Teen zip line rider showers Las Vegas tourists in urine | Fox News
What happens in Vegas, sprays in Vegas.
Las Vegas tourists were treated to an unexpected, and unwelcome, sprinkling when a teenager riding a zip line through the Fremont Street Experience urinated on people below as he sped through the attraction on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for the SlotZilla attraction confirmed to FOX 5 Las Vegas that a 15-year-old boy drenched the people below in pee.
Like a lot of liquid coming from above us, just showering from head to toe our back and top of the head dripping down, and we thought it was some sort of water, maybe some drinks or beer, Cazimere Ferguson, a tourist from Honolulu, told the station.
The Fremont Street Experience is a 24-hour entertainment complex featuring shopping, casinos, restaurants and more just a few blocks from the Las Vegas Strip. SlotZilla opened in 2014.
A marketing director for Fremont Street told the FOX affiliate that the teenagers parents apologized for the incident. At this time it is unclear whether the boy urinated on people as a joke or if it was the result of an accident.

This Company Introduced ‘Beer For Women’ and People Are Just Not Having It
Czech brewery probably thought they were doing something good with a new product they launched with the hashtag #beerforwomen.
But, uh, no. Women (and men) were quick to point out that women don’t need a special beer, and to imply they do is more than a little sexist.
People wasted NO time in aggressively jumping on the offensive against the established brewery.

This sort of thing happened all the time thirty or forty years ago, but today, we’re past this type oftreatment.
Or, we at least THOUGHT we were.

No doubt this brewery is finding themselves in headlines for all the wrong reasons today.
Still, some think there’s nothing wrong with marketing to women. Beer’s marketed to men all the time, right?
SMH ~ the Aurosa packaging is beautiful. And, no one complains when beer brands appeal directly to men https://t.co/Hfr62AVubz #BeerforHer
— Liquor Lady (@Liquor_Lady) July 21, 2017
Eh, maybe. That’s this Twitter user’s claim, but I’m not so sure I buy that argument. I’m not sure anyone else does either, given the lack of responses.
Wait…what?
IT'S NOT EVEN BEER!! #BeerForHer #LeaveTheLagerForTheLadshttps://t.co/3fuglq7vWQ
— Rebecca Short (@BeccaEShort) July 21, 2017
I haven’t found anything that supports this claim, but the company’s website is painfully vague on what’s actually inthe bottle, so we can’t rule it out.
But the only thing worse than the controversy they’re in would be if they actually marketed a non-beer as beer.
People were quick to crack jokes about what beers were “for women,” as though they’re just learning they can only drink certain brands.
Is ANY of this for me? I'm so confused. #beerforher pic.twitter.com/f6bxUE8pwP
— Caroline Mair (@PlusuneFrambois) July 13, 2017
Of course, it’s for you. All beer is for everyone. Well, at least everyone that’s old enough to enjoy it.

Mercury is no longer in retrograde, so your life should be perfect now
After wreaking havoc on your life for most of May, the horror that is Mercury in retrograde came to an end on Sunday. This means that youll no longer feel out of sorts, and youll be able to make rational decisions again.
And thats not all. Heres what else you can finally do now that the smallest planet in the solar system is no longer moving slower than Earth.
1) Start texting again
At the height of Mercury retrograde, Neil deGrasse Tyson is known to be at his most confused, so its not in nobodys best interest to read his incoherent tweets. But guess what? Retrograde is over until August; therefore, you have a couple months to revel in Neils extremely scientific musings.
Never seen a bar fight break out while people are drinking wine. Beer, yes. Hard liquor, yes. But not wine.

