craigslistTonight Top Topic: Should Craigslist be allowed to run erotic services ads?
 The show started with fred doing his “sexy voice.” (Did any women think it was sexy?)  Then they went into a discussion that Morgan wants Brotha’ Fred to drop the Brotha’ Fred name and to use his real name. She said she is “aging you up.”  to Fred.  Although he did give his real name yesterday I decided not to post it as not sure whether he really wants to use it. Not that it is hidden to the world as he does have it posted in places. Does it matter?
 Since the “Craigslist Killer” (why do we give criminals fancy names that evoke celebrity status?) Philip Markoff and the murder investigation surrounding it became public there are calls coming out against erotic ads on craigslist. Marhoff is accused of robbing two women, killing 26 year old Julissa Brisman by luring them to upscale hotels. He found the women through ads on the craigslist website. John Burgess recently pleaded guily to involuntary manslaughter in California in the death of a woman he met through Craigslist. In Florida police arrested a registered sex offender who advertised on Craigslist for massages even though he did not have a license.
 South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has requested Craigslist take down ads related to prostitution or pornography or face prosecution. They have until May 15 to comply.
 The Edge crew found there are over 1000 ads in the erotic category of Charlotte Craigslist. Many have naked pictures. 
 Fox Charlotte’s
Lyra Manning appeared on the Edge (FIrst time) and talked about Trench Reynolds who has a blog dedicated to crimes and scams related to craigslist. Lyra had a segment on Fox News @ Ten.
 Craigslist does say it donates all proceeds from the erotic ads to charity.
 Morgan pointed out if someone posting an ad includes prices for sexual services – that is prostitution. How is the police not able to go in and get these people? She went on to say We do see some of that.
 Fred mentioned some other sections like the personals offer the same kind of thing. (Makes me wonder how much time fred spends reading personals on craigslist)

After the break we see Fred doing his “white boy dance.” (Hopefully for the last time.)

57360740Kiefer Sutherland assaulted a fashion designer this week. The star of the Fox series 24 turned himself into police. The head-butting incident involed Jack McCollough who is reported to have bumped into Brooke Shields and did not apoligize. Sutherland will be charged with a third degree assault charge. It was discussed that this could be a violation of his probation and could go back to jail for 10 months. There are reports that Sutherland’s lawyers are trying to reach a cash settlement with McCollough.

Two crashes have taken place near where Nicholas Cage is filming an upcoming movie, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The latest crash involes an SUV not involved in the filming,  hit a parked car at 3:28am. Nine people had to be treated for injuries. An earlier accident happend when a ferrari jumped a curb and crashed into a time square restaurant around 1am. Two people were injured. The ferrari was filming a scene for the movie at the time.

As reported on this website earlier, Drew Peterson was arrested this afternoon in the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio in 2004. Peterson is quoted as saying “I guess I should have returned those library books” as he entered police headquarters.
 Fred brought up that “its perplexing that someone else wants to be with him.” (referring to his fiancie Christina Raines) Morgan responded like last night, “a fiancie with idiot written across her forehead.”

0506_carrie_letter_wm_1Miss California Carrie Prejean has a new job offer – Porno Queen. Vivid entertainment offered Carrie a million dollars to star in an adult film. Vivid executives said they were impressed with her eloquence. Morgan & Fred thought they might be impressed with “two” other things. Fred said she should do it. Morgan “as long as its guy on girl what does she care.” Fred replied as long as its opposite. If same sex porn then its not alright. (Read the letter Vivid sent to Carrie Prejean here as posted on tmz.com)

A woman who has terminal cancer is getting tattoos of all her 20 pets so she can “take them with her to the grave.” Jayne Jubb, 47 who has pets including raccoons, a piranha, reptiles and a fox wants all of them included. Her husband at first thought she was crazy but now is going along with it.

We heard from teh Edge line and some viewers suggested anything should be allowed to advertise on craigslist. Morgan responded to that why not let drug dealers sell drugs. Fred brought up to let people sell their kids. (actually selling kids is specifically not allowed by craigslist.)

Update – Drew Peterson

Drew Peterson tonight has ben charged with murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio’s death.
Last night on Fox Newsedge was talk about Drew Peterson being offered a job at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. This idea of Drew Peterson, his celebrity status in regards this job offer and is fiancie who knowing the history of Mr. Peterson outlined last night by Morgan Fogarty on the Edge still is ready to marry him all seemed preposterous.
Now prosecutors have stated there is suffcient evidence to charge Drew Peterson. Originally Kathleen Savio’s death was considered an accident. She was found dead in a dry bathtub and thought to be a suicide by drowning. It was after the dissapearance of Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson that the body was exhumed and a determination that Savio may have been a homicide made to look like a suicide. Drew peterson was arrested today during a traffic stop in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

schoolbus
On day off they can race School Buses!

