10 Politically Incorrect Truths About People
According to psychologists Alan Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa, these instincts are not politically correct. The pair say men are classically conditioned to love busty blondes, beautiful people are more likely to have daughters, and they explain why most suicide bombers are Muslim. Psychology Today put together a fascinating read on ten of these findings, adapted from Miller and Kanazawa's 2007 book, Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters. We scoured the essay and extracted the best facts for you here. Men prefer blue-eyed, busty blondes. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, a slender figure, and big breasts really
are the winning combination, psychologists say. All are symbols of youth
and thus, fertility. More

Man accused of boosting butts with cement
A Florida man was arrested after police said he posed as a doctor and injected a substance containing cement, a tire sealant and other substances into a woman's buttocks. In May, a woman who wanted buttock injections to enhance her appearance went to the suspect's Miami Gardens, Fla., home for the procedure, police said. "They agree on a price of $700 for him to enhance her buttocks," Miami Gardens police Sgt. Bill Bamford told Miami TV station WPLG. Police said Oneal Ron Morris, 30, who police say was born a man but
identifies as a woman, injected a substance consisting of cement, Fix-A-Flat,
mineral oil and superglue into the woman's buttocks and then sealed
the incision with superglue. More
Missing tourist 'feared eaten by cannibals'
Radio New Zealand International reports tests will be undertaken on the ash, which police found at a fire site after they went to search for Mr Ramin and local guide Henri Haiti. The tour guide is believed to have taken Mr Ramin on a hunting trip

Slain men were lured to Noble County by Craigslist ad
Lost, covered in his own blood and unsure if the men who hunted him were still nearby, a man from South Carolina hid in the forested hills outside Caldwell until after dark on Nov. 6. Deciding it was safe, he then made a painful 2-mile journey to the nearest farmhouse to call for help. Investigators say he was the lucky one. On Tuesday, they found the body of a man buried in a shallow grave near the site where the other man was attacked. By surviving his ordeal two weeks ago in Noble County, the victim, whose name authorities haven’t released, helped uncover an elaborate scheme by at least two men to lure people with the promise of work from across the country to Ohio. Authorities say the real plan was to rob and kill them. Two suspects were taken into custody Wednesday after an investigation
by a bevy of federal, state and county agencies. More
Woman's Skin Fuses To Vinyl Of Reclining Chair
Carol F. Brown's adult son told a state official he had left his 74-year-old mother in the chair for five days without helping her get up to use the bathroom or bathe because he was honoring her wishesto die in her Independence home, according to court documents that described the woman as a "rotting corpse that was still breathing." Brown later died. "It is an incredible story to me," Independence police spokesman Tom Gentry said Wednesday. Police were contacted after Brown was taken to a hospital Oct. 27 and found to have a maggot infestation inside an open wound around her ankle, according to the court documents that said Brown's home was "filthy with a heavy smell of bodily fluids and feces." Brown's son, James Owens, told an official with the Missouri Division
of Senior and Disability Services that his mother had been in the chair
since Oct. 23 and that he was honoring her wishes to be left to die,
the documents said. More
3 Zimbabwe women charged with sex attacks on men
Prosecutor Michael Reza told a court in Harare that the counts were for each of the 17 men who had positively identified the women as having sexually assaulted them in 2010 or 2011. The women, all of them in their mid-20s, were arrested Sunday in Gweru, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Harare, when their car was involved in an accident. Police found the condoms in the women's car. Police appealed to any other victims to inform police. "Since Monday, 17 men came and positively identified the women as
having raped them," said a police official in Harare who refused to
be identified. "Most of the men said the women would offer a drink either
laced with something to tranquilize them or were forced at gunpoint."

