26-year-old Luc Anus is running for city council. But when a friend posted Luc's campaign poster on Facebook, the site flagged it as inappropriate. As a result, he is now listed as "Luc Anu" on Facebook, which looks more like the name of a Star Wars character than a real person.
Alongside a picture of his now-viral election poster, one person commented: "That’s a beautiful name for a party which f**** you from behind."

42-year-old Tommie Walker, known by his stage name Columbia BT, was indicted on federal drug trafficking charges earlier this month.

Police confiscated $220,000 in cash and 135 kilograms of cocaine. The street value of the drugs is said to be $4 million. Walker has been charged with three counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine. [XXLmag.com]
