Media Forces PETA To Respond To POTUS Fly Murder

PETA is normally more than happy to exploit events that can assist in their media whoring agenda, but in the case of President Obama’s fly-killing incident, it was news organizations that prodded them into action. The animal rights organization writes:

If your face lights up green, your guilty and police can then search you. The solution? Drink Red Bull. |BBC|

Red Bull ‘Shot’, Cause ‘Blast’ Probably Wasn’t Appropriate

International cocaine-laced energy drink dealer, Red Bull, which one Russian official called “evil,” has a new product it’s releasing this summer: Energy Shot! Like coke, it can “fit anywhere, from your pocket to your glove box, and can also cause anxiety or potentially, typewriter face. It’s basically concocted from all the ingredients in a regular Red Bull, minus the healthiest one: the water.

Artists Bless Abandoned Church With Exhibit

After years of disuse, an abandoned church in Spanish Harlem has opened its doors for a new art exhibit on religiosity and spirituality. Closed since its congregation dissolved in the 90s, St. John’s Episcopal American Catholic Church on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 102nd Street, is the setting for “Sacrosanct,” a group exhibition produced by curator Sophie T.
