General News Discussion

There's a well established tradition of not worrying about the date on the news in this thread, so I'll keep that going.

This probably isn't worksafe though

The line that disturbs me the most is that the guy interviewed has "only come across this type of thing three or four times". Only?

I can only see half of it as ads are blocking the other half.

Maybe he heard all the publicity about grinder, and got the wrong end of the not-quite-wide-enough-copper stick?

I'm no great lover of oil companies, and I apologise in advance for what some will consider to be a question in poor taste.

Has the US Government accused BP of running a paedophile ring?

I ask because they're accusing them of absolutely everything else, terrorism included.

I do like the comments though

I was at a local basketball court in Philadelphia and some friends and I were playing a game. A couple of guys came down the street and they were listening to headphones. They were talking crazy and started fighting. Turns out, they were "dosing." My mom was so upset she sent me to live with my aunt and uncle here in California.

Police officer literally gets away with murder

[ampersand]

Hmm...I wonder why they didn't make public the results of the 3rd autopsy?

In the words of the great N.W.A..."f**k the police!"

Penis photo posters seized by police in Lewes

A person who put up enlarged photographs of male private parts around a town in Sussex is being sought by police.

Several large images of a man's penis with a yellow bow tied around it have been taken down from car parks and places close to schools in Lewes.

Sussex police have interviewed people at offices close to where the A3 and A4-sized images were found.

The posters have also been sent off for fingerprint analysis.

The force is also investigating whether it is some sort of protest, as a number of the images included a caption which read: "Fees set to rise later this year."

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "We are aware of these posters and a local PCSO [Police Community Support Officer] has removed a few, but we have not received any formal complaints.

"However, we are concerned that the posters have appeared quite close to local schools and they may well cause offence or distress.

"However, from what we've seen, if this is a self-portrait, the artist won't be in a hurry to be identified."