5 Updates On Your Favorite Brunch Cocktails To Shake Up Your Weekend
Whats the best thing about brunch? The booze.
If youre looking to change up the routine of waiting in line for 45 minutes to get a few eggs and some hair of the dog, why not host a boozy brunch yourself?Take a look at all the boozy beverages you can make, so your place can become the most popular brunch spot in town:
1. Green Bloody Mary
The hair of the dog is no joke when it comes to brunching hard.To get that hangover fix and power through, a go-to bloody mary is your best bet. If youve ever wanted to be like that super hip restaurant, whipping up those weird versions of their own bloody marys, heres your chance.
Surprise your brunchers with a green bloody mary. Thats right. It’s not red, but green.
Blend together tomatillos, green tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, cilantro and serrano chiles, and then stir together with your favorite vodka. Lime wedges go on top to stick to the color theme.
It’s guaranteed to wake you up and get you feeling good. It’s just like a mean green juice, but with alcohol.
2. Bromosa
If youre looking to grow some facial hair and man up during an often-girly brunch, go bro.A bromosa (also known as a beermosa) is perfect for those of you who think that mimosa flute just isn’t enough.
This drink is a mimosa with beer, and it’s ideally served in a pint glass so you get more.Lighter (and often cheaper) beer works best, such as PBR or Coors Light. Fill it up almost to the top, and add just enough OJ to change the color.
3. Salty Pirate
After youve taken that mimosa to the bro level, you can make it even more hardcore and take out the juice altogether. There’s no time to waste if your goal is to get real boozy during this brunch.
The salty pirate is light enough to drink for both the morning and midday rager. Mix about a shot of Captain Morgan Cannon Blastspiced rum into a glass of radler style beer. (This is basically any beer thats part beer and part carbonated juice or ginger ale. Think “summer shandy.”)
Throw in a lime and give it a kick by rimming the glass with kosher salt and cayenne powder. This will give you a nice, loose sailor tongue to keep the conversation going all day long.
4. Lemony Spiked Sweet Tea
To err on the classier side or at least to try to get some Southern manners serve some lemony spiked sweet tea. Steep orange pekoe tea bags, and then sweeten the mixture with dissolved sugar water. Add lemon juice and rum.
Pour it over ice, garnish it with mint and stay refreshed and alive with some sweet Southern charm.
5. Blood Orange Mimosa
Lets bring it back to brunch basics, where the boozy brunch all started: the mimosa.To keep it fresh and different from the standard champagne and OJ version, why not try a blood orange mimosa?
Pull out the fancy flutes and fill them with a mixture of blood orange juice, sugar and Grand Marnier, and top it off with prosecco.This still stays near and dear to the classic, but it infuses an extra touch for a next-level type of brunch.
Brunch holds a special place in our hearts. With carefree vibes, free-flowing words, drinks and cheers to accompany us, it symbolizes the potential of the fun that can be had midday.
As you float on top of the world with a full day ahead of you, its good to know that the possibilities are endless when it comes to brunch beverages. Now go on and get your brunch on.

Khlo K Posts Cryptic Tweet After Lamar Odom Reportedly Got Kicked Off Flight
Khlo Kardashian just posted a cryptic tweet that may be about the unfortunate events that happened to Lamar Odom on Monday evening.
The former NBA champion was reportedly kicked off a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City after getting too drunk and vomiting on the plane.
According to TMZ,Odom was seen heavily drinking beer and whiskey before boarding. Once he was on the plane, he ran to the bathroom and immediately threw up.
Odom was apparently escorted off the plane but came back 10 minutes later. His pants were allegedly stained with vomit, so he went back to the bathroom but had trouble making his way up and down the aisle.
TMZ reported passengers were deeply concerned. One allegedly told the flight attendant,
Don’t you know his history? I don’t want a dead body at 30,000 feet.
Odom was eventually taken off the plane, and the flight ended up being 40 minutes late to NYC.
This morning, Khlo Kardashian posted a sad emoji face on Twitter, which may be referencing what happened to Lamar.
Khlo (@khloekardashian) July 12, 2016
Fans left the reality star comments to support her during this difficult time.
@khloekardashian we love you so much Khloe and we’ll always be here for you

— Khlo (@khloekardashian) July 12, 2016
Early June, a source told Us WeeklyKhlo K was done helping Lamar Odom because of his drug addiction.
The source said Khlo planned to “put her foot down and stop helping him out.
On Friday, July 8, Odom filed his response to Khlo’s divorce papers.
At the end of the day, it’s clear Khlo will forever care about Lamar and just wants what’s best for him. The news, of course, just broke her heart.

