I'm personally not a user. The most I've done is alcohol and very rarely tobacco, and absinthe (which has done nothing for me). I have WAY too many friends who do all sorts of things. I think more than half of the people I know smoke (or have tried) marijuana.

I would rather no one did them, but that's impossible. In the long run, so long as people do it responsibly (not driving while influenced, not harming others, etc), they should be allowed to do what they want with their bodies.

Well, there was a Jetsons Meet the Flintstones cartoon from more than a decade ago. Happened around the time they decided to make a Tom and Jerry animated movie where the characters spoke. I REALLY didn't expect them to sound the way they did.

But yeah, a Yogi movie's pretty tragic, especially with Justin Timberlake involved. It sort of takes the punch out of a joke I heard a few months ago that I thought was hilarious: "So they're remaking 'The Dark Crystal' and Justin Timberlake's gonna be in it. Yep, he's bringing skeksi back."

After he finally said we could leave after my friend and I argued with him (the asshole cop never go out of his car, he just yelled at us through the rolled-down passenger window), he started following us up the hill and toward the main street.

I had nightmares that he was going to run our plates and get our address so he could have the car towed off the driveway.

Seriously, though, get your car out of impound is like $500. KFI has been ranting about LAPD trolling around parking lots to give tickets for minor infractions.

Had the cop actually gotten out of his car, and gone down to the beach he would have found over 50 people at the fire pits, a couple having sex on the lifeguard tower and some people starting a fire by the tidepools, and the beach was closed.

Now this isn't a rant about why I shouldn't have gotten a ticket. It's true, we were there past the time it was allowed and were rightfully written up. I'm just seething about him trying to block the car.

Woman Faked Cancer, Bilked Supporters for Thousands of Dollars



She shaved her head, plucked her eyebrows, starved herself to look like a cancer patient and tattooed "Won't Quit" on her hands. Then she founded a bogus cancer research charity and collected thousands of dollars in contributions.

Ashley Anne Kirilow, a 23-year-old Canadian, may have continued to scam people had her father not discovered her lies. "When I found out that she was taking people's money and it wasn't going to the University of Alberta as she had specified, it made me sick to my stomach," her father, Mike Kirilow, told "Good Morning America." When his daughter refused to come clean, he and a group of duped volunteers filed a police report.

In 2008, after Kirilow had a benign lump removed from her breast, she began telling people she had breast cancer. Her lies evolved: She said, alternately, that she had brain, liver, stomach and ovarian cancer and that she was dying. Over the course of a year, she called her divorced parents, both of whom she has had little contact with, to ask for money for chemotherapy treatments, which are covered under the Canadian system. Suspicious, her father and stepmother called the hospitals Kirilow said she'd been treated at, but not one had any record of her. Her biological mother, a former school bus driver, told the The Toronto Star, "The only thing she ever wanted from me was money, and I couldn't ever give it to her."

Meanwhile, Kirilow gave her friends two conflicting stories about her parents: In one, they were dead; in the other, they were drug addicts. She was alone and dying of cancer. She had no money.

"Obviously I wanted to do what I could to help her," 22-year-old Adam Catley told The Star.

He found her a free place to live and organized a musical benefit for her in September 2009. Guests paid a $20 cover charge, Catley's father donated the night's profits and his bar for the performance, Labatt Brewing Company donated beer and staff members handed over their tips. Kirilow walked away with $9,000.

Soon thereafter, Kirilow founded the bogus Change for the Cure, which asked people to donate pocket change toward cancer research at the University of Alberta. At local concerts, Kirilow left jars to collect the change. People in the Toronto music and skateboarding scenes, as well as local businesses, supported her cause. A Toronto charity, believing Kirilow was terminally ill, flew her to Disney World.

The main volunteers for Cancer for Change allege that Kirilow took in more than $20,000. Privately, Kirilow had accumulated more than $30,000 in credit card debt and had declared bankruptcy. No money collected has gone to cancer research.

When Kirilow's story flooded the Canadian media, Kirilow told reporters that she had borderline personality disorder. Her parents say that she saw therapists and psychiatrists but was not diagnosed with a mental illness. Her other stated reason for the hoax? She had an unhappy childhood, marred by her parents' bitter divorce, and she was lonely.

"She may have been lonely, but that's the least of her concerns," Dr. Neil I. Bernstein, author of "Treating the Unmanageable Adolescent: a Guide to Oppositional Defiant and Conduct Disorders," tells AOL Health.

Bernstein, who has never treated Kirilow, suspects that she suffers from a psychiatric illness. For someone with such symptoms, antisocial personality disorder is a likely diagnosis.

A person with antisocial personality disorder repeatedly breaks the law, disregards the safety of others and lies, steals or fights constantly. This person violates social norms and may enjoy taking advantage of the system. They feel neither guilt nor compassion but can be charming and personable.

"Prisons are filled with people like this," says Bernstein, who notes that while Kirilow isn't physically violent, she does seem to have a desperate need for attention. Kirilow often updated her Facebook profile to note that she was on her way to a chemotherapy treatment.

Antisocial personality disorder usually begins in childhood. In fact, Kirilow's father, Mike, told "GMA" that his daughter had been untrustworthy since a young age and that her criminal activity was unsurprising. "She's always manipulated people, manipulated situations to get what she wants," he said.

Kirilow's grandmother told The Star: "You couldn't trust anything she was saying." Her stepmother added that at age 16, Kirilow, who had left her biological mother's home to avoid following rules, "made this house a living hell." According to her stepmother, Kirilow persistently lied and stole from her siblings.

Usually, a confluence of genetics and environment create a person with antisocial personality disorder. "Environment is the way you're raised, and genetics is the deck you're dealt," says Bernstein. "The interaction of the two can create such a person." Kirilow's parents have confirmed to media outlets that they engaged in a messy custody dispute and that they had a dysfunctional relationship.

The treatment for antisocial personality disorder is psychotherapy. However, undergoing psychotherapy won't necessarily guarantee that such a person can change their behavior. "Can a criminal change?" asks Bernstein. "They have a higher recidivism rate than people with other kinds of difficulties. Is it likely? It depends on the treatment."

Another possibility is that Kirilow is suffering from bipolar disorder and, during certain episodes, may feel particularly grandiose.

Kirilow -- with her hair now grown out -- is currently in police custody and facing several counts of fraud. Her parents will not pay her bail.



SOURCE

It absolutely disgusts me when people fake cancer for pity or attention, or in this case STEALING money she was supposedly raising for cancer research. I hope she's put away for a long time.

My mom has been battling breast cancer for years. She's in her 60s and working to maintain health insurance for herself and my dad, who has diabetes.

For fuck's sake, chemo is covered up there? Bring that system down here, PLEASE!

I can't help but feel sorry for the people who were volunteering under her cause. They had all the best of intentions, and now that's she's been busted it comes off to people like these people were co-conspirators or something and they're receiving death threats.

Talk about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Fuck.

Honestly, I'm amazed how many people are seeing this movie in preview screenings. Seems like every other person I talk with about Scott Pilgrim has seen it at a preview screening.

I mean, yeah I saw it after getting a ticket for it with my pre-ordered copy of the last book, but I'm wondering just how well it's going to do on opening weekend, especially against "The Expendables."

When I finally got Internet access back in '97 or '98ish, I remember receiving and reading the Smurfs Fucking Day story that's been passed around so many times. The story was pretty much the annual event of Smurfette getting gang banged after Papa Smurf (or someone) cast a spell so all her hair below her neck magically disappeared.

I'm sure the damned thing was older than the Internet.
