If someone approached you and told you that you could look fashionable while doing yard work or going for a hike, you should probably walk away with your dignity before it’s too late. Teva has launched what seems to be the most horrendously dangerous hiking high heel — and we want to know why (or do we?) for the low low price of $330USD. You’ve gotta be kidding, right? Nope! We’re going to go out on a limb (before you lose a limb attempting to climb a mountain in them) and dub these as anything but safe for  women with active lifestyles.

If you’re actually wanting to go for a hike, we recommend running shoes, or actual hiking boots. So please, don’t buy these ankle-breakers. You’ll thank us later.

Teva high heels, perfect for yard work!

What do you get when you combine an energy drink that makes your heart race uncontrollably, and an imbalanced amount of booze in a single canned malt beverage? FOUR LOKO!

Four Loko boasts a 12% alc. volume per can, which is roughly double the percentage of your average beer, and then some. And it’s in a massive can.

This controversial drink has actually been featured in a news story where a 20 year old male decided to get blackout-wasted and break into a woman’s house completely unclothed.

In this tough economy lots of people are juggling more than one job, but for one man in Homestead, Pa., his attempts to moonlight as a criminal are affecting his odds of finding legitimate work.  After filling out a detailed job application at a Pittsburgh area Subway restaurant, he left and proceeded to commit an armed robbery just outside.

Police had no trouble tracking him down, and with his application form in hand they located the suspect’s mother, who informed authorities what bus her son was on. The aspiring sandwich artist was arrested and is currently being held in custody. Police have not released any information as to his identity or what was stolen, but we’re pretty sure that he’s not going to get called back for an job interview.

An Austrian lad has learned a painful lesson in fire management after attempting to put out a fire with his own body.  The thirteen year old boy and his 10 year old companion poured gasoline down a playground slide and then ignited it. In a leap of logic that would make any parent cringe, the boy then decided to put out the flames by hurling his body down the blazing slide, setting his pants and underwear on fire in the process.

Hospitalized with second degree burns, the boy first concocted a tale of masked attackers to explain his burned bottom, but eventually confessed. Although too young to be charged with any offenses, his parents are still on the hook for the damage to the playground and no doubt the young man will be mocked with many a verse of liar, liar pants on fire over the next few weeks.

Gabriel Lopez, the new president of Ford in Mexico is blaming crime cartel’s love for his company’s vehicles for a slump in sales. “The (sale) of big pick-ups for personal use has fallen because of insecurity. It is the only segment that has,” said Lopez.

Members of local drug cartels are commonly stealing trucks like the Ford Lobo to use in attacks against rival cartels and law enforcement. Drivers of Lobo’s are often victims of vehicle profiling; being stopped by local soldiers and security forces under suspicion they are criminals or getting themselves killed after being mistaken for hit men from another gang.

We’re got a solution to the problem though. Stop naming the trucks after vicious animals and go for a new theme.  How many drug dealers want to be seen riding around in a Ford Pansy or a Dodge Unicorn?

Ever since airport security has tightened up since the events of September 11, 2001, there have been a few cases of people slipping through the cracks of airport security with suspicious items.

In this case however, an elderly looking caucasian male boarded a plane in Hong Kong bound for Vancouver, British Columbia got aboard the plane and slipped into the lavatory of the plane, and walked out as a mid-twenties asian man.

Wearing a very uniquely detailed silicon mask, the young man was flagged as a possible impostor according to a Canadian Border Service Agency intelligence alert. Border agents had been suspicious of him pre-flight, because his face appeared so old and wrinkled, but his hands were apparently very soft, supple, and wrinkle-free.

The passenger in question boarded the plane with only an Aeroplan card, with the intention to seek refugee status in Canada. Kudos to him.

Border agents are calling this an “unbelievable case of identity concealment.”

We’re surprised that it wasn’t a Johnny Knoxville prank – the Jackass alumni that occasionally dresses as an old man with the help of Spike Jonze (director of ‘Where the Wild Things Are‘.)

The man’s name has not been released by the authorities was met by Canadian security, and he did declare refugee status after customs.

He allegedly swapped boarding passes with an American man born in the 1950’s.

Kyle James Eckert may have great taste in shoes, but he lacked the panache to carry out his latest attempt at shoplifting.  The 22 year old picked out a pair of size 10 heels, wandered over to the dressing room and slipped them on before attempting to stroll out of the store.

It didn’t take security long to spot him as he teetered his way to the doors, and he was stopped just outside Khol’s department store doors red handed, or in this case red footed. He is facing charges of Felony Retail Theft and as an added bonus, Giving Police a false name, no doubt because he was afraid of what his friends would say if they knew he liked to wear women’s shoes.
