- In Norfolk, VA, farmer Marlon Brooks has been struggling to come up with a scarecrow scary enough to keep the pigeons away from his sugar beet crops. Then he got creative and came up with one so terrifying, so disturbing, he says its been working like a charm. His new scarecrow is modeled after singer Amy Winehouse, complete with her trademark beehive and tattoo, and clutching a cigarette and a bottle of booze. The new scarecrow has worked so well that Marlon thinks May should win an award for “her services to the farming industry.” Marlon says “Every farmer needs an Amy scarecrow.”

I said ‘did you just kick me’, and she said ‘yah’, I said ‘why’, she said ‘because you weren’t moving fast enough’, then she slammed the door in my face.” No word on what disciplinary actions the school has taken, if any.
