*Damn! This story is so sad!

 17 year old Carmen Collins who is a homosexual killed her sister by shooting her at close range in the head four times. 

Most recently Collins changed her story saying she didn't kill her sister and her attorney thinks she will be exonerated!

"NOT!

As the story goes she was apparently jealous of 12 year old India Collins.  Apparently the parents took a liking to India a more than Carmen.  Carmen has struggled with her homosexuality for quite some time and according to sources her parents wasn't happy about having a gay daugher.

Nonetheless, it's still no reason to kill your sibling due to parents having favorites.*

Lay’s offering $1 million via Facebook to the best new potato chip recipe

(Today In Tech)-Lay's is offering a cash prize to the person who creates the best new idea for a potato chip with its "Do Us a Flavor" contest. Three finalists will see their inventions realized, then the public will decide on the best one by a vote on Facebook. The grand prize? Either $1 million or 1% of the new flavor's net sales in 2013; the winner gets to choose.

According to Ram Krishnan, vice president of marketing for Frito-Lay, the Facebook contest is the biggest promotion the company has run in its entire history. It's also the first time the food brand has taken crowd-sourced marketing to a U.S. audience. It ran the flavor contest in other nations, which led to new chips that tasted like Caesar salads, shrimp, sausage, and pickled cucumber.

The food industry has been joining the crowd-sourcing bandwagon with more and more high-profile brands. Samuel Adams, Arizona Iced Tea, and McDonald's have recently launched promotions that let customers create new tastes. It's a more corporate, incentive-based approach to crowd sourcing than the immensely popular platform Kickstarter, which has helped many independent thinkers and artists bring their dreams into reality.
*********************************************************************


*Oh Yea, Frito Lay is kicking it up a knotch with your chip contest!

For all you creative cooks who are desperate to make a name for yourselves, this is a sure way to do it. 

So get off up your behinds and get on your cooking grind and crank out the best chip recipe America and Frito Lay has ever seen.*

Burger King Employee Stands on Lettuce: Busted by Internet

(Yahoo Shine-Sarah Weir)-Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It took 4Chan users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-area Burger King employee who stood on top of two containers of shredded lettuce and then posted a picture of the gross act. 4Chan is a bulletin board-type website where members post images and comments.



"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King," wrote the unnamed employee on the evening of July 16. Guess he thought that was funny. Other users weren't laughing: according to Hypervocal.com, Anonymous, the notorious vigilante hacking group, used GPS data embedded in the photo to locate the fast food restaurant's address and reportedly contacted the franchise and FoxNews8. "Whoever this is is getting fired," a morning shift manager named Andrea, told the Cleveland Scene.

Bryson W. Thornton, Director of Burger King's Global Communications, wrote in a statement to Yahoo! Shine:

"Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a BURGER KING® restaurant employee violating the company's stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all BURGER KING® restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question. The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KING® franchisee. The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident."

Still, make mine a burger, but hold the lettuce.



*LOOK AT THIS!!!


Is this fool crazy?


This BK worker out of Cleveland, stands on the lettuce, then snaps a picture of his dumb ass doing it! If this ain't some "you know what!"


We believe this individual did this for the "wow" factor!  Apparently he wanted to make a big statement in a big way by abusing the BK lettuce.  Which is gross!


It's sad we as people have to worry about idioc individuals acting a straight fool and doing gross things to the potential food we may purchase. 


To some degree this is to be expected, because of the age we live in...the internet age.  Many individuals do things just to get attention because they feel like it's going to make them famous, and some just can't help themselves because they are attention whores.  Someone should of told this idiot that putting a pic of himself online would come back and bite him in the ass!

Sick!


Welcome to the age of the intenet where everything goes.*

New questions about when Romney officially left Bain Capital

(The Ticket-Yahoo)-Government filings say Mitt Romney may have worked at Bain Capital longer than he's publicly suggested.

Romney has repeatedly said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. But according to the Boston Globe, Bain's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission say Romney remained the firm's "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" until 2002.

The Globe also reports Romney's financial disclosure forms filed in Massachusetts list him as the sole owner of Bain Capital in 2002 and say he earned money as a Bain "executive" in 2001 and 2002.

The timing is notable because Romney has said his resignation from the company in 1999 meant he was not responsible for companies owned by Bain that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date. But both Bain Capital and the Romney campaign disputed the story, the latter describing the article as "inaccurate."

