Wow. Fox News has blown my mind yet again. Sure the ad may not have been the best move on the part of the Denmark Tourism board, but Fox has proved for the umteenth time that it is chock-full of rude, narrow-minded jerks. The fake accent? Denmark is not a country? I guess I just don't find American superiority humor to be that amusing. I did enjoy the other videos though. The Swiss Mountain Cleaning one had EXCELLENT production values for its topic! Um… Wow. Fox News has blown my mind yet again.

One of those tidbits you carry around in the back of your mind. My folks didn't share news stories with us much, but I think I remember my mom referring to the serial killings at least once when I was growing up, although they were long before I was around.

How utterly disgusting and facsinating at the same time...and who knew Eliot Ness was involved?

No comment. I'm representing North Broadway, myself. I'm glad I didn't know I lived within a few hundred feet of Kingsbury Run until AFTER we moved. LOL “Don’t slow down in East Cleveland”.
