Controversey Strikes With Grown Adults Over Future "Toy Story 4" Film


EMERYVILLE - One of Hollywood's most beloved movie studios Pixar is known as home to many successful computer-animated films which includes the characters from the Toy Story Franchise. But during the Thanksgiving weekend, Pixar's partner company Disney announced that Toy Story 4 is already in the works as another upcoming sequel in the franchise.Much to dismay, despite the fact that the film is in its pre-production stage such as making sure most of the original voice actors are still alive, there is already some controversy over its supposed plot.

Nearly three and a half years after the release of the 2010 summer blockbuster Toy Story 3, a study group made up of parents, teachers, and just random adults in general were used as a test group at Pixar Animation Studios in order to determine the official plot for Toy Story 4. Based on their test group, the theme that hit most with them was the theme of abandonment. They even film the test group crying over the toys being accidentally abandoned by their new kid owner Bonnie.

The test group also voice concerns as to whether today's children will understand the difference between reality and fantasy with the toys as they come to life in every movie. Then again, most in the group was revealed to be emotionally attached to the toys then the children they have studied in the past.

But the main matter that everyone seemed mixed about was over Ken and whether or not he is implied to be gay. This caused sparks with adults who leaned more towards the conservative side of the political spectrum. However, Pixar representatives assured the group that Ken is just a man who loves fashion and nothing more.

Disney has also expressed interest in Pixar making Toy Story 5 and Toy Story 6, but no word from Pixar representatives on whether or not those projects are even up for consideration.

Department Stores Prepare for "White Weekend 2014", Promoting The War on Thanksgiving

It's that time of year again, where department stores nationwide prepare their employees for the one day that really counts in shopping (or so they think) - Black Friday. Over recent years though has Black Friday slowly lost interest with shoppers. As a result of  these department stores not wanting to loose on any business opportunities they can get, many have already decided to prepare for the next Black Friday event - only, it will not be called Black Friday anymore. Instead, these stores are in preparation for a new shopping event called "White Weekend" beginning November 26th, 2014.

White Weekend begins on Wednesday evening, making the event transfer into Thanksgiving and the weekend until the beginning of Cyber Monday. Several big retailers including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Toys R Us will begin opening their stores nationwide on Wednesday evening and will stay open late on Black Friday. Throughout these hours, these stores give holiday shoppers the time to prepare and shop at their stores in order to get their Christmas shopping done. The purpose of White Weekend is to promote shopping and going out during the holiday instead of potential customers sitting around lazily in their cozy homes watching whatever is on television.

Many of the spokespeople for these retailers believe stores should take advantage of having huge sales, particularly when the holidays are approaching. But when asked by reporters on their thoughts on sacrificing the Thanksgiving holiday in exchange for savings on better deals people otherwise would not have, many replied, "Thanksgiving? What Thanksgiving?"

A spokesperson for Walmart said in a statement, "The only time Thanksgiving ever happens is when families gather around eating dinner while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with all their singing acts, Broadway musicals and marching bands perform out in the cold. And besides, what choice do we have? This year's calender was screwed up, and so is next year's. We must have holiday shopping sometime."

The spokesperson added, "Don't get me wrong, but Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for the people in your life you otherwise find annoying. It's simple - you say 'Grace' one day, and then the next day while you're punching others for the new flat screen TV you forget that you even counted your blessings with your loved ones to begin with. By the way, did you know that we have a campaign to make our products say they were made in America? Definitely come check that out."

Needless to say, as long as there will be crazy shoppers snatching deals all while acting like toddlers, there will be opportunities for retailers to stay open during the holidays.

Toronto Council Votes to Relocate Rob Ford to America, Claims Canada Doesn't Want to Deal with Him

TORONTO -These past couple of weeks, Toronto mayor Rob Ford has been open about his crack use, to which Canadian citizens turn their heads and ask, "Weed, eh?"


Toronto's City Council has already stripped Mayor Ford from his powers, claiming he's definitely a crack addict. But Rob Ford's struggle to cooperate with the council has led them to decide between two choices - either keep the mayor as a sitting duck, or relocate him to a city in America.

The council has decided, after several hearings and a 37- 4 vote, to force him to temporary move to America so he can supposedly get help and clean up his act.

According to the council, Mayor Ford is not only accused of smoking crack, but his other accusations include excessive drinking, harassing staffers, and now physically assaulting council members. Despite the mayor's pleas to stay in office and continue doing his job, the council concluded that Ford "is a dangerous man who seems too incompetent to do his job" and his relocating to America is simply "for the greater good of Canada".

A council member, who chose to remain anonymous, told the huge crowd of press reporters the reasoning behind the decision. "Canada, Toronto especially, doesn't need a politician involved in these scandalous acts," she said. "That's what we have America for. They like to do whatever they please, while we Canadians have to stick with our squeaky-clean image."

A male council member, also anonymous, chose to chip in on the story. "This is the kind of behavior we expect from our neighboring country America and their leaders, not from a Canadian leader," explained the male council member, "Americans get crazy when their leaders misbehave, but they're used to it. We're not used to this before. The only good thing that has come out of this is, at least, America remembers that Canada still exist." 

"A true Canadian isn't known for wild behavior," said the same female council member to the press, "But I believe American ideals can corrupt the mind of a Canadian. I mean, just look at Justin Bieber for example. He used to be such an innocent, young Canadian boy whose sole dream was to make music. Then, out of nowhere, America falls in love with him as he becomes 'America's Sweetheart', making him an instant celebrity. Nowadays, almost everyone hears about him doing drugs and partying all over the world with wild strippers while messing with paid whores just so he can get laid. As much as we don't like Ford's actions, we wouldn't want to hear that he has wild parties with hookers inside his own office. That's a show nobody should have to even imagine."

