DVD Red Boxes Skimming Credit Cards
Apr 8th
You know those $1 Movie Kiosks at the local grocery store? You can rent movies with the swipe of a credit card without having to deal with pimply-faced morons behind the counter. But the problem with unattended kiosks is that they are unattended. There are no employees and no security cameras either. Criminals know this too and have taken advantage of such kiosks to commit crimes in Arizona.
An example of a RedBox machine with an illegal credit card skimmer attached.
From Brian Krebs at the WaPo here:
the company discovered evidence that criminals had retrofitted at least three of the machines with devices to steal credit-card information.
The company said several RedBox machines had been fitted with “skimmers” — magnetic stripe reading and storage devices that can be installed over the top of existing card readers. RedBox said it found an illegal skimming device attached to one machine in Tempe, Ariz., and that it had discovered evidence of skimming at two other locations in Las Cruces, N.M.

Apr 7th
Leave it to the French to extinguish the Olympic flame. The protesters rightly think that china is a horrible country, and they overwhelmed the police barricades, causing the torchbearer to flee in panic and snuff the flame.
From SkyNews here:
The Olympic torch has had to be extinguished three times amid protests by anti-China demonstrators in Paris.
Thousands of police sent on to the streets to protect the torch relay as it made its way around the city could not prevent protesters disrupting the event. The torch had to be extinguished three times and re-lit twice amid safety fears caused by the demonstrations.
Next the torch goes to San Francisco. Where they have lots of crazy protesters. Whoever wrote up the torch-route for the International Olympic Committee in China is going to get a bullet to the brain. Little known Olympic Fact: Every time the torch gets snuffed, a Chinese politician gets executed.
I’m hoping the torch gets captured and sold on Ebay.

Apr 6th
Angel Dailey is sweet 16 and is going to jail for a long time, right along with her degenerate Dad and Uncle. Dad and the uncle are going to the big house for having a ton of pot and 3.2 million bucks in the walls of their home. Sweet little Angel Dailey? She filmed herself on a video camera forcing an 18-month old little girl to smoke marijuana and then pawned the camera. The pawn shop owners called the cops.
Towelie Approves.
From the Columbus Dispatch here:
Angel Dailey, 16, was arrested this week and charged with giving marijuana to a toddler. She pleaded not guilty to two delinquency counts of corrupting another with drugs and one charge of child endangerment.
Angel Dailey was holding the child, who turns 2 this month, while causing her to take marijuana and/or other drugs. Police are reviewing a videotape that shows Dailey giving the toddler the drugs with the help of an 18-year-old man. The videotape came from a Columbus area pawn shop that received the camcorder on pawn. Employees contacted police after they watched the video that was left in the device.
Dailey is the daughter of a Donald Dailey arrested in March during a drug raid at his home after federal investigators pulled out $3.2 million in cash from the walls of his home and carried out 2,100 pounds of marijuana from a trailer parked in the driveway.
The feds should take the home and the clothes of these idiots’ backs. Oh, and Angel’s MySpace page dedicated to smoking pot is here. You know pot makes you stupid when you are a millionaire from selling pot but still make a MySpace page with references to illegal drugs all over it.

Apr 6th
If you are a tiger trapped in a Chinese zoo. The worst part is one hour later, the tiger was hungry again.
From Reuters here:
A tiger devoured a mentally ill man who entered the animal’s zoo cage in northeast China.
Zhang Yachun disappeared from his home on March 24 and five days later police told his parents he had been eaten by a tiger in a nearby zoo. “Only two legs and his skull were left,” the report said.
Zhang’s grieving parents said their 37-year-old son suffered mental illness and “especially loved tigers”.
In February, a circus lion ripped a 10-year-old boy’s arm off after grabbing him through the bars of its cage.
Last year, 16 government officials were sacked after a boy was eaten alive at a crocodile enclosure in southern China. And a zoo tiger attacked a 6-year-old girl waiting to have her picture taken with the animal, biting her head and killing her.

