None of what you mention is evidence, you know. If I, or most people, get accused and arrested for something I didn't do, we quite likely get a bit defensive. And being interviewed on TV is more than enough to fuck up your train of thought if you're not an experienced interviewee. It's surprising how disruptive those lights and the pressure can be.

And once again, there are more ways to tan than in a booth. As a matter of fact, more people tan out in the sun than in a booth.

Being inarticulate when under pressure is not evidence of a crime. So far, no hint of any evidence has been made public in this case. There hasn't even been any hearsay reported. The daughter's statement of "going tanning with mommy" makes no mention of a tanning bed. I'm really rather surprised that so many people are so willing to believe the worst of this woman, with so little reason. Especially on a site that is usually more than a little rabid in their down-with-police stance. I guess that attitude only applies to young and/or attractive victims.

I'm sorry but it's obvious she is lying she changes her story like three times and is way way too defensive about it in the first place for someone who is innocent. First she starts to say "tanning is ok as long as.... I just like to tan.", then she says "it just didn't happen", then she says "well other parents bring their kids", then she says she got the sunburn outside. So what's the real story here lady? And why would the little girl tell her school she got the sunburn while tanning with her Mom if that's not what happened? Why would a 5 yr old lie about something like that? You think the kid was TRYING to get her Mom in trouble? No the more likely reason is that this woman who is obviously addicted to tanning decided her Fair skinned child was hideous and took matters into her own hands. Look in the mirror lady the only thing hideous around here is you and your behavior.

At least the comments here are a bit more reasonable...although a bit off track from what the actual news story is. Yes, she's damaged her appearance. Big deal....that's her choice.
What -I- find interesting is that nowhere, anywhere, have I seen the slightest shred of evidence that she actually did anything wrong. Her daughter said that she tans with Mommy. Mom, Dad, and the attendants at the tanning salon all agree that the girl never went in the tanning booth. Where's the grounds for an arrest? Because she had a sunburn? I'm pretty fucking sure there are ways to get sunburned that don't involve a tanning booth. I'm even almost sure that they might qualify as "going tanning with Mommy".

I was interested in this too. If this is the case the judge won't even let this go to trial because it's just stupid when you have NO evidence.

Those accelerated particle euthanization booths were cool.

She is strong and her first thought was to keep her son from being too afraid.
That's all very great stuff--but for shit's sake at least get under a table.

I think the main objective in surviving an earthquake is to get under as little as possible.


This is very true from what I have read. I recall hearing you should lie down beside a large object (in her case the booth chair would work) which will prop up any debris instead of lying under something that will simple collapse under falling debris. Not many tables can hold up a falling building.

Or you won't notice anything.>> ^lucky760:

Warning: Do not view this while under the influence of LSD. You will have a very bad trip.

Some interesting trivia in connection with a similar incident that happened in Jersey City in the winter of 1864/65 (MINUS the alcohol of course). President Abraham Lincoln's son (Robert) was boarding a train there when he fell down between the platform and the train. He was pulled to safety by a famous actor called Edwin Booth............. The brother of the man who later assassinated his father.

Good point. I agree.

However, it still cracks me up that Willard sat down at that booth thinking he had a slam dunk photo op and instead with met with diverse America.

That was actually kinda sad. Ever since Bachmann's pathetic argument against gay marriage I cannot get out of my head that, if these tools are going to cite the first Americans, they should remember that marriage was always - until very recently - between men and women of the same race. I just wish someone would pull that on them in an interview.

@shinyblurry Boy, I would LOVE to see you take high level Physics classes.

I'll be in the observation booth with the false glass that overlooks the lecture hall while watching your reaction as the professor is ripping you a new three-variable integrated volumetric "learning" space, for studious future note taking.

/Stay away from the Cosmology and Physics stuff, trust me. You look horrible. Most of the ideas are easily debatable by High School level Physics knowledge--I'm not kidding either.

What the fuck is with all the quick-cutting? It's ridonkulous.


It's the guys in the booth trying to put whoever's talking on the screen. The problem is they all talk at the same time and no one can speak uninterrupted for more than a tenth of a second.

The guy at the front of the marathon has the pace car watching him non-stop, along with at least 1 of the mobile tv cameras.

The cheater probably had to wait for the gap between the pace car with the 1st and 2nd place runners and the rest of the group.

I was accused to cheating in a race once when I was a kid. A parent saw me behind her son near the end of the race, only to see me ahead of her kid by 50 feet at the finish line. The only possible explanation is that I had taken a shortcut to pass her son. When my dad brought me and my identical twin to the judges booth, she walked away without apologizing.

What's the Parappa reference? Is it the thing that moves out of view from behind the dogs just as the soldiers enter?
>> ^Shepppard:
So, this video makes reference to:
CoD (or, generic WWII shooters), Twisted Metal, Parappa the Rappa, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy, Killzone, Uncharted, God of War, Portal, Infamous, Tekken, MLB/NFL generic games, Metal Gear, Modern Warfare 3, Dead Space, Bioshock, Hitman, Resistance and Assassins Creed.
Not sure if the bartender is supposed to be from somewhere, though.



Nope, that's the Mk.II or III, whichever is in MGS4, the parappa is on the wall behind the chick in the booth, it's just a crappy little drawing, but it's a dog in a red hat with a purple shirt.

Pause at 31 seconds, just before it switches back to the two soldiers, he's on the right side.
