Rochester, NY – The mayor’s latest effort to revitalize Rochester took place at one of the city’s hidden venues, Lux Lounge.

“We want to ensure that even the most basic dejected hipsters have an opportunity to begin a long and fulfilling career in Rochester.” The mayor told reporters.

Instead of resumes, applicants were asked to bring their art portfolios and a body map of their piercing locations. 

“We expect all applicants to have their septum pierced,” one recruiter told the Blog, “but nipple piercings are in high demand as well.”

Rochester, NY – “We’ve offered gift cards before but nothing has worked like this,” said Officer Darrell Peterson.

In an effort to keep guns off the streets of Rochester the city has offered chances for people to turn in weapons, no questions asked, in exchange for money. These Gun Buyback events have been sparsely attended in the past but that all changed today after they switched from offering cash to handing out produce. More specifically one egg per gun.

“It was insane that they thought $50 was enough for me to turn in my guns,” said one anonymous man we spoke to carrying a dozen eggs outside the event. “Now that they’ve got something that’s good, I’ll be back!”

The Rochester Police Department estimates that 95% of the weapons turned in came from drug dealers who are transitioning into chicken farmers.

“We’re going from slinging rocks to selling yolks,” said one former gang member. “Drug money is good but that egg money is like generational wealth.”

HERSHEY, PA – M&M made a statement recently with the introduction of their newest sex-positive character, Purple by having an all-women candy bag, which shocked people who are confused and disturbed my anthropomorphic candy.

Capitalizing on that reaction the company has decided to roll out some local m&m characters including a bag with only Brown, Yellow, & Red M&M to represent traditional garbage plate colors and promote depression awareness.

“We at M&M know we are more than just the most mediocre candy and have to be at the forefront of all social issues. That’s why we saw Rochester, NY a place known for a beloved dish that ultimately represents the sadness inside of us all to promote awareness of the scourge of depression.”

CEO Mr. Mars Barbo shouted into a microphone to awestruck candy fans

ROCHESTER, NY – Attempting to bridge the gap from college to adulthood can be tough especially when you go from dorms and beer pong to making $8/hr to work at Home Depot trying to pay off a 40k student loan.

Enter LubeSharks, a new bar in the public market that offers not only an extensive list of domestic and craft beers, but also a debt consolidation officer who will help you navigate through various options that will not help you whatsoever!

“It was a great time getting smashed trying not to think about the massive debt I’m in from getting a sports management degree at Nazareth 14 years ago, and once I was good and slammered a guy tried to offer me a loan to pay off my debt that would’ve been twice as much as I’m paying now. I mean I applied and he said I didn’t qualify but it’s a cool idea I guess. Go Bills.” – local college graduate Marvin Larva was heard muttering to nobody in particular

Pittsford, NY – A local woman just found out she is pregnant but can already tell her fetus is hitting key milestones of a highly intelligent baby.

“This fetus has no knowledge of the outside world and was just conceived, but I just know it is more gifted than other fetuses.” The woman told a confused-looking barista at Starbucks.

“Can you believe it is already saying mama and dada?” as she pointed to her belly, “this fetus is just so smart for its age!”

The woman told a random person standing in line that the fetus is really good at problem-solving especially after she eats a massive burrito from Chipotle.

“Mam, this is a Starbucks,” the barista told her.

Orchard Park, NY – Today the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots face off at Highmark Stadium for what is set to be an emotional matchup considering this is the first game the team has played since safety Damar Hamlin suffered from cardiac arrest.

Football fans attending the game are wondering how differently the team plays after such a traumatic event, what the stadium has in store for a tribute to Hamlin, and most importantly, will the Billdo tradition continue.

It has become commonplace to see at least one dildo thrown onto the field during a home game versus the Patriots and one fan is making sure that it continues.

“We need the Billdo more than ever,” says Dale Firven of Buffalo, NY. “Things are going to feel very heavy for good reason but between the tears, we need cheers, and that’s where this veiny bastard comes in.”

Firven said he will be making sure his timing is right but fully expects to “hit the center of the endzone” after the first Bills score.
