 A MASSIVE CRACK THE SIZE OF SEVEN FOOTBALL FIELDS OPENS IN WYOMING

WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ – including sausages and bacon:

The food war is about to get mean..

A WHO report is going to label certain processed meats to be as bad as smoking..

The food industry is fighting back early.

While industry groups are preparing for a damaging blow to consumer confidence as a result, The North American Meat Institute (Nami) has accused the IARC of “dramatic and alarmist over-reach,” CNBC reported.

Nami president Barry Carpenter said: “Red and processed meats are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’.

“Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by IARC not to cause cancer,” he claimed.

Yoga pants.

Meat.

And the food industry:

It’s about to get mean.

No better time than Halloween week to visit the ‘island of misfit dolls’ 

It’s a real place in Mexico that lots of people every year seek out. I would imagine being there during the creepy week we’re in would be among the best times to acquaint yourselves with the statues of strangeness..

The story of the island:

A half century ago, a little girl drowned off a small island hidden deep among the canals of Xochimico. The island’s only permanent inhabitant was a hermit named Don Julián Santana Barrera, who despite having a wife and family, chose to live alone on the island. Soon after the girl’s death Barrera fished out one doll after another from the canals. Convinced that this was a sign from the evil spirit, Don Julian Santana began hanging them on trees to protect himself from evil and calm the spirit of the dead girl. Soon Don Julián had made the entire island into a shrine.

Santana did not clean up the dolls or attempt to fix them, but rather put them up with missing eyes and limbs, covered in dirt. Even when dolls arrived in good shape, the wind and weather naturally decomposed them over time creating a gallery of eerie and ghoulish faces. Don Julian Santana lived on the island for 50 years before his death in 2001. He was found drowned in the same area in which he believed the little girl had died.

And the creation still exists.

Sun-damaged and all.. Creepy dolls across the land.

DATELINE STILLWATER OKLAHOMA: A tragic day as a parade ends with a fatal crash..

# # #

As the Associated Press dispatch reports: 

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Lawn chairs, blankets and water bottles were strewn in the street and bodies remained at the scene as Oklahoma State University fans walked past an intersection where a woman had plowed her car into a homecoming parade crowd hours earlier and killed four people.

Some lingered Saturday to look at the aftermath that also included a gray car with a smashed side and shattered windshield, and a crumpled motorcycle. Dozens more were injured in the collision that sent some spectators flying through the air.

The driver is suspected of being under the influence, and investigators were awaiting results of blood tests to determine if she was impaired by drugs or alcohol.

And this: 

Three adults died at the scene and a 2-year-old boy died later, Stillwater police Capt. Kyle Gibbs said. He said 44 people were injured.

Adacia Chambers, a 25-year-old Stillwater resident, was arrested on the DUI charge after the morning crash

Not to take anything away from the victims of this tragedy, but I remember one that was narrowly averted when I was a younger child.. Around the age of 8 or 9, I remember being at the Ashland PA ‘ABA parade’ on a cool September night, standing at the top of town in rows of people near the May’s Restaurant. I have a vivid memory of a car going too fast in the parade–it was actually one of the cars IN the parade.. the car was coming straight for the crowd that I was standing in but made a sharp turn to the right at the last minute.. It was later found out that the man driving the car had a heart attack and someone who was a passenger took over at exactly the right moment. So right that if it did not occur, I may not have been typing this blog post right now..

I can only imagine the suffering that these families are going through–especially when a 2-year-old passes away from the moronic choice a drunk driver made by getting into a car and plowing into a crowd of people. It’s disgusting..

May the collective consciousnesses of all who are thinking or praying for them shine on them.

Two points to make. First, yes, I follow ‘Mila Kunis’ news on Google News.

And secondly, the media needs to lay off this whole story of her burying a body.

Here is how the fine folks at ‘PEOPLE’ are reporting her potential crime:

“I think if she killed someone, I would literally be like, ‘I got it, where do you want me to help you bury the body?’ ” the actress says. “I wouldn’t even question it, and I can’t say that about anybody else in my life.”

And there you get the headline.. reported over and over again by entertainment rags that proclaim journalistic integrity. 

That is my problem with these types of publications. It would go without saying..

Lay off Kunis. 

She’s a mom and the voice of Meg.

And I don’t think she deserves headlines in NEW YORK MAGAZINE proclaiming: 

Mila Kunis Would Defend Her Murderous Baby
