Smuggling Paraphernalia Can Be Hard Work, Even When It Fails. This Is Ridiculous.

I figured smuggling would be an interesting line of work, but I had no idea just how strange it actually was. It’s difficult enough to get perfectly legal foods across borders, so naturally trying to bring illegal things into a country is even harder. You can’t just slap a fake mustache on a bag of cocaine and tell security it’s your Uncle Pete. (Even if that does sound outlandishly genius.)

If you want to make money off of contraband, you have to be creative. Just take a look at some of the weird examples below–and don’t forget, these are the techniques that didn’t work.  

1.) Avocado Filled with Cocaine

2.) Stuffed Animal Stuffed with a Handgun

TSA

3.) Clams Stuffed with Cocaine

4.) Chocolate-covered Methamphetamine

5.) Ceramic Cats Filled with Opium

6.) Money in Bread

7.) Cocaine in Breast Implants

8.) Ecstasy Inside of a Mr. Potato Head Toy

9.) Marijuana Packed into the Shape of a Donkey

10.) Geckos in Books

11.) Plant Base Filled with Ephedrine

12.) Wooden Door Filled with Cocaine

13.) Frogs in a Film Cannister

14.) Anabolic Steroids in Lubricant Bottles

15.) Snake in a Clay Pot

16.) Cocaine in Candy Eggs

17.) Soccer Ball Filled with Cigarettes

18.) Dead Bugs Filled with Cocaine

Whoa. That sure is an interesting line of work. Imagine what these people could have done with those creative minds of theirs if they had chosen a career where most retirement parties don’t take place in a prison. This really makes you wonder how people successfully brings these things in!

Seconds Into This Time-Lapse Video Of Our Galaxy, Something Fascinating Happens

It’s easy to forget how small we are as we navigate the hustle and bustle of daily life. In fact, the phenomenon often surpasses ignorance of our minuteness and morphs into inflated egoism, but the second we peel our eyes away from our phone screens and cast our downward gazes up into space, this smallness becomes all too apparent.

Over the past few weeks, our galaxy has been making waves with stories of new celestial bodies and planetary alignments, and as such, our ignorant bliss has been interrupted in the best way. But if that doesn’t make you feel small, check out this time-lapse footage. About 11 seconds in, the video is punctuated by something incredible.

Although it’s by no means an unfamiliar phenomenon, the Aurora Borealis never fails to drive home the fact that our little planet is part of something immense. In the grand scheme of things, we might be tiny blips on the radar — but the fact that we’re privy to so much beauty makes our position feel pretty extraordinary.

Oh dear: S. Korean president fires spokesman over ‘unsavory act’ during US visit

http://twitter.com/#!/W7VOA/status/332576838931058688

Evidently, President Obama’s floptastic “Gangham Style” joke wasn’t the most awkward part of South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s U.S. visit. Park’s spokesman, Yoon Chang-jung, has reportedly been given the ol’ heave-ho after committing an “unsavory act”:

#ROK pres. press secretary: Yoon “involved in an unsavory incident…inappropriate act for high-level official & hurt the national dignity.”

— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) May 9, 2013

So, what exactly was this alleged unsavory act?

#ROK media reporting Yoon was accused of molesting an intern at the Embassy in Washington, DC.

— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) May 9, 2013

Oh dear.

#ROK media report Yoon hurriedly returned to S. Korea, not accompanying Pres. Park from Washington to L.A.

— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) May 9, 2013

It’s so hard to find good press secretaries these days.

Horrifying NY Post cover photo depicts man about to die, readers disgusted

http://twitter.com/#!/gaysian7/status/276041826920693760

New York Post readers were greeted this morning with a shocking sight. Slapped across the cover was a photo of a man seconds away from being killed by an oncoming subway train:

Today’s @nypost cover of the man on the subway tracks is probably the craziest I’ve ever seen. twitter.com/samir/status/2…

— Samir Mezrahi (@samir) December 4, 2012

The Post is now facing a very nasty backlash — and they’ve earned it:

Just saw the @nypost‘s cover today of a man moments before his death from a subway pusher. SICK & immoral to print it imho.

— Braf Zachland (@adammc123) December 4, 2012

Now i can’t un-see that…. The New York Post cover today is too much for my heart.

— Miss Ange (@MissAngeOnAir) December 4, 2012

Cover of today’s @nypost photo of man about to be killed by subway is reprehensible. Way that paper floats in public space, unavoidable.

— Aaron Stewart-Ahn (@somebadideas) December 4, 2012

. @nypost lacking common sense with today’s cover. Terrible.

#Outraged at cover of The New York Post (DISGUSTING) Man gets hit by a train and they print a pix of the train coming toward the man! Smfh

Poor taste, even for the Post. RT @nymag Chilling @nypost cover shows seconds before the subway death. nym.ag/THcmYV #morbid

I love gossip as much as the next but @nypost went TOO FAR w/ their cover today.Disgusting.(thanks @erinmacal 4 heads up)

— Marna Palmer (@MarnaP) December 4, 2012

I hope the editors behind today’s NYPost cover have their last moments of life horrible exploited.

— Aubry Parks-Fried (@mrsapf) December 4, 2012

The @nypost cover is a crime. Photographer claims he fired off his flash to warn the conductor. While running at the train. While managing

— Dan Krokos (@DanKrokos) December 4, 2012

DEAR @nypost, this is an exmaple of horrific journalism and you should be ashamed. The editor should be fired. bit.ly/Yw1QLc

The #NYPost cover today is just ridiculous. They have no shame

That New York Post cover is horribly disrespectful.

— bread xtravaganza (@MavisGary) December 4, 2012

I always knew @nypost was a disgusting rag but today’s front cover is so outrageously gross words can’t possibly describe it. Shame on them.

— Scott Roth (@scottroth76) December 4, 2012

Disgusted and horrified @nypost for splashing a man who’s about to die on their cover. Tasteless and unethical journalism

— Lindsey Cohen (@LindzelBean) December 4, 2012

@nypost officially put themselves in the zero class category with today’s cover ….might be the most tasteless thing I have ever scene

— Isaiah Orlen (@ISOglobal) December 4, 2012

And what about the man who lost his life?

@nypost Tosay’s cover crosses all lines of decency.His family is going to see the photo of him about to be killed.

— Sharon Kuper (@SharonKuper) December 4, 2012

Imagine if the man in that @nypost front page photo about to be killed by a train was your friend & you saw that on a newsstand.

— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) December 4, 2012

We can’t. Just horrible.

But perhaps the Post’s colossal lapse in taste highlights something even more disturbing than the cover itself:

Everyone on that platform watched that man die & did nothing but run or take pics. Shameful. And the #NYPost is disgusting for that cover!

— Tzena Nicole (@TzenaNicole) December 4, 2012

Why did no one save the man in NY? Why did people just watch him instead of helping him?
