Cut and paste your hearts out people

Burger van caught handing out porn

British police have shut down a fast food van after it was caught handing out free pornography to customers who spent more than five pounds ($8.50).

The burger van posted signs advertising "Free Porno!" DVDs in a bid to lure punters exiting nearby pubs and clubs in Driffield, north England, The Sun newspaper reported.

The proprietors of the van even played pornographic movies inside as they served customers beer, burgers and kebabs, police said.

But the booming operation was quickly shut down after concerned residents notified police.

"We received complaints that free porn DVDs were being offered to everyone who spent five pounds or more on beer and burgers," police spokesman Dave Jenkins said.

"We won't tolerate this because a youngster could have been given the DVDs."

The van was also found to be serving food and alcohol without a licence, police said.

Cops Ketch Up With Condiment Crime Suspect
2:17am Thursday June 17, 2010

A 74-year-old woman is being investigated in connection with a year-long spree of 'condiment' crimes in Idaho.

Joy L. Cassidy was picked up by Boise police, moments after she was spotted pouring a jar of mayonnaise into Ada County library's book return box.

Since May 2009, the library has been hit by a spate of similar attacks.

Employees have reported finding books in the drop box covered in corn syrup and ketchup, as well as mayonnaise.

Cassidy has been released from jail but faces a charge of malicious injury to property.

As yet, there is no indication as to why she may have committed at least 10 condiment-related crimes.

60ft Jesus statue burns to ground
15 Jun 2010

The "King of Kings" statue, one of Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.

The 62ft tall 40ft wide sculpture, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown in a game of football.

It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.

The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police Chief Mark Neu said.

The 4,000-member, nondenominational church was founded by former horse trader Lawrence Bishop and his wife. Mr Bishop said in 2004 he was trying to help people, not impress them, with the statue. He said his wife proposed the Jesus figure as a beacon of hope and salvation and they spent about $250,000 to finance it.

Boozing woman mistaken for Justin Bieber

Police showed up at a bar in Maryland, USA, after a concerned member of the public called 911 to report that 16-year-old pop star Justin Bieber was knocking back beers with his mates.
Obviously the Maryland police had never encountered a Biebian before, and the suspect was asked to produce ID to prove he wasn't the Beeb and he was over the legal drinking age.

The cops dropped the issue when the Bieber-lookalike turned out to be a 27-year-old woman called Katie!

Terrified tourist savaged in monkey madness
June 18, 2010 3:58PM

A HOLIDAYMAKER has been savaged by a pack of monkeys while on a tour to cure her phobia of the animal.

Dee Darwell, 56, from Cambridgeshire in southern England, was bitten and grabbed by several macaques on a tour to Monkey Island in the Andaman Sea, near Phuket.

She collapsed with blood “pumping out of a deep, deep hole” in her arm as the monkeys were pulled off her by Thai fisherman.

“The monkey took my wrist and pounced on my right arm, sinking his teeth in and hung off it,” Ms Darwell said.

“He wouldn’t let go; he was locked on. I was absolutely petrified. I was shaking from head to foot and I froze,” she said.

“There was one man, a tourist, and when he saw the monkey bite me, he screamed and ran off… Then another, bigger monkey bit my arm, just next to the other one biting me, and all of a sudden I was surrounded by monkeys.”

Tour leader Yongyut Buasod said he was unable to control the monkeys if they decide to bite someone.

“We always warn the tourists,” he said.

"That day some people were teasing the monkeys. They don’t necessarily attack the specific person teasing them.”

Ms Darwell said her fear of primates stemmed from childhood as her father owned a chimpanzee she described as “positively evil.”

She warned tourists to Thailand to stay away from the monkeys.

Dozens of human heads found on Southwest flight
Kyle Peterson and Deepa Seetharaman,
June 18, 2010, 4:46 am

CHICAGO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Officials in Arkansas are investigating a shipment of 40 to 60 human heads found by Southwest Airlines employees at a cargo facility last week in Little Rock, the Pulaski County coroner said on Thursday.

The shipment of three separate containers was discovered last Wednesday at the facility after employees saw the package was "not labelled properly," Southwest spokeswoman Ashley Rogers said.

Employees opened the box last Wednesday evening, found the heads and contacted local police, who turned the heads over to the local coroner.

"They were basically in plastic containers with lids that are not air sealed," Coroner Garland Camper said. "They were duct taped with minimal information to disclose what was inside."

The heads were being shipped to a Medtronic Inc facility in Fort Worth, Texas. They were for educational training for neurosurgeons studying ear, nose and throat procedures, said Medtronic spokesman Brian Henry.

Camper said there were between 40 and 60 heads packed in three containers. Henry said the company had ordered four heads and 40 skull parts, or the portion of the head with the ear.

"In this particular instance, they were going to be used for educational training, which is routinely and commonly done," Henry said.

It is not uncommon for heads used for research and educational training to be shipped commercially, he said. Medtronic, the world's largest independent medical device company, employed Arkansas-based JLS Consulting to supply and ship the head and head parts.

"It's a common practice," Henry said. "This is a very uncommon result."

Calls and an e-mail to JLS Consulting were not immediately returned.

The 24-hour Southwest cargo facility is one of 70 operated by the low-cost airline and typically handles shipments of items like flowers and sea food, Rogers said.

Camper, the Pulaski Country coroner, said his office took possession of the heads after being contacted by officials in Little Rock.

"Since then we have learned that the paperwork that we have asked for does not quite meet the same description of the specimens that we have," he said. "So we've got some discrepancies there."