Boy Posing As Girl On Facebook Extorts Sex
Anthony Stancl, of New Berlin, was charged Wednesday with five counts of child enticement, two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of third-degree sexual assault, possession of child pornography, repeated sexual assault of the same child and making a bomb threat. Stancl's attorney, Craig Kuhary, said Stancl plans to plead not guilty to the charges and hopes to reach a plea agreement with the district attorney "It's too early in the case for me to make a statement, other than the fact at some point we are going to go into events that had taken place earlier that might have had some impact on what he did here," he said. He wouldn't go into specifics. The incidents allegedly happened from spring 2007 through November,
when officers questioned Stancl about a bomb threat he allegedly sent
to teachers and wrote about on a school's bathroom wall. It resulted
in the closing of New Berlin Eisenhower Middle and High School. According
to the criminal complaint, Stancl first contacted the students through
the social networking site Facebook, pretending to be a girl named Kayla
or Emily. More
9-Year-Old Girl Arrested After Her School Bus Tantrum Takes a Violent Turn
She supposedly became very upset when she was told she wasn't allowed to eat candy on the bus and then could not be calmed down. After she got off the bus, the police showed up and things went from bad to worse. The rowdy troublemaker started throwing asphalt at everyone, and when the cops asked her to calm down, she said, "Shut the f**k up! I will f**king kill you!" and threw an aluminum patio chair at them. By the way, the culprit is 9 years old. Her name hasn't been released, but the youngster is facing some serious
charges including resisting arrest with violence, battery on a law enforcement
officer, and throwing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle (the

World's biggest sperm bank tells redheads: We don't want your semen
"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," Ole Schou, the director of Cryos, told the Danish newspaper, Ekstrabladet, according to London's Telegraph. Men with scarlett manes sell "like hot cakes" in Ireland, Schou said, but that's about it. "I do not think you choose a redhead, unless the partner - for example,
the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference
for redheads," he said, the Telegraph reported. "And that's perhaps
not so many, especially in the latter case." More
Toilet Seat or Father Got 11-Year-Old Girl Pregnant?
But not in the case of Perez, who shared a one bedroom Santa Ana rental house with his wife, three children and eight other people. In 2008, Perez's 11-year-old daughter got pregnant, which prompted everyone--including a weepy Perez--to wonder aloud how on earth this could happen. Perez even speculated that sperm resting on a toilet seat must have somehow entered his daughter's vagina because he was positive the girl had not had sex with anyone. But DNA testings proved that Perez was 200,000 times more likely the
father of his daughter's baby than any other male on the planet. More
Grocery worker: I gave out semen-tainted yogurt
Under terms of his plea agreement, Anthony Garcia admitted he tainted a sample of the yogurt he was handing out at Sunflower Market in January. He also admitted putting some of his semen on a plastic spoon that he placed with the yogurt. Garcia then approached a female customer and offered her a sample. Garcia, 32, pleaded guilty to charges of adulterating food and making false statements to federal investigators. The woman told police that after tasting the sample, she spit on the
floor several times and wiped her mouth on the garment she was wearing
to get the taste out of her mouth. Investigators collected samples of
the woman's spit from the floor and took the garment she was wearing
as evidence. More
Bungling armed robber caught after returning to shop he tried to raid... to ask for his COAT back
When gormless Anthony Gorman disturbed a meditating shop keeper, he was dragged around the store, had his gun, balaclava and hoodie-style jacket taken and was chased off empty handed. But the 21-year-old returned minutes later to ‘politely’ beg for his favourite £200 coat back. Don't mess with the meditation: Heroic Michael Singh asked armed robber Anthony Gorman if he was 'stupid' after he returned for his jacket. Surprised shopkeeper Michael Singh simply turned to his attacker and asked: ‘Are you stupid?’ Mr Singh, who moments earlier had a gun pointed at his neck by Gorman, added: ‘No, you can't have it. Get out.’ It only gets worse for Gorman, who was nicknamed Spider. Without his
disguise the shop keeper in Longsight, Manchester recognised him and
he was arrested the same day. More
Female "Vampire" Busted In Bloody Biting Attack
Josephine Smith, 22, was arrested today and charged with felony aggravated battery on an elderly person. Smith, seen in the mug shot at right, was booked into the Pinellas County Jail, where she is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail. “I’m a vampire, I am going to eat you,” Smith announced before allegedly attacking Milton Ellis, according to an arrest affidavit. Ellis, 69, received stitches to close up wounds suffered during the assault, which occurred in front of a vacant Hooters in St. Petersburg. Cops says Ellis, who uses a motorized wheelchair, was asleep when Smith pounced on him, commenced biting, and announced that she was a vampire. The bleeding Ellis escaped his attacker’s clutches and called 911 from
a nearby gas station. More

