Responsibility of the Media.
I was reading some of the news over lunch and came across this headline:
Jared Fogle and Subway part ways amid child porn inquiry
My initial reaction was WTF? And had I just walked away having only read the headline I would have the impression good old Jared is a sicko!
Is it just me? Am I just misinterpreting the headline? Or does it not imply that Jared is a child pornagrapher?
The rest of the story goes on to explain that it's one of his employees under investigation.

Bravo BBC News :clap2:, your headline enticed me to read the rest of the story.
Media is getting worse and worse. Everything now is a about clickbaiting and trying to create frenzy to drive web traffic.
Because many outlets are condensing amongst shrinking ad revenue you see more junior and less qualified "journalists" out there with little to no integrity.
They don't seem afraid to border on slander for the sake of getting clicks.
Media always poses a sensational headline to paint someone a certain way just to grab attention of consumers. The more gaudy and unbelievable it is (or misleading) the better.
LOL, i have to stop reading the news at lunchtime....

MOSCOW -- Alarmed by the number of Russians who have been killed while taking photos of themselves with smartphones, Russian police have started a new campaign called "Safe Selfies."
The instructions issued Tuesday warn against standing on railroad tracks, climbing onto roofs or posing with a gun or a tiger.
more lunchtime reading for Don ...

Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches Are Now…. RACIST?
With so many sensitive “politically correct” problems now, we’re now living in a society where even FOOD can be deemed racist. I’m not kidding!
Principal Verenice Guiterrez, who certainly voted for Obama, runs the Harvey Scott School (K-8) in Portland, Oregon. And she has made an announcement that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist!
Why? Because, as Principal Guiterrez explained, this effort was made to, “improve education for students of color.” She noted that some students – such as those from Mexico or Somalia – haven’t eaten bread in their culture. Instead, they eat pitas, tortas, and other bread substitutes.
Therefore, the serving of delicious PB&Js is a brazen display of white privilege. The Principal wants to cancel out this supposed racial privilege and “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.”
How is this possible? Food can’t make racial comments… And a sandwich can’t even watch The Dukes of Hazzard. It is two slices of bread, with your favorite jelly and crunchy or creamy peanut butter. Most children think they are delicious, and I bet you probably still eat them.
They are nutritious, full of energy, and are cheap. That’s why millions of people eat PB&Js every day!
I wonder if I should rush to the store and buy whole grain wheat bread. Perhaps that would boost my kitchen’s racial diversity?
This has gone too far. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not racist and children should be allowed to eat them.
Do you enjoy PB&Js? Please leave us a comment and tell us what you think.
and to think they left out the part about peanuts now being considered a deadly weapon.
i see your "deadly weapon", and raise you a "fake rally to the cause"

Do random breaks happen in i-racing?Quote:
Majeski’s potential run to a World Series title was cut short when a trailing arm broke and he experienced a wreck that ended the week’s activities
^^^you'll just have to buy it to find out...
Ok so, no tune-up done on the Ranger, 4x4 4.0L with 3.73 gears, stepside truck with ext cab MPG?
First test I did 12L/100km, now I just tested as 13L/100km. I take the 401 in the morning for 50+km, and HWY 7 in the afternoon which takes anywhere from one hour to two hours on my way back home. AC on, heavy traffic. Light foot though. I'll know for sure once the scanguage comes in but I know I won't deviate that far from my measurements, can't go from 13 to 20 LOL.
I'm pretty happy so my goal "may" be doable. Electric fan, synthetic fluids everywhere, tune-up, and driving behavior changes I believe I can do better. Goal is around 9L/100km but I'm okay with 10 which is around 23MPG me thinks. Then lift and larger tires and I'm back to 13 or more lol.

Someone in my hood is spraying the illegal weed n feed. Smells like my childhood. lol.
^Nice. I've been getting some great stuff from a sod farmer. And talk about concentrated, one ounce to a gallon of water seems to be taking care of everything. I could probably have used a lot more water too, it came with no information.

Forgot how much I hate doing the belt on this car.....gonna need to invite a buddy over to slide the belt over while I'm maxing out the tensioner. Can't for the life of me get it seated on my own.
They can be an absolute bitch on some rides.
Odd how that played out.

oh you gotta be f*ing kidding me.
yeah, that is epic. funny and clever way to tell the City of TO powers that be that they suck.
I can see the "Meanwhile in Toronto" memes being generated now.
Plus making sure you don't get a finger caught when releasing the tensioner.
We had to do an alt on Retreads car on a hot muggy night (in the dark via flashlight) at Woodward. Not pleasant but wasn't up to seeing the grief he'd have endured taking it to a local non performance oriented shop.
Alt back on and all fingers intact. We did the shift the alt sideways, belt loosely on, while holding the tensioner, start the alt mounting bolts.
Bitch of a set up.
We miss you Bob (Retread)
Made me smile then choke up seeing this pic again.
