Default Freak toms & Stinkbug damage

1st pic...These all came off of one Mr. Stripey plant. Planted 24 plants, no tomatoes like these on 23 of them. Every tomato on this one plant is like this. Any one know why this is???

2nd pic...About 2 out every 3 of our Yellow Boys has this damage. They are planted next to some sweet corn which had some stink bugs on it.
Our other 2 gardens of tomatoes have no stinkbug damage.
I know you risk getting horn worm damage planting tomatoes next to corn or by planting where corn was the previous year.
Anyone else finding it the same with stinkbugs?

The stink bug damage that I get here looks more like a white milky discoration just below the surface of the skin with the skin remaining to look normal with no brown or black spots like what is in the picture, I am no expert maybe it is somthing besides stink bugs hopefully someone else can give a better answer. As for the firts picture those are some weird looking tomatoes.

I was thinking the same thing. Stinkbugs of several types are the scourge of local tomato gardeners, but the damage does not look like that. It is as described above.

As for the other tomatoes, are you sure someone did not bury radioactive material under that thing. That is just wildly weird.
