Mysterious New Crop Circle Formation in Wiltshire

Nearly 200 crop circles have appeared in just one formation not far from Warminster, Wiltshire, known as the UFO capital of Britain.

The circular 90m (300ft) design, believed to represent the passage of the Moon and Sun, contains 193 rings, including six key circles and a seventh in the centre.

Crop circle expert Karen Alexander said: ‘This is the most complex circle so far this year.’ The formation, near the village of Mere, is the first in the area since 1997.

WBC Labels Lady Gaga as 'Devil's Spawn'

buzz7 - ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga has been branded as “the devil’s spawn” and “a whore face” by a religious group for promoting homosexuality.

The Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for its hatred of homosexuals, targeted the 24-year-old bisexual pop singer over her sizzling, lesbian-themed video ‘Telephone’.

The extremist church group, which has already caused uproar by picketing the funerals of US servicemen and whose slogan is “God Hates Fags”, claimed Gaga’s image, clothes, songs and pop videos are “blasphemous”.

Followers have picketed the singer’s gigs with placards saying “God Hates GaGa”, and group members Megan Phelps Roper, 24, and cousin Sara Phelps, 29, have even filmed foul-mouthed parodies of ‘Telephone’ and ‘Poker Face’, called ‘Ever Burn’ and ‘Whorish Face’.

Their controversial lyrics include “Go devil’s spawn to the hell where you will forever burn”, and “You ain’t got no poker face, you just got your whorish face”.

“Lady GaGa is a sleazy God-hater. She has the face of a proud whore and something needs to be done about it. She is teaching the boys and the girls to be proud whores,” the Daily Star quoted campaigner Megan as saying.

“GaGa is promoting homosexuality and bisexuality and God hates her. God hates all fags and fag enablers,” she stated.

The group even claimed GaGa was responsible for contributing to the deaths of soldiers in Afghanistan and the Mexico oil spill.

“For the way that you fake pray all the time will just kill soldiers faster, spread that oil faster, bring the fire faster,” they chanted.

Woman Mails Cow’s Tongue and Opossum Head to Romantic Rival

stltoday - A woman admitted in federal court that she had sent threatening letters, a cow's tongue and the head of an opossum to a romantic rival. Jessica L. Bradshaw, 39, of Lincoln County, was married at the time but fell hard for a woman in Trenton, Ill., officials said. In January, Bradshaw sent threatening notes and the animal parts to the woman's girlfriend, she admitted in court.

Bradshaw pleaded guilty on three felony counts of mailing a threatening communication, and faces up to 16 months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. Bradshaw's lawyer, Yi Sun, will ask for less, arguing that she should get a break due to her "diminished mental capacity" at the time of the offense, her plea agreement says.

The first threatening letter read, in part, "WE WILL TAKE OUT ALL YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH."

Bradshaw next mailed the cow's tongue in a tampon box, along with another threatening note. The opossum head was the third to arrive, according to Bradshaw's plea agreement. Her feelings for the woman "took on an intensity that overwhelmed her rational thought," according to a psychiatric evaluation conducted earlier this year.

Former Employee 'Rolling Back' on Walmart...Claims He Was Forced to Wear Yellow Vest Because He Was Gay

consumerist - A temporary Walmart worker is accusing his former supervisors of forcing him to wear a yellow vest after learning of his sexual orientation. The worker, 18-year-old Fernando Gallardo, was quick to compare the retail behemoth to the Nazis in a complaint filed with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission.

"I was completely ignored and shunned. I had nothing to do all day but wander around the store wearing a yellow vest no one else had to wear, much like Jews had to wear a yellow star of David in Hitler's Germany."

Walmart claims that it forces people of all creeds to wear yellow vests.

"It is my understanding that the former associate was a temporary hire while the store is under remodeling," Keene told The Advocate. "Between the 50 or so temporary associates in that store, there is a rotation through the position of 'May I Help You' associate. The several associates in this role wear a vest so customers can identify them and ask for help in finding products that may have been temporarily moved to a new spot."

Gallardo doesn't buy the excuse, and further claims that store managers offered permanent positions to anyone who would testify that Gallardo voluntarily revealed his sexual orientation. His claims seem all the more plausible in light of the largest class action in history, which alleges that Walmart systemically discriminated against female workers.
