Oh man. I know there are people on my friends list who need to see this. (Hat tip to amywithani, from whom I stole the link.)

I'm curious as to who names a homeless shelter "Glory Hole". Heh. :-)

[rampling.livejournal.com]

It's like they must exist just to set up the headline!

[shadopanther.livejournal.com]

OR instead of what we all must be thinking of... it could be named after a gold mine, which were also called "glory holes" in the 1800s.

Ouch.

Note to self: Follow links from CJ only after swallowing.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Because you don't want to swallow after you've been to the Glory Hole?

Further note: Always clarify what you're swallowing. :)

I nearly sprayed my monitor when I read this.

Perverts. Which I why I associate with you folks in the first place.

[airporter.livejournal.com]

And that's why we all adore you.

I had seen the link, but that you posted it is just fucking awesome.

Sweet innocent me? All I know is that for some reason people seem to find it funny. Really, I'm sweet and innocent.

[shadopanther.livejournal.com]

Yup -- sweet & innocent. ;) It's probably named after a gold mine, right? ;)

Amusing headline and all that, but from another perspective...

What the government is saying here is "far better that these people go hungry than be exposed to a very small risk of getting sick." Instead of providing the information on the risks to the shelters and stressing how absolutely vital proper cooking and sanitation is, they tell the homeless to starve.

Plus, y'know, wild game may not have been injected with hormones, artificially fattened with grain-heavy diets, sprayed down with insecticides, and so on to a great enough extent to be declared "healthy".

All this, by the way, is for the good of the homeless, and they should be grateful that everybody is so concerned about their health.

It's pathetic, isn't it? If we didn't laugh at the headline, we'd be crying at the article. (Or angry. Me, more the angry.)

I actually didn't notice the headline at all, and was wondering who we call to complain.

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

priceless :) wonder if it was in all innocence, or if the headline writer slipped one past the editor.
