Production For “Django Unchained” Action Figures Discontinued

TMZ Reports;

The controversial “Django Unchained” action figures have officially been DISCONTINUED … after several African American groups called for a boycott of the dolls … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the toy production tell us … shortly after advocacy groups like Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope spoke out against the figurines … the Weinstein Company (which produced the film) reached out to the toy company and told them to put the kibosh on the toy line ASAP.

We’re told the toy company agreed, insisting they never intended to offend anyone … and halted production immediately.

Customer Fails To Leave A Tip – Blames President Obama Instead


After eating the meal, a customer handed this note to the server. The note was later posted on Reddit. A Reddit user called Blind_Name captures the sentiment of the average person reading this note, by commenting with:

The interesting thing about the tax increase is that they increase on the money that you make beyond 250k. So you make 251k a year, you pay more taxes on the 1k. So the people leaving these around are still rich assholes.

Yep. Couldn’t have said it any better.

Alligator Found Guarding $100,000 Worth of Marijuana

SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities in Northern California made a snappy discovery during a routine probation check: An alligator-like reptile named “Mr. Teeth,” who was apparently protecting a stash of marijuana.

When Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies entered the Castro Valley home on Tuesday, they not only found 34 pounds of marijuana valued at an estimated $100,000, but also the 5-foot-long caiman inside a Plexiglas tank guarding it in a bedroom.

Caimans are usually found in the wetland regions of Central and South America. They’re considered close relatives of alligators.

“We get guard dogs all the time when we search for grow houses and people stashing away all types of dope. But alligators? You just don’t see that every day,” Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Thursday.

Assif Mayar was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He could also face citations from the California Fish and Game Commission, including possession of an exotic animal without a permit.

The 32-year-old told deputies he got the creature to commemorate rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 death.

Man “Pretends” To Threaten Elementary School – Gets Arrested Instead

A father has been arrested on terror charges after threatening his child’s elementary school to test if they could deal with an armed intruder.

Ronald Miller, 44, was described as ‘aggressive and combative’ during the incident at Celina Elementary School, just outside Dallas.

He made his way inside the school’s main office and confronted staff after dropping off his child early on Wednesday morning.

According to CBSdfw, he pointed at members of staff and said ‘you’re dead’.

He then repeatedly asked panicked teachers what they would do if he had a gun and ‘a target inside the school’.

‘He asked questions such as what would you do if I had a gun and I had a target inside the school? Those questions would obviously be alarming,’  Patrol Sergeant Shea Scott of the Celina Police Department told myfoxdfw.com. ‘He was putting them on the spot and demanding quick responses.’

Miller was not armed and left the scene peacefully. He handed teachers a note telling the school district to call him if they were in need of security training.

They Can’t Even Give This Mitt Romney Sign Away

Looking for something to remember the second failed Mitt Romney presidential campaign? No? Well I don’t blame you, and you’re not alone. Apparently no one wants this sign from the campaign… although it’s being given away for FREE on Craigslist.

Dueling Petition – Another Petition To Keep Morgan In U.S Because The British Don’t Want Him Back

It seems no one wants Piers Morgan. A few days ago we told you about a petition on the White House’s website that asks for Piers Morgan‘s deportation because of his anti-guns advocacy. That petition, now with 81,000 signatures is well pass the 25,000 threshold required for an official response from the White House.

And now that’s more: Another petition has popped up asking the Obama administration to keep Piers Morgan in the United States, because, according to the petition, “No one in the UK wants him back.” This petition so far has only 5,254 signatures, short of the 25,000 needed for an official White House Response.

Other interesting petitions on the government website includes two petitions to revoke Westboro Baptiste Church‘s 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Status, the first petition getting over 43000 signatures and another petition getting over 58000 signatures.

There’s also a petition to impeach all politicians who signed the Grover Norquist Pledge “in violation to their oath the the government of the U.S” This petition has a little over 8500 signatures.

Is Ed Schultz Losing His MSNBC Job To Ezra Klein

Since the departure of Keith Olbermann from MSNBC some years back, Ed Schultz has unofficially picked up Keith’s banner and ran with it. He is now considered by some one of the most liberal host on the cable network. And with that label, Ed’s primetime television slot at 8PM weeknight receives a decent size audience. But according to reporting by The New York Times, Ed’s show may soon be history.

Brian Stelter, a Times Media reporter wrote a piece about the future of MSNBC and compared the liberal leaning network to Fox News – the more conservative network. And coming to the end of the piece, Brian wrote:

Several MSNBC employees, who spoke about programming plans on the condition of anonymity, said the most likely candidate for a new show was the Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein, a frequent substitute for Ms. Maddow. Mr. Klein may start with a weekend time slot, but these people said the 8 p.m. weekday time slot held by Mr. Schultz was also a possibility.

Mr. Griffin, meanwhile, declined to comment on whether the performance of his prime-time lineup would provide a boost to the channel’s subscriber fees.

Of course the denials would come. When asked about this claim by Mediaite,  a spokesperson for MSNBC released the following statement:

“We’re very happy with the performance of our primetime lineup, which topped Fox News Channel three nights this week. There are no changes planned.”

Mitt Romney’s Coveted Endorser Ted Nugent Explodes in CBS Interview

Ted Nugent is a man who has said some very outlandish things, most recently calling the President and members of his administration “criminals.” He was recently investigated by the CIA after making threatening remarks about the president’s possible re-election, where he said if the president gets elected for a second term, he [Nugent] will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.

The Republican nominee for president Mitt Romney, actively went after and got Ted’s endorsement. After Ted’s outburst against the President and his administration, the Romney campaign issued a weak statement basically saying that both sides should be mindful of what they say.

CBS received this interview with Nugent after his meeting with the Secret Service, and as I watch another unnecessary outburst from Nugent, I couldn’t help but wonder why Mitt Romney so desperately needed Ted’s endorsement.
