Story of the Day



In the epic "There Will Be Blood", the main character uses a child as a marketing ploy whilst negotiating for oil.

The following story does not stray to far from this plot line, so we'll call it "There Will Be Idiots".

A woman in Suntree was charged with neglecting her 6 year old son after a tow truck driver told the police she offered to sell her child in exchange for gas money.

Is gas REALLY that expensive in Florida? Me thinks not.

I love this story for it's ridiculousness but I hate it because I feel sorry for the little boy who has a mental case for a mom.

Read more here and check out the video that accompanies the article.

FILF




I picked Jim Morrison to quick off our "Floridian I'd like to F" entries because he's a particularly sexy Floridian and I was REALLY into "The Doors" in junior high school---I even had a "The Doors" patch on my backpack. And I would listen to their music in my bedroom with my black light on and stare at my swirly black light poster--so sad!

Anyways, Jim was born in Melbourne, Florida and although he moved around a lot as a child, he moved back to Florida to attend St. Petersburg Junior College (what up Pinellas County!). He later transferred to FSU, where he was arrested for a college prank. Check out the not so sexy mugshot.

After making trouble in Tallahassee, Jim decided to move out to Los Angeles...and the rest is history.