"As Bain Capital has said, as Gov. Romney has said, and as has been confirmed by independent fact checkers multiple times, Gov. Romney left Bain Capital in February of 1999 to run the Olympics and had no input on investments or management of companies after that point," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement.

But the Obama campaign immediately seized on the report, slamming Romney's "big Bain lie." They used the article to press on with their calls for Romney to release more information about his personal finances, questioning whether the GOP nominee is "concealing his tax returns" because he's trying to hide something.

"It's time for Mitt Romney to come clean so that the American people can make their own judgments about his record and his motivations," Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager, said in an email to reporters.



*Romney is a hot ass mess!

We here at Diva's Nation have repeatedly said he's hiding something. We have also reported how he seems to not want the public to know anything about his past business affiliations or his off shore companies or his tax returns.

To us it makes no sense to be that way.  If your trying to become President, then we believe the American people who are the voters have the right to know about your past business affiliations, as well as skills, voting record and more.  It puts alot into perspective when we do go to the polls.

If this information is correct, then Romney has big problems and definitely big problems when voters go to the polls in November!*

MITT ROMNEY GET'S BOOED !

*Romney's speech to the Houston's NAACP event was of mixed reviews. He talked about alot of things, mainly about President Obama and his so-called failed policies. The main thing that got many folks' attention and the boo's was Romney stating he would repeal "Obamacare." Which in fact is a term made up by the opposition to make fun of the President's will to make healthcare available to all.

As the speech went on Romney did make some valid points about education and helping families achieve goals to be financially stable. I think most folk's are on the same page about wanting to be financially secure and providing for one's family. I guess we really didn't need good ole Mitt to tell us that.

As we continued to listen to Mitt's speech about President Obama, he started to look very uncomfortable. He started out being very stiff, then he goes into a "trying to hard" fidget. Honestly; he was all over the place in what he was saying. He went from staying on point to rambling about what the President isn't doing for the people, especially for the black community. It was very uncomfortable to watch FOR REAL!

At the end of the day, Mitt Romney should of stated his points about what he would do better and how he would try to improve many things he thought was broken in America. Instead of going on a rambling feista about President Obama, he should of left his name out of the whole speech and talked about his ideas, while interjecting some comedic lines about his life on the campaign trail or about his family.

That's what we want to hear about mostly, not the bashing of the other side. Americans hear that enough in campaign ads.

Truthfully; Mitt Romney failed to do what he set out to do. That was to woo the upper echelon so-to-speak, of the black community. With his off the wall humor, to his quoting of civil rights leaders; many of them didn't buy it. They didn't buy it for a one reason, and that is his delivery isn't of a genuine nature, especially to people of color.

What we believe Mitt Romney is failing to realize is that, this is a very sensitive nation because of all the things that has happened. People want solutions, and they want them to be clear and concise and not "iffy and stiffy." The key for him is coming down off of his high horse and shaking hands with the people who are living in this state of "bs" and "unkowns."

Those are the people who want to know that you as the potentially incoming President will do everything it takes to improve things for them and this nation.

At the end of the day, if Mitt Romney can't do that, then he won't win. If he thinks he can skate by, by bashing the President on his policies, then he's wrong! That won't cut it either. What will cut it is an honest, genuine and positive candidate who wants the very best for this country.*

*What a very sad story for this family in Warner Robins GA.

 

This family has lost two kids because of the idiotic senseless act of one.  I hope that they throw the damn book at this girl for doing such a horrible thing to her young sister. 

 

I guess the main question is; why?  Why would this young girl kill her sister and burn the damn house down to try to cover up?  This is a very quiet middle class community, which you wouldn't think this sort of thing would happen. 

 

However, in these times I guess you never say never, because crime is everywhere.

 

At the end of the day, this girl did the crime so she has to suffer the consquences.*

Who is Kim Jong Un’s mystery woman?

(Yahoo News-The Lookout)-Who is she?

That's what people around the world want to know about a mysterious young woman who appeared with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a pair of events over the weekend.

The woman first appeared with Kim on North Korean state television on Sunday at a ceremony marking the 18th anniversary of his grandfather and North Korea founder Kim Il Sung's death. She is believed to be the same woman shown in a photograph released by the Korea News Service on Monday showing Kim and others clapping during a July 6 performance by new Moranbong band in Pyongyang. (The unusual performance included appearances by Disney characters—including Mickie Mouse, Minnie Mouse and
Winnie the Pooh—not often seen in North Korea, which traditionally shuns entertainment of the West.)

