A Possible Hoax on KFC


A possible hoax on KFC started with a 3-year-old, Victoria Wilcher, that had been attacked by her family's pit bulls and was reportedly asked to depart a store in Jackson, Mississippi because her scarred face upset customers.

The idea of a child being kicked out of KFC went viral. A GoFundMe page was put in place for Wilcher and it collected over $100,000, but the page was taken down after evidence points to a possible hoax on KFC.

Teri Rials Bates, Wilcher's aunt, runs the Facebook page, Victoria's Victories, that had over $190,360 likes which is no longer available or can not be pulled up. The page gave reports of Wilcher's healing process as well as a description of her injuries.

The grandmother's, Kelly Mullins, account to a TV station of how she and Wilcher were told to beat it by KFC and the facts are not matching. The KFC in question has not had its doors open for many years, but Teri Rials Bates explained that it happened at some other store location. It is dubbed "Kentucky Fried Hoax," Mississippi Laurel Leader-Call.

The security camera from KFC close to the hospital she visits has no one looking like Wilcher, or the KFC that was first reported by the grandmother, May 15 per Leader-Call. The grandmother explained that she ordered mashed potatoes and sweet tea, but no evidence from orders taken that day confirms it.

KFC is not in the habit of pushing people out of the door, and "respects" all people. KFC decided to help with $30,000 toward Wilcher's medical bills. The family's fund rising efforts online began April 28 through GoFundMe that had a total over $578 until the KFC incident went viral. Many people are weighing in on the situation, from social media to Internationally. Comments are from wait for the facts to hoax. The family has not made a decision to accept KFC's $30,000 according to reports.

Controversy Surrounds Bowe Bergdahl


Controversy surrounds Bowe Bergdahl, 28, on the point of whether or not he is a hero or deserter. Bergdahl was recovered by U. S. Special Forces without any problems in Afghanistan after five years of captivity by the militants, according to reports.

It is unclear how Bergdahl stumbled on the militant group, or the reason his post became empty. "We really don't know why he left the base and under what circumstances," Rear Admiral John Kirby. The Army never considered Bergdahl a deserter, and he is to receive a promotion within the next month.

Controversy started from the search for Bergdahl, as why he left his post to where he was captured. It does not stop there, according to sources, Bergdahl was not happy with the Army, it's goals or the United States, but it has not been confirmed.

Controversy surrounds Bowe Bergdahl and a tweet by Bergdahl's father that has been removed stirred up more conflict via Twitchy.



The above tweet was sent about three days before Bergdahl's release but was deleted. Bergdahl's father turned to learning about Islamic politics, Bob Henley -- Bergdshl's former pastor. Bergdahl's father spent time learning about the country, people and culture.

Controversy surrounds Bowe Bergdahl when it comes to his fellow soldiers, and they are not calling him a hero. The soldiers who served with Bergdahl find fault with him, accusing him of being "selfish." It was a war when "Bowe Bergdahl deserted," Matt Vierkant, former Sergeant in Bergdahl's platoon. Soldiers were killed "searching for him." Bergdahl's former platoon leader, Evan Buetow, sides with those calling him a deserter and is leading the line of callers for a military trial.

Controversy is being splashed on President Obama for exchanging five Taliban prisoners for Bergdahl, Guantanamo Bay terrorists. President Obama acknowledged the "possibility" that the five may go back to "activities that are detrimental." The newly released five are the "hardest and toughest," Senator John McCain. Bergdahl's health was the factor than sparked the move to make an exchange. 

Bergdahl's supporters are cheering President Obama's actions, especially in Hailey, Idaho where he lives. Bergdahl will have to learn to speak English again, because of the problems he is having with it.

Controversy surrounds Bowe Bergdahl, but after his side of the story is told could clear away questions, doubts and suspicions. Bergdahl is going through a "reintegration process," Defense Officials. President Obama is not requesting forgiveness and offers "no apology" for the decision.

Evan Spiegel CEO of Snapchat Spicy Emails


Evan Spiegel CEO of Snapchat spicy emails floated to the public front last week as one email pokes fun at the reasons for laser tag games, "shoot lasers at fat girls," according to Gawker's blog. The emails were sent during Spiegel's time at Stanford University to other fraternity brothers. Spiegel, 23, made notes to himself in which a reminder was jotted down that read, "don't pee on Lily again."

Spiegel's, Snapchat application (app) became known for its disappearing messages within seconds after they have been read, issued apology was dropped on the heels of emails that degraded females. Spiegel was disturbed or "mortified" by emails he wrote and shared while in college.

The spicy emails from 2009 supported a certain behavior toward women, and was sent to other fraternity members like getting as much sex from from women as possible. Spiegel's goal was to "get laid," and he had a go to list for illegal drugs. Spiegel did not make it to graduation, because he stopped attending a few classes short of receiving a degree.

Evan Spiegel CEO of Snapchat spicy emails does not represent how he feels today, "They in no way reflect who I am today." Spiegel is not in jeopardy of losing his job, because "he was a kid" and kids make mistakes per reports.

Conflict came as a claim in which Snapchat was not truthful about disappearing messages, but was settled with the U. S. Federal Trade Commission. Frank Reginald Brown is of the opinion that the app idea was his, to message, send photos and disappearing messages. Snapchat has a restraining order against Brown. Snapchat raised millions of dollars during the past year. 

Spiegel's emails shines a light on the treatment of females by males in schools, colleges and universities. The increase of violent attacks on females ignited concern and discussion about it. A recent attack by Elliot Rodger, 22-year-old, in CA killed two females, others too, injured even more and took his own life. Rodger's reasons were that females did not give him what he thought they should have. It is just one of many assaults on females at schools, colleges, universities.

Evan Spiegel CEO of Snapchat spicy emails opened the door to reports of how immature he is to how Spiegel keeps upstaging the product. Stanford University's issued letter on Spiegel's emails found them "offensive," reports. A month passed after the party when Spiegel thanked fraternity brothers for having a successful party.
