Maybe they should have done one with just Borat

There’s plenty of hilarious Borat spread out through the whole vid, so put up with it to the end.

This is how they roll in India

Amazing and hilarious! If you listen the Indian guys filming have kindly given us english commentary. :)

New MTVMusic Website

MTV has a music video website, which is very nicely organised, and a lot easier than trawling through youtube for music vid clips.

Bush Condoms: For schmucks that won't pull out

Interesting court case against God

Here's the background: Atheist Senator Ernie Chambers files a lawsuit against God, and the judge dismisses the court case "with prejudice" because God doesn't have a residential address and can't be served.

This is where it gets interesting: Sen. Chambers has the right to appeal, on the grounds that since the court acknowledges the existence of God, and recognises His omniscience, then they must accept that He has been duly served. Otherwise they must admit He is either not omniscient, or doesn't exist, or in my opinion they have to finally separate church and state and throw the case out. Sen Chambers hasn't decided if he's going to appeal or not, but I really hope he does, because it would be fascinating to see what happens.

Africa: Albinos flee sorcerers and organ traders

These are albino people, not animals.

"People say that the body parts taken from albinos are sold in Tanzania. They put them on gold mines and that brings the gold to the surface, then you just need to collect it," said Ciza, fear evident in his pale blue eyes.

"Some fishermen also use the parts to bait large fish they think have gold in their bellies."

Jamie Foxx punishes an unfunny comedian on stage

This is brutal, but the comedian is so bad and such a dickhead at the start that what Foxx does to him is pure gold.

"The only takeaway food she eats is sushi. We're not takeaway people," she said.

"She eats very healthily; Weetbix and fruit for breakfast, a salad roll for lunch and a normal dinner. She probably eats less than my eldest daughter, who's a size 8."

Bullshit.

German Double Arm Transplant

It will be interesting to follow this story and see if the guy gets decent use from his transplanted arms.

Where are they now: Kirk Cameron

Kirk Cameron stars as a firefighter in a christian movie Fireproof where he’s a guy in a troubled marriage that is saved (presumably otherwise it’d be a pretty crappy christian movie) in the name of Jesus. Skip to about 1:20 in the vid to hear about how people on the set were constantly praying and shoving prayer cards into his costume in his locker as they were making the movie.

Angry pig holds woman hostage

Angry pig holds woman hostage - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Haemish and Andy also did an interview with the lady, quite funny. You can hear it on their “Best of 23rd September” podcast.

Here’s a photo. If that’s the lady’s “house”, I think a frisky pig is the least of her problems……

New state Police Minister Matt Brown sacked after gettin jiggy wid it

Witnesses to the incident, and revellers at a neighbouring party in the office of Ports Minister Joe Tripodi, said Mr Brown appeared to be drunk as he danced semi-naked on a couch in the office, The Australian newspaper reports today.

Witnesses on a balcony adjoining the two offices claimed they saw Mr Brown gyrating atop the green chesterfield sofa in what were described as "very brief" underpants to "Oxford street techno-style music."

Mr Brown was then reported to have climbed ontop of Ms Wollongong MP Noreen Hay, who is in her late 50s and is a married mother of four and grandmother of five,  before turning to her adult daughter and calling out "Look at this, I'm titty f..... your mother."

All class. How good is the picture in the article though? I also love how they’ve got the little text on the side “DIGITALLY ALTERED IMAGE” just in case you can’t tell.

Greek “spiritual healers” abuse woman over 230 times and get paid for it

For those who don’t want to read the article, a couple of guys in the Greek community in Sydney convinced a young woman she was cursed and her family was in big trouble, and the only way of lifting the curse was to undergo rituals that mainly involved sexual acts with her. They charged between $500 and $1000 a session, of which there were at least 70 over a 3 year period. Quite a few people I’ve spoken to about this find it hard to understand how this woman could have been tricked into this to this level. Once, strange but OK. Twice, getting weirder. But 70 times over 3 years sounds a little unbelievable. Note that she was not part of a cult or anything, she lived a “normal” life otherwise.

Large Hadron Collider "Actually Worked

They  haven't smashed anything yet, but they've got a proton beam going the whole way around. I find it annoying that these guys can get a proton beam to travel around a 27,000km circle on their first go and I had to google how to pass a command line parameter into a perl script. Particle physicists make me feel really really dumb.

Death sentence for downloading an article (G)

BBC reporting on a journalism student in Afghanistan that was tortured and sentenced to death for downloading an article from the internet on the role of women in islam. I can't find anything that further corroborates this story though, and there are scant details on the actual offense he was convicted of other than it was "blasphemy".

Why I love America but am glad I don't live there

So I'm standing in line at Fry's Electronics assistance desk, and there's this old guy with white hair in a hawaiian shirt in front of me, and he's asking the assistant to chase up some RAM. While the assistant is looking through the computer, catalogs etc, the old guy starts chatting to the assistant and me.

"That's the problem with computers, you can't have just one. Computers are like guns, you can't have just one." says the old man in an easy midwest drawl.

The sales assistant and I smile. The old man continues.

"I used to have 67 guns." The sales assistant and I look at each other, then at the old man. "I see the look on your faces I used to collect them, you see, and people would always give me that look when I told them. I'd tell 'em I've been collecting guns since I was  twelve, so it's really not that many, how many am I supposed to have?"

Slightly relieved, the sales assistant and I give a little laugh, and the old man gets a sad look on his face. "I don't have them any more, too old and slow, someone's liable to shoot me with one of 'em. Course the other way guns are like computers is you can't just have the gun or the computer, you've got to have all the bits and pieces to go with 'em. I had 70,000 rounds of ammunition, coz of course every gun you buy has to have a thousand rounds of ammunition to go with it. Oh, except my Ak-47, I had like 5000 rounds of ammunition for that. Remember in the 1980's when you could buy armor piercing rounds, and incendiary rounds and all that?"

I was four in 1980, and I bet the sales assistant was younger than that, but we both smiled and nodded.

"Well I had all of those, as soon as a new round came out I would go buy a thousand of 'em. I have a buddy that used to be a Navy Seal. He helped me setup this rig in the ceiling so when I was in bed if I pulled a cable a bunch of fishing hooks on nylon string would drop down from the ceiling. So then if someone's coming at me they'd get all tangled up. Give me time to get 'em with my shotgun. My wife said to me 'What, you gonna get in a gun fight with somebody?' and I said 'I hope not, but I'm gonna defend myself if I have to!'"

And then in a rehearsed manner that you know has been told in a thousand bars since he was a very young man, "I have a distant relative called John Wesley Hardin, killed 44 people, killed one of them for snoring. There's got to be some of his blood pumping through these veins. They say he killed one man for wearing too loud a shirt. Can you imagine that? I would have been killed by him on many a night back in my disco days!"

Then with a quick salute he walks off, leaving me with an image of an old man in a disco shirt firing a shotgun at a guy that's tangled up in fish hooks and nylon string with an old lady screaming at him from the bed......
