What the fuck is wrong with rich people? Save your money and adopt a kid. Jesus Christ. Give the money to someone that needs it - not a fucking fertility doctor who is going to take your money to redo the kitchen on his Hamptons beach house.

how does the picture for "extra, extra" get chosen?

Gothamist's patented "retarded monkey in a cage" technique - show monkey photos, monkey points to photo, photo is used for extra extra.

the rapes that occurred in the residential treatment center, would they be considered hate crimes if the rapists were black and the patients who were repeatedly raped white?
if they went back again to rape the same white girl is that a hate crime?
otherwise, if it's black girls raped, nevermind, I don't care.
what about the rapist who raped a Young japanese woman last week, is that a hate crime?
