Advertising Agency Offers $5 Per Day To Men Willing To Wear Ads In Their Beards.

A Kentucky-based advertising agency is offering $5 per day to men willing to wear an ad in their beards. Ad agency Cornett-IMS designed their "beard-vertising" campaign for A&W Root Beer and says it is designed to help those with the gift of facial hair capitalize on natural talents.

We'll let you decide if this is genius or insane, but apparently there is at least some cheeky interest. "We’re getting a ton of emails from guys with epic beards that want to host beardboards and we’re actually in talks with some brands that want to be Beardvertisers. I think we’ll probably be seeing some beardboards in the wild before too long,” the ad agency Cornett-IMS’s Whit Hiler relayed to Foodbeast.com.

Of course, it's not the first time advertisers and people willing to sell their body parts have collaborated. Last year, a man tattooed a Romney-Ryan logo on his face only to have it removed after the election. Earlier this year, a New York firm told employees they would get a pay raise if they got a tattoo of the company's logo.

There is no word on whether cat beards can also apply to wear beard boards.

Plumber Tries To Fix Pipe, Blew Up Mansion Instead

An "incompetent" plumber caused a gas explosion which blew a mansion off its foundations and left the wealthy owner and his wife badly burned, a court was told.

Workman Daniel Hickling, 32, caused the blast, which was likened to a "jet aircraft crashing", after allegedly botching a job by leaving a hole in some piping.

A Lincoln Crown Court hear it led to gas leaking into the luxury Lincolnshire home of Martyn and Teresa Moody, seriously injuring them.

Hickling cut off and capped the protruding pipe and then buried it under the floor during the conversion of a former kitchen into a dining room.

But he punctured the pipe and failed to carry out a straightforward test which would have located the leak, it has been claimed.

Hours later, the Moodys smelt gas and began searching their purpose-built mansion, located in the pretty hamlet of Nettleton in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

While checking out one of the rooms, Mr Moody flicked on a cigarette lighter and the flame ignited a massive explosion which rocked the house.

The blast had such force that the entire building moved an inch. The windows and front door were blown out and the ground floor of the home was severely damaged, with debris thrown 100 yards away.

Mr Moody, 63, who had recently sold his own construction and electrical business, spent two weeks in hospital after he suffered serious burns to his hands, arms and scalp and had to undergo skin grafts. He has been left scarred for life.

His wife Teresa had burns to her legs and feet and was released after two days in hospital.

The large detached home, which the couple had built for themselves back in 1993, was so badly damaged that it had to be virtually completely rebuilt and it was a year before the couple were able to move back in.

Arrest Warrant Out for Presumed Dead Rapper Tim Dog

An arrest warrant has been issued for veteran rapper Tim Dog – three months after his alleged death, reports Memphis’ CBS affiliate WREG.

The New York native, born Timothy Blair, was a longtime diabetes sufferer and was widely reported to have passed away on Feb. 14, following a seizure. However, Mississippi prosecutor Steven Jubera claims he has yet to receive any proof confirming the 46-year-old’s death, so he has managed to obtain an arrest warrant for the rapper.

“I need proof,” says Jubera. “I need a death certificate showing that’s he’s dead because, as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive. Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary… At the bare minimum he would get arrested and sit in jail until his court hearing.”

The warrant relates to Blair’s 2011 conviction for grand larceny, after he confessed to targeting Ester Pilgrim for money that he claimed would be used to resurrect his music career.

He reached a plea deal to avoid a stint in jail, and was ordered to give $19,000 in restitution to his victim, but he failed to settle the debt before his passing.

Pilgrim recently voiced her suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Blair’s death, prompting Jubera to revisit the case.

Mom Teaches Bullying Daughter a Lesson by Making Her Wear Horrible Clothes to School

A ten year old bully from Utah got a taste of her own medicine when her stepmother made her wear ugly thrift shop clothes to school after discovering she was constantly picking on another student on account of her wardrobe.

Bullying is a hard-to-fix problem in schools, but a mother from Murray, Utah seems to have come up with a very effective way of making her daughter realize the seriousness of her actions. Last Wednesday, Ally, whose last name was not revealed in order to protect her daughter’s identity, received an email from one of Kaylee’s teachers, explaining that she had been bullying another classmate because of how she dressed. 

This had been going on for the last three weeks, and according to the teacher, the bullied girl was now refusing to come to school anymore. Aware of the long-term effects of bullying, Ally decided to confront Kaylee about it and make her understand her behavior could have serious consequences. Only the young girl seemed to have no remorse for what she had done, and that prompted Ally to approach the problem differently. “I thought this is a perfect moment for us to really teach her, this is right, this is wrong, which path are you going to take? And then it’s her choice,” the woman said.

Kaylee would take the other girl to the playground every day, call her names and tell her she was a slob and that she dressed like a sleaze. “Someone not wanting to go to school anymore based off of something that one other little person said to them. I mean, that’s huge, that’s damaging,” Ally told Fox 13, so she decided to give her daughter a taste of her own medicine. Although she wasn’t Kaylee’s biological mother, she and her father had been in a serious relationship for several years, so she thought it was her duty to educate her on the issue of bullying. So Ally went to a local thrift shop, bought about $50 worth of clothes she knew Kaylee wouldn’t be caught dead in, and hung it on the bathroom door for her daughter to wear the next day, along with a pair of  old sneakers. “I died. I did,” Kaylee said, admitting that she even cried the first time she laid eyes on the outfits.

Dad's Fractured Arm Takes SIX YEARS To Fix - Then He Breaks It The Next Day Tripping Over Dog

After six years of agonising treatment to fix his ­shattered arm, Tim Blackburn could be forgiven for having a bone to pick with pesky pooch Jackson.

The Staffordshire bull terrier, two, is in the dog house after he tripped his ­luckless master on the stairs and sent him tumbling to a fresh break – the day after his arm felt fully healed.

Tim, 50, said: “The dog thought I was taking him out and pushed past me. He knocked away my leading leg.

"I knew straight away what had happened. It snapped like a twig and it was excruciating – I couldn’t believe I’d done it again.”