Edgar Algarin, 26, sat impassively in Bronx Criminal Court as he was ordered held without bail at his arraignment on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Enidaliz Ortiz. Enidaliz suffered massive internal injuries including a ruptured intestine and pancreas, torn bowel, broken rib and internal bleeding, authorities said. The pony-tailed Algarin was baby-sitting Enidaliz and her brother on June 14 while their mother, Antonia Ortiz, was in Atlanta on a business trip.

complained of pain, but Algarin refused to take her to the hospital
for fear of arrest, a prosecutor told the court. More

3,000 Pair of Panties Found Along Ohio Highway
Someone dropped all these drawers in not one or two, but 4 spots along Crawfis road in the county. Road crews and a neighbor discovered the first batch; 16 hundred pairs in all, some new, some used. Deputy Hummel had the task of collecting the evidence. It took about two hours. He filled 10 giant garbage bags just at that location alone. By day's end Berne Township officials say 3,000 pairs of unmentionables were found lying along the road. The case of the multiplying skivvies has everyone baffled. The panties
look like they were dumped in bags from local discount and grocery stores,
and were also taken out of the packaging. More
Children in care of Irish government ended up working in brothels
Health Service Executive (HSE) officials made the shocking admission during a private briefing of diplomats from the American Embassy in Dublin. Details of the disclosure were contained in cables obtained by the Irish Independent through the whistle-blowing organisation WikiLeaks. Cables reveal how foreign-born children who went missing from HSE care had been ending up in the sex trade as far back as 2008. The disclosure was made to US diplomats conducting research for an annual report on people trafficking in Ireland. According to one cable, the HSE said some foreign children who went
missing from care had been retraced to brothels, restaurants and private
households where they may have been used as domestic slaves. More
Man's penis cut off, put through garbage disposal
Catherine Kieu, 48, appeared briefly in Orange County Superior Court in a navy blue jail jumpsuit, hiding her face with her long, dark hair. She was appointed a public attorney to defend her and was denied bail. The petite woman whose chains clanked as she shuffled into the caged area of the courtroom where inmates are held will return to court July 22 for her arraignment, which was continued on Wednesday, and a bail review hearing. Kieu and her husband were still living together in a Garden Grove condo that he owned. He had filed for divorce in May, and they argued before the attack about friends staying at the condo, authorities said. On Monday night, police say Kieu spiked a meal and served it to the
victim. The 60-year-old man started to feel sick and went to lie down,
then awoke tied to the bed as Kieu attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen
knife, police said. She then put the penis down a garbage disposal,
police said. More
Police: Texas man dumps 4-year-old son by highway
Carlos Rico, 22, stopped his car along a cactus-lined stretch of Interstate 20 near Sweetwater at about 3 a.m. Tuesday and "threw the boy out of the car like a bag of garbage," Sweetwater police Chief Jim Kelley told the Abilene Reporter-News on Tuesday.

The boy was in the state's custody on Wednesday. "I've seen a lot of bad things. This is absolutely a first. I've never

such a sweet little boy," he said. More
Chinese Couple Sells All Three Kids to Play Online Games
According to Sanxiang City News, the couple met in an Internet cafe back in 2007 and bonded over their obsession with online video games. A year later, the parents -- who are both under 21 -- welcomed their first child, a son. Days after his birth, they left him home alone while they went to play online games at an Internet cafe 30 km away. In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession. They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after. The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him -- RMB 30,000, or about $4600. Upon having their third child -- another boy -- the parents followed
in their previous footsteps and also got RMB 30,000 for him. More
Traffic court judge arrested for taking cell phone pics of man at urinal
Rhonda Hollander, 47, was arrested last week after her kooky candid camera shots inside the men's room at the West Regional Courthouse, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office. A report of the encounter says Willie Jackson Jr. was "getting ready to urinate" when Hollander appeared at the adjoining urinal and began snapping away. She then took photos of another man entering the restroom before she
bolted, ducking inside another judge's chambers. Police were summoned
and quickly located Hollander, who admitted taking the pictures. More
Man arrested for sexually abusing his dog
A search warrant was issued and various media devices with photographs, videos, and journals detailing the acts were seized. Authorities also seized Bower's computer, bestiality books, plastic signs that said, 'Pets Welcome,' and a plastic, blow-up sheep. Several years of sexual incidents were reported and involved at least three more dogs and possibly a horse.

