'Bully' Wins PG-13 Rating

The company announced Thursday that it had come out on top after a tussle with the Motion Picture Association of America to have the rating for the documentary Bully to be lowered to PG-13 from R.

The film began appearing in a limited release on March 30 without a rating, and the company had to yield some ground to earn the MPAA’s PG-13 stamp, removing three uses of the F-word from the final cut. The film has already won several positive reviews for it dark portrayal of students who are targeted by their peers.

Minnesota Waitress Gets To Keep $12,000 'Tip'

It's not everyday that someone gets handed off a wad of cash and then turns it into police knowing that if no one claims it within 90 days it will be theirs free and clear, especially after they were reassured of the deal. But a waitress in Minnesota just found out the hard way that honesty doesn't pay when dealing with her local police department in Moorhead.

The waitress, Stacy Knutson, said the money was a tip from a customer who knew she was broke and needed the money to help provide for her husband and five children. But the authorities think otherwise and say it is drug money, therefore she can't have it, even though the 90 days have expired, leaving it rightfully hers. But Moorhead's department changed their tune when the 90 days was over and pulled back on the claim she could make.

"I do know that the person gave me what was in that to-go bag," Stacy Knutson, a mother of five who works at the Fry'n Pan restaurant, wrote in the lawsuit filed in March. "Thus as I understand it, it is mine."

Since the police went back on their word, the waitress is suing the city of Moorhead for taking the money that should be rightfully hers. It is not just a little pocket change either, this waitress was handed a bag full of money counting out to well over $12,000.

Smallest U.S. Town Sells For $900,000

An unidentified Vietnamese man has purchased America’s self-titled smallest town in an auction.

For $900,000, he became the owner of Buford, Wyoming, with a population of one. The buyer, who attended the auction on his first trip to the US, now owns such spoils as a gas station, a convenience store, a 100 year-old- schoolhouse, and a three bedroom home at an altitude of 8,000 feet. The town originally came into existence when the Transcontinental Railroad was built, and once had a couple thousand inhabitants before the train changed paths.

The previous owner plans to write a book about his 20-year reign as “mayor” of Buford.
