Fox and The Simpsons finalized a deal with Harry Shearer. Harry plays numerous supporting characters on the country's longest running animated sitcom.
Many fans felt that the lost of comedian/talk radio host Harry Shearer would end Fox's longtime animated series. Fear not, Harry's worked out a deal with Al Jean, James Brooks and creator Matt Groening. He signaled that he's down with the series for a few more seasons.
A few months back, Harry was not a happy camper when it came to his cut of the check. He said that for all the work he's contributed to the show, the quality of the product isn't benefiting him. He made it clear, if he's not getting paid enough, he's done.
He contributes to a vast majority of characters in The Simpsons hometown of Springfield.
Don't panic, Mr. Burns and Smithers will continue on The Simpsons.
To lose him would be the end of five major supporting characters.
Harry contributes to 20 supporting characters in the series.
The remaining cast have confirmed signing on to series for the next two seasons. Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria are down with the series.
All have been in their roles since 1989.
Dan Castellaneta - Homer, Krusty, Itchy, Bumblebee Man Santa's Little Helper, and others.
Julie Kavner - Marge, Patty and Selma.
Nancy Cartwright - Bart, Nelson, Milhouse, Maggie, Ralph Wiggum and others.
Yeardley Smith - Lisa
Hank Azaria - Apu, Moe, Chief Wiggum, Carl, Prof. Frink, and others.
Harry Shearer - Flanders, Seymour Skinner, Lenny, Smithers, Mr. Burns, Dr. Hibbert, and others.
The racist right found its newest boogeyman, a 12-year old Nebraska boy who will be charged as an adult in the murder of a man in a botched armed robbery.
Jarrell Milton was caught by the law aided by the U.S. Marshals.
He was hanging out in Minneapolis over a stack of miles from the city of Omaha.
The conservative Craigslist of course linked the story to The Smoking Gun website. I wouldn't be surprised that the first thing to come in social media word vomit section is NIGGER or OBAMA.
Newser and Huffington Post have also reported this story. Milton, his brother Jamar and friend Shuntayvious Primes-Willis lured two men into a park in Omaha. They were selling some baggies of Mary Jane.
Instead, the crew used their Second Amendment right to robbed the tricks.
One victim was wounded and one victim was killed.
According to prosecutors, the three alleged assailants were tied to street gangs.
Shuntayvious Primes-Willis is 15 and Jamar Milton is 17. They are being charged as adults for first-degree murder. That charge for them could carry life in the iron college. Nebraska ended the death card last year despite pleas from its Republican governor and state lawmakers.
Teens will be charged as adults in a botched robbery that led to murder.
Police have recovered two guns used during the crime and are searching for the third weapon.
Jarrell Milton will be heading to juvie time out. Investigators did not disclose how the boy made his trip up to the Twin Cities. But rest assured that Milton's friends and family will be charged if they aided him on his mission to elude state authorities.
Again the Milton brothers and Primes-Willis are innocent until proven guilty. They will face a court date in August.
Okay concern trolls what will you post in the social media?
A) If I had a son, would he be like Jarrell.
B) This little thug and his buddies.....
C) Will Obama, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson say something about this.
D) You see racial violence is caused by Blacks....
E) I would have......
F) All of these above
When it comes to crime, it's a matter of what race does it the most! That's what our friends in the conservative media harp on.
Crime doesn't discriminate. A person commits a crime based on opportunities. A person doesn't care about the life, the property or the monetary of the victim.
That's why crime is called the thrill of opportunity.
World News Today send our condolences to the victim Tamell Gray and send our prayers to Charles Fisher.
TV icon Jared Fogle under investigation for child porn.
Jared Fogle lives outside of Indianapolis. He and his family didn't expect a "NO KNOCK" at 6am.
The spokesman for fast food giant Subway had his home raided this morning. Fogle became the face of Subway after his friend published the story of a 6'2'' 425 lb. Indiana University freshman taking action on his weight. Jared would visit the local Subway in his apartment building. He would take motives to lose the fat and stands proudly at 200 lbs.
Now you can say that he's lost his $$$$$$$ gig. Apparently he's been fired out the cannon.
He has been active in recruiting kids, athletes and entertainers in the Subway Challenge.
Subway restaurants are located within the United States, Canada, and 108 other countries.
I swear on my life, there's a Subway Restaurant within two blocks of one another. There are over 44,000 restaurants. You find the United States either in Walmart, a gas station, a truck stops, shopping malls, stand alone stores, college campuses, cruise ships, airports, and military bases.
