When anxious tourists, a dark haunted house and high-speed photography meet, the results are pretty amazing.

The Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, Canada continues to upload an abundance of hilariously terrified reactions to Flickr in what has to be the biggest gallery of frightened faces you'll ever see.

Just like last year, the "victims" range from groups of kids on awkward middle school dates to dads dressed up like Indiana Jones and just about everything in between. A select few brave souls don't appear to be phased by the giant flash, but that just makes the terrified people around them that much funnier.

Victims 'Had A Very Long Battle To See Justice Done'

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The young man whose claims of abuse began the criminal investigation that put Jerry Sandusky in prison said he contemplated suicide because authorities took so long to prosecute the former Penn State assistant football coach.

Speaking out publicly by name for the first time, Aaron Fisher said in an interview airing Friday on ABC's "20/20" that the Pennsylvania attorney general's office had told him it needed more victims before Sandusky would be charged.

Fisher first reported the abuse in 2008. Sandusky was arrested last November. Fisher said the delay made him increasingly desperate.

"I thought maybe it would be easier to take myself out of the equation," he told ABC. "Let somebody else deal with it."

Fisher, now 18, testified as Victim 1 at Sandusky's trial. He, his mother and his psychologist have co-written a forthcoming book about his ordeal.

Fisher told jurors that Sandusky approached him through a summer camp for youth sponsored by The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth the former coach had founded.

Physical contact began with a hand on his leg in the car, Fisher said, and he began spending nights at the Sandusky home in State College, about 30 miles from his own home in Lock Haven, when he was 11 years old. Kissing and back rubbing during those overnight visits progressed to oral sex. He said he tried to distance himself from Sandusky, to no avail.

Fisher was 15 when he and his mother eventually reported the abuse to the school principal, who responded that "Jerry has a heart of gold and that he wouldn't do those type of things," Fisher told ABC, repeating his trial testimony.

"They tell me to go home and think about it," he told ABC.

School officials reported Sandusky to Clinton County Children and Youth Services, which began an investigation.

The Associated Press typically does not name sexual abuse victims, unless they identify themselves publicly, as Fisher has done.

As he came forward, Sandusky launched his effort to overturn his conviction, contending there wasn't enough evidence against him and the trial wasn't fair. His lawyers filed a 31-page document Thursday that attacked rulings by the judge, the closing argument by the prosecution and the speed by which he went from arrest to trial.

Sandusky wants the charges tossed out "and/or" a new trial, saying the statute of limitations had run out for many of the 45 counts for which he was convicted in June. Currently in a county jail near State College, he is awaiting transfer to the state prison system to begin serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.

"The defendant submits the court's sentence was excessive and tantamount … to a life sentence, which the defendant submits is in violation of his rights," his lawyers wrote.

A spokesman for the attorney general's office said the Sandusky filing was under review.

Fisher and seven other young men testified against him in June, describing a range of abuse they said included fondling and oral and anal sex when they were boys.

Sandusky didn't testify at his trial but has maintained his innocence in interviews and at sentencing.

Sandusky, 68, built a reputation as one of the country's premier defensive coaches while serving under head coach Joe Paterno, including two national championships. That image was shattered last year by his arrest.

The abuse scandal rocked Penn State, bringing down Paterno and the university's president and leading the NCAA, college sports' governing body, to levy unprecedented sanctions against the university's football program.

Two Penn State administrators were charged as a result of the investigation into the Sandusky allegations, accused of lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky and not reporting suspected child abuse to the proper authorities. Those two officials, athletic director Tim Curley, who is on administrative leave, and retired vice president Gary Schultz, await trial in January and maintain their innocence.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, hired by university trustees to conduct an investigation into the university's handling of abuse complaints against Sandusky, concluded that Paterno, who died in January, along with ousted President Graham Spanier, Curley and Schultz concealed a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity.

The late coach's family, as well as Spanier, Curley and Schultz, dispute Freeh's assertions.

Depicting Homophobia, Child Abuse

Dan Reimold

The Arizona Daily Wildcat at the University of Arizona is apologizing for publishing a controversial cartoon earlier this week that features a fairly horrific depiction of homophobia and child abuse.

The four-panel strip, run Tuesday, shows a father threatening his young son with bloody death and body discarding if he ever comes out as gay. As the father states unequivocally, "I will shoot you with my shotgun, roll you up in a carpet, and throw you off of a bridge." His son's– frankly, appalling-- response: "Well I guess that's what you call a 'Fruit Roll-Up!'" The final panel then portrays the pair laughing hysterically.

