A working class man fighting the powers that be for something he didn't do! What's so boring about that?

Finally for today, a Tennessee man called Brian McCrary apparently bought his local police department's domain name, in response to having received a speeding ticket. Emma Woollacott from TGDaily points out:

"The web hosting company, Go Daddy, had warned the Police Department that the domain was about to expire some three months in advance and several times since. Once the date was reached, the company posted a message on the site warning visitors that it was about to close, and it was this that gave McCrary his idea."

She says that Mr McCrary is now using the site to provide information on the location of speed cameras and offer fellow citizens a chance to gripe about them.

This news story has been the subject of discussion with a lot of people I know at the moment.

A lot of folk are saying she should have known better but I can remember myself at 14 and I had little to no understanding of my own mortality, and I can imagine myself doing something similar without giving it a second thought at the time!! I used to climb up old fire escapes on the sides of factories, fire escapes which even had steps missing because they'd rusted through, I climbed much much higher than 100ft and could have fallen at any time.

What do you guys think?

As far as I'm aware the girl is currently stable but still critical. My cousin is in her year at the same school

This is the most popular story on the BBC website at the moment, which I find hilarious. It's a complete non-story.

Fox caught on camera after attack on twins in London

Basically, a man took a picture of a fox.

The James Corden/Patrick Stewart run-in was quite funny. As much as i dislike Corden he made Stewart look stupid.
