Even though attempting to sell your baby usually backfires, America's worst parents keep testing out this scheme anyway. In the latest example of alleged, attempted baby-peddling, a mom unsuccessfully tried to sell her newborn for the relatively paltry sum of $500 at her local Taco Bell. How undignified!

Studio@Gawker · 07/17/11 11:00AMAfter an agonizing wait, AMC's award-winning Breaking Bad is back for its fourth season—and you can get your first fix this Sunday. When last we saw chemistry teacher turned meth-maker Walter White, things had just gone from bad to really, really bad—and this season is looking just as bleak. And by bleak we mean nail-bitingly, explosively, gun-wieldingly, drug-dealingly badass.

Aaron Pace is a 22-year-old straight man from Gary, Indiana who wanted to donate blood at his local blood and plasma center. But after undergoing the usual interview and screening procedures, Pace asserts, he was told by members of the center's highly-trained Secret-Gay Detection Unit that he "appear[ed] to be a homosexual" and therefore couldn't donate.

Matt Cherette · 07/16/11 06:26PMKentucky Woman, Angered by Sentencing, Attacks Judge
Lauri Apple · 07/16/11 05:24PMJust like the "Kentucky Woman" Neil Diamond sang about, Melissa Harvick "shines with her own kind of light," you could say. Earlier this week, Harvick appeared at a family court hearing as the defendant in a dispute with her husband, who had filed a domestic violence order against her. While her husband tried to explain his side of the story to the presiding judge, Harvick allegedly interrupted him and wouldn't stop talking. This prompted the judge to sentence Harvick to ten days in jail for contempt of court. The jail sentence did not please Harvick very much, as you will soon come to understand by watching the video above.
Why Jet Packs and Live TV Don't Mix
Max Read · 07/16/11 04:45PMSure, you could see this video as a hilarious blooper and warning against live local news teasers involving advanced technology. Or you could see it as a beautiful lesson of failure and redemption, made literal in the person of the stocky wet guy rising from the sea powered only by his jet... pack... thing. [via The Hairpin]

Lauri Apple · 07/16/11 03:09PMYes, Human-on-Bird CPR Works
Max Read · 07/16/11 02:47PM
Haven't you always wondered if mouth-to-beak resuscitation—"bird CPR"—would actually work? Well! We can confirm that, yes, in at least one instance it has: Bend, Ore. veterinarian Jeff Cooney saved a bald eagle (named, boringly, "Patriot") this week by performing CPR on it. Patriot, whom Dr. Cooney is rehabilitating from an apparent car accident, was under anesthesia at the time; KTVZ provides the image above, though we're not sure if the photograph is a staged re-creation of the event or an actual action shot of the heroic lifesaving attempt. Either way, it's good to know that, in the event that you come across a dying bird, you may have a shot at saving its life. [KTVZ]

Important travel info(!!!): When Transportation Security Administration agents grope and grab your or your baby's body parts at airport security checkpoints, they're protecting America from terrorism. When prospective airplane passengers grope and grab TSA agents' body parts, it's felony sexual abuse.
