Carpooling with The Most Interesting Man in the World
A Washington man was caught violating the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane with a most interesting fake person on in his passenger seat.
A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled over the driver on March 23 on Intestate 5, near the City of Fife, after spotting a cardboard cut-out of actor Jonathan Goldsmith, famously known as "The Most Interesting Man in the World" from the Dos Equis beer commercials.
"He couldn't have used a more recognizable face," State Patrol Officer and Public Information Officer Guy Gill told ABC News. "The trooper and the driver had a good laugh about it but he was cited anyway... Our trooper gave him a $124 ticket for violating HOV lane laws," said Gill.
Posting the photo of the driver with his faux companion, Gill quipped, "I don't always violate the HOV lane law...but when I do, I get a $124 ticket!"
Gill said that in his 12 years of service with the state patrol, he's seen many bizarre attempts by HOV violators to fool officers into believing there's a second person in the vehicle.
"We've seen people use duffel bags, mannequin heads...but we've given this guy an A for creativity," said Gill.

What kind of child doesn't realise by 8 years old that men and ladies are different? That's more terrifying than the cartoon

Imaginary 8-year old, created to be "perfect" by the American TV society.

That isn't what they said. They will know the difference by then, but our lack of public nudity and its role in society would necessitate a conversation if a kid has a lot of questions after seeing that.What kind of child doesn't realise by 8 years old that men and ladies are different?

Of course, I suspect any questions were more the result of the parent's reaction than the kid seeing that. I imagine the kid just went, "Look, Daddy. It's a naked lady," and things collapsed after that.

Each nation has its own style of animation.
Some anime from the 90's showed heavy chain smoking and homosexuality.
When these anime's were dubbed for the English viewers they edited out the smoking and homosexuality.
Since Oggy and the Cockroaches is a french cartoon it may explain it since the french embrace the body rather than shield people from it.

Yes, because nothing is funnier than serious domestic violence over the most trivial matters.

Mifepristone is reversible in some cases, why is that a funny story? You worry me sometimes.
In slightly funnier news; Australian boobies are genitals and are illegal on Google Maps.

This is definitely more bizarre than funny despite having an obviously comedic element. It's not really breaking news either, just a BBC magazine piece.
The theme park where all the staff have dwarfism. Courtesy of China, land of the truly bizarre. The staff all, it seems, claim to be happy. One wonders though - is this a social experiment, a valid tourist attraction, an appalling zoo, or just what-the-****?

Jackie Lambie, the Original Bogan Senator, has decided to form her own political party, to be known as the Jackie Lambie Network, or JLN. To my mind, "JLN" sounds like the initials of a terrorist group, which is ironic because Lambie is a vehement critic of Islamic extremism, particularly sharia law. In fact, she's so opposed to it that she wants to amend the Constitution to say that Australia rejects it ... even though she has no idea what it is.
Japan called - they want their title back.

Alaska Airlines' unsuccessful test of new seating configuration:

I guess I'd get a little freaked out, too. I've heard a few noisy animals in the cargo hold, but nothing like that.
