• Racist Small Town Hoodlums Getting Away with Murder

  Brandon Piekarsky entering court before his acquittal on third-degree murder charges. Piekarsky's level of involvement in the killing is unclear, as he wasn't believed to have helped in the beating. On July 12th, in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, a group of white teenagers were walking home when they came across a young Hispanic man in the park with a teenage girl. One of them yelled out, "Isn't it a little late for you to be out? Get your Mexican boyfriend out of here." The Mexican man, whose name was Luis Ramirez, became enraged and screamed back at them and began calling for backup. Eighteen-year-old Brian Scully then traded punches with Ramirez, with no one ever agreeing on how the fight actually got started. Read More...

• While You Were Sleeping: Kim Kardashian's Sex Tape Is Inspiring to Young Girls?

  Say what you want about its culture, but Wal-Mart workers in Miami may be the first in the nation to unionize. The top 10 places to kiss. Here's one we haven't heard before: police raided a topless bar in Ohio that featured a fourteen-year-old stripper. Read More...

• PA DA Threatening to Jail 11-Year-Olds For Sexting

  District Attorney George Skumanick Jr. Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania is in deep doo-doo after bullying and threatening the parents of a bunch of girls between the ages of 10 and 16 about their sexting problems. He threatened to imprison an eleven year old for something that isn't even a crime (wait'll you hear this) and is being sued by the ACLU on behalf of three furious families. Skumanick sat down with parents one day and showed them the lurid images and said that either the girls enter into a treatment program for their sexual problems or be forced to endure a trip to juvie hall, a trial, and possible jail time...

• Someone Tell These Cheerleaders They Don't Need to Try So Hard

  This latest newsmaking foible has numerous elements that commonly surface here on Scanner: the cheerleaders, the stripper pole, the drunken hijinks, the overage guy being inappropriate with the underage people, and that modern classic, getting in trouble when you post photos on Facebook.  And now, for how those puzzle pieces go together.

• Teacher In Lesbian Sex Scandal Story Not Helping...

  This is the face of terror. Or it could be the face of true love. (Either way, could the cops have made this mug shot any more like a documentary on the Hale-Bop cult?)  Angie Fetty is a thirty-four-year-old English teacher in Pennsylvania and now an accused sex offender. Unlike most of the alleged criminals profiled on this blog, Fetty is a female accused of sleeping with another female, in this case, a sixteen-year-old who may or may not testify against her lover. But it's not the fact that this is a lesbian sex scandal that caught our attention... Read More...

• Doctor Sex is the New Teacher Sex

  In this economy, we care less about grades (because who can afford college, anyway?) and more about taking care of our basic needs, like food, clothing, shelter and prescription drugs. So it was only a matter of time before we'd start to hear of people exchanging their most valuable natural resource (sex) for a basic human need (drugs). It's been happening on the mean streets for years, but now a Pennsylvania doctor has been arrested for violating the drug act. And, of course, sexting. Read More...

• Boy Suspended From School For Having Sex... Guess What Happened to His Partner?

  Sexism strikes both sexes in American culture. Note the example shown above... ...and this story, which features a thirteen-year-old boy who learned that it's often considered solely the male person's fault if a man and a woman are caught doing something "sexually inappropriate" out in the real world.

• Ukraine's Hot Goth Prime Minister and Other Breaking Goth News

  In Ukraine, they have gothic prime minister. What a country! Stateside, a Pennsylvania woman was selling what she called "gothic kittens" on eBay until the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals  stepped in earlier this week.  What made the poor kittahys so "goth," and video after the jump.

• Sloppy Seconds: The Sheep Beauty Pageant

  Everyone in this British man's Spanish town was arrested on corruption charges, so now he's the mayor. A bad Jim Carrey movie is already in the works, we're sure. This is either the grossest or funniest thing in ages, we can't decide. Here's the latest rumor about Led Zeppelin... guess who won't be singing for them this time? Read More...

• Sex Writer On "Obscene" Website Sentenced To Home Detention

  A woman whose website, Red Rose Stories, was shuttered three years ago by the Feds, pleaded guilty yesterday to obscenity charges and received a long term of probation plus six months of home confinement. Wait, fiftysomething years after Howl and Naked Lunch, they're still busting people for "obscenity," particularly on the internet? We had to find out just what the site could have presented that could get its owner in so much trouble... Read More...

• This Week In Gayness: Post-Coming Out

  The Tampa Tribune kinda called John McCain out on that phony "states rights" cover story.  Following a mere procedural vote in each chamber of government and the signature of Governor Patrick, Massachusetts will soon allow out-of-state gays to be married there.  Is Katy Perry a friend... or foe... of the gays?

• Women Host Sex Party With Six Teenage Boys

  We didn't get to Friday's big orgy story, mainly because we were totally weirded out by it and needed some time to let it all sink in. Back in April, two women in Bucks County, PA hosted a sleepover involving a half-dozen local 14- and 15-year-old boys, an incident which only just came to light in the past few days. The arrest of the dangerous duo on a variety of the usual charges (unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, etc.) leaves us with several dangling questions...  Read More...

  A thirty-one-year-old man, who luckily has not been named in AP reports and has therefore escaped eternal shame, had to be pried from a Port-A-Potty this week by an entire Pennsylvania rescue crew.

• Hillary and Barack: Now What The Hell Do We Do?

  You went from being up by 25% to winning by a Felliniesque 8.5% and you're telling us you can still win this?  Well, we in the media will play your game, then, since without the Democratic contest going all the way to August, we are totally devoid of ideas for news stories...

• Heidi Montag Endorses McCain; Alarmed GOPers Head For the Hills

  After she endorsed, Spencer Pratt reportedly said, "Nobody cares who Heidi Montag is going to vote for." But could she actually swing the youth vote away from Obama? After all, the Obama-McCain election is going to come down to a handful of votes.  Okay, we're kidding. She ain't gonna do shit. And besides, we have more important things to discuss... Read More...

  Hillary Clinton is #1 today, at least on YouTube. With the early Nicholson-sponsored video and now this, her surprise (yet still somehow expected) appearance on Saturday Night Live, the Senator from New York is stealing the spotlight from Barack Obama just as he was beginning to pull away.

• Hot Teacher Busted For Hosting Sex & Drugs Party

  Hot Teacher Abbiejane Swogger of Harrison, PA, is the thirty-four-year-old ex-stripper who was busted after cops raided her student-filled hotel room. They found condoms, crack cocaine (woah, Pennsylvania is right up there with Jersey, yo!), Mary Jane reefers, and God knows what else. But it's her explanation for why she was up late in a hotel room with teenage boys that is the real standout. Read More...

• Prediction: Tonight Will Seal Obama's Victory

  The media is already starting to talk Obama vs. McCain, which basically means they've turned their backs on any possibility of a come-from-behind victory by Hillary Clinton on March 4th.  Tonight's debate in Austin, TX, which is closed to the public, is where Barack Obama will lock up the nomination... or fall apart under some withering, Clinton-style attacks...
