News reports about witnesses to atrocities already have confirmed the beheading of babies, the violent rape of victims, sometimes even after...

These Kmart stores in Australia probably had zero idea that this hilarious "Merry Ham-Mas" bag — an unfortunately punny bag meant for storing ham in the fridge — would get them in trouble. But one look at the bag and you'll shortly realize why they're pulling it from the shelves. "Yes, Merry Hamas from all of us at Kmart. Don't forget to search our kids' section for ammunition. We got some great deals back there. If you're looking for firearms themselves you'll have to head to the pharmacy and they'll help you out." Totally kidding you guys, I needed to...
