Bozo Criminal of the Day
This Always Worked For MacGyver
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Randy Shereda for sending in today’s report from Lake Worth, Florida, where bozo Manny Green was taken to the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound. He explained that he was bored and had built a homemade gun, using the brass tube assembly from an air conditioner gauge, a large nut, springs, and a screwdriver. He then placed the contraption in his pocket, where it promptly went off, shooting himself in the leg. This might have just been an embarrassment, except for one small problem. He’s a felon and is not allowed to have a weapon, homemade or otherwise. And then there’s the small problem of pills that were found in his pocket along with the gun. Busted! He’s been charged with possession of firearms and felony drug possession.

Wendy’s offers lobster, caviar burgers in Japan
Wendy’s is upping the burger ante in Japan with the release of a new lobster and caviar burger.
The fast food giant will offer specialty seafood burgers beginning at the end of this month for a limited time, spokesman Bob Bertini said.
One of the burgers features lobster claw meat, lobster salad and caviar, while the other has a beef patty with lobster claw meat.
They cost about $16 to $20 each.
Wendy’s has one location in Japan and will open a second restaurant this month.
“Japan is a very competitive market in terms of restaurant chains and this is another way for Wendy’s to differentiate itself from competitors,” Bertini said.
No plans are in the works to offer the sandwiches here, although reports say the lobster is imported from Canada
