This ice cream tastes like....


A family complaining that the music was too loud to hear a televised sports game was allegedly served a new flavor ice cream tainted with feces. 

The family was dining at the Cogee Bay Hotel, just a short distance from Sydney when they asked for the music to be turned down.  The family argues that the chef and management served them ice cream laced with feces when they asked for the music to be turned down. 

"The stench went through my nostrils, I retched and spat it into the napkin," Jessica Whyte told the Daily Telegraph newspaper when referencing the ice cream. Both the chef and management have volunteered for DNA tests to prove their innocence.

State government food official Ian Macdonald confirmed on Wednesday that there was in fact fecal matter in the dessert. 

The Whyte family also stated that they were offered approximately 3,240 American Dollars in cover up money, where the hotel claims the family is searching for 1 million Australian Dollars.

Tests are being done to determine if the fecal matter in the gelato was of animal or human origin.

Deep Throat director dies while his film stands the test of time



It was reported yesterday, Gerard Rocco Damiano, director of the infamous porno flick Deep Throat, died Saturday at 80 years old at a Fort Myers hospital after enduring a previous stroke in September.

"He was a filmmaker and an artist and we thought of him as such," his son Damiano Jr. said. "Even though we weren't allowed to see his movies, we knew he was a moviemaker, and we were proud of that."

Although Damiano was known for making films for the adult entertainment industry, there was something that set him apart from the others in his field, clearly reflected in the content of his work. He took his work very seriously and actually spent time with perfecting his movies, which earned him his honorable reputation. Another admirable trait he exuded was treating all of his actors with the utmost respect, unlike some pornographers of today who dish out mediocre work, while their only mindset is to produce an ongoing steady profit.

Upon being asked his impression of himself in a 2005 interview, Damiano responded "[I'm] just a nice guy, which is why I think I did pretty well. I mean, I'd meet an actress and have to say, 'Sit down, take your clothes off — I'm going to ask you to do some nasty things.' You have to be pretty nice."

When Deep Throat was released in 1972 critics were buzzing over the film, as it was the topic of every news outlet in America. As people continually heard of the popular "hour-long raunch fest that was part slapstick comedy, part carnal carnival," people instantly became intrigued to view the movie, especially because porn was such a new craze and was also in the process of becoming more readily accepted in general. Although some criticized the movie's indecency, in reality, Damiano was one of the most truly exceptional and noteworthy filmmakers in the industry. Ultimately he had alternative motives when it came to producing hardcore movies. He wasn't merely in the business for the sake of exploiting actors and selling sex, he created these films with the intention of pleasing his audience.

After his success, the remainder of Damiano's career was spent trying to create a movie that would one day outshine the movie that had given him a household name and put him in the spotlight. Even though the majority of these films displayed his expertise and talent, none of them could quite live up to the same shockingly good standards that Deep Throat brought to the table. Granted the popularity of the phrase also became commonly known as the nickname used for the source of the Watergate Scandal adopted by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, leading to the demise of Richard Nixon's presidency. Putting the functions for the name aside, the movie still came first and holds its own special spot in movie making history thanks to Damiano's keen intellect and artistic eye for detail. He'll forever be known for unleashing porn that had significantly amusing plot points rather than just ostensibly releasing smut, which is what he could have done and probably still could have gotten away with it.

Boy Breaks In and Kills Animals at The Zoo

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.

The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.

The boy also fed several live animals to Terry by throwing them over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.

In the footage, the boy's face remains largely blank, Neindorf said, adding: "It was like he was playing a game."

By the time he was done, 13 animals worth around $5,500 had been killed, including a turtle, bearded dragons and thorny devil lizards, Neindorf said. Although none were considered rare, some are difficult to replace, he said.

"We're horrified that anyone can do this and saddened by the age of the child," Neindorf said. Watch the boy in action »
Alice Springs police said they are unable to press charges against the boy because of his age. Children under age 10 can't be charged with criminal offenses in the Northern Territory. His name was not released because of his age.
Neindorf said he plans to sue the boy's parents.
The boy's small size is probably the reason he didn't trip the zoo's security system, which relies on sensors to detect intruders, Neindorf said.
"I just want people to learn that they can't let their children go and run amok," Neindorf said. "If we can't put the blame onto the child, then someone has to accept the responsibility."


