Funny/Strange News Stories

ITV
With Gaddafi's heavy machine guns it was possible to shoot down a helicopter, as the terrorists' own footage of 1988 shows.



This was what the security forces feared most… It may have been a lucky hit, but for the Army and crew, once was enough. No one died in this attack..."


Not funny at all, Famine. Pretty serious in fact.

Might be marginally funnier if it were not a clip of the Provisional IRA shooting down a British Army helicopter at all. If it were, in fact, footage of the game ArmA 2 that someone at ITV had pulled from the above Youtube video and not bothered checking the authenticity of. Or used their eyes in any way.

"No one died in this attack", eh? Wonder if the fact it's a two year old computer game had anything to do with it...

Has ITV responded to this mistake yet?
 
I thought this was funny.

Chick gets forced to do horrible things, like take cover with that *****.
 
Whats really funny is PETA kills more animals than anyone on the planet. All those animals they "rescue" no body adopts and they are forced to put them down. At least before some of these animals were champion dog fighting pit bulls and stuff. Who's really gonna want to adopt a crazy dog?

Westboro Baptist Church 👎
Her mode of placing her tweet is a winner!

I hate this church. There so stupid. There a million times stupider than any other church on the planet. You have views and so do other people. Leave them alone. I remember when I heard they were protesting the soldiers funerals and could not believe it. The people died let them rest and there families have nothing to do with it why would show up at all.

Do you know what fighting dogs actually go through to become a "champion"? They're usully beaten, starved and repeatedly abused. Their owners essentially torture them to maximise their aggression and train them to kill. PETA may be crazy to try and end "whale slavery", but they are right in rescusing fighting dogs. A "champion" fighting dog is not something to be proud of.

Well let's say you were a champion boxer and they said no boxing but you did it anyway. Would you rather continue to be the best boxer even no it's filled with shifty people and situations or be killed.
 
PETA is attempting to sue SeaWorld for (wait for it) "whale slavery" by getting the animals constituional rights.

So, does that mean they get all constitutional rights?

What would they classify as a jury of their peers in a trial?

There is a difference.

Human Boxer- Is an adult, they have to give consent and should know their limits.

Fighting Dogs- Are, as said, beaten and tortured by their owners. They can't just walk away and when they are done winning they are killed. It's not like a boxing champion where they get a book deal when they retire.
 
Well I said if boxing was banned. So it has to be run by Professional football players in the underground world where it's the same thing. You can fight and win being the champion and having an ok life getting presents, running around on tons of land once in a while, and only fighting the best and most high class fights which you were bread to do may I add or you can have some just say nope your wrong and kill you. I would rather be a champion than have someone say I'm nothing and just kill me. This dog fighting topic I do get the controversy, but how about those ladies with all the cats. They run around and do whatever they want coming as they please. Than suddenly PETA says umm no you have too many cats and even tho the door is open so they can get there own food you are not feeding them properly so we will take them and kill them instead.

There's a difference bewteen boxing and dogfighting. Dogfighting is brutal and inhumane, and the dogs have no choice in the matter the way a boxer would. Many of the dogs that fight are forced to do so by their owners. You seem to think that a dog being a "champion fighter" is a glorious thing. It is not. It is anything but.
 
shmogt, do you really think if some boxer owned by another human, beat to crap on regular base, starved, ripped open every fight he does, doesn't want to try and end his life? Because he is a champion?
 
Ok me I would rather be a champion. It's bloody and violent, but so is mma and champion is champion to me. All of you clearly have choose death tho. Like I said that example can go either way tho. The cat one is better. Its basically like would you rather be homeless or someone says no homeless allowed and you die instead. No matter what the original point I was making is that it's funny the stuff PETA does with saving animals when they are the ones that are killing more animals than anyone.

Sorry, but I coudn't agree less with you. Dogfighting is an absolutely disgusting sport, and there is no glory in it at all. Anyone who thinks there is is a very disturbing individual.

Let's say you were a boxer, and boxing was the same as dog fighting. Your trainer would beat you, abuse you and torture you until your broke, and you would be forced to fight until such time as you killed your opponent. It would be absolutely brutal to say the least. Would you be happy to claim you were a champion then?

Like I said me personally yes. I would always choose the best. In that situation if you were a dog who was beaten and forced to fight why wouldn't u want to at least be the best at it. Again I wasn't promoting dog fighting it was just an example.


AMCNUT

Ahah i saw this on tv so much lately. He swore so what I don't get what the huge deal is. CBC ran up to him off guard on his driveway out of no where attacking him with questions for no reason. Why isn't everyone talking about that?
 
Well, there's been a steady stream of information regarding other casting roles - Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Judi Dench are in, whilst Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney are strongly linked to other roles. All of this has come from The Daily Mail, and it's been getting a lot of coverage; major news sources are willing to trust this. Strangely enough, there has been very little new on the lead female role. A few names have been mentioned, but none of them have held up for long, and there has even been a lack of would-be actors talking about having a role for the sake of some free publicity. People evidently saw the coverage The Daily Mail has been offering and wanted in (Bond is always a money-spinner for tabloids), so they spotted the gap (the Bond Girl), and decided to try and fill the void with their own "exclusive". The problem is that Megan Fox is such a poor choice and the story is so obviously fake (an executive who is as enthusiastic as they are anonymous is never a good sign), that they've become a bit of a laughing stock.
 
Okay, this is not so much funny as it is cool. And disgusting.

Zombie ants!

Deep in the Thai forests, scientists have discovered a parasitic fungus that literally takes control of an ant's mind, directs it to a certain spot on a tree, and then kills the ant. This particular spot is the ideal position for the fungus to grow and reproduce, enabling it to take control of more ants.
