When I heard about two sisters from Stroudsburg, PA who were busted for dealing heroin, my first thought was what race they are.  Police say the women are believed to have been dealing heroin out of their Stroudsburg-area homes for almost six months and pulling in about $10,000 a week in sales.

According to court papers, police searched the sister’s homes and discovered 1000 bags of heroin at one residency and 400 bags at the other. A 28-year-old Allentown man was accused of being their supplier. The sisters stated that he would deliver drugs to their homes or the Burger King parking lot at the Stroud Mall. I was upset to hear that the heroin was not offered on the dollar menu at the local Burger King where the deliveries took place.

Under police watch, the women made arrangements to meet the supplier for picture-1a last drug deal and was  arrested when he arrived. The two women were  arrested later. The most shocking part of the story: the women where white. But what I really want to know is, where would two old white broads meet this guy? (Craigslist.)

This week Burger King started a new campaign called the Whopper Sacrifice campaign. Basically you’d get a free whopper any time you “sacrificed” 10 of your Facebook friends.

I thought it was hysterical and noted on one Linked In Group chat that the sacrificial lambs should receive a message accordingly.

Apparently BK had the same idea! The campaign was suspended later on today. Visitors were informed that “Facebook has disabled Whopper Sacrifice after your love of The Whopper sandwich proved to be stronger than 232,654 friendships.”

Facebook responded by saying the application is merely being tweaked for privacy reasons. Officials at the social network didn’t like that it alerted people who had been “un-friended” as part of the application.
