  • Political correctness is lost in this town

    In this day and age of political correctness, the somewhat cheeky logo of  The Dogs Bollocks Emporium was approved by the local council recently, with no objections from the locals. Given that the sign will be in the towns main street, the unanimous vote in favor that came complete...
  • 17 Gigapixel photo

    This 17 gigapixel photo shows what can be accomplished with a long lens, a big hard disk and lots of stitching. Granted, it is about a quarter of the size of the 360-degree London panorama, but it is an impressive effort nonetheless....
  • Do you want fries with that?

    In what can only be described as a crazy stunt by the local radio station, a McDonalds restaurant in Australia is following in the footsteps of the Hong Kong chain and offering to host that ‘special day’ – a wedding…. of sorts.  Edith, 61 and Denis Schultz, 63, will renew their 1966...
  • More plastic surgery despite a string of botched operations

    1980’s singer, 51-year-old homosexual Liverpudlian Pete Burnes, revealed recently that he’s had yet another face lift, despite previous procedures maiming him to an extent he thought his face would ‘fall off’ and he’d have to have his lips amputated.

  • When good acting can be deadly

    An action movie being filmed in central Philippines was a bit too realistic it seems, with a Filipino actor being shot dead for his efforts. Kirk Abella was playing a masked gunman in the film, before being shot dead by a village watchman who allegedly mistook him for a real...
  • Audi or Audacious?

    Advertising executives with big visions, and presumably bigger budgets, have come up with a novel idea to advertise the popular Audi motor vehicles. The gurus from Access Agency are pitching the idea to the Audi marketing department with the view of re inventing the concept of an advertising billboard. They...
  • Halloween: Trick or Treat?

    Well, its nearly Halloween, and I often wonder if we really understand what the effect it has on the young.