The Best & Worst Foods To Eat At Any Fourth Of July BBQ
BEST: 1. Watermelon
Wanna stay hydrated while destroying things in Americas name? Best get you some watermelon. Not only does it have like, zero calories, but itll keep you feeling and looking great (see: not bloated) while your brother tries to blow his fingers off with firecrackers.
2. Grilled Chicken Wings
Note all three words in that nameGRILLED being the main one. If your host is throwing wings on the grill, opt for salt and pepper over a dunk in some sauce. Itll be essentially the same as regular grilled chicken, but you can still feel cute eating it sans the shit on your face and hands.
3. Water
Our boring friend water saves the day again. Obviously youll be wanting to hit up the bar, but chugging a few bottles of water between your snacks and drinks will keep you from diving into the macaroni salad or brownie tray. Plus, setting off fireworks and nearly losing fingers is exhausting, so like, be hydrated.
4. Fruit
Shit, there should be platters of those blueberry and strawberry kebabs celebrating the land of our ancestors all over and self-respecting July 4th barbecue. Fill up on all this shit before the real food even comes out since were talking super limited calories but lots of fiber. Same rules apply for the crudits plate that’s otherwise getting no love. Take advantage of the situation and load up on the earths bounty, bitch.
5. On The Rocks
Skip the beer and the mixed shit and put everything on the rocks if you dont want to be bloaty and farty on July 5th. Instead of your typical 300-plus-calorie margarita, pour some tequila over ice with a splash of lime (or, if you’re like me, a whole bunch of limes). If youre feeling rum or vodka, put it over ice with some fruit cubes you can steal from the fruit platter everyone is ignoring. Thomas Jefferson would have done the same shit.
WORST: 1. Fried Chicken
As we said during Memorial Day: Anything thats coated in buttermilk, flour, butter, and spices and or some combo of that shit and then deep fried isnt going to do you any favors when you step on the scale tomorrow. We understand that America was totally founded on life, liberty, and the right to be obese, but trust us when we say no one wants to grease dripping down your torso while you’re standing there in a bikini.
2. Potato Salad
Benjamin Franklin wouldnt have eaten this shit, so you shouldnt either. If you see a mayo-coated potato salad, just say no. If for some reason youre dying to be a fatass craving carbs, eat ONE hamburger bun or like, be annonying and make your host nuke a potato for you in the microwave for 6-8 minutes (the poor man’s baked potato). Potatoes have been on our shit list for a long time, so adding the word salad to the end does not make it any better.
3. Beer
The summer barbecue is not the place to show off your shot-gunning skills. Beer will bloat you, obviously. Although, if you need the beer to numb your feelings, opt for a light one. Grab a Coors Light or a Corona over the dark Guinness or Amber Ales. Who TF even brings Guinness to a July 4th party, though? You should call Immigration on them.
4. Ranch
I am convinced that ranch was conceived by enemies of AMERICA and given to us in an effort to make everyone so fat that they literally cant fight a war. Whoever did introduce is winning, too (the south will never rise again). A quarter cupwhich you could easily consume if youre standing and dunking every piece of celery into this shitweighs in at 220 calories and 22 grams of fat. Ditch this shit immediately.
5. Hot Dogs
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: hot dogs are fucking disgusting and they should not go anywhere near your mouth. They are made up of “poultry trimmings” aka mystery meats and filler plus water and corn syrup. Why is there corn syrup in your dinner meat? These are questions you should never have to ask. On top of that, all those chemicals in hot dogs could give you cancer. Even if you can’t think that long term, all that sodiuma Hebrew National will cost you 1,223 mg, AND THAT’S THE 97% FAT FREE KINDwill definitely make you bloat. I know hot dogs are like, the cornerstone of America, but I think they are also to blame for at least half of all the issues that currently plague our nation. Namely obesity. Just don’t do it.