My god, there everywhere.
He and his former business partner are under investigation for harboring child porn.
Subway had put the brakes on Jared for the time being.
The FBI raided the Zionsville home in the early. The 37 year old pitchman for the fast food giant is facing controversy over allegedly harboring child pornography. The investigation centered around Russell Taylor, a former business partner for The Jared Foundation, an organization devoted to ending childhood obesity. Taylor is already in the county lockup awaiting trial. He was busted two months ago for harboring porn.
First Lady Michelle Obama at Subway. Jared Fogle is on the far left.
Taylor tried to put the bed sheets over his neck but failed when correction guards got to him. Now on suicide watch, Taylor is spilling the beans. He is fingering Fogle as the ringleader.
So of course, that's why the NO KNOCK came.
Officials at Subway's Milford, Conn., corporate headquarters issued a statement expressing shock about the search.
“We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee," the statement read. "We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don’t have any more details at this point.”
The Indianapolis Star and the AP report that the controversy may have damaged Fogle's legacy.
Subway said in a statement that it is "very concerned" about the raid, which it believes "is related to a prior investigation" of a former employee of the Jared Foundation, an organization founded by Fogle to raise awareness about childhood obesity. Subway did not immediately say whether that employee was former foundation executive director Russell Taylor.
The company had removed references to Fogle from its website by late afternoon and issued another statement, saying the two "have mutually agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation."
"Jared continues to cooperate with authorities and he expects no actions to be forthcoming," the company said. "Both Jared and Subway agree that this was the appropriate step to take."
Federal prosecutors in May filed a criminal complaint charging Taylor, 43, with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Fogle issued a statement after the charges were filed saying he was shocked by the allegations and was severing all ties with Taylor.
The Indianapolis Star photographed Fogle stepping out of a police evidence van parked outside his home Tuesday morning, and he left the house just after noon with attorney Ron Elberger. Fogle declined to comment, but Elberger later released a statement saying his client is cooperating with authorities.
"Jared has been cooperating, and continues to cooperate, with law enforcement in their investigation of unspecified charges, and looks forward to its conclusion," Elberger said.
During a search of Taylor's home this spring, federal investigators say they discovered a cache of sexually explicit photos and videos Taylor allegedly produced by secretly filming minor children at the home. They said they also allegedly found more than 400 videos of child pornography on computers and storage media recovered from Taylor's home office in his Indianapolis residence.
Taylor's attorney, Brad Banks, said Tuesday his client was briefly hospitalized after the allegations surfaced but is now in federal custody. Sheriff's officials have said Taylor tried to take his own life in jail.
"The only thing I can say is that I'm aware that there's an ongoing investigation," Banks said.
Tim Horty, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Indianapolis, said prosecutors "are moving forward" with the case against Taylor. He declined to comment on Tuesday's raid at Fogle's home.
Neighbors said Fogle and his wife entertained frequently and would say hello but that they didn't see the couple outside a lot.
Jacob Schrader, 19, who lives across from Fogle's house, said the pitchman seems "like a pretty private guy" and that he'd only seen him about a dozen times in the last five or six years.
"He's like an endangered species or something like that," Schrader said.
Subway, which is based in Milford, Connecticut, and is privately held, has struggled in recent years. Last year, industry tracker Technomic said average sales for Subway stores in the U.S. declined 3 percent from the previous year. The company has about 44,000 locations around the world.
Shocking. What's your thoughts on this controversy?
It just got worse. Now entertainer Bill Cosby officially loses his cash cow. The Cosby Show, A Diff'rent World, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids and his movies are pulled from the roster.
The damage has now effected everything with his name on it suffers.
The law is searching for recent victims now that entertainer Bill Cosby admitted to spiking the punch.
He's facing an onslaught of lawsuits from women who claimed that he rape them. Some are telling the junk food media that he slips knock out drugs in the drinks. On occasions he inappropriately touch them. He was forced to pay up a couple of women in disclosed cases.
The AP got a hold of the disclosed cases. Cosby's attorneys were trying to keep them sealed. The judge ordered them unsealed and the AP broke the story last night.
Soon after the release, Cosby saw his world collapse before his eyes.
I Spy, The Bill Cosby Show, The New Bill Cosby Show, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, The Electric Company, The Cosby Show, A Diff'rent World, Kids Say The Darnedest Things, Little Bill, Fatherhood, Cosby and movies featuring entertainer Bill Cosby are off the air.
