F*ck, Marry, Kill: Rock. Paper. Scissors.

Editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff are very fond of the bar game ”Fuck, Marry, Kill,” in which they must choose one fate for each of three given subjects. It can be played with conventionally attractive people, literary figures or fictional characters. Today, they’re playing with… Rock, Paper and Scissors. You read that correctly.

Girl Scouts Leaders Are Stealing Cookie Money From Their Girls

When it was reported that Girls Scouts troop leader Ana Juarez was charged with stealing $6,000 worth of cookie money from her troop, the mother seemed to stand along in her deplorable crime. The shame of not only stealing from children, but also from her very own 6-year-old daughter who was also in the troop, would make any parent hope that this was an isolated incident.
