Curator forced to kill out-of-control bio-art exhibit

Honestly, that isn't even the most bizarre headline they could have gone with for this story.

[up] I mean...it's not a bad thing to be less rigid about gendered toys, especially since there's so little middle ground nowadays, but I'm not sure that's something that's really worth attention from the President...

[up][up] Stupid headline, the article says the White House also wants to encourage the reverse. I think it's not out of line for the President to want to stop gender stereotyping.

Paris court rules it’s OK to call a gay hairdresser a 'faggot'

Guy was fired and then the employer accidentally sent him a text message meant for someone else talking about how she didn't trust the gays because they're always up to something.

The tribunal ruled that because hairdressers are often gay, it doesn't count as discrimination. Somehow.

Marriage proposal ends in emergency rescue.

Well, at that rate, she won't have wait long for the "until death does you part" moment.

It won the poll, that doesn't mean it actually will be selected. According to Reddit, the runner up is the name of an 18 month old girl dying of cancer. Guess what's going to happen.

Air Force blames crash that killed 14 on goggles case.

Part of me wants to file this in the "dog ate my homework" pile, even though it probably did happen the way the article says it did. Either way, the end result is tragic stupidity.

CSU-Pueblo suspends student for rape despite claims from both it was consensual

Woman made the beast with two backs with her boyfriend and her friends assumed she had been raped based solely on the fact that she had a hickey. Despite being on record that it was consensual for both parties the guy was still suspended indefinitely. [tdown]
