James Tracy thinks journalists get a lot of things wrong. He thinks journalists mindlessly ingest whatever false narrative the U.S. government provides and plop it into the news inches as fact. He thinks journalism is corrupt. He thinks journalism is incompetent. He thinks journalism is weak. But at least we…
Men speaking in strange tongues call Rick Ross late in the night and ask him questions involving matters he has no knowledge of. In English more broken than Tim Tebow’s NFL chances, they ply him for info on his next ill beat. They croon how much they love his jam…
Fuck you, Jared. The Subway chain has a new advertising campaign — the “Harlem Shake.” But unlike the unremitting charm of the Jared Campaign, the sandwich king just can’t seem to get this one right. (Or at least a recent lawsuit alleges.)…
Yesterday, Olivia Sprauer, a brunet bombshell who was fired from her teaching job at Martin County High School last month for being too sexy — and yes, uploading nudie pics of herself — exploded the internet. The former English teacher, who is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University, made it…
There are crimes — the sort we normally write about; stealing, killing, abusing, drug dealing, and drug abusing. And then there are crimes. That’s what Florida man Eric Prokopi was into. His misdeed involved stealing dinosaur fossils, smuggling them into the United States, and then selling them while managing his…
The Florida Legislature is kind of like that family friend who comes and crashes your pad for two weeks, rearranges everything in your cupboards, tells you exactly what kind of person you are, and then leaves so you can live in the mess they just created. After two more quick…
There are several things that Brian Andrews absolutely does not like. For one, the CBS4 newscaster doesn’t like being videotaped in public by strangers. He also doesn’t like explaining why he doesn’t like being videotaped in public in strangers. He furthermore doesn’t like law firms — they may be out…
Nerds, rejoice! A frat bro was served his comeuppance! The day is ours! Alex Fanaian, former president of the FAU fraternity Iota Nu, was arrested on Sunday after police found him naked, bound with metal hangers, totally schwasted, bro, and having just sprayed a fire extinguisher all over his neighbor’s…
You know that guy who you follow on Twitter because he’s so stupid his tweets make you want to punch yourself in the face and hurl yourself out of the window? Mike Wallace is that guy. Today he jettisoned some plain stoopid comments regarding NBA player Jason Collins’ announcement that…
Months after stinging public rebuke and the condemnation of hundreds of dog owners, Broward County Commissioner Barbara Sharief has canceled requests for a pit bull ban and instead called for a “culture” that makes it mandatory to neuter and spay canines and more regulation on “backyard” dog breeding. Following two…
Dear Stoner, We understand how you’re feeling. Dark and formidable challenges lay before you. While the rest of the nation — especially Washington and Colorado — takes strides to normalize diplomatic relations with marijuana, Florida has moved in the other direction. Yesterday was the most recent declaration of war, but…
The mother of the two Chechnyan men accused of perpetrating the Boston bombing has announced she’s in support of the same theory James Tracy has championed — namely, that the Boston bombing was a hoax. “There was no blood,” Zubeidat Tsarnaev told CNN. “It was paint.” See also: – FAU’s…
There are certain things one shouldn’t do immediately after netting charges that are abhorrent and humiliating, à la bestiality or anything involving children. Like, say, blogging about real estate. Even if you’re a realtor. The clients can wait. We promise…
FAU tenured Professor James Tracy, who took some withering backlash earlier this year when he questioned whether a gunman had actually killed children at Sandy Hook Elementary, is back at it. This time, Tracy — who makes more than $60,000 per year in public money and teaches courses on conspiracy…
A strange thing happens when you’re catapulting through the upper layers of the troposphere, upside down, and inside a plane that weighs less than 500 pounds. Your higher synapses suddenly shut down, and while the rational part of your brain knows — knows — you’re completely safe, that you’re with…
Though it may seem too good to be true, Bobbie Bauman’s fly ride is street legal. Instead of car seats, the 1949 Ford has lawn chairs latched inside its frame. Rather than a coolant container, it’s got a Jack Daniel’s bottle. Instead of steering-wheel pleather, there’s motorcycle chain. The car’s…
Yesterday, the Sun Sentinel ran a front page feature story on Larry Lawton, a local celebrity jewel thief selling his tale of criminality and incarceration in a new book called Gangster Redemption, but left out just one key fact. Larry Lawton just wants to masturbate in prison in peace…
South Florida’s largest newspaper has finally snagged its first Pulitzer Prize, the award committee at Columbia University announced this afternoon.

Following one of the most unusual federal rulings in recent history, which barred a Haitian-American journalist from publishing the Haitian prime minister’s name, District Judge Ursula Ungaro lifted her judgment in Miami court yesterday, granting Leo Joseph his First Amendment rights. Which means: Booya. Grab your popcorn — this defamation…
There are moments, in between stories detailing FAU’s most recent gaffe or a fresh Floriderp, that we stop for a moment and wonder. What’s happened to Loki Boy?…
One day at a Fort Lauderdale company called Florida Security Protection, a supervisor pulled an employee, Daphney Beljour, into the bathroom on her second day of work and she started screaming. Then the associate — named Omar in a lawsuit filed in federal court — allegedly did something that made…
