Our office parking lot does belong to our company, therefore the parking lot is technically private property. there are plenty of spaces and my boss is usually one of the first ones in the office so he really can choose from just about any spot. In Ohio, what is the rule for parking in a handicapped spot (if you're not physically disabled) and what can I do to report him to the local authorities? I've brought it to the attention of our HR department, however the general manager is at a higher position so they will not do anything.

Call the cops (non emergency) to let them know what he is doing and see what they can do about it. now if he has a placard he might be handicapped but it might not be obvious so I wouldn't be so sure he is taking the spot illegally but reporting him wont do any harm if he is allowed to park there.

You can call the city's parking enforcement department (sometimes it's part of the police department, sometimes separate) and ask them to come by and check.

But if it's private property, it might be difficult for them to do anything unless someone else who is actually handicapped needed the spot.

Just notify the police on their non-emergency line (might be 311), and report it. That's all you can do.

uh…I have enough in my day that i don't need that kind of trouble. I'd obsess over something else.

My boss parks in the handicapped spot everyday. How can I report him to teach him a lesson?

And they’re bringing two older men with them. also today: 3D war movies are the most reverential of 3D movies, some funny Emmys reporting, and that SNL news that’s been all over.

Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds — who are essentially the same person, just one is cold (Reynolds) and one is heat (Bradley Cooper) — have signed up to star in an action picture about two men living in San Francisco. Yes. It’s like Full House, only less kinky. Well, actually it might be kinda kinky. They team up with old men! It’s called Tender Loins. Well, that’s just my working title. It’s actually about cops partnering with their dads, retired cops, to stop crimes. It’s written by Sheldon Turner, who wrote Up in the Air. Aha. Isn’t that exactly what you thought when watching Up in the Air? “This is wistful and slick. I’d like to see a wistful and slick action movie from this guy.” That’s usually what I think. Well, I think that after I think “I’d like to see a wistful and slick gay erotic San Francisco adventure from this guy.” [THR]

Warner Bros. has purchased a movie pitch from Bruce McKenna (who did The Pacific) about the famous Battle of Midway, the immense WWII naval and air battle that helped turn the tide of the Pacific campaign. It killed 2,300 people and whatnot, but really what’s important about this movie is that it’s going to be in 3D!!!! Isn’t that great, greatest generation?? your shit is now gonna be in the third dimension. the carnage of war is much carnageier when it’s In your Face. plus, funny glasses are really the best way to gravely commemorate anything. Wootz. [Variety]

John Woo (Windtalkers: the Legend of Adam Beach’s Career) is doing his own WWII aviation picture, this one called Flying Tigers, about the 14th Air Force teaming up with a buncha Chinese pilots to take on the soldiers of the Rising Sun. the whole thing is going to be in IMAX because, again, the best way to honor the troops and airmen is through big flashing in-ya-face imagery. In reality, the only military types that should be in your face are seamen. [Deadline]

This is old news, but we missed it on Friday and now it’s everywhere so here it is. Saturday Night Live has found three new cast members, one girl and two boys. They are Paul Brittain, Taran Killam, and Vanessa Bayer. Brittain and Bayer are Chicago comedy nerds, while Killam has been hoofing it out in LA for a while, doing things with bill “Srubbles” Lawrence. Killam was supposed to be in a show this fall, the congressional sitcom Freshmen, but it didn’t kept picked up. So that’s that. three new white folks to make ya chuckle as you doze on the couch and spill wine on your pants. or as you watch it DVR’d the next day, dozing and spilling cheese sauce on your pants. have you guys figured out that when I say “you”, I’m talking about ME? You haven’t? OK, good. I’m talking about you. [Comic's Comic]

Aha! more 3D! this time it sorrrt of makes more sense, given that it’s a kids movie. The Nutcracker 3D has found a distributor, so it will be Russian-dancing into a theater near you this Thanksgiving. Nathan Lane plays Uncle Albert, so, y’know, run don’t walk. plus there’s Elle Fanning and the whole thing was shot on location in Budapest. But that’s not the best news. the best news is: Tim Rice wrote additional songs for the damn thing, as a supplement to the Tchaikovsky music. Yes! A whole thing based around a piece of music apparently doesn’t have enough music, so bring in the Lion King guy. I’m really excited for “Hakuna Ma Walnuts” and “Can You Feel the Plum Sugar Tonight?”. They’re going to be marvelous. [Deadline]

Haha, here’s an awkward, sad tidbit from Emmys Ground Zero. Apparently NBC was broadcasting their red carpet coverage in the actual theater, so toward the end when they started talking about dress “misses”, a lot of the people with bad dresses were in the theater already, watching. Ha ha! that is such a chin-on-hand, awwww shucks kind of sad thing. “Awww fiddletoots. They doesn’t like mah potater sack.” Wump wump. “Billy Bush don’t like me fancyslacks. Cinnamon and sugarsnaps.” Nicely done, Emmys producers. way to just make people feel bad for the most important reason ever, fashion. It’s one thing to talk about it when they’re not around, but to just be straight up “Here, sit and watch us criticize you,” is terrific. “Ohhh fingernubs. Nate Berkus sure didn’t take to mah stompin’ gown. Guess I’d better just go shuck wheat.” [The Wrap]

Stepping off a boat in the shoes of illegal immigrant Niko Bellic as he arrives in Liberty City at the start of Grand Theft Auto IV, you can tell immediately that Rockstar North’s latest offering is something quite special. Yes, this is another GTA game in which you’ll likely spend the bulk of your time stealing cars and gunning down cops and criminals, but it’s also much more than that. GTAIV is a game with a compelling and nonlinear storyline, a game with a great protagonist who you can’t help but like, and a game that boasts a plethora of online multiplayer features in addition to its lengthy story mode. It’s not without some flaws, but GTAIV is undoubtedly the best Grand Theft Auto yet.

One of the many things that set GTAIV apart from its predecessors is Liberty City, which is more convincing as a living, breathing urban environment than anything that you’ve seen in a game before, and bears little resemblance to its namesake in 2001′s GTAIII. Liberty’s diverse population believably attempts to go about its daily business, seemingly unaware that several criminal factions are at war in the city. Niko has no such luck. He’s compelled to start working for one of the factions shortly after arriving, when he learns that his cousin Roman has some potentially fatal gambling debts. Niko’s military experience makes him a useful freelancer for employers in the business of killing each other, and though his reluctance to carry out their orders is often apparent, he does whatever is asked of him in the hope that completing missions for other people will ultimately give him the means to complete his own.

Actually, Niko doesn’t have to do everything that is asked of him. On several occasions as you play through his story, you’ll be presented with decisions that afford you the option of doing what you think is right rather than blindly following instructions. You don’t necessarily have to kill a target if he or she promises to disappear, but you have to weigh the risk of your employer finding out against the possibility that the person whose life you spare might prove useful later in the game, or even have work for you in the form of bonus missions. To say anything more specific on this subject would be to risk spoiling one of GTAIV’s most interesting new features, but suffice it to say that every decision you make has consequences, and you’ll likely want to play through the game at least twice to see how the alternatives unfold.

Grand Theft Auto IV’s story mode can be beaten in less than 30 hours, and there are so many optional activities and side missions to take part in along the way that you can comfortably double that number if you’re in no hurry. the majority of the story missions task you with making deliveries and/or killing people, and play out in much the same way as those in previous games. With that said, most of the missions are a lot easier this time around, partly because Niko is a more agile and efficient killer than any of his predecessors, and partly because the LCPD seemingly has better things to do than hunt down an illegal immigrant who’s gunning down undesirables all over the city. Some of the more imaginative missions sprinkled throughout the story include a kidnapping, a bank heist, and a job interview. the cinematic cutscenes associated with story missions are superbly presented and are the sequences in which the game’s characters really shine. without exception, the characters you encounter benefit from great animation, great voice work, and superbly expressive faces. They’re not always so impressive when they join you on a mission and refuse to do what they’re supposed to (for example, not following you on an escort mission, or failing to negotiate a doorway). Nevertheless, these problems are few and far between, and they’re made less painful by the new “replay mission” option that you’re presented with whenever you fail.

