An Ohio grocery chain has pulled a popular beer from its shelves because of its controversial name. Sweet Baby Jesus! is a chocolate and peanut butter porter by the Baltimore-based DuClaw Brewing Co. Heinen’s, a grocery store chain based in Cleveland, recently decided to stop selling the beer after customers complained that the name was “offensive.”
Heinen’s began selling the porter two months ago.
Duclaw founder Dave Benfield said
“When you push boundaries and try to get one group excited about it, inevitably people are going to get upset on one side or the other,” . “The name’s not meant to be offensive, it’s not meant to be derogatory… “We liked the phrase [Sweet Baby Jesus!], which at least to us, is a phrase of excitement or astonishment.”
Benfield said this is the first time the beer has been pulled from a chain of stores. Complaints about the name, however, are not new.
Benfield told reporters that the peanut butter porter has been removed from military bases in the past. But he noted that the beer often ends up being restocked after a few weeks.
“There’s a lot more people who are upset they can’t get it,” Benfield said.
However, +Sweet Baby Jesus! beer can still be found in several stores in Ohio.

The $10 bill, up for a redesign in 2020, will feature a female face, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced Wednesday. He’s also considering keeping Alexander Hamilton, the current resident of the bill and the nation’s first Treasury secretary, on some of the notes.
The decision to change the ten-spot came as feminist groups have been pushing for a woman on the currency in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Sharing space with Hamilton who not only conceived the nation’s financial system but also served as a protagonist in the nation’s first sex scandal wasn’t exactly what they had in mind.
A nonprofit organization, Women On 20s (Slogan: “A woman’s place is on the money”), has been campaigning instead to get rid of Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president, whose face appears on the $20 bill. Jackson’s record of removing Native Americans from their land and his opposition to the central banking system made him a good candidate to be yanked, they’ve argued.
Harriet Tubman was the winner of a poll the organization conducted to determine which woman should replace Jackson.
U.S. currency has rarely undergone major redesigns, but in 2013, the $10 bill was chosen for a remake partly to beef up protections against counterfeit threats, the Treasury said.
Lew said putting a woman on a bill had been under consideration well before his tenure at Treasury began, and President Barack Obama endorsed the idea last year, when he called it a “pretty good idea” during a July speech about the economy in Kansas City.
The Obama administration will be considering nominations of prominent women in U.S. history over the coming months and expects to announce its selection at the end of the summer, the Treasury said.
Lew said it was “personally very important” to him to preserve Hamilton’s place of honor on the $10. So whether it’s by printing $10s with different faces, or with multiple portraits on a single one, the woman will have to share with Hamilton.
In fact, Hamilton shared his bed with more than one woman making him one of the first subjects of a political sex scandal.
While his wife, Elizabeth, and kids were staying with relatives, Hamilton began an affair with a young woman named Maria Reynolds in 1791. He was secretary of the Treasury at the time, and Reynolds and her husband started extorting money from Hamilton. Hamilton eventually confessed to the affair in full detail in a pamphlet that also featured letters between him and his mistress.

Troubled singer Chris Brown is trying his best to be a good father by overindulging his only child, Royalty. Brown, who grew up in a violent single-parent household, did not have a good foundation to learn good parenting skills because his own mother lacked good parenting skills. Like most uninformed parents, Brown thinks spoiling his daughter with expensive gifts takes the place of good parenting.
But all it really does is create a narcissist who grows up expecting special attention from others. She will likely expect to get anything she wants — and she will throw a fit if she doesn’t get it.
Like most narcissists, Brown is very ative on social media, where he posts photos of himself, his toys, and now his daughter’s toys.
Child experts say the best way to raise a narcissist is to overindulge or over value your children.
Excessive praise such as telling children they are cute, pretty or handsome is equally harmful because it gives the child a false sense of self.
“When narcissists don’t get the special treatment they think they’re entitled to, they become angry and aggressive; they lash out at others in an aggressive manner,” Brad J. Bushman, PhD, professor of communication and psychology, Ohio State University, told Medscape Medical News.
“Convicted thieves, rapists, and murderers have some of the highest levels of narcissism,” he said.

The “Stay” beauty went to some extreme measures in order to set-up this introduction! Did the 27-year-old soccer hunk finally steal her heart (despite his somewhat shady past)?

Born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, The Game grew up in Los Angeles County and spent much of his childhood in the foster care system. His brother, Jevon, was shot and killed at the age of 17, and the incident had a huge impact on Game’s future music. The Game himself almost died in 2001 after being shot in his own apartment. During his lengthy stay in the hospital, The Game realized his new chance at life and formulated a plan to become a rapper.
The Game’s claim to success is his drive to bring back West Coast hip-hop. The deaths of Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E had a big impact on the young artist, and he has collaborated with Dr. Dre and Sean Combs to come up with new rap that is reminiscent of the old West Coast scene. His latest album, Jesus Piece, came out in December 2012. More photos below…