Every historically Black college dropped Cosby's name from the roster. His comedy tour is suspended indefinitely. Bookstores and music stores are pulling his comedy albums, his television shows on DVD, and his books.
Bounce TV pull everything Cosby. Bounce TV ends A Diff'rent World and Fat Albert. They will avoid playing movies featuring Cosby.
Viacom's Centric on BET, TV Land, Nick At Nite and MTV 2 dropped The Cosby Show and Cosby.
This could be the end for America's favorite TV dad!
Now celebrity chef Paula Deen is trying to rebuild her image.
But today, the representatives for Paula and Bobby Deen tell the junk food media that her social media posting of Bobby in blackface was reckless. They posted on Twitter and it was quickly scrubbed after the outrage.
Deen wanted to do her best "I Love Lucy" impression. So she decides to throw on a red wig and the trademark dress Lucille Ball wore and Bobby decided to put a little brown in his act. In order to look like Ball's real life husband Desi Arnaz, Bobby slapped some brown makeup on and wore the sweater vest.
Bobby getting a work over.
Harmless parody?
A few years back, a shocking lawsuit came forth telling the junk food media that Deen and her sons were disrespecting Black customers at her Georgia restaurants.
She and her son even uttered NIGGER to a female worker.
Not funny.
Walmart and other national brands severed ties with her. Deen's restaurants took a nosedive during the first quarter of 2014.
She went to the junk food media to tearfully make an apology. The first time she apologized, she acted like it wasn't a big deal. So the second time, must have been the charm.
Roku was about to help Deen back into the mainstream. The Paula Deen Network was scrubbed.
You know that Jamie also caught flack too. At one of the restaurants that Paula owns, he the manager of the place. He wanted to be a real comedian. So he asked his older Black staffer to pose in a picture with him and they do a lip lock while Jamie's wife took the picture.
That went viral.....Jamie was forced to apologize for this picture.
Bobby and Jamie are celebrity chefs like their mom.
Riot gear displayed in response to a riot. Cincinnati mayor tells the junk food media that the MLB All Star Game will be safe and this incident was isolated. The law says this wasn't a race crime. The concern trolls already determined it was.
Cincinnati's mayor John Cranley has put the nail in the coffin. He decided to end events at Fountain Square after reports of a riot happening after a hip-hop concert. It happened at the bus transit terminal off of Fifth Street.
A minor event sparked by words between exchanged between the victim and a group of teens. In the video, it shows one of the teens throwing the victim to the ground. One teen grabbed the susepct off him. Then the victim leaves for a moment. Then returns with his hands up in a threatening matter. The next video shows him getting laid out. He ends up with a five knuckle roll on his face.
He ends up with a broken nose and a concussion.
Cranley admits that the police weren't dispatched properly.
Around 3,000 people appeared at Fountain Square for the performance of hip-hop group Ground Up.
Cincinnati Police tries to put out a fire with piss. The officer who took the report claimed that it was anti-White violence.
The concert ended at 10:30pm but I guess as people were leaving the concert. That's when the fight happened around 11:00pm.
Police chief Jeffery Blackwell said that police were dispatched to the area on reports of numerous fights and have made arrests of the individuals who were caught on camera.
Also Blackwell had to put a cap on other officers who feel freely to express opinions. One officer wrote a police report the junk food media obtained. It's telling stories of anti-White behavior by some involved.
The Cincinnati police dismissed that comment.
Capt. Mike Neville said that description was incorrect.
He spoke just minutes after The Enquirer had obtained the incident report and posted a story on its contents.
In an interview later in the afternoon, Neville said categorizing the assault as a hate crime was the opinion of reporting officer Alicia Essert. She drew that conclusion, Neville said, because McKnight was attacked by a group of people from the "opposite race."
It is too early in the investigation to determine whether race motivated the assault, Neville said.
No one has been charged in connection with McKnight's beating, which occurred after a hip-hop concert at Fountain Square.
The incident report states McKnight, of Albany, Indiana, was jumped on and beaten during an "unruly crowd situation stemming from (the) Fountain Square event" around 11:30 p.m. The assault lasted five minutes.
There were less than 10 officers handling security. Although hip-hop concerts carry a presence of possible criminal activity, the need for full officer assistance was carried out extremely well given the situation.
The victim's name was released. World News Today send our prayers to Christopher McKnight.
