casket1 Tweets Is Talking: Low Prices Til The Casket Drops

The world’s largest retailer wants to keep its customers even after they die. Wal-Mart has started selling caskets on its Web site at prices that undercut many funeral homes, long the major seller of caskets. The move follows a similar one by discount rival Costco, which also sells caskets on its site.

Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., quietly put up about 15 caskets and dozens of urns on its Web site last week. Prices range from $999 for models like “Dad Remembered” and “Mom Remembered” steel caskets to the mid-level $1,699 “Executive Privilege.” All are less than $2,000, except for the Sienna Bronze Casket, which sells for $3,199.

Crunkland Submitted: Mom Tries To Sell Son For Gas Money

And all this time I felt bad for considering hustling my nephew for petro paper.

According to Melbourne police a 37-year-old woman was arrested on a child-neglect charge Friday afternoon after a tow truck driver told police the mother offered to sell her child in exchange for gas money.

Pappalardo faces a charge of child neglect in connection with the report. Police are continuing their investigation.

Sgt. Michael Casey of Melbourne police said officers learned of a 9-1-1 call about 3 p.m. from a tow truck driver who said a woman had tried to sell him her 6-year-old boy in exchange for gas money at a gas station near U.S. 1 and Lake Washington Road.

The driver refused, Melbourne police said, and then followed the mother who was in a white sedan with her child and another woman as he called police.

“He rolled up his window and followed her. They drove all across north Melbourne,” Casey said.

The white sedan was pulled over in Suntree by police. Pappalardo was questioned and arrested. Her 6-year-old boy sat on the trunk of the car and cried as his mother was led away.

Roy Baijnath, the tow-truck driver who lives in Palm Bay, told the Florida Today he was concerned about the child’s safety. [source]

News Break

muggin News BreakA woman came into the Coggin Pontiac dealership on Blanding Blvd. looking to buy a car. But how she tried to pay for the car is what caught the salesman’s attention.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says Emma Harrison, 25, wrote the dealership a check for $67,768 for the purchase of a car, with the names Jesus Christ and Emma Christ on the account. The check was handed over to the financial manager for verification.

But when the funds didn’t check out, he called police.

Reports show that Harrison would sign the checks as Emma Christ, or even sometimes sign both Jesus Christ and Emma Christ.

Emma told police Harrison was her maiden name, and she was married to Jesus Christ, and Jesus was coming in next week to sign the paperwork for the car.

She also said the dealership called the wrong company to verify the funds. Police looked into Harrison’s accounts, and found that she had no money in any of her accounts, so she could not purchase the car.

When asked about work, Harrison told police she does not work, but she has a traveling website that people deposit money into.

She had three active credit cards in the name of Emma Christ.

Harrison was arrested on three fraud-related counts. [source]

Photographed on the red carpet at this weekend’s 7th Annual Hoodie Awards which is like Thanksgiving here at C+D [The BET Awards is Christmas], was homegirl smothered in tanginess, Tommy Davidson. Giving nothing less than his heart and slightly exposed chest, Tommy gave photogs a taste of honey, letting them salivate for more.

This however doesn’t take away from the fact that in this recession, he’s not working. Sweetness ain’t had a steady gig since Living Color. He rocked the same decadent outfit a month prior at the Hollywood premiere of The Orphan.

WHEN DID HE STEAM UP THE GLASS POT LID MORE?

Why Won’t You Let Levar Burton Be Great?!

89765374 Why Wont You Let Levar Burton Be Great?!

Damn his futuristic stupid fruity swag on Star Trek and shackles on Roots, LeVar Burton will always be known as the non-threatening negro who came into living rooms all over the world to tell kids about the joys of taking a look in a book. And I will always love him for it.

Now this is where the shade and jokes come into play.

A fancy grocery store in Los Angeles took a look at their books … and realized LeVar Burton owed them a bunch of money.

According to a lawsuit filed last month, the “Reading Rainbow” host owes Gelson’s a little over $2,000 — plus attorney’s fees.

Burton’s had an account with them since 1990, but Gelson’s claims he hasn’t paid his bill since December 2008.
