In another effort to win back customer trust, McDonald’s, which still remains tainted by science revelations, the much publicized “Super Size Me” documentary and their murder of Billy Mays via a full-on attack of the cardio-region, is planning to unveil ChargePoint electric car chargers, at least at one location so far.

I’m not sure of of what the correlation is between electrical car owners and their frequency fast food eating, but I imagine that ratio would have to be pretty high for this plan to be a success. The eco-McDonald’s is scheduled to open in Cary, North Carolina, of all places, on July 14th.

Has everyone in North Carolina lost their sense of humor? It certainly wouldn’t surprise me.

A North Carolina State University student named Joseph Carnevale was charged with larceny for creating a monster on the side of the road. He used a bunch of construction barrels and lights to make it. Look at how cool that thing is! While I understand that you can’t go around taking other people’s property, you’d think someone in the legal system would have been a sport about it.

Motion-sensitive surveillance cameras at a high school in Asheville, North Carolina captured footage that may show a Ghost in action. At just before three in the morning on August 1st, the cameras turned on and filmed a shadowy figure slowly walking through the high school’s rotunda. After getting these shots, the cameras shut off for 24 seconds indicating a lack of movement before turning back on and capturing more footage of what appears to be the same shadowy figure floating around the room.

Instead of calling in video experts to analyze the ghostly images, reporters interviewed people at a nearby restaurant and high school staff who speculated that the video shows “the ghost of some former student who’s really angry with his teacher.” Clearly, the local news media is more interested in keeping this story alive during the slow summer news cycle than they are in actually getting answers. Personally, I would have called in Ghostbusters to handle to the situation instead of the useless reporters.
