Topeka News — Fri, 18 May 2012 07:51:03 +0000

Fried Roach Found in Hashbrown at McDonalds, Not Loving It (Picture Evidence)

Topeka News — Fri, 18 May 2012 05:07:35 +0000

I am not loving it. The next story is not one to read if you’re getting ready for lunch.

A man the image above to popular sharing site Reddit.com, with claims that his nice, crispy McDonald’s hashbrown had some unwelcome protein in the mix. The deep fried roach found in the man’s Mcdonald’s hashbrown is obscenely huge. How could the cook even miss this?

The man, who goes by LinkBoyJt on Reddit, claims he told the manager about his sickening findings and the manager did not really care.

“I took the thing and showed it to the manager and she marked my receipt so I could get the same meal for free the next time I come in for breakfast. She didn’t really seem all that concerned,” stated LinkBoyJT on Reddit.com.

While it’s a fact that we do regularly consume insects in our food, finding such large creatures in our fast food meal is certainly pretty gross. McDonald’s officials have not issued any known comments on the issue at time of report.

Twitter Passwords Exposed, 55,000 Accounts Compromised

Thousands of Twitter user’s accounts may have been compromised over the past few weeks. Twitter recently announced user’s Twitter passwords exposed to a possible phishing scam. Twitter spokesman Robert Weeks spoke out on the matter: “We are currently looking into the situation. In the meantime, we have pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected. For those who are concerned that their account may have been compromised, we suggest resetting your passwords and more in our Help Center.”

55,000 users have been affected. Weeks said the situation may seem worse than it really is, though the people affected probably disagree and think its way worse than Weeks think it is.

Weeks also states: “It’s worth noting that, so far, we’ve discovered that the list of alleged accounts and passwords found on Pastebin consists of more than 20,000 duplicates, many spam accounts that have already been suspended, and many log-in credentials that do not appear to be linked.”

Twitter itself claims not to be compromised by the phishing attacks.

“We’ve looked into this and can confirm that Twitter was not compromised. For extra precaution, yesterday, we pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected.”

This news definitely won’t help your summer beach physique, but it will make your mouth happy. The Girl Scouts are now selling Girl Scout Candy Bars. All of the goodness that we have come to expect with Girl Scout Cookies is now being put into delicious candy bar form.

The Girl Scouts are teaming up with Nestle to add candy bars to their normal yellow, blue and green boxes of cookie lures. The flavors the Girl Scouts will sell include Thin Mint, Caramel Coconut and what everyone really wants, Peanut Butter Creme. Look out, Reeses.

The girl scouts managed to sell an impressive $800 million worth of cookies last year, so adding candy bars to their arsenal should get them over a $1 billion profits in sells measured in delicious and cute.

Nestle already figures this is going to be a success.

“When word of this irresistible combination of Nestlé Crunch and Girl Scout Cookie flavors leaked earlier this year, consumers started calling,” said Nestle spokesperson Tricia Bowles stated.

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow. Facebook will have ads that let you buy some of these candy bars from a limited supply. If you’re one of the lucky few, please eat and tell us your experience. Pictures are always a plus, if you can resist eating them all up before your friends/coworkers try to get a taste.

When the candy bars are nationally available, they will sell for $1 a bar and $4 a box.

Somehow you would really expect Michael Vick to show up with this headline. Chris Brown has started to sell puppies. This is the same Chris Brown who beat up the beautiful singer Rihanna, to only throw a temper tantrum in ABC studios when asked about the incident. All in all, Chris Brown is the ultimate example of a modern-day teflon celbrity. Who said kids of today haven’t learned history and a thing or two from guys like Ronald Reagan.

But we digress. Chris Brown is selling cute puppies.
