A pair of rednecks are fighting a custody battle over an amputated leg. As you do. Who would want an amputated leg? A wooden one would be much better, aarrrr!
In Percy Julian Middle School, Illinois, group hugging has been outlawed so that ugly kids don't feel left out. Aw, bless!
In the UK, they only throw pensioners out on the street for heckling political party bigwigs.
As Walter Wolfgang, 82, said after his ordeal in 2005, "You cannot stifle debate by hiring heavies. A party has got to be open to the world."
But last week in South Carolina, a student was Tasered by four uniformed thugs for asking Merkan politician John Kerry a question at, er, a question-and-answer session.
Were the police being too heavy-handed? Watch this and decide for yourself.
Haha, my boyfriend sent me a link to the amputated leg story yesterday. We had a reet giggle over that one and came to the conclusion that we'd probably have stored our amputated legs in a freezer.
ReplyDeleteaww..
ReplyDeleteI'm from the american south..( NOT south carolina though ..whew..)
I'm so embarrassed
I want a tazer
ReplyDeleteI liked the fact that the original leg owner was outraged that the secondary owner was charging people to look at the leg, and then the empty barbecue where the leg had been.
ReplyDeleteAnd people were PAYING to see it!
Excellent. I might start charging people to look in empty boxes that once contained hideous freaky stuff.
As far as they know, anyway.
I am embarassed to say - the school thing is in my state. I am pleased to announce it is at least THIRTY MILES from my house.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the best one though, Farty. Only in Merka:
The president vetoes a bill to provide health-care to the poorest children in the country on the flimsy excuse that a middle-class child MIGHT be able to get free health care by accident...
*shakes head*
ReplyDeleteBum Bum Bum... Can't Touch This...

BOSSY - Um...eh?
you've gotta love all those people sitting calmly by while the poor bloke is dragged off.
ReplyDeleteGirlie - If you've seen the full-length video, you'll see that he was being a bit of a jerk. And that he was up against seven armed cops. I'd sit by too, but take lots of pics. Like they did.
