  • Earn $20,000 – by completing a terrifying tour at a ‘Haunted House’

    Earn $20,000 – by completing a terrifying tour at a ‘Haunted House’

    Russ McKamey, owner of a Haunted House in Tennessee, offers visitors $20,000 if they complete a 10-hour tour of the house. The tour is apparently a very disturbing and horrifying experience. No one has so far been able to complete the tour. McKamey’s Manor tour is known as the scariest haunted attraction in the United States.

    Before you go on this haunted tour, you are required to sign a 40-page waiver, insurance and get a doctor’s clearance.

    Details of the waiver here:

    Participants who can visit the Manor have to be 18-20 with parental approval or be 21 and older. Once they go inside, “there is no quitting unless serious physical or psychological injury is present.” Having a panic attack doesn’t count!

    The haunted experience

    Reports say that the disturbing tour may also include choking, shock dog collars, and tasers.

    The waiver says that “injuries may occur during their tour…which may include, but not limited to, head, neck and back injuries, death, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.”

    No one has completed the haunted house tour

    Even though some visitors have taken legal action against McKamey, he’s protected by the waivers and video footage.

    A Change.org petition was started to shut down McKamey Manor, due to concerns over physical and mental trauma. Almost 60,000 people have signed it so far, which says the experience is “a torture chamber under disguise” and “some people have had to seek professional psychiatric help and medical care for extensive injuries”.

  • PEMRA’s notice to anchors was ‘a senseless blunder’, says Imran Khan

    PEMRA’s notice to anchors was ‘a senseless blunder’, says Imran Khan

    A Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) order recently barred television anchors from “giving their opinions” during talk shows and ordered them to limit their role to moderating the programme.

    The order faced severe backlash from media and also from PTI’s own ministers.

    Firdous Ashiq Awan complained about her fellow ministers to the Prime Minister

    Special Assistant to the PM on Media Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan complained to the PM that PTI’s ministers were talking about her as if they were in the opposition and reports said that PM Khan told them off.

    But according to a source, who was present at the meeting and told The Current, PM Khan didn’t tell them off but instead said that the PEMRA order was a “mistake” and was “beywakoofana” (senseless) but it’s better not to talk against it publicly.

    Fawad Chaudhry and another minister said that such orders shouldn’t be passed which have to be taken back.

    Anchor Shahzeb Khanzada also discussed the issue in his programme.

    Firdous Ashiq Awan and PTI ministers have been at odds before and there were rumours that she was going to be replaced.

  • VIDEO: ‘Usman Buzdar just got married again,’ claims journalist

    VIDEO: ‘Usman Buzdar just got married again,’ claims journalist

    Senior journalist and analyst Irshad Bhatti has claimed that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s blue-eyed subordinate, Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Sardar Usman Buzdar, has gotten married for the second time.

    As per the details, journalists on Geo News programme “Report Card” on Tuesday discussed the blunders being made by PM Imran’s team that the premier had constituted himself.

    “If you want to leave PM Imran out of all the criticism, do it. But it wasn’t us who formed his team,” Babar Sattar said.

    “You cannot absolve the premier. The person who made him [Usman Buzdar] Wasim Akram plus, must be held responsible,” he added while citing the example of the Punjab CM, who has retained his position despite severe criticism over poor performance.

    The remarks were followed by Bhatti’s revelation as he congratulated his colleagues over the alleged second marriage of the provincial chief executive. “I congratulate all of you as Buzdar Sahab has gotten married for the second time… and on top of that, stories surrounding his new in-laws are amazing,” he said.

    WATCH VIDEO:

    Bhatti also hinted at the development having something to do with the new house that the Punjab CM just purchased and his back-to-back trips to Khushab. “It’s his right to get married so it doesn’t matter, but the stories that follow, are astonishing.”

    He also alleged corruption on Buzdar’s part and later criticised him for his “inability” to bring out any reforms.

  • JUI-F protesters in Ronaldo’s Juventus jersey go viral

    JUI-F protesters in Ronaldo’s Juventus jersey go viral

    As the long-awaited Azadi March of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government continues, an image, showing protesters wearing Juventus jersey, has gone viral over the internet.

    Juventus Football Club, colloquially known as Juve, is an Italian professional football club. Among its star players are Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentinian professional footballer Paulo Dybala.

    While the reason behind the move remains a mystery, netizens wonder if it has something to do with the similarity that colours of the football club’s jersey — black and white — bear with those of the JUI-F’s party flag.

    AZADI MARCH:

    Meanwhile, the religio-political party’s long march on Tuesday reached Lahore via Multan.

    After the caravan arrived in Lahore from where it will head to Rawalpindi, a large crowd of supporters of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman joined their leader and chanted slogans against the government.

    Addressing his supporters, Fazl said JUI-F was going to Islamabad to announce that the incumbent rulers were fake. “Government should resign before we reach Islamabad,” he said.

    PM’s aide served show-cause notice over anti-judiciary media talk

    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday served a show-cause notice to Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (PM) for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan for her anti-judiciary press conference.

    Awan, while criticising the judiciary for granting former premier Nawaz Sharif bail on medical grounds, had on Tuesday said that the court had been “brought to order during the evening only to provide justice to jailed Nawaz”.

    “This will open a floodgate of similar requests by prisoners suffering from various diseases,” she had said.

    “While maligning the honourable courts [she] went to say that the case of the accused was heard during the evening ‘as a special dispensation’,” read Wednesday’s show-cause notice highlighting Awan’s remarks.

    The IHC observed that Awan “made an attempt to scandalise the court in the eyes of the public, thereby, tried to lower the esteem of the judiciary.” Seeking reason as to why the court should not proceed with contempt of court against the premier’s aide, IHC also summoned her on November 1.
