Wal-Mart is a truly amazing place where you can buy just about anything a human could possibly need at just about any hour of the day.

So overcome are some parents when they walk into America’s superstore that they seem to completely forget that they have entered these most hallowed aisles with child.
Straight from the new book “People of Walmart: Shop & Awe,” which is brought to you by the same folks who run the meme Web site People of Walmart, we present our favorite Wal-Mart parenting fails.

Philippian Runway Fashion Show Has All Tails Wagging!

Live from Manila is the Fashionista Pooch, a runway fashion show designed strictly for 4-legged models with a tail.

Held in Pasay City Metro Manila, the Fashionista Pooch is designed to promote awareness on responsible pet ownership—especially the importance of getting an annual anti-rabies vaccination. It’s hosted by the Philippine Canine Club and features PCCI Canine Ambassadors trained to provide free veterinary consultations for attendees.

Unfortunately, the actual fashion competition is open to only small dogs at least six-months old and no taller than 15” at the shoulders. More importantly, only dogs who’re current on their anti-rabies vaccinations can participate. The rest must remain in the sidelines and watch.

What’s interesting is that almost all the fashionista pooches were attired in traditional Phillipian garb. Well, all but the little pimp daddy pictured below!

I suppose there’s always an oddball in every family—including the canine family!

Prawn Cheese Spread

There are some strange foods and tastes in the world to be sure. Try this one out… Packaged like an industrial-sized tube of toothpaste, prawn cheese spread has made its way into the marketplace. Yes folks, we’re not joking. It’s made by Milko, apparently one of Sweden’s largest dairy companies. The spread contains cheese and prawns (tiny, pink bits of which are visible in the spread), along with shellfish stock, fish and prawn powders and butter. Check your local grocery for availability, but be warned, this does not seem to be a snack food for the finicky.

It’s the Law?! Weird Sex Laws

We’ve heard of some weird laws before, but some of these just take the cake. Here’s a list of some really bizarre U.S. Sex Laws. Although, since we are unable to 100% verify the accuracy of said laws, you may want to just double check your states law books if you are seriously interested in engaging in any of the following activities. ;) Enjoy!

– In Bakersfield, California, anyone having intercourse with Satan must use a condom.

– In Oblong, Illinois, it’s punishable by law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day.

– In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish.

– No man is allowed to make love to his wife with the smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath in Alexandria, Minnesota. If his wife so requests, law mandates that he must brush his teeth.

– Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn’t allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with you — or holding you in his arms.

– Bozeman, Montana, has a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown — if they’re nude.

– In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required to have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it’s illegal to make love on the floor between the beds!

– The owner of every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, is required to provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple, even if they are married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may they have sex unless they are wearing one of these clean, white cotton nightshirts.

– An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store’s walk-in meat freezer!

– A state law in Illinois mandates that all bachelors should be called master, not mister, when addressed by their female counterparts.

– In Romboch, Virginia, it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.

– In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because “the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male.”

– It’s safe to make love while parked in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Police officers aren’t allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any suspicious officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.

– A law in Helena, Montana, mandates that a woman can’t dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two ounces of clothing.

– Anywhere in the U.S., it’s illegal to use any live endangered species, excepting insects, in public or private sexual displays, shows or exhibits depicting cross-species sex.

– Lovers in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, should avoid satisfying their lustful urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally sounds while they are frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can face a jail term.

– In Carlsbad, New Mexico, it’s legal for couples to have sex in a parked vehicle during their lunch break from work, as long as the car or van has drawn curtains to stop strangers from peeking in.

– Women aren’t allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in Cleveland, Ohio – a man might see the reflection of something “he oughtn’t!”

– No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance within the boundaries of Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman can be charged with a sexual misdemeanor and “her name is to be published in the local newspaper.” The man isn’t charged nor is his name revealed.

– It is illegal for any member of the Nevada Legislature to conduct official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in session.

Tax Information for Parents of Kidnapped Children

Filed under: Taxes,Weird Stuff — Tags: , — Max @ 5:27 pm August 23, 2010

This is fucked up on so many levels:

Topic 357 – Tax Information for Parents of Kidnapped Children

You may claim a kidnapped child as your dependent if the following requirements are met:

1. The child must be presumed by law enforcement to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a member of your family or a member of the child’s family, and
2. The child had, for the taxable year in which the kidnapping occurred, the same principal place of abode as the taxpayer for more than one-half of the portion of such year before the date of kidnapping.

If both of these requirements are met, the child may meet the requirements for purposes of determining:

* The dependency exemption
* The child tax credit, and
* Head of household or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child filing status.

This tax treatment will cease to apply as of your first tax year beginning after the calendar year in which either there is a determination that the child is dead or the child would have reached age 18, whichever occurs first.

For more information, refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.
