Pizza Hut Fired a Guy For Fondling Himself at Work, After Someone Posted a Photo of it on Facebook

It’s hard to get away with the little joys in life now that everyone’s taking photos all the time.  This guy knows what I’m talking about.
A teenage girl and her friend were at the drive-thru of a Pizza Hut in Lexington, Kentucky last week, and saw the chubby guy behind the counter had his HAND jammed down his pants.
Apparently he was fondling his junk the whole time they sat there.  They even took PHOTOS of him doing it, and called the manager.  Then when they got home, the girl’s mom posted one of the photos on Pizza Hut’s Facebook page.
The way the mom described it, quote, “the guy there kept his hand down his pants playing with himself the whole time.”  But from the photo, it looks more like Al Bundy scratching his crotch.  Still . . . at Pizza Hut.
Then the photo went viral, the guy’s coworkers saw it, and the manager fired him before Pizza Hut’s main headquarters could respond. (Gawker / Facebook)
Puddle of Mudd Deleted Their Facebook Page After a Particularly Bad Show
If you go to a PUDDLE OF MUDD show at this point, you can’t be expecting greatness.  You’re just hoping WES SCANTLIN isn’t in jail, and the band actually shows up.
But apparently, they couldn’t even be average at a recent show in Ohio, because they were booed off the stage.  Word has it Wes was LIP-SYNCHING . . . and that was the last straw.
After the show, fans were tearing into the band on their Facebook page.  It got so nasty that they just DELETED their account.  Now, the link takes you to a Facebook page under the name “Check Out This Band Instead.”
It’s the work of an Austin rock band called Black Heart Saints, who are trying to get some attention out of this.
They don’t seem to have anything to do with Puddle of Mudd . . . so it’s unclear whether Puddle of Mudd gave them their account, or if they just jumped in and claimed it after it was abandoned.
Puddle of Mudd has not commented.
A Guy Killed a Chicken Every 15 Minutes . . . Until His Mother Called His Girlfriend’s Parents to Fix His Relationship?

I don’t have quite enough information to say this kid is a psychopath . . . but we’re DAMN close.
18-year-old Haden Smith of Elkmont, Alabama has been having a lot of trouble with his girlfriend.  And on Thursday he decided to handle it the way all mature grown-ups do.
He asked his MOTHER to call his girlfriend’s parents and work it out for him.
When she wouldn’t do it, he raised the stakes . . . and threatened to kill one of her CHICKENS every 15 minutes until she did.
She called his bluff . . . but that was a mistake.  He killed SIX chickens over the course of an hour-and-a-half before his mom made a call . . . to the cops.
He was arrested for domestic violence and criminal mischief.
There’s no word on how his relationship is doing. (CBS 19 – Huntsville / The News Courier)

A New Study Found Fireworks Are Terrible For Your Health
Can’t the government let us enjoy ANYTHING anymore?  They ruined smoking, they ruined football, they ruined carbs . . . and now they’re trying to ruin FIREWORKS.
A new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that fireworks are terrible for your health.
When one explodes, tiny particles 30 times thinner than a human hair are left in the air.  And if you ingest too many of them, there could be short and long-term effects . . . especially if you have lung problems.
You might cough, have shortness of breath, or have an asthma attack.  But they ultimately might lead to a heart attack, a stroke, or EARLY DEATH if you have heart or lung disease.
The number of firework particles in the air peaks from 9:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. on July 4th . . . but usually they’re all gone by noon the next day.  So if you have lung issues, the researchers say you might want to stay indoors on the night of the 4th. (USA Today)