Camper said he wanted to confirm that the heads were not being shipped as part of a black market for human body parts.

"We definitely want to make sure this is not a part of something like that," he said.
Camper said that he has never encountered a case like this in his career as a coroner.

Sex and the City on a Girls Night Out

Maybe it's six years of attending an all-girls school but something in me feels slightly queasy when invited to a "girls night out".


Nights out with female friends can be the elixir of life - particularly if they are unplanned.


The best of them can often occur after a bad break-up, or career crisis or a feeling of being in a rut.


One emerges (usually hungover) as if having stepped out of a warm bath of empathy. You are known, you are understood, things will be okay.


But organised "girls nights out" are a special kind of horror, someone else's idea of fun – usually a marketing department who think that in order to have fun women must drink pink drinks and talk about shoes and clothes and men. And then see a movie maybe – involving self-absorbed, repulsively materialistic women who the marketing department think that you (in your squalid, suburban, unglamorous, derivative lives) desperately wish to emulate.


Everyone from marketing departments in hotels to day spas to pubs and clubs exercise their (very tiny) imaginations wondering what it is that girls on these all-female nights out will enjoy.


These might include half-price facials at the hotel and a bottle of "bubbles" (to give it its girlie parlance) or a clothes swapping party or for the bride-to-be some risque dancing studs and penis straws.


They do not of course involve the company of men – except to leer at (in the form of masseurs, bar staff or the "studs") bitch about, or agonise over. That men (particularly straight men) may be invited to the table as equals is unthinkable. That doesn't happen on a girl's night out.


Men, in this world, are the "other" – they may as well be a separate species, from Mars – or is it Venus? After all the most popular show of the last decade, Sex And the City, featured men as sex objects, women as soul mates and gay men as confidantes.


Sadly for me, a recent event-managed "girls night out" involved a symphony of the most hackneyed cliches about contemporary women: hundreds of women jammed into a mediocre suburban pub each clutching a drink card that would enable them a sickly sweet pink cocktail (actually a pre-mix of – um, err something) that was meant to resemble the Cosmopolitans of more sophisticated drinking dens. Then raffles for (shiver) a year's supply of Tim Tams.

All this followed by a screening of SATC 2 – possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.


Jammed up at the bar clutching our pink drink tickets were women of all ages – all talking with anticipation about the movie. Some had come dressed as the characters. "I am Samantha", said my friend who had come straight from her job wearing a chic and simple Prada suit.


If there was a resemblance to Samantha it was so miniscule as to be indiscernible.


But throughout the room women invoked their shadow selves. "I am Carrie," said a woman wearing a massive heart pendant – but her homely, plumpish face looked nothing like SJP's gaunt and pained visage - and for that the Aussie doppelganger should be grateful.


For no one looked as miserable and wretched as SJP in the 146 minutes of SATC 2.


Just as the marketers of "girls nights out" suffer a paucity of imagination, so too did the makers of SATC 2.


A lot has been written about this movie, most of it bad – and there's no point rehashing bad reviews here – but the movie suffered from the same lack of imagination as the "girls nights out".


Characters were devoid of any kind of an interior life.


Or any kind of charitable aspect. Or any kind of daring or spark.


They got their kicks from expensive hotel rooms, shoes, a big diamond, man-servants, having two New York apartments, a full-time nanny (preferably one that was sexually non-threatening).


There was nothing brave or admirable or inspirational about the characters and when the movie finished the audience which had fired itself up only a few hours earlier on pink rocket fuel, clapped limply and went out into the wet night.


It's a shame that we have chosen our heroines so poorly. In this film they have let us down.

^^^

Funny - last week my wifey made two new aquaintenances; one thru eldest kiddy's school, the other thru work and they planned a get to know each other outing. Bizarrely they both seperately said "Hey let's go see SATC 2!".

No doubt they had drinking sticky sweet leg openers and gibber jabber talk of shoes in mind. "Er... I'll get back to you about that." said wifey.

Aquantences they shall remain.

Bless wifey for having a brain, that's why I married her. Oh, and her enormous... experiance of life.

If you can't be with the one you love - then shag her friends senseless.

Yep - good ones are hard to find for sure. If I'd been focusing only on blonde hair and huge knockers she would have sailed past.

Good ones are worth waiting for tho.

German fans want 'Octopus oracle' fried

It won't come as much of a consolation to heartbroken German fans, but at least Paul, Germany's now world-famous "Octopus oracle", has maintained his perfect record.

The "psychic" creature has correctly predicted all six of Germany's World Cup games and, amid excruciating drama broadcast live on national television on Tuesday, plumped for Spain, causing anguish up and down the country.

And the eight-legged soccer soothsayer was spot on Wednesday, as Carles Puyol's semi-final header shattered Germany's dreams of winning their fourth World Cup.

Two plastic boxes, one with a German flag and one with a Spanish, were lowered into Paul's tank at an aquarium in western Germany, each with a tasty morsel of food inside.

The box which Paul opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner.

But with classic fickleness, German fans turned against their beloved octopus after he forecast a Spanish win.

According to "Der Western" daily paper, there have been "a host of comments on Facebook, Twitter ... suggesting Paul should be fried, barbequed or turned into a seafood salad or paella."

"Others wanted to throw him into the shark tank," the paper reported.

And on Berlin's "fan-mile", some sections of the crowd also turned against their former hero. Anti-octopus songs were sung.
