the cheering crowd from the steps of the Douglas County Courthouse. “We’re here today because what affects you affects all of us.”

State Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan said Wilson’s punishment was excessive and should be reduced, just like the prison sentence for former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, which was commuted Monday by President Bush.

“Genarlow is the face of many other young black men who have received injustice,” Thomas Morgan said. “Somebody’s got to stand up for them.”

The crowd held signs that read “Free Genarlow” and “Justice Now.” The issues of race and class came up in many speeches.

“If he had a different complexion and a different connection, we wouldn’t be here,” Sharpton said.

Wilson, now 21, is serving a 10-year mandatory sentence for aggravated child molestation stemming from a 2003 New Year’s Eve Party where he was captured on videotape receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl. The law has since been changed by Georgia lawmakers, but the state’s top court said the new law could not be applied retroactively.

Wilson was also charged in 2003 with raping a 17-year-old girl at the party, but a jury acquitted him of the charges.

Good going Grandad!

After a quiet dinner with his grandfather Wednesday, Donicio Arrindell and his best friend headed out for the night.

Three hours later, he was dead and his friend Fredrick Gadson was critically wounded.

The duo — lifelong friends and roommates — are accused of storming into a Plantation Subway shop, armed and announcing a robbery.

They didn’t plan to encounter retired Marine John Lovell, 71, who had just finished a veggie sandwich and had a gun tucked in his waistband.

Hand tossed will cost you an extra $50. Can I order one with no topping? Excuse me, there’s a curly hair in my calzone.

In a city that seems to have everything, it’s amazing what we’ll still be surprised to find. Take for example what CBS 2 HD recently uncovered going on in the back of a pizzeria.

Let’s just say it’s hotter than the pizza served up front.

On the outside, Cordatos looks like your ordinary pizzeria, but inside customers are offered something way too hot and spicy to be found on the menu.

Lap dances. Yes, you read that correctly.

A walk through the restaurant past the pizza ovens, leads to a heavy soundproof door, where inside the back room $10 buys you a few moments of lap dancing by barely dressed exotic dancers, a dance too graphic for most newscasts.

“When you are in the Big Apple anything and everything goes,” one patron said.

The anything and everything on this menu includes extremely close body-to-body contact during the lap dance. Judging from the crowds CBS 2 HD saw during our hidden camera investigation, it’s a popular pit stop just blocks from ground zero, where construction workers and Wall Street traders find a slice of pleasure in the least likely of places.

“The guys go at lunch time,” one man said. “It’s not a bad thing either, relieves a little pressure.”

Typical of the police. Even when everything goes right, they still are afraid of law-abiding citizens using firearms to defend themselves.

Way to go kid. Should have shot him a couple more times just to be sure though. As is I hope the assbag will think twice about carjacking again. Once again props =), if it happens again aim for his knee caps!

A man with a gun was trying to force a woman out of her car at a fast-food drive-through when the woman’s 17-year-old son wrestled the gun away from him and shot him.

Carl Chestnut, 44, of Kenner, is expected to survive wounds to his head and body, and will face armed robbery charges once he is released from East Jefferson General Hospital, Col. John Fortunato, a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said Monday.

It would have been safer to hand over the keys and let the gunman drive off, Sheriff Harry Lee said Monday.

Fortunato said the 53-year-old woman was in line at an Arby’s Roast Beef Restaurant about 1:30 a.m. Monday when Chestnut walked up and pointed a gun at her, demanding their money and the car.

When he leaned inside, aiming the gun with one hand and trying to yank her out with the other, the 17-year-old grabbed the gun, Fortunato said. He said it went off once as they strugged, but did not hit anyone. Once the youth got the gun, he shot Chestnut several times, Fortunato said.

Ooh, slippery slope. If it’s rape to get in someone’s pants by representing yourself as someone you’re not, how long before the bar scene dies entirely?

Seriously though if she is telling the truth something is really wrong here. It might not be rape, but its not right. She might have been half asleep through it as many women are for sex. They just put out so they can get back to sleep.

A woman who had sex with her boyfriend’s brother in her darkened room late one night claimed she was raped, saying the man tricked her into the act by impersonating her boyfriend. But….

Wow. That means you can drug up any one you want and fuck them silly. As long as you don’t use force to drug them, you’re all good.

Man, I’m gettin laid tonight. I hope I don’t wake up with a hangover this time, though.

All that money to fight viruses… the other kind.

The battle against three diseases that are a scourge of sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions – HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria – was given an enormous boost Wednesday with a half-billion dollar gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.The wealthy couple, leaders in the field of global public health, donated $500-million over five years to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

“The Global Fund is one of the most important health initiatives in the world today,” Bill Gates said in a statement announcing the gift. “The Fund has an excellent track record, and we need to do everything we can to support its continued success, which will save millions of lives.”
