Stephen King compares Trump to Cthulhu — and now Cthulhu is pissed
In slamming Donald Trump, horror author Stephen King stirred up Twitter trouble with one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most horrific creations, the Huffington Post reported.
The online run-in was prompted by King joking on Twitter that per “reliable sources,” the GOP presidential nominee was actually the Great Old One in disguise.
“The absurd hairdo isn’t absurd at all,” King said. “It hides the tentacles.”
The tweet can be seen in its entirety below.

King’s quip summoned a response from the parody account @cthulhu4america, which scolded King saying, “Trump could barely hope to be 1/63 as great as I am if he weren’t such a buffoon.”
The response was attached to a statement saying in part, “You will not find me giving pneumonia to small children or being an impulsive firestarter. Those are the lesser evils to which I should never be compared. It is the end of watch for mankind and it is our aim to bury them in the dead zone.”
The statement can be seen in its entirety below:

Mississippi fast food cashier ‘terminated immediately’ for ugly racist slur on customer’s receipt
The owner of a fast food restaurant in Mississippi "terminated immediately" an employee after a racist and misogynistic slur of patrons.
When Lex Washington visited Who Dat's Drive-Thru in Oxford with her roommate, the cashier listed them on the receipt as "black b*tches in a silver car."
A manager reportedly refused to apologize at the time, and instead "laughed in her face."
A photo of the receipt then spread on social media.