New abilities in Niko’s arsenal include scaling fences and walls anywhere he can get a foothold, shimmying along ledges, and, most importantly, taking cover behind objects. the ability to stick close to walls, parked cars, and the like at the touch of a button makes GTAIV’s gunplay a huge improvement over that in previous games, and, in tandem with the new targeting system, it also makes it a lot easier. Enemies are rarely smart enough to get to you while you’re in cover, and given that you can lock your targeting reticle on to them even when they’re hidden, all you have to do is wait for them to poke their heads out and then pick them off with a minimum of effort. Locking on to enemies targets their torso by default, but you can use the right analog stick to fine-tune your aim and kill them more quickly with a headshot or two. Playing without using the lock-on feature make things more difficult, but youll need to master the technique so that you can shoot blindly at enemies from positions of cover when you dare not poke your own head out to line up the shot.

Given the amount of trouble that you get into as you play through the story mode, it’s inevitable that the police are going to get involved from time to time, even when their presence isn’t a scripted feature of your mission. Liberty City’s boys in blue are quick to respond when you get flagged with a wanted level of between one and six stars, but they’re not nearly as tough to deal with as their counterparts in previous GTA games. They don’t drive as quickly when pursuing you, they rarely bother to set up roadblocks, and you’ll need to blow up practically an entire city block before the FIB (that’s not a typo) show up. furthermore, you’re given an unfair advantage in the form of your GPS system; when you’re not using it to plot a valid route to any waypoint of your choosing, it doubles as a kind of police scanner. Any time you have a brush with the law, the GPS shows you the exact locations of patrol cars and cops on foot in your area, and highlights the circular area (centered on your last known whereabouts) where they’re concentrating their search. To escape, all you need to do is move outside the circle and then avoid being seen for 10 seconds or so, which is often best achieved by finding a safe spot and just sitting there. It’s not a bad system in theory, but in practice it makes dodging the law a little too easy, especially when your wanted level is low and the search area is small.

When you’re not running missions for criminals, taking part in street races, stealing cars to order, or randomly causing trouble, you’ll find that there are plenty of opportunities to unwind in Liberty City. Some of these optional activities offer tangible rewards that can prove useful in missions later on, whereas others are just a fun way to kill time and take in more of GTAIV’s superb humor. For example, you can watch television, listen to numerous different radio stations, check out some genuinely funny shows (including some big-name acts) at cabaret and comedy clubs, and use a computer to surf the in-game Internet.

GTAIV’s Internet is filled with spoofs of all the kinds of Web sites that you’d only ever look at accidentally or when you know there’s no danger of getting caught. Some of them can be found only by clicking on links in spam e-mails, whereas others are advertised prominently on the search page. There’s plenty of amusing stuff to find if you spend some time in one of the “TW@” Internet cafes, but the most interesting site by far is an online dating agency through which you can meet women who, if they like your profile, will agree to go on dates with you. Dating and socializing with friends is something you can spend as much or as little of your time doing as you like, and though the people you meet can occasionally be demanding to the point that they become irritating, keeping them happy invariably benefits you in some way.

As a former McDonalds Chicken McNugget maker at the tender age of 16 I can attest to the quantity of McNuggets that are sold on a daily basis. They seem to become a dietary staple for some people. Are we really at such a breaking point that Mcdonalds can create such community havoc that we actually resort to calling the cops because they ran out of McCracknuggets? I pass two or three McDonalds just driving down one road. Did this woman ever think it might just make sense to go to the next one?

Upon questioning later that week the woman reported having a nervous break down. WHAT? Cmon this has to be a joke right? Sorry can’t make this stuff up people. Next thing you know there will be ball pit riots stay tuned.
