Oprah Winfrey's search for a new star for her television network has become embroiled in a voting controversy, but the disabled contestant she is accused of slighting dismisses any suggestions of impropriety by the talk show host.
"This is Oprah -- she helps people for a living," top vote-getter Zach Anner, 25, told ABCNews.com. "To think people are saying she's rigged the voting against me doesn't compute for me. It's not what I believe."
OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, invited people to vote online to determine who deserved their own show. But Internet rumors have circulated that the network fixed the votes in favor of Anner's closest competitor, schoolteacher Phyllis Tucker-Wicks, because Anner, who has cerebral palsy, is disabled.
Thursday, the network confirmed to ABC that it had launched an investigation after several websites pointed out an unusual surge in votes for Tucker-Wicks.
In a statement to ABCNews.com, a spokeswoman for OWN said, "The online voting rules for the 'Your OWN Show' video submission competition were carefully crafted to be fair to everyone. Any allegations of impropriety will be investigated and the appropriate actions taken to keep the process unbiased

Big Butter Jesus

Big Butter Jesus

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

We are living in the end times my friend.

Last night just north of Cincinnati in Monroe, Ohio tragedy struck in the form of an Almighty lightning bolt.

With a flash of ecumenical electricity and the thunderous clap of God’s ginormous hands, the graven image or more accurately Styrofoam image of Big Butter Jesus, was turned to toast.
Fall to your knees and ask for forgiveness because our wicked ways have displeased the Lord so much, that he morphed the King of Kings statue outside The Solid Rock Church into a puddle of godly goo.

The metal frame is all that remains of this testament to the faith, love, and criminality of Pastors Lawrence and Darlene Bishop.

Pray for us all and pray that a newer, bigger, and animatronic Jesus is rebuilt soon. Yeah, an 80 foot tall animatronic Jeebus would be way cool….and pretty damn funny.

I take a moment to mourn our loss by playing Heywood Banks’, Big Butter Jesus. 

Big Butter Jesus statute on tv today. Big Butter Jesus’ real name is King of Kings. Big Butter Jesus is 62 feet tall. The Jesus statute is near Monroe, OH and cost a quarter million dollars to build in 2004. He’s located on the highway, I-75
Big Butter Jesus’ creators are Brad Coriel and James Lynch. Coriel designed Big Butter Jesus and Lynch sculpted him. Several songs have been inspired by Big Butter Jesus including “Big Butter Jesus” (Heywood Banks) and “Monroe OH” (Robbie Schaefer)

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.[1] Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1, � 110[2] is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the President's discretion to proclaim officially the observance."

The young man revealed that Stephany violated his privacy and added “I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life… she didn’t have any right.I went to her and I hit her. She was scared, we argued and she tried to escape. I grabbed her by the neck and hit her ” according to La Republica newspaper.

Maytag Dishwasher Recall

WASHINGTON — Whirlpool Corp.'s Maytag unit is recalling about 1.7 million dishwashers because of a fire hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Thursday, says the company, part of Whirlpool Corp., has received 12 reports of electrical failures in the dishwasher heating element that led to fires and damage.
One kitchen fire caused extensive damage, the agency said. No injuries have been reported.
The recall includes Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Magic Chef, Performa by Maytag and Crosley brand dishwashers with plastic tubs. The recalled dishwashers were made with black, bisque, white, silver and stainless steel front panels and sold at department and appliance stores nationwide from February 2006 through April 2010. They cost between $250 and $900.
CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it.
Consumers can schedule a free in-home repair or receive a rebate of $150 or $250 toward the purchase of select new Maytag dishwashers. The amount of the rebate depends on the type of model to be purchased.
A company spokeswoman says Whirlpool set aside $75 million to cover the costs of the recall.
More information on the numerous serial numbers involved in the recall can be found at the company's website or the website for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall is Maytag's second of more than a million major appliances in a little more than a year. It recalled 1.6 million refrigerators because of fire risks in March 2009.

Sack Tapping Dangrous For Teen Agers

 

Playing a game called ‘sack tapping’ proved so dangerous for a teen boy that it led him to undergo an emergency surgery, according to online media reports. ‘Sack tapping’ or “ball tapping,” as it is called, is the act of intentionally hitting or kicking a male in the genitals.

The game of “sack tapping” is sweeping through schools across the country. In the game, which has become a popular prank among school children, a boy will punch his opponent in the testicles to inflict discomfort or pain.
The impact of “sack tapping” can result not just in excruciating physical and emotional pain for the victim, but in emergency surgery with a lifelong negative effect.
The dangerous “Sack tapping” game
“Sack tapping” proved dangerous for the 14-year-old David Gibbons of Crosby, Minnesota, causing him more than just a few moments of excruciating pain.
The teenaged boy had to have his right testicle amputated after being punched in the groin by another student at Crosby Ironton High School.
According to New York Daily News, after being punched in the groin David’s pain was so intense that he woke up his mother at 1 a.m., who rushed him to the hospital, where he had his right testicle surgically removed.
The teenaged boy had to have his right testicle amputated after being punched in the groin by another student at Crosby Ironton High School.
Need to stop the practice
“One o’clock in the morning he woke me up and told me he was in excruciating pain,” NBC News quoted Christy Gibbons, David’s mom, as saying, adding that she immediately took him to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Brainerd, where he hademergency surgery to remove his one testicle.
“This may be called a game, but it’s not a game. It’s dangerous and it needs to stop,” said Christy.
She wants other parents to be educated about this dangerous practice, which has become increasingly common nowadays, especially among school children.
She added: “I’ve seen the pain he was in. I’ve seen what he went through every day, and it just breaks my heart and I don’t want any other child to have to go through this.”

David to live with just one testicle
Nonetheless, doctors have assured David that even though he now has just one testicle, he should still be able to father children in future, reports the Daily.
After the incidence, David’s parents have pulled him out of that high school and now plan to move to a different school district, according to the Daily report.
It’s also being reported by some tabloids that Gibbons are discussing with a police county on whether criminal charges can be filed against the boy responsible for their son’s injury.
David’s previous school is reportedly investigating the incident.
Surge in “sack tapping” cases
Meanwhile, Dr. Scott Wheeler, a pediatric urologist in Minnesota, has expressed his concern over the practice of “sack tapping,” saying the dangerous fad has gotten out of hand, according to ABC News.
“For some reason, is popular,” Wheeler says. “It’s not just bullies, it’s kids doing it to their friends. It’s rare that bullies target the testicles, they just beat up people.”
Wheeler said in recent years he’s seen an increasing number of young boys coming in with serious complications such as a ruptured testicle because of a “tap” that hit too hard.

He now performs “three to four surgeries a year” similar to that of David’s because of the complications it leads to.
