A little place for those silly news stories of humanity at it's less than finest.

Blimey, so much for low fat, low cholesterol.

It's a misleading story, clearly the girl on the right couldn't fit in a conventional bath tub and instead had to go for the industrial size/strength sinks. It was either that or she stand in line at the car wash.

I had friends who worked at kfc in high school. I've seen much worse go down on after hours (hence not eating at one since 1995)...

This one is a couple months old but deserves inclusion here.

Stainless-steel netting costing up to $50 million will be placed beneath the Golden Gate Bridge to catch would-be suicide jumpers, San Francisco officials decided Friday.

Kudos to the kid and the only reason I stuck it here was the title and the movies it came form. The resemblance this kid has to a young Forrest Gump is creepy, including how he walks (view the video on the right - the one underneath the story might not work). Plus he protects a young girl, just like the movie (minus the brazilian jiu-jitsu).

This one's stupid, but also sad:

Two Australian brothers were crushed by falling ice on Fox Glacier yesterday

The men, in their early 20s, were crushed by ice after crossing safety barriers at the terminal face at around 4.20pm.

"Heredia didn't run away but instead he jumped on the pit bull and applied a choke hold that he learned at a local Brazilian jiu-jitsu studio."

Did the dog tap out?

Was that one of Vick's dogs?

I noticed the female anchor said it could happen with any breed of dog, I wonder if she could actually be a forum member here. lol

Kudos to the Panda in the zoo in China who has claimed another victim. Here is an idea: when looking at Pandas in a zoo, don't fall into the pen or the cute little guy might chew your leg off.

PETA should have been mentioned earlier in this thread. They are the craziest of them all
(thanks to crazies like Ingrid Newkirk and Bill Maher)

A panda could never do that...they are just so cuddly and harmless, right?

Since it is Alec Baldwin, I figure this would be the proper place versus a new thread.

The jokes, they write themselves.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... oodle.html

Former French president Jacques Chirac was rushed to hospital after being mauled by his own 'clinically depressed' pet dog.

The 76-year-old statesman was savaged by his white Maltese dog - which suffers from frenzied fits and is being treated with anti-depressants.

The animal, named Sumo, had become increasingly violent over the past years and was prone to making 'vicious, unprovoked attacks', Chirac's wife Bernadette said.

The former president, who ruled France for 12 years until 2007, was taken to hospital in Paris where he was treated as an outpatient and sent home, VSD magazine reported.

Mrs Chirac said: 'The dog went for him for no apparent reason.

'We were already aware the animal was unpredictable and is actually being treated with pills for depression.

'My husband was bitten quite badly, but he is certain to make a full recovery over the coming weeks.'

The former French First Lady did not reveal where on his body Chirac was bitten.

The pet, named after the Japanese form of wrestling, was a gift to the Chiracs from their grandson Martin.

Recent polls have shown that since leaving office Chirac is now regarded as one of the most popular politicians in France, liked by 70 per cent of people.

In the last days of his presidency, he was much less popular, liked by just 50 per cent of the population.

The ad can be viewed at the link above.

--------------------

Apparently, NBC has something against girls who love their veggies. After we submitted our proposed Super Bowl ad, which features a comely crop of models demonstrating their fondness for fresh produce, NBC nixed the ad, saying it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards." No joke, this is straight from NBC—so stop fondling your fruit salad right now and read the list of shots NBC requested we cut before they’d reconsider:

* licking pumpkin

* touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli

* pumpkin from behind between legs

* rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin

* screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)

* asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina

* licking eggplant

* rubbing asparagus on breast

No doubt those of you who watch The Soup caught this gem last week, but I thought this would be worth a post here:

Bring it up and you see a deer. Go forward down the street two clicks. Then click left arrow twice. Notice the map tour ends just shortly down the road.

Apparently Google is deleting it, trying to hide the evidence and impending PETA lawsuit.

Fortunately someone saved the images.
