Airline Suspends Flight Attendants; Unruly Dickhead Gets Arrested
Frontier Airlines seems to be taking the driving parent approach- punish everyone for now and sort it out later, after a disruptive passenger got duct taped to his seat during a flight from Philly to Miami.
The 22 year old drunk passenger groped two female flight attendants, and verbally and physically fought with a male flight attendant while yelling about how rich his parents are. Maxwell Berry was subdued using duct tape.
Hey bro it’s frontier justice.

Btw, Sam Adams Summer Ale is $17 for a 12-pack, or $1.42 each, which is about 5% of what they are charging. Walk away folks. It’s the only way to stop price gouging.

Vikings Coach Baffled by Anti-Vaccination Players
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer says it’s tough to deal with players who refuse to get vaccinated. “I just don’t understand,” he said. “I just don’t understand. I think we could put this thing to bed if we all do this. But it is what it is.” He added “These guys, some of them just won’t do it, I shouldn’t say it, but – some of the things they read are just – woof – out there.”
If you’re saying they’re Dumb yeah. They were trained that way by people like you.

Spent the first half of the day with Philip Rivers who assures me that, while he's focused on coaching high school football now, he isn't closing the door on coming back for a stint late in the season if there's an NFL team that needs him.

Can Someone PLEASE Help Britney.....
She’s locked in her bathroom.
Ms Spears posted a lengthy Gram (that read more like a freshman writing essay than storytelling) about getting locked in a bathroom at 2am, and drinking old coffee, and thinking she just maybe could open that door with her mind.
Doesn’t she have a parent that could keep an eye on her?
NYT's Reporter Asks Khal Drogo If He Regrets Raping
Actually, the reporter asked the ACTOR, Jason Momoa if he has regrets about playing the role. His character of course, was a barbarian who has sex with another character against her will. Momoa said he found the question to be “icky”.
He told the reporter, “I was bummed when you asked me that. It just feels icky — putting it upon me to remove something [from the script]. As if an actor even had the choice to do that. We’re not really allowed to do anything.”
Just because it’s a stupid question doesn’t mean you have to give a stupid answer.
