Man Stabs Dog for Barking

February 6th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Ok, this is a totally lame story. Apparently, Joshua McFarlane got fed up over his neighbor’s dog barking, so he waited with a butcher knife until the dog stuck his nose through a gap in the fence, and stabbed it in the face. The dog required stitches to close the wound and stop the bleeding.
Mr. […]

Flix Club Owner Busted…

January 25th, 2008 · 5 Comments

We all know that edited movie clubs are all the rage here in Utah. So I find it rather ironic (and hilarious) that the owner of one such franchise (Flix Club Videos) was arrested for sex crimes (KSL broke the story).
Daniel Thompson made a name for himself and Flix Club by editing sexually […]

Utah: Weakest Animal Protection Laws

November 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Utah was ranked by the Animal Legal Defense Fund as having the weakest animal abuse laws in the entire country. (Right at the bottom with Utah was Alaska, Arkansas, Kentucky, and North Dakota.)

Super Dell a Super Idiot?

September 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Dell Schanze, owner of the now defunct Totally Awesome Computers, is once again in the news.
Dell is someone that constantly craves attention, and pulls off stunts, perhaps to keep his name in the news when he feels he doesn’t get enough attention. This time, he buzzed a dinner cruise ship that was cruising around the […]

For the past week, a local BYU student, Camille Cleverly, has been missing. Her bicycle was discovered today - a couple had cut the lock and stolen it last week, but then realized it was probably Camille’s bike, and turned it into police.