was examined by a veterinarian and found to have had evidence of Bower
sexually molesting the animal. More
German insurer Munich Re held orgy for salesmen
Munich Re is the world's biggest re-insurer - in other words, the company acts as an insurance company for other insurance companies. One of its divisions, Ergo, told the BBC that the party had taken place to reward salesmen in 2007. A spokesman said the people who organised it had since left. The gathering was held at a thermal baths in the Hungarian capital Budapest as a reward to particularly successful salesmen. There were about 100 guests and 20 prostitutes were hired. A German business newspaper said the prostitutes had worn colour-coded arm-bands designating their availability, and the women had their arms stamped after each service rendered. According to Handelsblatt, quoting an unnamed participant, guests
were able to take the women to four-poster beds at the spa "and do whatever
they liked". More
China's latest craze: dyeing pets to look like other wild animals
Dyeing pets has been a trend in pet pampering for quite some time. At last summer's Pets Show Taipei, there was a fierce dog-dyeing competition. Check out photos. But dyeing your pets to look like other wild animals is a more recent development. The trend demonstrates how quickly and dramatically attitudes toward pets — particularly dogs — have changed in many parts of Asia. In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose. Traditional Chinese medicine held that so-called "fragrant meat" from dogs could fortify one's health. Now, eating dog is viewed by many as an embarrassing reminder of a
poorer time. More
Man admits having sex with 1,000 cars
"I appreciate beauty and I go a little bit beyond appreciating the beauty of a car only to the point of what I feel is an expression of love," he said. "Maybe I'm a little bit off the wall but when I see movies like Herbie and Knight Rider, where cars become loveable, huggable characters it's just wonderful. "I'm a romantic. I write poetry about cars, I sing to them and talk to them just like a girlfriend. I know what's in my heart and I have no desire to change." He added: "I'm not sick and I don't want to hurt anyone, cars are just my preference." Mr Smith, 57, first had sex with a car at the age of 15, and claims
he has never been attracted to women or men. But his wandering eye has
spread beyond cars to other vehicles. He says that his most intense
sexual experience was "making love" to the helicopter from 1980s TV
hit Airwolf. More
Calif mom arraigned in microwave death of baby
Prosecutors charged Ka Yang, 29, with one count of murder with the special circumstance that the killing was intentional and involved torture, which would make her eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole. Authorities found Yang's 6-week-old daughter, Mirabelle Thao-Lo, dead in the family home in Sacramento on March 17. Officials say the child suffered "extensive thermal injuries." The
girl was burned from head-to-toe, but authorities could not find an

to the affidavit written by Sacramento Police Detective Thomas Shrum.
The infant's pajamas and hair were not singed. A pacifier, however,
was found in the microwave, Shrum said. More

Buying Prostitute for Elderly Dad Gets Woman Busted
According to Tampa's ABC affiliate, 51-year-old Pia Kirchberg offered a prostitute a mere $20 to get it on with her 80-year-old father Maurice. Which, really, is just an insult to the fine profession of prostitution. A real prostitute would take nothing less than 100 roses an hour. Kirchberg was out looking in an area of town known for prostitution. Unfortunately for her, Kirchberg wasn't dealing with a real prostitute,
but an undercover officer who was part of a sting. More
Woman with objects fetish marries Eiffel Tower
But it is the Eiffel Tower she has pledged to love, honour and obey in an intimate ceremony attended by a handful of friends. She has changed her name legally to reflect the bond.

