A recent attempt at a sacrifice to Satan has been met with ire from both the public and allegedly the big man himself:
> A teenager cut off her playmate’s fingers with an axe because she wanted to make a sacrifice to Satan
> Alena Skrivankova, 15, from the city of Brno in the south of the Czech Republic, had taken Jitka Svehlova, 10, to a nearby wood after telling the girl's parents they were going out to play.
> But as soon as they were out of sight she strapped the unwitting girl to a tree and then hacked her fingers off with an axe she had hidden in her backpack.
A police spokesman said:
> "Somehow the younger girl managed to escape and her horrified parents called the police.
> "When officers arrived at the scene they found the older girl sitting on the ground with the axe in one hand and the severed fingers in the other.
> "This is a deeply disturbing case."
> The girl was taken away for psychiatric assessment.
> Her victim is being treated in hospital.

Satan was unavailable for comment when TCNN reached out to his infernal majesty but he is rumored to have stated that he was "annoyed, unimpressed, and disappointed" with the botched sacrifice and that he blames the internet and slenderman for this latest fiasco.
In other news Ebola hype is out of hand and those of us in the first world should be more concerned with influenza and EV-D68.
NewYorker - Ebola VS Flu
> The flu [...] is all too familiar: many of us have had it. And, while we wouldn’t want to get it again, if we’re in good health we can feel confident that we would survive it. The fact that past flu crises turned out to be less devastating than experts predicted has made us skeptical about flu-related warnings. The fact that most flu fatalities are adults (in particular, the elderly) somehow makes the disease less alarming, even though it’s almost certain that more children will die of the flu this year than of EV-D68. Paradoxically, knowing that we have good ways to combat the flu makes us less concerned about the damage it does. You might think it newsworthy that, even though we have an easily accessible flu shot, the disease still sends hundreds of thousands of people to the hospital and, in some years, tens of thousands of people to the morgue. Instead, we consider flu fatalities to be one of those unfortunate facts of life.
> At work here is the curiously divergent and inconsistent way most of us think about risk. As a myriad of studies have shown, we tend to underestimate the risk of common perils and overestimate the risk of novel events. We fret about dying in a terrorist attack or a plane crash, but don’t spend much time worrying about dying in a car accident. We pay more attention to the danger of Ebola than to the far more relevant danger of flu, or of obesity or heart disease. It’s as if, in certain circumstances, the more frequently something kills, the less anxiety-producing we find it. We know that more than thirty thousand people are going to die on our roads this year, and we’ve accommodated ourselves to this number because it’s about the same every year. Control, too, matters: most of us think that whether we’re killed in a car accident or die of heart disease is under our control (as, to some degree, it is). As a result, we fear such outcomes less than those that can strike us out of the blue.
For the time being Ebola appears to be hiding out in Africa after it's street cred was ruined in N. America by influenza, so no1cars. In other news the domain ebolaDOTcom is available now for the paltry sum of $150,000USD
With all that said it's been a slow news day for TCNN so we leave you with a song from one of the UK's top up and coming musicians:
