Epic Drop 12/18/09: Drunk 4-yr-old steals presents, Hate-crime cover up, Hangover's new location? Singer's back on X-men, Movie seat guidelines

Poll time, but no this isn't a Friday girl decision as I refuse to have Rihanna on Fridays.  Make sure you stop in and vote for who better looking, Alicia Keys or Rihanna.  It is Wilde Friday as well which is a nice plus so make sure you stop in for our daily discussion.  +1

The story about this 4-year-old boy dressed in a dress, drunk and out stealing Christmas presents is completely absurd.  You couldn't write something that amazing for entertainment purposes.  The mom "says she is not sure how her 4-year-old managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors presents from under their tree".  The kid had to have stomach pumped and managed to break the safety devices she had on her doors.  Apparently he wants to be be like his dad so he runs away and tries to get in trouble.  I'm sure the mother has some blame here that she can't raise her kid right but this is pretty amazing regardless. 

Cops in Pennsylvania are accused of covering up the fatal beating of a Mexican immigrant last year.  It seems the cops tried to cover for two white football players by altering evidence as they had ties to a mother of one of the kids and to the football team itself.  Now something like this wouldn't surprise me all that much in Texas or something but Pennsylvania?  They take their football and immigrants seriously down there.

Okay I pretty much rarely link to Fox News but this is pretty funny.  Thanks to an error in typing up a recent law right now if you ride Amtrack and carry a weapon (which is legal), both you and your gun are supposed to be locked in boxes for their journey.  It was supposed to be just the weapon obviously but somehow the wording was screwed up between the House and Senate and Obama signed it in to law before they had a chance to fix it. 

More talks about Hangover 2 are being kicked around including the rumor that the next one may take place in Thailand.  I am a bit biased and pro-Vegas but I don't want to see them back there as it lacks originality at this point.  Thailand should provide plenty of crazy opportunities however.

Site of the day goes to www.shouldiwatch.com.  This is a great site for sports fans that miss live showings of their favorite games and have taped or DVR'd them.  You can pull up said game and decide if you want to watch or not without spoiling the score thanks to a points modifier.  Check it out and see what you think. 

I like this piece over at Gawker about movie theater etiquette and seat-saving is a good read.  I get annoyed pretty easy over stupid people at the movie theater.  The whole saving seats for mass amounts of people that aren't even at the theater yet while the previews are already on annoys the hell out of me.  Check it out and maybe you guys can help buck the trend of stupid people in theaters.

Bryan Singer is coming back to the X-men.  One of Fox's biggest botched movie moves ever was not doing whatever it took to bring him back for X3.  Now he is returning to direct X-men First Class which will be a prequel of sorts to the first X-men trilogy.  It is supposed to retain the same vibe of the originals and won't be toned down or anything.  The cast will probably revolve around the original core characters, Beast, Angel, Jean, Cyclops and Ice Man. 


How in the hell do these rejects keep ending up on TV?  Is it the whole "can't pull yourself away from watching the car wreck" concept?