Tonight’s Top Topic: Should schools consider a four day week?
School districts across the country are struggling with debt and doing what they can to avoid cutting teachers. A study by the University of Washing (a school has to have a study about schools?) predicts 570,000 positions could be eliminated in the next three years plus savings from heating, cooling and busing. Broward County Schools in Florida, which is the fifth largest school district expects to save $30 million but awaits approval from teachers. To accomodate a shorter week school days will have to be extended.  Some schools already have it.  One school district in Arizona has had a four day week since the 1980’s.
 Some say a shorter week brings better morale and less missed days of school. Some parents who do not work, love it because they get to spend more time with their kids and it makes it easier to schedule things like doctor appointments. Critics though say if both parents work there is child care for an extra day. Morgan said she can see both sides. Fred said it would be a long day for kids. Maybe 10 hours. And Morgan brought up that the kids would need an extra meal while at school.
 They asked why not have some teaching done online. MoFo said even young kids can use a computer. They usually teach their parents.
  It then on the show seemed like a Lovers fight between Fred & Morgan! Fred complained about the abuse the last few nights. Morgan said he gives her “softball pitches over home plate.” She asked if Fred would play software for Fox Charlotte this weekend in Shelby. Fred replied “They don’t let him go to Shelby.” Morgan finally realized after a couple of minutes they went waaayyyyy off topic.
 Fred said he is not for changing the five day week. Morgan said she was torn and needed to listen to viewer feedback first. (I would have loved to hear what was talked about during the break!)


And then there was three. Allison Iraheta was sent home on American Idol. Fred said he now hates the show. He will not watch it. But he did tell us the viewers we should watch because the station needs the money.  Both Morgan & Fred liked Allison. Morgan is sick of Adam Lambert. (Maybe this is a sign people are just getting sick of the whole American Idol show?) Fred stated he thinks Allison is the next Kelly Clarkson.
 Also reported is that Paula Abdul has admitted to a pain killer addiction. (Is this a surprise to anyone?) She had denied these rumours for years. Fred suggested Paula should have taken some pills tonight. It was remarked that Paula lipsynced during her rendition of “I’m just here for the music.” (There are already reports that she did not even sing it.)
 Fred called Morgan really mean.

asu-undie-run-3-groupAt Arizona State University, thousands of students stripped down to their undies and ran around the campus. All the clothing they stripped off was shipped to a charity. (Guessing they didn’t wear their best clothes to the event.) It is called the Undie Race for Charity and this was the second year for the event. Fred called the footage shown a waste of a news chopper. The coverage should have been from the ground. Morgan replied that it was to avoid showing any poential “parts” you shouldn’t see.
 Last year the group was charged $2000 for damage. Fred said there is not a bad looking person who goes there. The odds of seeing delicousnous are pretty good. (Guess that means good things for
asu-undie-run-20092-kissme as I went to ASU for a year. ) He asked Morgan if she would like to see a beefy college 21 year old. She said no.

Here is one for you Morgan!

Drew Peterson was offered a job at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch as a #2 man to owner and former guest on the NewsEdge Dennis Hof. Peterson would then appear on the HBO show Cathouse that takes place at the Nevada brothel. (this same job was offered to Rod Blagojevich.) He said he is considering the job.
 MoFo brought up Peterson’s fiancie and why would she be with someone who is suspected in the dissapearance of one wife, in the death of antoher wife and might work at a brothel. She asked does this woman “Have idiot written across your forehead?” (no, but think she has the t-shirt.)
 For those that want to know, his fiancie is Christina Raines who is 24 years old. Her parents think she is crazy and just a few months ago threw her out of their home. Peterson is 55. Stacy Peterson was 25 when she went missing in 2007. Raines has stated publicly she does not believe any of the allegations. They  met at a bar.

A county goverment in China is telling its staff to smoke 230,000 packs of cigarettes a year. (one way of handling layoffs) The tax on cigarettes would then help the local economy. If they don’t smoke they will be fined. Fred stated they have a population problem so it might solve it. A million deaths in China each year are attributed to smoking. Side Effects:
Fred: Bad breath, dirty fingers.
Morgan: Your eggs die slowly if you are a woman.

A woman in south Florida found the word God in her salami. While she was cooking the letters appeared in the sliced pieces of salami. Morgan said it really spells Dog. (Can not believe neither Fred or Morgan figured it out. The salami spells out: OGD. That is a trademark and stands for Old Grand- Dad, bourbon whiskey. She probably drank too much of it.)
 Fred said it sounds like a pickup line. “Is that God in yoru salami?”

Look for Fred’s Harley on Friday. Whatever that is about. We will have to watch to find out.
