Boston woman gets neck tattoo that resembles Blue Jays logo, Twitter goes nuts

Sometimes a tattoo is just a tattoo.

So says Amanda Fiske, the 25-year-old Boston dog walker who has been given the gears by some people online for her blue jay and red maple leaf neck tattoo that also resembles a certain Toronto sports team logo.

Fiske, who got the skintag a year ago, didn’t know her ink — inspired by her love of blue jay birds who used to chow down on a bird feeder at her parents home in the Boston suburbs, and the fall colours of New England, according to an interview she recently did with VICE — was a dead ringer for the Toronto Blue Jays logo.

A pal pointed it out so she brought it up on her own Twitter account a year ago.

“Okay well my neck is LITERALLY the Toronto blue jays logo. F—,” she wrote at the time and then moved on.

Then other sports fans got into the mix, including Chicago Cubs fan Jon Teegs who only just tweeted adjoining photos of her tattoo and the Blue Jays logo last Saturday — writing it was the “funniest thing I’ve seen all day.”

His tweet since got over 3,000 retweets and 14,000 likes.

Subsequently, Fiske put out a statement on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts on Tuesday (June 12) to clarify the whole situation.

“Look,” she wrote. “I love my blue jay tattoo, it’s my favorite thing on my body. This whole thing has gotten so out of control, people are blowing it out of proportion, I don’t want to get rid of it or cover it etc. I’ve had it almost a year now and I don’t regret it at all so for the love of god don’t twist my words. I’m making this public because the amount of messages I’ve been getting is kind of stupid. Thanks and have a lovely day xo.”

Stupid on Twitter? C’mon!

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armor remains undiminished in “Johnny English Strikes Again.” As this sequel begins, Jo

What can we learn from the people Trump has pardoned so far?

T he presidential pardon has never been a particularly fair or impartial instrument of government – it’s effectively circumventing the judicial system at the whim of whoever is in office. Democratic and Republican presidents have offered pardons to those on their side of key issues, and in some cases (Bill Clinton’s pardon of former Democratic congressman Mel Reynolds on federal fraud charges, for example) pardons have been given to political allies with little wider moral justification. Some presidents, including George W Bush and Barack Obama, have relied more on the pardon attorney’s office to recommend who to grant clemency to and have been less personally involved, although the pardons given still tend to reflect the sitting president’s wider politics. On Wednesday, Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who has spent over 20 years in prison for non-violent drug crimes. It’s the sort of pardon decision previous presidents might well have mad