Why? Usually the worshipers of Mo cut the heads off things because they are a sin against their barbaric culture. This time they just wanted to drink its blood because, you know, turtle blood is better than Viagra for giving Muslim men stiffies so they can bang their carpet-draped wives.

Apr 4th
The number of reported complaints went down just a fraction, but the fraud reported totaled an all-time high. But here are four of the top internet scams everyone needs to beware of, especially if you try to sell or buy something from online personals ads such as CraigsList.
Pet Scams
- You see an online (or offline) ad selling a pet and send in your money, plus a little extra for delivery costs. But you never get the pet; the scam artist simply takes your money and runs.
- You’re selling a pet. You’re sent a check that’s actually more than your asking price. When you ask about the overpayment, you’re told it’s meant for someone else who will be caring for the pet temporarily. You’re asked to deposit the check and wire the difference to this other person. But the check bounces and you lose the money you sent to what turns out to be a fraudster.
Secret Shoppers and Funds Transfer Scams
- You’ve been hired via the web to rate your experiences while shopping or dining. You’re paid by check and asked to wire a percentage of the money to a third party. Like the pet scam, the check is bad and you’re out the money you sent. As part of the scam, the fraudsters often use (illegally) real logos from legitimate companies.
- While renting out a property, you’re sent a check that is more than your rental fee and asked to wire the difference to someone else (are you seeing a trend here?). Or you take a job that requires you to receive money from a company and redistribute funds to affiliates via wire.
Adoption and Charity Frauds
- You get a spam e-mail that tugs on your heartstrings, asking for a pressing donation to a charity and often using the subject header, “Urgent Assistance is Needed.” The name of a real charity is generally used, but the money is really going to a con artist. One set of scams in 2007, for example, used the name of a legitimate British adoption agency to ask for money for orphaned or abandoned children.
Romance Fraud
- You encounter someone in an online dating or social networking site who lives far away or in another country. That person strikes up a relationship with you and then wants to meet, but needs money to cover travel expenses. Typically, that’s just the beginning—the person may end up in the hospital during the trip or get mugged and need more money, etc.
You can see last year’s report here.

Apr 4th
Watch out, paleface. Witch Doctors will cut you up and use your body parts for good luck. Just more proof that not all cultures are worth something.
From the IrishSun here:
President Kikwete has accused charlatan witch doctors of killing albinos in order to collect their body parts.
In Tanzania, local superstition leads people to believe albinos can bring luck and prosperity to those who come in contact with them.
President Kikwete says that 19 albinos have been murdered in the last year and that two others are still missing.
The country is home to roughly 300,000 people who suffer from the albino disorder, which prevents their bodies from producing pigmentation for their skin, hair and eyes.

Apr 3rd
I have a great idea for a film. I take six blind kids and make them tight-rope walk across a pit of boiling lava. Or make them fight bulls in a bullring or outrun them in Pamplona. Maybe cliff diving or base jumping would be fun too. Or how about the ultimate? Lock six blind kids in a big walk-in freezer, tie them to stairmasters, and force them to climb about the equivalent of 30,000 feet. And you can suck out the air pressure too just to make it a bit tougher.
If you can make a bunch of blind kids do that, think what a statement it would make to the world?
No, I’m not the insensitive jerk here. Its the makers of Blindsight who are the jerks. Its a movie in which 6 blind tibetan kids are forced up Mt. Everest in order to “make a statement” about something or other. So its just like the scenario I describe above except the kids are falling down on lots of jagged rocks and could fall to their deaths at any time. It sounds like the Tibetan version of Jackass the Movie without all the gay genital groping. Me? I’m getting two bags of popcorn for this one.

I call this piece I made below “Morgan Freeman’s Moles.” You can make your own abstract art online too at JacksonPollock.org!
You click the mouse to change colors and the space bar resets the canvas. I used a large screen and selected colors on one side and dragged them to the other to paint and moved the cursor back to the other side to get a new color. Its quite fun and a bit addictive. Thanks to PamCasso for the link!