As expected, the outrage surrounding its publication has been swift and fierce. A portion of one letter to the editor from a UA student: "[T]his comic is inflammatory and beyond the limits of both humor and what should be published in this university's newspaper."

I included the Comic below but put it in a Spoiler so you can decide to look at it or not.

!

A separate comment on a related Change.org petition: "I am disgusted at this portrayal of homosexuality. I cannot believe my tuition is going towards this vile. I WILL NOT read the Daily Wildcat again until serious changes are made."

The student cartoonist has apologized. He said the strip was inspired by childhood memories of his "devout conservative" father being upset "I had learned (from 'The Simpsons') what homosexuality was at such a young age." As he wrote, "I have always used humor as a coping mechanism, much like society does when addressing social taboos. I do not condone these things; I simply don't ignore them. I do sincerely apologize and sympathize with anyone who may be offended . . . but keep in mind it is only a joke, and what's worse than a joke is a society that selectively ignores its problems."

The paper's editors also issued a statement of apology, admitting, "The Arizona Daily Wildcat does screw up, and acknowledging its mistakes and oversights is critical to its accountability. On Tuesday, the Wildcat staff made a serious error in judgment in printing a cartoon that some readers felt was homophobic and inappropriate. The views of individual staff members do not represent the views of the Wildcat, nor does the Wildcat reflect the views of the UA. However, printing the cartoon was irresponsible to our readers. We apologize."

Along with words, a few actions: Editors have fired the cartoonist. They pulled the print edition of Tuesday's paper from its Issuu archives. And they are reviewing the paper's editorial policies to ensure a similar strip is not run in the future.

My Take: I have immense respect for the Wildcat. The paper has distinguished itself numerous times in recent years, most notably its courageous, comprehensive coverage of the Tuscon shooting. This cartoon is far beneath the standards by which it normally operates.

It is brutally offensive. I'll be blunt: It is quite possibly the worst cartoon or comic depiction I've seen within the student press, and I've covered this world daily for half a decade. If there is a socially-conscious message buried in the strip, as the cartoonist suggests, it is so hidden I don't see it- at all.

If you thought there was nothing worse than being trapped inside an Abercrombie & Fitch store with hormonal pre-teens, thumping techno and headache-inspiring cologne, think again.

You've never been aboard CEO Mike Jeffries' corporate jet, a luxurious playpen where stewards are male models, Abercrombie & Fitch cologne #41 is sprayed at regular intervals throughout the day and carpets are vacuumed in perfectly straight lines.

According to a lawsuit outed by Bloomberg today, Jeffries and his "life partner" (as the lawsuit refers to him) Matthew Smith rule over the Gulfstream G550 with a compulsive attention to detail, requiring employees to abide by a 47-page manual that specifies everything from the seating arrangement of Jeffries' dogs to the precise temperature at which the crew may wear winter coats (50 degrees).

The documents in the lawsuit – filed in 2010 by a pilot who claimed he was fired for being too old -- lay Abercrombie & Fitch's secretive corporate culture and the private life of its CEO nearly as bare as its models' hairless chests.

Here are some highlights from the "Aircraft Standards" manual:

The four models or actors who work as cabin attendants must never respond to Matthew or Michael, as the manual refers to Jeffries and Smith, by saying anything but a friendly "no problem." Phrases like "sure" or "just a minute" are not permitted.

Crew members are provided with a specific uniform by Abercrombie & Fitch: jeans, boxer briefs, polo shirts and flip flops. When it is 50 degrees or colder outside, all crew members are required to wear winter coats. The jacket should be zipped up to the "forth button from the bottom," the manual specifies. "The lowest button should be left undone," it says.

Hats, meanwhile, are against the rules unless the temperature is below 40 degrees. When they are worn, brims must be two-inches thick and pulled down "approximately in the middle of the forehead."

Male staff (yes, only males) should "spritz" their uniforms with Abercrombie & Fitch #41 cologne "throughout the duration of the shift."

Fingerprints are not permitted. Cabin attendants must constantly check for fingerprints "on the credenza, cabin door, galley door, ledges and the cabinet doors in the lavatory." Seat belts should also be "free of fingerprints or marks."

The crew must monitor the tops of lamp bases for dust (they collect dust frequently, the manual states). When they vacuum, the crew must move from the front to the back of the aircraft to create "smooth, even lines."

