There is (essentially) a UK version of College Jeopardy called "University Challenge." The problem is that Gail Trimble of the Corpus Cristi team (not from Texas) is far and away the smartest girl on earth. Well it doesn't pay to be a smart woman in the UK. Here's a short list of how people describe her:
"a hateful know-it-all"
"annoying bitch"
"horse-toothed snob"
"so brain-rupturingly irritating and smug" (that they hoped science would come up with) "a screen that you can reach through and punch those inside"
If you are still have any questions as to why/how the housing crisis killed the global economy, take 11 minutes and watch this video. It is simple, easy to follow and right on the money.
Lots of British parents are blogging that host Cerrie Burnell, who was born without an arm, is not suitable for kids programming. Some fear that she will give kids nightmares, kill Richard Kimble's wife...
A Saudi Arabian Islamic scholar has stated that the use of biofuels in your car is a sin. It has nothing to do with the fact that Saudi Arabia's economy would collapse if the whole world drove on waste vegetable oil. Nothing.
The Octo-mom, who is an unemployed, single mother with 14 kids from invitro-fertilization and is on public assistance claims she hasn't had sex in 8 years. When asked why she replied with:
“Boyfriends? I think I’d have to be extremely selfish."
What with the economy devolving into a form of Fascism (look it up - it doesn't ONLY mean a Jew killing war machine), the internet could very well look like this.
The Army has finally figured out that most hard-working immigrants love America more than Americans. In a limited trial, the US Army will offer fast-track paths to citizenship for immigrants with professional skills who join the Mobile Infantry. Would you like to know more?
So here's the background. Following up on a tip of 3 white prostitutes in the area, Galveston police saw 12-year-old Dymond Milburn, who is black, in her front yard. Clearly matching the description of a "white prostitute," the cops attempted to arrest her. She then proceeded to dangerously grab a tree, scream for her father, and assaulted narcotics officer, David Roark, (and his flashlight apparently) with her face, eyes, throat and ear drums. Fortunately for them, her face, eyes, throat and ear drums took the majority of the damage and she was hospitalized.
She is now charged with assaulting a police officer. That's some fine police brutality, Lou. Bad Cops just barely beat Shady Law out on this one (the prosecutor's office is clearly in bed with the crooked police department).

Bride standing in front of groom. Groom putting left forearm around bride's neck very tightly because she is his hostage. Groom waving machete and vowing that neither bride nor groom will be taken alive. Groom doesn't care anymore after his deli closed down and he owes the bank big money.
Police responded to a domestic violence call and attempted to arrest Jose and Jason Batista. They proceeded to attack the arresting officer and beat him with his own flashlight. After they were finally arrested, they must have fallen down a lot before they appeared at the court to face charges. Their family is claiming police brutality but if you are dumb enough to attack an officer with his flashlight, there is no such thing as police brutality.
