Juan was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct and open lewdness.  He was arraigned in court today.

Rodriguez wasn’t protesting, he was just answering the challenge of British billionaire Alki David, who promised $1 million to the first person who streaked in front of the president to promote his website.

“That is absolutely right,” David, 42, told the Daily News Sunday night. “This is the first time anybody has attempted it. I still don’t know if he was successful. If he has done it, I’ll pay him in cash.”

In August, David issued his challenge on his website Battlecam.com, billed as an interactive reality TV channel and community.

Expect the worst...

After downing a full 23.5 oz Blue Raspberry Loko I was feeling quite typsy and energized.  Let’s just say that if you had a bad day, your day may get a little more interesting!

The drink contains 12% alcohol and tons of caffeine(Guarana & Taurine).

Rumor has it that several West Chester bars have banned the product.

After reading a few of the stories on the company’s Facebook fanpage I couldn’t help but laugh!

Who’s ready for a Four Loko party?!!!!!

Not the actual dog, but funny if it was...

Dog owners throughout the city were in rage for two reasons.  First the fact that the dog was lifted from a parked car, and second why the owners had left the dog in the car unattended.

On NBC Philadelphia’s Facebook Fanpage a local had posted why the owners were not charged with endangering the animal.

Shortly after the owners posted a $5,000 reward, a man name Daryl had turned the pooch in.  Although the report says that he rejected the reward the owners still may offer him something.

When Daryl was asked where he had located the animal, he stated that he was approached by someone on the street who was attempting to sell him the dog.   Daryl had recognized the dog from the news and convinced the individual to hand over the dog.

PHILADELPHIA, PA — On Tuesday, September 7th at 10am the Philadelphia Census Department reported a higher than normal number of rats living in the city and many resident complaints.  This raised concerned in several city districts, and was addressed today at City Hall by the Mayor resulting in the decision to move forward with the “Rat Tax”.  “If we can’t control them, let’s tax them!”

It all started when one center city resident complained that his roommate, who happened to be a rat, was not paying his rent on time and was breaking the guidelines addressed in his lease.  The rat roommate, Jay, had been sneaking in fellow rat friends(100′s at a time) in an attempt to raid the roommates food cabinets.  This troubled the resident, because he knew that in the rat market they take not only advantage of the system, but are involved in very sleazy operations in addition to the tax evasion.  He didn’t feel that they needed to devour his food as well.  The city welfare department took this and many other complaints of it’s kind in to consideration, forcing them to report such issues to the mayor’s office.

“The city of Philadelphia is under attack and the rats are to blame!  If we do not act upon our regular methods when we have problems then we will weaken our city programs.  We will run these rats out by taxing them!” – said the mayor.

The Rat Association’s President, JT was very startled by all of this mayhem.  “Regardless of how bad we smell and mooch from our neighbors, we still demand equality among the rat population!  We wouldn’t be a rat if we didn’t do ratty things, and I will not let the city nor citizens run down our communities or disrespect us fellow rats.  Do me a favor, don’t do me any favors” – said JT in a winded statement this afternoon.

This stirred concern in neighboring cities resulting in the attention of one of the more prominent rats in the New York City area, King Johnny.  They call him king rat, because he is known across the country as the rat not to be messed with.  “I will not let my rat population suffer from this tax and we will do whatever us rats need to do to stop this!”

In a written statement to Mayor Nutter, the Rat Equality Forum demanded a release of the tax or they would boycott American Cheese.  Also, noted on page 14 of the document they requested to release Bernie Madoff of all his charges.

The city has yet to respond to the Forum, and have promised that they will not release any public statements until they have examined all sides of the issue.

The rats have organized towards City Hall, and things may get extremely ugly if the city does not lift this tax.  Citizens are encouraged to stay inside, do not go into alleys alone, keep cheese handy and avoid any confrontation with the rats at this time.

PHILADELPHIA, PA [OnlyInPhiladelphia.com] – Hasn’t Disney World always been known as the “happiest place on earth?”

Well, not according to one Philadelphia woman who claims that an actor in a Donald Duck costume touched her inappropriately while visiting Epcot Center in Walt Disney World back in May 2008. The case, originally a civil suit filed in December 2009, has now been moved to federal court.

April Magolon, 27, of Upper Darby approached the Donald Duck character to get an autograph and pose for a picture. According to the suit, she claims that at this point, “Donald Duck proceeded to grab [Magolon's] breasts and molest her and then made gestures making a joke indicating he had done something wrong.”

She is demanding $50,000 in damages due to “severe physical injury, emotional anguish and distress” resulting in anxiety, nausea, headaches, insomnia, flashbacks, and nightmares.

Interesting enough – since 2004, there have actually been 24 similar cases of sexually inappropriate behavior by costumed characters.

The moral of the story: beware of your favorite Disney characters; you don’t know who is really underneath that furry outfit

Ron Artest

Well we gotta report on Ron Artest.  He had the most hilarious interview EVER after the win.  He is quoted by thanking, “everybody in my hood, all my lawyers, my wife, my kids, everybody, my doctor Sandy, my psychiatrist, who really helped me relax a lot, and told me I would make a three-pointer” and he even thanked ESPN reporter Doris Burke and hugged her.  Not one mention for the coach or the rest of the team.

The reporter had no choice but to cut this complete non-sense of a interview off, but we had phoned Ron directly after to get anyone he had missed.  (Unofficially, LOL)

1. Elton John, your songs really got me through the tough times.

2. The fan I beat up back in 2006 when I played with the Sacramento Kings, sorry my dude!

3. Waldo, from the book “where’s waldo”, although I could never find that mofo!

4. My kindergarten teacher who taught me how to share.

5. Last but not least, KFC for always bringing home the chicken!

Let’s just hope the 76ers have a better season next year!  NBA Champions 2011!

Video from the interview:

The latest incident comes shortly after two nationally publicized confrontations, where one fan vomited on six people, while another fan had to be tasered by Philadelphia police on camera. After a couple seasons marred by fights in the stands, laser pointers pointed at players, trying to turn tricks for World Series tickets, vomiting fans and the infamous taser incident, this comes as another blow to the City of Brotherly Love and its infamous fans.

That video quickly made its way around the Internet, but was promptly taken down from sites like YouTube for violating copyright. Once the story hit airwaves, it set off another round of Philadelphia bashing.  According to the Huffington Post, “Phillies fans are an illustrious bunch. In the past year, they have vomited, prostituted and been tasered. Now it appears that childhood drinking can be added to the list.”

Child services is now trying to identify the child or the adults near him.
