A Halloween Treat! Mwa ha ha ha!

Wow, that was cheesy, even for me. Anyway, just thought I’d start things off today with a little piece by The Plain Dealer on our obsession with vampires!! Dude talks about current and upcoming TV shows and movies that deal with the subject before delving into just why we are so interested in the bloodsuckers. It’s actually an interesting article. I’m serious. Wes Craven, David Boreanaz, and other vampire heavy weights weigh in with their thoughts. Trick or treat, assholes.

Halle Berry Gets Her Racist On

Today is a weird day, first a vampire article, now this… I mean I guess this counts as Cleveland news, Halle Berry was born here. She is a native Clevelander even if she thinks the Flats is full of shopping and dining. Last Friday Berry appeared on Leno where she said that a picture of her that made her nose appear big could be her Jewish cousin. Egads!! Well Berry did apologize for the comment saying that a Jewish girl who works for her suggested the picture looked like her Jewish cousin. OMG! I can’t believe I’m linking this site.

Unfortunately Named Boy Dishes Praise for Speech At Ignatius

Holocaust survivor, author, and activist Elie Wiesel spoke at St. Ignatius high school last night. He told the audience they need to act when they see social injustice. It’s a shame that this speech didn’t receive more press (guilty!), but what is even a bigger shame is the name of one of the boys channel 3 interviewed. Meet Sully Sullivan folks! Ok, I’ll stop there, anonymous high school seniors don’t deserve the wrath of MyFriendCleveland, even if they do go to Ignatius. The nitty gritty is just a click away.

Woman Believes She is Related to Dogs

We gave you the lowdown on the pit bull ban in Garfield Heights recently, well it’s not the only one in Ohio, nor is it going unnoticed. Shana Klein and her husband regularly take in pit bulls that have been removed from homes and are holding meetings to question banning the animals. Shana claims that it is the owners who are responsible, not the type of dog. Most people agree it would be easier to take Shana seriously if she wasn’t saying things like, “It’s very scary to live in a place where a family member can possibly be confiscated because of the way they look.” I’m going to leave you to add a one-liner here, because there are just too many options.