The OS term was first coined by Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, a 54-year-old
woman who has been "married" to the Berlin Wall for 29 years. More
Attorney's big-breasted woman complaint
Most notably, in one of the Cook County courtrooms, Chicago Attorney Thomas Gooch is being accused of being sexist by filing a motion for Cook County Circuit Court Judge Anita Rivkin-Carothers’ consideration which requests that a large-breasted woman be moved away from the the other lawyer's table as to not be a distraction to the jury. Gooch says that the woman, who has been seated next to the opposing
attorney, Dmitry N. Feotanov, during court proceedings is only there
to distract the jury and not seated there for any other professional
purpose. According to Gooch, the large-breasted woman needs to validate
herself with proof of legal training or be moved to the courtroom's
gallery with other spectators. More

Richard Bloem's bad breakup with ex-girlfriend
The plea came shortly after Judge George Buth has dismissed one of two charges for a local home builder accused of entering his ex-girlfriend's apartment and urinating in her food. Bloem, 46, will be sentenced March 9 on the home invasion which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years, but his unblemished criminal history likely means Bloem will be sentenced to no more than 17 months behind bars. According to police, Bloem went in the apartment of the 32-year-old Grandville woman with a key he had made at Lowe's without her knowledge on July 2. After spending some time crying in several rooms, he tore up some
of her clothes and then returned later to urinate in a bottle of 2009
Kendall-Jackson Riesling, some Land O'Lakes half-and-half creamer and
a pitcher of Crystal Light in the refrigerator. More
Boobgate rocks Bangkok
They were caught topless by the all-seeing eye of the camera phone. That tends to happen when you strip down, hop on a vehicle's roof and writhe before a packed crowd of guys. The girls were feeling festive during Songkran, a lunar new year's celebration-turned-nationwide water gun battle. Naturally, someone recorded the moment with a camera phone and uploaded it to the Web. It became an instant hit. If the girls were American, they'd be in negotiations for a reality
show. But since they're Thai, they are being tracked down by the culture
ministry and the police, who plan to fine them and force them them to
contemplate the holiday's true meaning, possibly by reading books about
Songkran to kindergarten students. More

Oral sex now main cause of oral cancer: Who faces biggest risk?
Scientists say that 64 percent of cancers of the oral cavity, head, and neck in the U.S. are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is commonly spread via oral sex, NPR reported. The more oral sex you have - and the more oral sex partners you have - the greater the risk of developing these potentially deadly cancers. "An individual who has six or more lifetime partners - on whom they've performed oral sex - has an eightfold increase in risk compared to someone who has never performed oral sex, Ohio University's Dr. Maura Gillison, said at a recent scientific meeting, according to NPR. It's news that might alarm some parents, who worry about adolescents' appetite for oral sex. "Today's teens consider oral sex to be casual, socially acceptable,
inconsequential, and significantly less risky to their health than 'real'
sex," Dr. Gillison and colleagues said in a written statement released
in conjunction with the meeting. More

Cleavage Beef Ends With Woman's Bust
Laura Campanello, 43, was leaving a meeting with her 17-year-old son’s guidance counselor at Bayshore High School when she passed a woman whom she believes was too scantily clad. After Campanello asked the woman--who was visiting the Bradenton school with an enrolling student--to cover up her chest area, an argument broke out. According to a Manatee County Sheriff Office affidavit, Deputy Greg Jenkins, the school’s resourse officer, arrived on the scene and advised Campanello that the other woman “was an adult and that I could not tell this lady how to dress.” “Oh then I can…just do this,” Campanello responded. As detailed by
Jenkins, Campanello then allegedly “pulled the front of her blouse down
reached in with both hands and pulled both breast out and squeezed them
together.” The impromptu display in front of several onlookers resulted
in Campanello’s arrest for disorderly conduct. More
Naked woman rescued from cliff
Dozens of lifeguards and Fire Engine Company 9 were sent to the Torrey Pines Gliderport at about 2:15 p.m., according to San Diego Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. It took them about 30 minutes to rig a series of rescue ropes. A female lifeguard then rappelled about a third of the way down the 500-foot cliff to an exposed ledge, where the very exposed 27-year-old woman was stuck. After hooking up the young woman in a rescue harness, the lifeguard
helped her rappel to the beach several hundred feet below, where she
was provided with clothing. The entire operation took about an hour
from start to finish. More

