AP Gets it Wrong Again

AP News -- Authorities say a disagreement over a frozen snack led a Mississippi teenager to fatally shoot his father and threaten his mother. Curtis McCray Jr., 16, was arrested and charged with murder last week after allegedly shooting Curtis McCray Sr. with a shotgun from about 20 feet away, the Pike County Sheriff's Department said. Investigator David Haywood said the shooting occurred after the teen was punished for being involved in a minor wreck, and the boy became enraged when his parents returned home eating Sno-Balls and there wasn't one for him.
Now every good-blooded American* knows that Sno-Balls are not a frozen treat, but rather a pink coconut and marshmallow covered, cream filled, chocolate sponge cake. And of course there wasn’t one for him – they only come two to a pack. Duh.

* Oops, sorry. I forgot that this was not coming from a good-blooded American, but rather the Associated Press, which somehow manages to get killer photographs from 3 or 4 different angles of every murder and car bomb in Iraq.