The mystery woman sparked a crush of media coverage in South Korea, where some speculate that she could be Kim's younger sister or wife. No official details about her identity have been released.

According to London's Telegraph, "South Korean intelligence sources" say the woman is Hyon Song Wol, a singer "who used to front the Bochonbo Electronic Music Band" and "responsible for a string of hits that included 'Footsteps of Soldiers,' 'I Love Pyongyang,' 'She is a Discharged Soldier' and 'We are Troops of the Party.'"

Her popularity "peaked in 2005 with the song 'Excellent Horse-Like Lady,'" the Telegraph said, adding:

Hyon subsequently disappeared from public view at the time that Kim emerged as the heir-apparent to his father, Kim Jong Il.
There are reports that 28-year-old Kim Jong Un was ordered to break off his relationship with Hyon by his father and that she later married an officer in the North Korean army with whom she has a baby.

The North Korean government is notoriously secretive when it comes to its leaders. It took more than a day to announce the death of Kim Jong Il in December. And as the Associated Press points out, little personal information is known about Kim himself, though he is thought to be in his late 20s. Kim's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, was born in 1987, the AP said.

*What! A female appearing out in front with Kim. That is very new!

North Korea has always been a secretive nation about everything.  Very rarely do that let the press in to film anything.  The government keeps a tight lid not only on gov't affairs but it's people.  Most of the time the people have to do whatever the North Korean gov't tells them. That includes, what they watch on television, clothing, how many babies they can have, and the biggest thing is what they can say.

For them to be so secretive and now to have a woman showing up at events and being photographed is something new.  One could only speculate if it's a rebranding of the nations image, or a ploy to throw off the press so they will stop discussing how crazy this nation is with it's bed of secrets and how it treats it's people.  Again one can only speculate. 

If we had our guess, it's to get the attention of the press and show that the North Korean Gov't isn't as bad as being reported.  We also believe it may be a strategy by the current leader to appear soft to the world in order to bring in more business. 

At the end of the day we can only speculate about why this female is showing up, but whatever the North Korean Gov't is up to, it's working because the world press is all over it.*

Alabama Pastor Holds White's Only Conference

(The Lookout)-A controversial pastor's conference welcoming only "white Christians" is underway in Lamar County, Ala., upsetting residents of the nearby town of Winfield in the western part of the state.

Christian Identity Ministries is holding a three-day conference for so-called "white Christians" who contend they have been treated unfairly, the Rev. Mel Lewis told local TV station WSFA. Lewis, the organizer and keynote speaker, says they have the right, like any other Americans, to worship how they wish.

Ku Klux Klan flags and white supremacy slogans surround the conference, which will conclude with a cross being set on fire Friday night. Organizers say it's not a cross-burning, but rather sacred Christian cross lighting.

"We are not breaking any laws. We're not violating any ordinances. We're bringing the Word of God to people who want it, obviously, or they wouldn't be here," Lewis told the TV station.

Lewis said of the conference-goers: "They are part of the chosen race."

The mayor of nearby Winfield said residents are upset, and the event does not represent their town in any way.

"Business people are upset. The city is upset. The city of Winfield does not condone this," Winfield Mayor Wayne Silas told another local TV station, WECT.

"It's surprising to see something like that in our town," said Tyler Cantrell. "I know it's been here in the past."

Organizers say their ministry is not a hate group and that although there is a strong KKK presence, the Klan did not sponsor the event.




*Treated unfairly my ass!

Truly this idiot is trying to prove a point with this all white christian conference.  He's not fooling anyone these days, especially with the likes of the KKK showing up and burning crosses and what not.

This mess doesn't surprise me, because only in America do we have things like this that seem to make national headlines.  This type of gathering is nothing more than a KKK white supremacist meeting for people who don't like the society we live in these days. 

Think about it. 

We have a black President who runs America.  We also have same-sex couples who is getting married and flaunting it in everyone's faces.  Then we have a ravished economy with the loss of jobs, as well as the loss of the so-called American dream.  Then our education system is crap.  So honestly it's not a shock people are rallying and trying to call attention their so-called pain and suffering.

Hell; I'm sure we all suffer but to hold a conference with the KKK in place and then set fire to a cross is definitely taking it way to far.  These people need to find something better to do with their time and get over it. 

"I'm bored with this...yawn."