Obviously, Mayor Ford did not agree with the council on the terms of their decision. Ford himself burst into outrage at the council's new proposal for him. His comments include, "Oh ha ha, like all of you sitting here are innocent! Why don't all of you submit to drug and alcohol testing yourselves since you all claim I have fucking issues," and, "America? Yeah right! I got a new TV show, bitches! I ain't going anywhere!"  

Still, Toronto's City Council believes it should be Rob Ford's best interest to move to an American city just so he can get help. They also suggested to the powerless mayor that he can temporarily change his name to "Chris Farley" if he pleased.

"That man... he clearly has issues," said the male council member after another hearing. "He needs to get himself checked in somewhere such as, perhaps, a mental hospital before he does anymore damage and hurts his family like his wife or his brother Doug. Oh, wait... never mind then. Doug's already hurt himself just for his involvement."

There is no word whether or not Rob Ford will accept the offer to get help in America rather than stay in Canada and continue his role as mayor with limited powers.

Chris Christie For Democrat Nomination in 2016 Presidential Campaign

TRENTON - After last Tuesday's elections in individual states, the GOP struggles with their reputation of anti-progress. Unfortunately for the party, New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie acts the exact opposite from the political party's desires.

Governor Christie is considered for a nomination as a Democrat candidate in the upcoming 2016 presidential election, simply because the GOP wants nothing to do with him.

Since Hurricane Sandy, both the Democrats and Republicans have questioned his true interest and intentions for American society. But Republicans worry about it more as Christie does not appear to be as self-centered as other notable members. 

It's not that most of the politicians in the GOP hate him personally; however, many do not want him ruining their chances of getting nominated. Take Kentucky's junior Senator Rand Paul for example; he seems the most concerned of such action to ever happen, even believing he is more "moderate" than "conservative", except... he really doesn't like Christie personally.

"I don't take the 'King of Bacon' seriously," explained Senator Paul, "because he doesn't represent the GOP's main ideals. He believes his views are the only correct views, and that's all. Besides, I can't really see him getting himself around the issues."

Other GOP public figures spoke on Christie. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spoke her views on NBC's TODAY, congratulating the Governor on his re-election, but saying she wouldn't put her faith on him. When asked why, she replied, "Are you kidding? It's because I'm selfish and I want to run for president! You have no idea how badly I want to be at the White House! If anybody deserves it, it's me, not Christie!" Rick Perry also expressed his views, asking if he was really a conservative just because he is in New Jersey. "I don't know if he really a conservative or not," stated Perry, "I mean, maybe he should be a Democrat candidate. But if he agrees with Wendy Davis, then I'll know."

Although Democrats aren't sure what to think of Christie, they are willing to accept him based on the progress he's made from legalizing gay marriage to supporting the Black and Hispanic communities.

Some even worry about the Governor's weight if he became president in the future. "Well, you know, if he does become president and gets any bigger, many will worry whether or not he can fit into William Taft's bathtub," sneered Paul.

Nevertheless, Christie doesn't seem worried. And even though the GOP doesn't want to see Governor Christie represent them in 2016, many have admitted that he is better to run against than Hillary Clinton.

"It's better to run against a fat bully than a female bully," said Paul.

"I rather run against Christie than [Hillary Clinton]," stated Palin, "I don't like that bitch."

Unmanned Test Drone Lands Near Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Home


PHOENIX - Arizona may be known for more than just the beauty of the Grand Canyon thanks to "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio. The Arizona Sheriff is planning to establish unmanned drones to fly over the state, only right now, it is having some technical difficulties.

An unmanned and unarmed test drone landed near the Sheriff's home earlier this morning. According to reports, the Sheriff was outside of his home when he clearly spotted the drone in the sunrise. The drone, however, then spun out of control in the air while a voice monitor rang, "ERROR, ERROR!" The drone flew downwards, almost crashing near the Sheriff himself as witnessed by terrified neighbors. 

In an afternoon press conference, Arpaio explained that the main purpose of these drones is to spot criminals and anybody who looks suspicious of criminal activity. These drones, once established, will hoover over most of Arizona during the day. Arpaio also wants to test the drones near the Arizona border due to the lack of support for border security in Washington.

Arpaio was able to relocate where the second test drone had landed, only to pinpoint the home address of Governor Jan Brewer.

Brewer told local reporters that before she went outside and saw the drone coming down towards her, she had been relaxing in her home by drinking coffee and rewriting a proposed policy against the DREAMers act. Although Brewer admitted that watching the drone frightened her, she believed Arpaio's security plan is heading in the right direction. She told one local reporter, "[The drones] should help make Arizona a little more secure, especially if they will be used towards the border. I have been advocating for border security for many months now, so hopefully these future drones will benefit society. I'm sure every person in this great state of Arizona wants more security, just like I do."

Whether or not Arpaio's drone plan will ever happen, he would still need approval from the Federal Aviation Administration in order to legally use them. When asked if he was worried that the FAA would not approve of his drone plan, Arpaio responded, "Of course they can't say no! Are you kidding? If case you haven't noticed, I'm the god-damn sheriff! Lord knows I can take them to Tent City, and trust me, they will quickly change their minds."

Still, Arpaio admitted that the test drones will need more work and to fix up the glitches. "I hope, if my drone plan is approved, that no drones fly near my home," stated Arpaio, "That's the wrong place to look for criminals."
