Round One
Boner Candidate #1: DRONE DUMMIES.
Aerial resources fighting the Alaska Fire near Provo Thursday were grounded after someone flew a drone in the area. As of Thursday the fire is burning on an estimated 400 acres and containment is at 10 percent. The fire is on a mountainside northeast of Springville, near Provo. Fire officials stated around 8:40 a.m. that a drone intrusion occurred, which forced them to ground aerial resources fighting the fire. Drone use is not permitted in the no-fly zones set up around wildfires. A section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail below the fire is closed between Slate Canyon and Little Rock Canyon. Crews will continue firefighting efforts Thursday. Officials said the steep and rocky terrain makes some areas inaccessible to hand crews. The fire was first reported Tuesday just before 11 p.m. The fire is believed to be human caused, and investigators are working to determine exactly how the fire began. Read More
Boner Candidate #2: SUPER CREEPY.
Boner Candidate #3: IN FLIGHT MIS-BEHAVIOR.
Pro golfer Thorbjorn Olesen was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London on Monday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman mid-flight … and then PEEING in the aisle. Officials say 29-year-old Olesen — who placed 6th at the 2013 Masters — was a drunken menace on his flight from Nashville to London … screaming at passengers and acting like a moron. The most serious allegation is the alleged molestation of a female passenger. The details surrounding that particular incident is unclear. During the hellish flight, a witness told The Sun … Olesen began urinating right in the aisle of the 1st class cabin. Olesen was traveling with fellow PGA star Ian Poulter — the two had competed in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis over the weekend. Poulter reportedly tried to diffuse the situation during the flight … and when he felt Olesen was under control, he decided to take a nap. But, when he woke up, Poulter’s rep says the golfer learned about the wild allegations against his fellow golf pro. In other words, Poulter feels he doesn’t deserve a single ounce of blame. The Met. Police Dept. (the agency which took Olesen into custody in London) tells TMZ Sports Olesen was booked on several charges including “suspicion of sexual assault, being drunk on board an aircraft and failing to comply with the orders of cabin crew.” Read More
Round Two
Boner Candidate #1: I HAVE THE DISEASE OF BEING OFFENDED.
A painted image of a Native American and the name “Redmen” will remain as a city marker in Cedar City despite a decision to change the high-school mascot that inspired it. The Spectrum newspaper reports the Cedar City council approved the measure on Wednesday with a four-to-one-vote. Councilman R. Scott Phillips said he voted against it because he was uncomfortable acting on a school district issue. His colleague Paul Cozzens said being “offended at everything” is a “disease we have in this country.” The name team name at Cedar High School was changed in February after critics said it was racist and shouldn’t be celebrated. The city has not gotten any requests to change the water tank. It will not be responsible for maintaining the 1970s-era picture. Read More

Boner Candidate #3: I THOUGHT I WAS HER.
