Lady lost weight because of a seat belt ticket

A South Carolina resident who once weighed 408 pounds says that receiveing a traffic ticket was the final straw of being over weight. She admitted that she hadn't been able to buckle her seatbelt in years, and her ticket in 2011 for not wearing her seatbelt started her in her weight loss journey. Since the incident in 2011 she has lost over 200 pounds due to being active and making the right food choices.
 "Researchers say extremely obese people are 60 percent less likely to wear seatbelts. They are 56 percent more likely to die in a crash because of it." (ABC).

YOU GO GIRL!





Wisconsin Landlord wants to evict tenants for not being Packer fans

Everyone knows that Packer fans are really serious about their team, but can a landlord really evict his tenants for not supporting the green & gold? The tenants were apparently fans of the Bears, the Packers' long time rivals, and had lied on the application to rent the home when asked if they were packers fans.  According to lawyer Ron Rosenbaum Bears fans "can't be evicted for lying on the application, because it's not really material -- I don't think any court would look at it as a material item of importance in terms of whether this is the kind of person he would want living in his place." (CityPages.com). The landlord states that his tenants have been putting up Bears decorations all over their front yard and the neighbors are PISSED!
 

 
What do YOU think? Is this Packer fan taking it too far or is his complaint legit?

It seems like every one has something to say about the cheeto-eating, mud slinging, pig loving pageant girl Honey Boo Boo these days.