New York City eases public drinking and urination laws before St Patrick’s Day
NYPD will issue summonses instead of arresting people for quality of life violations as critics say initiative does not do enough to decriminalize offenses
On Thursday, hundreds of thousands of partiers will take to New York City streets, awash in a sea of green beer, novelty T-shirts and cheap plastic beadsto follow long-held St Patricks Day tradition. But for the first time in recent history, those who decide to consume alcohol or relieve themselves on the streets wont be risking arrest in the process, according to the city.
Under a new joint initiative between the New York police department and the Manhattan district attorneys office, so-called quality of life violations like public urination and public consumption of alcohol will no longer expose citizens to the possibility of criminal charges. Instead, these crimes will be handled exclusively by issuing offenders a summons. The plan was announced on 1 March, and went into effect 7 March, just 10 days before the notoriously spirituous and rowdy holiday.
The DAs office described the policy as one that will allow the NYPD to devote its resources to investigating serious crimes, while further reducing the backlog of cases in criminal court. An internal review by the office determined that it could keep as many as 10,000 New Yorkers out of the system annually.
New York City mayor Bill de Blasio called the plan an intuitive and modern solution that would help safely prevent unnecessary jail time for low-level offenses.
Even New York police commissioner Bill Bratton, the pioneer of so-called broken windows policing that targets minor crimes as a tactic to prevent larger ones, expressed support. This new policy in Manhattan will save valuable police resources without jeopardizing the public safety, Bratton said.
The announcement came just a few weeks after city council speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito announced a sweeping criminal justice reform proposal in her state of the city address that would decriminalize quality of life offenses citywide and purge as many as 1.5m old summons warrants from the citys books.
On its face, the announcement seems like a positive step forward for advocates of criminal justice reform, but critics say the devil is in the details. Robert Gangi, the director of the Police Reform Organizing Project in New York, called the announcement a minor tweak and a distinction without difference.
Gangi noted that, although NYPD officers previously had full discretion to make arrests for these low-level violations, police generally only arrest people for these crimes when they have outstanding warrants, such as for a previous summons that hasnt been addressed.
Under the new initiative, officers who detain a quality of life offender are ordered to take that person directly to one of the Arraignment Parts of the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building to face a judge on both the summons matter and outstanding warrant, and be provided a public defender if they cannot afford to hire counsel. Gangi said that is, for all intents and purposes, an arrest, and called the language Orwellian.
A spokesperson for the DAs office confirmed that the majority of people affected by the initiative are those with outstanding warrants and without identification, but could not provide specific numbers. Under the old rules, a violator without ID had to be arrested on the spot; under the new initiative, that person can be taken to a precinct and given time to have someone bring their identification.
Johanna Miller, advocacy director for the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the city was right to address the issue but added that the limited program is no replacement for real summons reform.
A 2013 New York Daily News investigation into records obtained by the NYCLU revealed that nearly 2m summonses were issued between 2001 and 2013 for public drinking and urination, and that the vast majority were directed at black and Latino New Yorkers and located in the outer boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.
Gangi said the initiative was not just not enough, but that it was actually harmful to the project of structural reform because it gives the impression that government officials are making change. But the police and the DA will continue to engage in policies that target and harass people of color.
For St Patricks Day revelers, the city gives with one hand while taking away with the other. MTA officials announced Monday an alcohol ban on the citys Long Island and Upstate (Metro-North) rail lines for the holiday, in a continuation of a five-year-old policy. The only other days of the year that alcohol is banned from the lines are New Years Eve and the annual Santa-Con bar crawl.
Violators wont be arrested however the MTA has only announced plans to confiscate booze from riders.

The president Donald Trump has to envy
(CNN)As Franklin Delano Roosevelt approached the podium for his inaugural address in 1933, an economic crisis held Americans in a fierce, agonizing grip. One-quarter of adults could not find a job. Farmlands were desolate. Most of the nation’s banks were closed. And people had lost faith in their leaders in Washington.
