Description

Ugly Christmas sweaters have started to take cues from their autumn cousin, the sexy Halloween costume, in their absurdity. Santa Claus is no longer the jolly old fat man, rather he is getting naughtier…pooping down chimneys and telling you about that big package he has for you. There are now hundreds of retailers stocking up on ugly sweaters with varying degrees of raunchiness. Maura Judkis, reporter at the Washington Post joins us for the evolution of the ugly Christmas sweater.




Next, the largest private security company in the world, G4S, has a problem with guns. It can’t seem to keep track of all the guns they supply to their security guards. An investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel shows that more than 600 guns have been reported lost or stolen and they sometimes end up being used in violent crimes and even murders. Gina Barton, investigative reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, joins us to talk about the hundreds of guns lost by G4S and where they were found.
