EIGHT fishermen including two boys have been shot and beheaded in a gruesome attack at sea off the troubled southern Philippines.

The victims were among a group of fishermen who went missing after being attacked in the Moro Gulf off Mindanao island on December 26, said regional police spokesman Ariel Huesca.

Five headless corpses were first found aboard a boat drifting at sea on Friday by police who had gone in search of the missing fishermen, said Senior Inspector Joel Lozano, police chief of the district where the boat was taken.

“When we further inspected the boat (on Saturday morning), we discovered more headless bodies beneath the floorboard…. In all, it contained eight bodies,” Inspector Lozano told reporters.

The corpses, including those of two boys aged about 12 and 14, were all decomposing, suggesting they were killed a few days earlier, he said.

And The Big HoleMany viewers of the hit CBS show “2 Broke Girls” refuse to turn the other cheek — or the channel.

Instead, at least 91 “fans” of the show have made informal complaints to federal regulators over the last two years about the crude sexual double entendres and outright crassness of the show.

Among the complaints of dialogue containing such words and phrases as “shoot on my chest,” “penis alerts,” “bitches,” “girl-on-girl porn,” and “giving head,” according to the complaints sent to the FCC.

The bawdy show, created by Michael Patrick King, whose credits include “Sex and the City,” follows two young women — one rich, one poor — who work as waitresses and try to fulfill dreams of running their own cupcake business.

NEW YORK—The New York Daily News and New York Post are reporting on the arrest of a Brooklyn man by the NYPD hate crimes unit for five alleged “knockout” attacks perpetrated against women.

According to the reports, 35 year-old Barry Baldwin attacked his hapless victims from November 9 through Christmas eve. Victims were Jewish women ranging from 20 to 78 years of age. One woman had a 7 year old child with her for which prosecutors added a charge of endangering a child.

Initial reports had police treating this as a hate crime since it was specifically against the Jewish community. But it was, unfortunately, reported as being downgraded. Prosecutors would not comment on the reason for the downgrade from a hate crime.

“Everyone will sleep a little easier,” said Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who has been warning the community about the menace.
