Looks like Father's Day in a certain Mexican city is a very special holiday.

Huehuetán Mayor Manuel Ángel Villalobos decided he wanted a special Father’s Day for himself and the town’s men, in Mexico. The mayor decided to put on a lewd show with strips the mayor hired.

The mayor of Huehuetán, a town in the Mexican state of Chiapas, has come under harsh criticism for hiring strippers to entertain his male constituents during this year’s Father’s Day celebrations.

Boy oh boy, does Scotland have the job for you!

Scotland is asking for help finding its most famous mythical resident.

The country has ignited a new search for the Loch Ness Monster, a fabled creature from Scottish folklore that is alleged to live in the waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The search for the creature, also known as Nessie, is being spearheaded by the Loch Ness Center, the loch's official tourism center. Assistance will be provided by an independent research group called Loch Ness Exploration (LRE).

Described as the biggest search for the Loch Ness Monster in 50 years, researchers are "looking for budding monster hunters" to help scour the loch, the center said in a statement. The search intends to use modern technology that hasn't been implemented at the loch before, including "thermal drones to produce thermal images of the water from the air using infrared cameras," as well as a hydrophone "to detect acoustic signals under the water, listening for any Nessie-like calls."
