    Kmart product sparks outrage due to tiny detail that 'tricked' many shoppers

    I find it deceptive: even though it may say "globe not included". Should have said in "large" letters on the front "for illustation purposes only....globe to be purchased separately"! I showed the picture to my husband and he thought it was as shown also.

    Elderly woman left in critical condition after horrific hospital attack

    There are no words to describe how I feel. If ever you needed evidence that society has well and truly disintegrated this is another example. We hear something every day along similar lines. So glad I grew up in the era I did and my days on this earth are numbered.
