Funny/Strange News Stories

Agreed, she's being a complete arse for publicity. I've never seen anyone ever refer to her as Lindsay, not even in rubbish gossip mags my mum buys.
 
Here's probably what a typical twitter tweet will look like after this through:
"OMG lohan was like soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 2004"
 
Not neccessarily a funny news story, but...

Vienna Boys’ Choir caught up in sex abuse scandals

The most famous choir in the world has been caught up in the wave of paedophile scandals sweeping Germany and Austria, with eight former choristers denouncing their teachers in the past few days.

An open letter from the management of the Vienna Boys’ Choir to parents expressed regret at the incidents, which were recounted by former singers now aged between 40 and 70.

Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, called yesterday for truth and clarity in investigating paedophile abuse not only in church institutions but everywhere within the educational system. “We all agree that sexual abuse against children is a despicable crime,” she told parliament.

... they could have got someone other than "Roger Boyes" to write the story...

What's Obama Doing to Your Taxes?

...
When President Obama outlined his 2011 budget proposal in February, he said government cannot "continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences... as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money."

"Freshly ground black people." I guess Hannibal Lecter's neo-Nazi cousin will be drooling over that prospect.
 
I'll probably go to hell for laughing at this but I came across this gem of an article about a lady suffering from Foreign Accent Syndrome.

Sarah Colwill initially found it amusing when a series of migraines caused her native West Country accent to be displaced by a Chinese lilt. But after a month, the joke is wearing thin for the 35-year-old IT project co-ordinator. "I have never been to China," she says. "It is very frustrating and I just want my own voice back."
 
Well, she works in the IT field, maybe it's not such a bad thing after all.

"Did the Earth move for you?"
There's been earthquakes way before man ever existed, but this guy is probably one of those Young Earth Creationist whackjobs.
So the solution is to buy women more clothes? Sounds like a fun day out!
Don't give the people who make Sex and the City an excuse for a 3rd movie. Donkey from Shrek Sarah Jessica Parker's face plastered around cinemas immediately puts me off my popcorn.
So, Tiger Woods is to blame for all the recent Earthquakes?
:lol: x 1,000,000
 
Real life Spiderman traps theif
IT sounds like a comic book plot - Spiderman foils a would-be thief as Star Wars Jedi Knights block the escape route and superhero The Flash looks on.
But this was the scene played out in a city shop on Saturday, when a business owner dressed as Spiderman stopped a man shoplifting an X-Men book worth $160

Driftking18594, FYI, there are an enthusiastic band of interdisciplinary geologists and other scientists who subscribe to something like a Young Earth hypothesis. They are secularists, of course. I have read only a little of their ideas, but they seem plausible, and definitely not whackjobs.

Well, in my opinion anyone who is going to basically put their fingers in their ears and yell "la-la-la, not listening" repeatedly to scientific proof seems like a whackjob to me. It's just my opinion.
 
Well not really funny at all, but one of my friends since 7-8 years back just killed his half-siblings and their father (not his father, they share the same mother) and then drove off 250km and tried to get on a freight ship to Germany. Police caught him earlier today and he confessed to it right away.

I guess you never can truly know someone.
 
She does lap dances,
On openly gay men.

and yet she's part of that "abstinence before marriage" bullcrap/cult?
It's a cult? Really?

Anyone think this is some sort of hypocrisy?
Unless there was an extra bit to that video that I didn't get to see, no. If there is then that guy clearly needs to quit claiming he is gay.
