Leave a comment

imageROWAN COUNTY, Kentucky (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In her first interview since being put  behind bars for defying the Supreme Court ruling ordering her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis answered questions posed by The Adobo Chronicles®. (She made it very clear that she was granting us the interview “under God’s auhority.”)

Without much ado, we’re printing the full Q&A, unedited:

AChron: Do you still believe that marriage is only between a man and a woman?

Davis: Most definitely.

AChron: Do you believe that your God and ours is a loving God?

Davis: For sure.

AChron: Do you believe that God created all men and women to live in this world on equal footing?

Davis: Yes, but only straight men and women.

AChron: Do you believe in God’s commandment to “love thy neighbor as thyself?”

Davis : It’s God’s law, so yes.

AChron: Do you believe in the 7th commandment, “Thou shalt not commit adultery?”

Davis: Again, it’s God’s law, so yes.

Achron: Do you believe in the 10th commandment, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife (or husband) ?

Davis: This interview is so over. Have a good day!

IN NORTH CAROLINA, TAKING ‘SELFIES’ IS CONSIDERED A CRIME

Leave a comment

imageCUMBERLAND COUNTY, North Carolina  ( The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Taking ‘selfies’ has been officially declared a mental disorder — selfitis — by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) early last year.  Now, it is also a crime, at least in North Carolina.

A 17-year-old boy is facing 10 years in prison after being charged as an adult for having sexually explicit photos of a minor – himself.

Cormega Copening, from North Carolina, where the age of criminal responsibility is 16, is facing two counts of second-degree sexual exploitation and three counts of third-degree exploitation. The third-degree charges of sexual exploitation of a minor actually stem from the pictures Copening had of himself. Each count is a felony charge carrying at least two years in jail.

“In North Carolina you are considered an adult at 16 years old as far as being charged,” said Sgt. Sean Swain of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department. “But to disseminate and receive sexually explicit texts, photos or videos, you must be over 18.”

So when in North Carolina, be discreet when taking selfies, especially if you’re under 18. You will not only be diagnosed with selfitis. You will also be put behind bars.

CUPERTINO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The stage is set for Apple’s big announcement of its new products.  September 9 is the date when CEO Tim Cook unveils the new smart phones and tablets which would definitely seal his company’s status as the leader in computer technology.

While much of the speculation revolves around the new iPhone 6S, Apple says that the star of this year’s unveiling will be its new iPad Pro.

Expected to measure in at 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro will be Apple’s largest tablet, dwarfing both the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 and the 7.9-inch iPad mini 3. At 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro would be closest in size to the 13-inch MacBook Air.

The Adobo Chronicles® learned from an inside source that the iPad Pro will come with a free carrying case and strap, similar to the ones carried around by cigarette girls that roam bars and casinos (see inset photo).

Cook said that Apple does realize that the larger iPad Pro may be difficult to carry so it is being proactive by including a complimentary carrying case and strap for its new product.

The carrying case comes in three colors — black, red and green.