Police: Man critically injures toddler
"He did admit to the fact that he had struck the child, injuring him," Sgt. Paul Thompson, spokesman for IMPD, said. Now a toddler is in critical condition, and a man faces felony charges for aggravated battery. Police said 30-year-old Ayrick Steele was in his apartment with his girlfriend and their combined four children, who range from 2-months to 7-years-old. "Apparently the man was trying to apply some type of ointment to the
child for some type of injury or illness," Thompson said. "The child
resisted that effort, and he reacted by either striking or throwing
the child into the wall." More
Breast Milk Ice Cream A Hit At London Store
The rare offering proved a hit with customers at the Covent Garden store — the first batch sold out within days of being introduced. A serving of Baby Gaga, which is reportedly flavored with vanilla and lemon zest, goes for 14 pounds — or about $22.50. The milk came from women found on an Internet advertisement. And the folks at Icecreamists say all the milk "was screened in line with hospital/blood donor requirements." In an interview for British TV, store founder Matt O'Connor says,
"It's pure, it's natural, it's organic, and it's free range, and if
it's good enough for our kids, it's good enough to use in our ice cream."

Craigslist Cat Killer
24-year-old Alex Phelps went before a judge in Louisville on Friday. Phelps was arraigned on four counts of torturing a cat. Judge Donald Armstrong entered a plea of not guilty for Phelps and set his bond at $50,000. Over the past month three cats were found mutilated and tortured to death in Louisville. Phelps may have gotten some of those cats from a Craigslist ad. A few months ago, Jennifer Chappell says she rescued three kittens. Chappell says after caring for them and getting them proper veterinary care she wanted to find them a good home. "I bottle fed these kittens," said Chappell.

and Alex Phelps responded to the ad. Chappell even shared an email that
Phelps wrote her, saying he has a dog and most of his family are "avid

Blumenshine, 27, was arrested behind a Kohl's department store in Plainfield, Ill. on Tuesday. Police say they caught her in a car with a 16-year-old boy and determined that they'd had sex shortly before the officers arrived. Blumenshine's attorney said she is innocent.

Police noticed two vehicles in the parking lot were sitting much farther out from the store than other vehicles in the lot. On Wednesday, the Will County State's Attorney's office charged Blumenshine

Breast milk sharing? Trend worries FDA
Health experts have long promoted breast-feeding as the "perfect food" to provide babies with needed nutrients as well as ward off illness, but the Food and Drug Administration is worried about the practice. In a statement Tuesday, the agency urged parents not to casually use breast milk from other, unscreened mothers because of the risk of disease or contamination from bacteria, drugs or chemicals. "FDA recommends against feeding your baby breast milk acquired directly
from individuals or through the Internet," the agency wrote. Instead,
parents should talk to their doctors and use breast milk from special
human milk banks, it said. More

Woman Charged - Selling Drugs From Her Vagina in Jail
The 43-year-old Fort Lauderdale woman was busted last Friday when her car broke down on the highway. A trooper stopped to help, but Tomlin gave a fake name. She was later discovered to have outstanding warrants for battery, a probation violation, and driving without a license, so she was brought to the Naples jail. Jailers there usually do cavity searches on drug suspects. Since Tomlin
wasn't wanted for anything related to dope, she got a pass. We can also
forgive jailers for not wanting to search her nether regions, since
there was a high probability they would have encountered previously
undiscovered reptiles and those steel-toed boots you lost in the winter
of 2003. More

Black is accused of taking a magazine into the childrens toy aisle

But, rather than trying to start a new trend on the London Underground, the group were promoting a TV series which sees staff at struggling businesses helping to turn their company around. Steven Suphi, behaviour change specialist and leadership guru, believes
stripping off in the office will help boost employees' confidence and

40% of Australian women wear a bra with a cup size DD or bigger
In the 1950s, the most common bra-cup size was a B - three sizes less than a DD.

year. The company's fitting specialist, Victoria Jubb, said obesity
contributed significantly to the expanding chest sizes but the number
of small-figured women with large breasts was on the increase. More

Shag bands a parent's worst nightmare
Rather than a mere fashion statement, the so-called "shag bands" are linked to gradations of sexual behaviour.

If it snaps, the wearer has to perform the favour corresponding to the colour. Snap an orange band and get a kiss, snap a yellow and get a hug. But
snap a black, light blue or light green band, and the "prize" is something
far more sinister. More