Apr 2nd
Senator Debbie Stabenow, one of the women in charge of keeping Michigan a crappy place to live in the US, has a husband who thinks she’s such an ugly fat cow that he pays hookers for sex. And when the man isn’t out banging hookers, he fails as a liberal talk show Radio Network promoter.
From WXYZ.com here:
The husband of U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow told police he used the Internet to make a date with a prostitute and paid her $150 for sex at a hotel, according to a police report.
Thomas Athans, 46, co-founder of the liberal TalkUSA Radio network, was stopped by police who were investigating Internet-based prostitution at the hotel, according to a police report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press under the state Freedom of Information Act.
The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News first reported on the case in stories on their Web sites.
Stabenow, in a statement, said it was “very disturbing and serious. Obviously it’s a deeply difficult and personal matter.“
Ah liberals. Here they go again showing their values. You have a wife that refuses to take the name of her husband (how progressive!) and a man that cheats on his domineering sow of a wife. I wonder if Debbie is regretting her No vote on the impeachment of Clinton now? After all, eatin’ ain’t cheatin’, right Deb? And true to form like all liberal women, she will eat a giant shit sandwich in public and then not divorce her husband. Thanks to HotAir for the link.

Apr 2nd
Meet Art Price, Jr. He’s a married suburbanite with three kids. And on some days, he plays hooky from work and has sex with his deck furniture.
From Fox19 here:
Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.
The neighbor — who wishes to remain anonymous — saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex.
Price is married with three school-aged children. Neighbors tell us they’re now worried about the kids.
And this isn’t the first time Price has been in trouble for getting his jerk on in public. From the SanduskyRegister here:
Price has at least three previous arrests on charges of voyeurism in Tiffin and Bowling Green. The incidents occurred in 1987 and 1988 in Bowling Green and 1989 in Tiffin.
The ones in Bowling Green were (for) masturbating outside while looking into the windows of people’s houses.
In addition to those incidents, a six-page police report in Tiffin also portrays Price as a voyeur.
On July 4, 1989, a woman complained to police that her 14-year-old daughter was about to take a shower when she found dirt at the bottom of the tub, a Tiffin police report said. Her mother checked the tub and found what appeared be shavings in the tub, and then found a hole had been drilled through the bathroom wall from the utility room. The hole gave a clear view into the shower stall from the utility room.
Price, who was 21 at the time, was spotted by police bending over and stimulating himself while peeking through the hole, the report.

Apr 1st
Your kid won’t be in a 3rd-grade gang that tries to murder the teacher. It seems that eleven special snowflakes brought in steak knives, toy handcuffs and duct tape to school in a bizarre plot to murder the teacher. How bad of a teacher do you have to be to have one third of the class decide to take you out?
From Local6 here via Drudge:
Eleven 3rd grade students got together and plotted to kill their teacher, even going so far as to bring handcuffs and a knife to school, Waycross police said.
One of the teacher’s relatives said each child at Center Elementary School in Waycross had a job to do, including one assigned to wipe up the blood.
The plot unraveled over the weekend when a student tipped off police.
In addition to the knife being found, the school officials said other students had duct tape, toy handcuffs, ribbon and a heavy crystal paperweight.
The police chief in Waycross said that he believes the plan may have been developed because one of the students was punished with some sort of time out. However, that theory remains under investigation.
Some teachers laughably say that homeschooling is bad because the children need to be socialized. To me it seems that some schools are like a maximum security prison where students plot to shiv the guards. If that’s socialization, then no thank you.

Apr 1st
You have probably seen some official emails come from your company or company you do business with, using the domain of “donotreply.com” as their email address since the mailbox is unattended. Or maybe the people sending the email have no interest in getting any response. So what happens if you actually reply to one of those emails? It goes to this guy who actually owns the domain. So far he has seen thousands of scary emails detailing the internal workings of companies and even some national security groups like the TSA and DHS.
If your company has automated emails using any fake domain, the replies to those emails could be intercepted by the real domain owners. And sensitive information can be exposed. Stop it.
