Ana joins Cenk for SCS.  Vogue Magazine is catching heat for featuring Kanye and Kim Kardashian on the cover.  With the latest conflict going on in Crimea, Ukrainian women have formed a group that sanctions Russian men from having sex with them anymore.  This is not a new idea, but it has been very effective in the past.  Researchers in the UK have determined that certain dance moves of men trigger women’s sexual interest.  Hasan, aka BroTip helps illustrate these moves.  Albuquerque, NM police are in trouble for shooting and killing a homeless man that they caught illegally camping.  More information is out on the FBI’s killing of the Boston bomber’s friend at his apartment last year.  They claimed that he reached for a pole to attack them with, so they had to shoot him multiple times to stop him.  Their story has changed to him having a knife, to not having a knife, then back to him having a knife, to him knocking over the table, and finally to him grabbing a pole.  All of these frantic changes proves to Cenk that their story is b/s.  A 9 year old girl was banned from her school for shaving her head to show support to her best friend that lost her hair due to cancer treatments.  The school finally did reinstate her once negative attention was focused on them.  Four extreme skydiving enthusiasts have been arrested for a base jump from the World Trade Center that they executed last year.  These arrests were prompted by the teenager that snuck in last week and made it to the roof of the Center.  Discussion over how seriously they should be punished.
