MSNBC's Chris Hayes spoke with Kaitlyn Hunt, the 18-year-old girl facing felony charges of sexual misconduct with a minor (and possible sex offender registration) based on her consensual relationship with a freshman female high school classmate. 

Kaitlyn's been offered a proposed plea deal that would require her to plead guilty to child abuse, be sentenced to two years of child abuse, and attend sex offender counseling (you know, with actual sex offenders).

In April we reported on Kristopher Sharp, the University of Houston-Downtown junior who was running to become vice president of the university's student body.

In a move that would have made Tracy Flick cringe in Election, someone that opposed Sharp's candidacy posted flyers announcing Kristopher's HIV-positive status with the question "Want AIDS?" blaring across the top. Kristopher was also accused of attempting to spread the "homosexual agenda."

Well apparently the students at UH-Downtown aren't easily influenced by fear-mongering and bigotry, because Kristopher won the election!

We found this fascinating—even more fascinating than finding out the creator isn't a food-phobic gay man based out of WeHo.

Rob Rhinehart, a 24-year-old Atlanta software engineer, is also the creator of Soylent, a cocktail comprised of all the "nutrients required by the body to function."