I often ask the debatable question of how old somone should be to be held accountable for thier actions. I understand that many children may not have control over thier actions, I mean when I was young I engaged in youthful activity that my parents would not approve of, but does that make them fully accountable? If this kid was out at all wee hours of the night, and the parents are neglecting to check up on thier child to see where he or she is then after evaluation the parents could be held accountbale. However, say this kid has a well structured family setting and he happened to break out and commit these crimes, its unfortunate but as Neindorf said, somone has to accept the responsibility

How many people does it take to fix a toilet?

In Bangladesh it took 122 people to fix the toilet. Or so their books say.  A new corporation searching out corruption found that the one agency paid 122 people to fix a single toilet.  This has been happening for the last 7 years as funds have been misappropriated.  Also at the same time over 100 people have been paid for electrical work that they later found was never carried out. 

Getting paid to do nothing? Sounds like a dream job to me. Or getting paid to fix something that has already been fixed by one of the other 121 people ahead of you?  Even better! However, it does make me question: How could they not get found out? Does it really take that many people? What could possibly be their argument for this? That it was a really big toilet? It does not make sense that any government agency would think this is effective. 

Kind of makes me wish I was Joe the Plumber.

Pick 'er Up and Lug 'er to the Finish Line




A pair of New Hampshire contenders entered the ninth annual North American Wife-Carrying Championship that took place in Newry, Maine this past Saturday.

Friends, not necessarily companions of any sort, Ri Fahnestock and Sarah Silverberg, both from Dover, N.H., were awarded the grand prize of five cases of beer, equaling Silverberg's weight. In addition they were given $610 and also were entered into the World Wife-Carrying Championship which will be held in Finland sometime next year.

The obstacle course for this challenge in full length is 278 yards, complete with a 39-inch wooden hurdle and a pool of waist-deep water to throw off their contestants.

Here's a video showing prior wife-carrying contest that have taken place in Finland and how they train beforehand to beat their competition at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIB9UcA5iQU.

Other bizarre events practiced regularly in Finland:
* Mosquito swatting (Lapland is prime country)
* Milking stool throwing (farms up and down Finland)
* Table drumming (bars and restaurants)
* Sitting on an ant’s nest (in any forest you choose)
* Team berry picking (Suomussalmi, eastern Finland)
* Kick-sledding competition (Ylläs, Lapland)

Personally I think these Finlanders have too much time on their hands. Where did they come up with these ridiculous contests? Plus how do they find the time to prime themselves to prepare for these weird physical activities? I guess these games, as much as they seem silly, also appear intriguing and different from our culture with their exotic and foreign demeanor. Although at the same time, when you think about it, any redneck would be capable of inventing games as complex as these.

Man Charged With Battery for "Farting at a Police Officer"

A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.

Jose A. Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, was pulled over early Tuesday for driving without headlights, police said. According to the criminal complaint, Cruz smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and failed three field sobriety tests before he was handcuffed and taken to a police station for a breathalyzer test.

As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and “passed gas loudly,” the complaint said. Cruz, according to complaint, then fanned the gas toward the officer.

“The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons,” the complaint alleged. He was also charged with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.

Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn’t move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station. “I couldn’t hold it no more,” he said.

He also denied being drunk and uncooperative as the police complaint alleged. He added he was upset at being prepared for a breathalyzer test while having an asthma attack. The police statement said he later resisted being secured for a trip to a hospital that he requested for asthma treatment.

Cruz said the officers thought the gas incident was funny when it happened and laughed about it with him. Now that story is a real gas!!!

Now in my opinion, the man who was arrested has alot more trouble on his hands than the battery charge. Two counts of obstruction and DWI are gonna cost him quite the bundle of paper. With the extent of charges the man is facing, I can almost guarentee that this outrageous charge is going to be thrown out and the story may cause the departement who arrested this man and published the charges in the police blotter, to become a temporary laughing stock.

McBiden Takes the Stage After a McWhopper



Prior to Joe Biden's entrance at one of his rally's last week, Jim Piccilo fumbled over his words when he introduced "the next vice president of the United States..." as "John McCain!"

