Consumer News and Links for Dec. 24th
From the This Is My Body, Spread Cheese On It department:
-In Jacksonville Florida, workers at the Stadium Club have received a surprise visit from the King of Christmas. At the bottom of a nacho warming tray, mineral deposits from the filthy (holy?) water have left a stain that some workers swear is the image of Jesus. To me, it looks like South Park's rendition of Jesus. A spokesman for the restaurant says that they will no longer use the tray for warming nachos. Great... you know what that means... soggy, microwaved nachos with velveeta melted on them. Thanks Jesus! Thanks a lot! (NBC News via Obscurestore)
From the Open Source Price Tag department:
-Two stories of people switching price tags on high-priced items this holiday seasons. First, a Colorado University Student made his own barcodes that rang up $4.99 at his local Target. In a stroke of genius, he plastered them on a $149.00 iPod box. Yeah, no one is going to notice that markdown. (Denver Post)
-Second, a woman in New Jersey was caught switching $14.99 price tags to $59.99 and $49.99 bed linens. There's more? She was a corrections officer for 25 years. What does she do now? Why, she is a New Jersey Lawmaker of course. I've heard of the government stealing from the community, but I never expected it to be so direct. (All Headline News)
