– A young man may be facing life in prison for the murder of his father. Unfortunately, that is not very WTF in and of itself. It’s the supposed reason that makes the head spin—his dad insulted him with regard to actress Megan Fox:

Father and son relationships can be really deep and complicated. The one that existed between Jason Beckman and his father Jay doesn’t seem like it was an exception. At age 17, the teen — who reportedly has Asperger’s Syndrome — approached his dad to ask what he thought of actress Megan Fox. Who knows, maybe he wanted to have one of those fabled father-son moments where both can finally bond, like men, over the objective attractiveness of a well-known starlet. But dad’s response — that Jason wouldn’t know what to do with a woman like Megan — left the teen cold. And spurred in him a desire to plot and ultimately commit the horrific murder of his father.

Now 21, Jason was convicted of first-degree murder last night and faces life in prison.

I’m not saying another word about this one.

– A French family involuntarily spent a week in Chicago because the family patriarch was too fat to fit on the airplane. British Airways reportedly refused to allow the 500-lb. man to board the plane, although they seem to have attempted to help him figure out other options. They also offered a full refund to the family. NBC News mentions in its report that that the man was in the U.S. to receive treatment at the Mayo Clinic for a “hormone disorder,” and that gained weight while here. That would perhaps explain how he got to the U.S. on an airplane, I suppose, but there’s an annoying bit of an element of “It’s not his fault he’s so goshdarn fat” to the story, too.

– Hey, is that an apple you’re eating? Well, ur doin it wrong.