Cabin attendants must remove all loose advertising and inserts from the 13 specific magazines that are stocked in the aircraft's credenza, as well as the newspapers which are bought on board. Different newspapers are to be stocked based on the day of the week and the region in which the aircraft is flying.

In bathrooms, eight washcloths (exactly eight) must be "tri-folded" and placed behind the vanity. Toilet paper must be left as a square and not folded.

On flights home, the crew must make sure to play the song "Take Me Home" as guests enter the cabin.

Before guests go to sleep, crew should "spray the bedding with sleep spray."

Michael and Matthew's dogs Ruby, Trouble and Sammy are nearly as picky as their owners, it seems. The manual outlines a five-point instruction set for seating the pets. "When Ruby and Trouble travel, Ruby will sit opposite Michael in the cabin, in Sammy's seat," it says. "When Sammy travels, Ruby will sit in Trouble's seat."

Crew can eat meals only on flights longer than two hours, and only food that is not "aromatic."

When serving what the manual calls "Matthew's Tea Service" (which consists of Assam tea in the morning and Darjeeling after 2 p.m.) crew should lay out a teaspoon that is exactly 5 and 1/4 inches long.

As Michael Bustin, the pilot suing Abercrombie & Fitch, put it in his deposition, "Every single aspect that you can imagine that affected the airplane or our behavior in it was controlled by Abercrombie & Fitch, specifically, Michael Jeffries and Matthew Smith."

Smith conducted monthly inspections of the jet hanger, according to a witness deposition. Smith had an "affinity for cleanliness and tidiness," the witness said. Once, when a jet mechanic showed up with an American flag sticker on his tool chest, Smith allegedly asked him to remove it because he wanted things to be "clean looking."

Smith, who works for Jeffries' personally, not for Abercrombie & Fitch, graduated from Saint Lawrence University in 1998, 54 years after Jeffries was born, according to his LinkedIn.

Though he turned 68 this year, Jeffries lives and breathes the Abercrombie & Fitch brand. The bleach-haired, taut-skinned executive lifts weights most mornings and sleeps next to a photo of a naked male torso, he told Businessweek in 2005 in one of the few interviews he's given.

According to Bustin, who claims he was replaced by a 32-year-old pilot, Jeffries is a little too obsessed with youth. "Smith and Jeffries made disparaging and exclusionary comments about older individuals and made it clear to [Bustin] that [Abercrombie & Fitch] preferred younger people as employees, in keeping with its 'young' corporate image," the original complaint stated.

Sports Leagues Join Celebrities, U.S. Landmarks In 'Going Purple' To Prevent Bullying

Players from all major professional sports leagues will be joining a number of Hollywood A-listers and even some prominent U.S. landmarks in "going purple" on Oct. 19, or "Spirit Day," in an effort to combat bullying.

A spokesman for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) confirmed the news to HuffPost Gay Voices in an email, calling the move an "unprecedented show of support."

The participants – which comprise the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS) and NASCAR -- will send messages to bullied lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth via Twitter and Facebook.

Reba McEntire, Ricky Martin, Paris Hilton and rock group fun. are just a few of the many high-profile celebrities who've similarly pledged to wear purple for Spirit Day, while the iconic "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, North Carolina's Duke Energy Tower, the New York Stock Exchange and Thomson Reuters' Times Square Screen will also be lit in a violet hue to honor the occasion.

In addition, HuffPost Gay Voices will also appear purple for the day.

"From sports leagues to faith institutions to national monuments, schools and celebrities, millions of Americans will unite this week in an unprecedented show of support for LGBT youth and in a stand against bullying,” GLAAD President Herndon Graddick said in the statement. “At a time when eight out of 10 LGBT youth report being harassed at school, it’s now more important than ever that we let every young person know that it’s okay to be who you are."

In a blog for HuffPost Gay Voices, viral video sensation turned prominent LGBT rights advocate Zach Wahls wrote, "The simple act of wearing or displaying the color purple on Spirit Day shows LGBTQ victims of bullying that they are not alone, no matter how their bullies try to make them feel. Without allies, acts of bullying can leave victims feeling excluded from society. Without allies, bullying victims are often left feeling stranded. But with allies, there is comfort."

Meanwhile, Katy Butler, the 17 year-old who earlier this year got the MPAA to change the rating of the film "Bully," has also launched a GLAAD-supported petition for President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to wear purple.