Unaware of what he said directly after saying it, Piccolo later heard on Tampa Bay's Travis and Jenny radio show about his blunder of oblivion. At first he immediately thought the radio hosts were making up the whole spectacle. Although when he spoke with the announcers later and heard from other reliable sources like ABC News, not to mention saw his video displayed all over the internet, he realized he was mistaken. It's safe to say late night talk show hosts like Jay Leno had their joke material for the night.

Piccolo, CEO of Nouveau Riche University and typically a supporter of the Republican party is rooting for the democratic ticket for this election. Even though he seems to be in favor of Joe Biden and his cause for becoming the next VP, there's still some skepticism. Could his clumsy introduction have been a Freudian slip? Was he trying to purposely insert a certain candidate's name in at a democratic function to advertise him among the opposing team? Personally I don't think so, I think it was an honest mistake on his part. Everyone mixes up names and words from time to time, but I guess since he's done it once, political candidates may think twice next time on hiring him as their promoters before events.

Wang Drains Wang in Public


Wang Hao, 24-year-old Chinese Olympic silver medalist in table tennis singles, has been ordered to receive counseling after coming to blows with a security guard.

Just prior to Thursday's brawl, Wang emerged drunk from a karaoke club and proceeded to drop trou and empty his bladder on the side of the building.

He was then approached by a club security guard who yelled at him to stop.

According to witness interviews, Wang responded, "I am the famous Wang Hao! I am the world champion! Does it matter if I beat you?"

Wang then proceeded to beat him.

Team manager, Huang Biao attempted to play down the story.

"There was no drunkenness or brawling. There was just an argument," Huang said in yesterday's Shanghai Morning Post.

When interviewed by state television, Wang said that the fight may have contributed to a loss in a normal season game over the weekend.

Wang said, "It taught me that I have to be very careful about anything I say or do."

For the full story hop on over to Reuters.

Are You Man Enough for a Poo Facial?


Beauticians worldwide have recently been discovering that some of the grossest excrement from animals has proved to be extremely revitalizing, kicking the normal hygiene routine up a notch.

Apparently guanine, a nutritious enzyme that lightens and keeps your skin looking young and healthy, can be found in nightingale feces and has become the current craze for facial masks. Fortunately, there are other ingredients in the mask, such as green tea, shea butter, and gold leaf, making it a bit more tolerable to put on your face. The original procedure stems from Japan where the bird poop was used to remove the caked on white make-up applied to geishas. These facials are currently being offered at Hari's Salon in London and other New York salons, one where Victoria Beckham regularly has been scheduling appointments.



Another scientific beauty breakthrough practiced by Hari's Salon in London is a moisture treatment for your hair, which includes Angus bull sperm as one of the main ingredients. Even though it sounds absolutely atrocious, it's said to be high in protein and gives your hair a long lasting shiny glow.

"I'd tried working with avocado oil and caviar," said salon owner Hari, "but the sperm definitely has the best nourishing qualities."

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

Personally I'm not sure I would be tempted to try out these new beauty treatments 1)I'm not old and I don't have to tighten my drooping face full of wrinkles and 2)I'm pretty sure I might puke my lunch back up if I knew I had semen or poop from any living organism any where near the vicinity of my hair or face.

If you're curious to find out more about other heinous concoctions used for beautifying purposes, they can be found at MailOnline.

Bangkok governor candidate beats journalist


Bangkok governor candidate number 8, Chuwit Kamolvisit, physically assaulted a journalist because he asked the wrong questions.

Chuwit, formerly the owner of a chain of strip clubs and bars, just recently decided to enter politics. When the journalist, Visarn Dilokwanit, asked him about the tactics Chuwit used against a political rival, Chuwit became enraged. Camera rolling, Chuwit angrly reminded the rebellious journalist about an agreement they made earlier, before filming began. The agreement was that the question would not be asked. When the host suggested there were two different Chuwits, one off camera and the other on camera, Chuwit answered that there was ,with an extremely angry tone. The host ended the program as Chuwit assaulted the journalist, by punching and trampling him.

"I admit I did it. I couldn't stand it when he humiliated me on air,"claims Chuwit. "What I did was a petty crime and I am happy to pay the fine for elbowing him and kicking him."

The journalist traveled to the police station to report it. The gubernatorial race favorite, Chuwit's punishment was 500 bhat or about $14.73

Despite this Chuwit remains a citizen favorite.
