After Suge Knight’s bail was set at $25 million, he collapsed in court. Video of his faint reaction. Tons of parents in India scaled the side of their kids’ school building to help them cheat on a test. Cenk sees this more as desperate parents looking for any way to help their kids get ahead in life. A deaf Ethiopian man was arrested for unknown reasons in Virginia, thrown in jail without an interpreter, and suffered in every way possible behind bars for 6 weeks due to his lack of hearing.

Several businesses in Austin had “Exclusively for White People” signs posted in their windows, causing an uproar with the public. The stores declared that they didn’t put the signs up, but that they were planted as a prank. 80K Brits have signed a petition to reject Kanye West’s performance at a big music fest. Cenk talks about his hate for live music.

Sandy Rios of the American Family Assoc spoke about how gay marriage will lead to the biggest fight among the religious and the rest of the country. She went on to say that they need to be prepared for martyrdom. Cenk points out that if this was said by a Muslim, he’d be immediately investigated and roasted on Fox News. A Tennessee church ruffled some feathers after they posted a sign out front pointing out that Satan was the first one to demand equal rights. The church responded by claiming they didn’t mean it toward any group that successfully gained equal rights. A priest performed multiple exorcisms on a teenaged anorexic girl, which led her to attempt suicide.

  1. Here I go, sounding like a right wing douche bag. Reg India education story. If you live in poverty, and the place is overpopulated as hell, DON’T HAVE CHILDREN. I have very little money. guess how many kids I have. NONE

    2. So if you’re in poverty you’re now not allowed to fall in love and have sex with someone you love? It’s so easy for people to say “just don’t have kids” when you have access to condoms, female birth control, and surgeries. This is really just a stance people make when they can’t see outside their own bubble. I doubt most of the people in harsh situations want to have kids when they have little to no resources to care for them, but human biology is human biology.

        1. I’m not sure if you’re joking or not since this is the internet, but if you aren’t then you must be from one of those states that does not offer comprehensive sex ed in school.

    3. We can’t always have what we want. For example, I would say to you that If you’re an idiot, and you don’t know fuck all about the world, don’t comment about it, but again, there’s nothing I can do.

  3. Cenk mentioned the false rumor about Snapple having a little ‘k’ that is supposed to represent the klan.

    Cenk then erroneously states that it was done sort of trademark symbol. It’s even more ironic because the little ‘k’ is actually the symbol for parve, and that some rabbinical council deemed Snapple iced tea as neither meat nor milk. Not sure if you could get further away from the KKK than some kosher law symbol.