The men in the post above are Gary Sheffield and Jy Quynn Britten. They were charged with disorderly conduct. They are innocent until proven guilty.
The people who knocked out McKnight are sought.
The MLB's All Star Game is being played at Great American Ballpark and Cranley wants no more incidents like this to occur. Believe me, Cincinnati is trying to rebound after the death of Officer Sonny Kim.
Last month shooting death of Officer Sonny Kim has opened a disconnect yet again between the Black community and the Cincinnati police.
Kim was gravely wounded after a deranged man threatened to kill himself. The suspect was accused of molestation and called 911 urging cops to put a slug in him. He aimed at Kim and struck him in his bulletproof vest. Kim's injuries were worse than expected and he would die. The suspect died after eating a lead sandwich.
Cincinnati has reeled from racial unrest after the killing of Timothy Thomas in 2001 by Officer Stephen Roach. There were three nights of riots in the Over The Rhine district. The civil rights leaders imposed an economic boycott of the city which still exists.
Clifford "T.I." Harris, founder of Hustle Gang Music was a scheduled performer in Cincinnati in 2005. He had to watch a friend take a dirt nap. Philant Johnson lost his life after unidentified shooters put slugs in their tour vehicle. The media mogul and some of his crew left a melee at a club. As they were heading to a local hotel, I guess that's when the shooting occurred. T.I. vowed never to perform in Cincinnati again.
A new player in the racial agitator business. Jim Hoft, the founder of The Gateway Pundit has relished in "race" stories. He's following the footsteps of dead agitator Andrew Breitbart. Jim Hoft, Charles C. Johnson and Colin Flaherty are panderers of White extremism.
Jim Hoft runs The Gateway Pundit, a popular conservative blog.
Hoft is a concern troll like many agitators in the media. Every event that involves Black criminals on White people is a "race crime" according to this douche and the other asshat Colin Flaherty.
Many observers view The Gateway Pundit as a panderer to White extremism.
Hoft is a racial agitator who relishes in kookspiracies about Muslims, immigrants and Black people.
The conservative Craigslist often links Hoft's stories. The Gateway Pundit stories have been mentioned by many agitators on the AM dial.
Hoft is a 50 something White dork who wants to be the next Andrew Breitbart. Hopefully he doesn't have the heart condition that put Breitbart in the dirt.
But goddamn it, he shouldn't never of have done it. You can't fix stupid!
You can't replace a life. You only have one life and that's it. Devon Staples a young man from a Maine city just a few miles from the Canadian border wanted to show off. He wanted to do a trick that he saw on the social media. It cost him his life.
World News Today send our condolences to Devon Staples and every victim of firework tragedies.
So many people fail to realize that these are dangerous explosives. I mean if you're not using it right, you lose an appendage or your life.
He was a great entertainer.
Staples blew his head off after he got drunk and decided to put a firework projectile on his head.
Matter of fact, there were over 400 cases of incidents where people messing with fireworks were injured or killed this year alone.
Staples did some part time work acting at Disney World as a character actor. The AP reached out to his family. They said that this event was an accident.
Staples, 22, of Calais, a small city on the Canadian border, placed a reloadable fireworks mortar tube on his head and told his friends he was going to light it, McCausland said. But his friends urged him to stop.
"Apparently, he thought that was a great idea," McCausland said. "His friends they thought dissuaded him from doing it, and the next thing they knew, he ignited the fireworks and he was killed instantly."
Staples's brother Cody told the Daily News of New York that he was a few feet away when his brother lit the firework and was the first to come to his side after it exploded.
"There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there," said 25-year-old Cody Staples, who called it an accident.
"Devon was not the kind of person who would do something stupid. He was the kind of person who would pretend to do something stupid to make people laugh," he said.
Staples' death is the first fireworks fatality in Maine since the state legalized fireworks on Jan. 1, 2012, authorities said.
Man put one of these firework projectiles on the top of his head.
Lawmakers had voted to repeal a 1949 law banning fireworks, reasoning the industry would create jobs and generate revenue.
State fire marshals were also investigating several other Fourth of July fireworks accidents involving injuries in Friendship, Jefferson, Lebanon and Woodstock. They said most of the accidents involved burns and eye injuries.
In Montana on Saturday, a 32-year-old man was killed at a Billings home in a fireworks accident involving a mortar tube.
And in New Jersey, a 52-year-old man blew off a large piece of his left leg below the knee when he set off a tennis-ball sized firework in Leonia.
