A 22-year-old woman has been found guilty of biting a man's penis at a fast-food outlet in Falköping in March.
The incident occurred after the woman approached the man and asked him several times if he would like her to perform oral sex on him. The pair were not acquainted and the man declined the offer. He then kept trying to reason with her as he turned his body away from her advances.
But the woman would not take no for an answer. Catching the man off guard, she pulled his trousers down and sank her teeth into one side of his penis. She then scratched him in the face.
The woman admitted to Skaraborg District Court that she had been very much under the influence of alcohol and did not remember having set foot in the fast-food restaurant. The court found the 22-year-old guilty of assault and sexual harassment. She was given a suspended sentence, fined 80 days' wages and ordered to pay the man 11,600 kronor in damages.
The court said it found the man's story credible, partly because it was so unusual that the judges did not believe he had made it up. His version of events was also supported by a witness. Photographs and a doctor's note provided further evidence of the injuries he had sustained.

That last image should have a caption reading: "Hey, Mr. Toad! Gimme back my hand."
Seriously, though. As others have noted, if you are so hard up for a buzz that you're willing to lick a toad, either you're Monica Lewinsky or there's not much hope for any sort of substantial rehabilitation.
I wonder if she's curvy? Or if she's a civil servant? Well, at least, she can escape knives-to-the-head types of injuries 50% of the time.
Doctors treating a Chinese woman who complained of feeling weak discovered she only had half a brain. The woman, 39, from Wuhan city, has lived a perfectly normal life and only came into hospital after she complained of feeling weak and stiff.
Zhang Linhong, director of Neural Rehabilitation Department at the local hospital, said: "On the MRI scans we were surprised to see that she only has grey matter on the right side. "Our usual understanding is that the left brain controls language. But this patient has no problem communicating with people."
The woman's mother said her daughter lives a very normal life. "She graduated from high school with good marks. Her memory is very good. She remembers phone numbers and names immediately." "She doesn't drool much, and she can walk pretty well."

Reminds me of a Net article a few years ago, where surgeons removed a person's damaged heart tissue, reformed and made the heart smaller, but the person's heart not only worked it functioned better than before. If it could be done wid a human heart, why not a human brain???

During autopsies, doctors have been stunned to find people who led average lifes that had their skulls lined with about 1/4" of actual brain matter. The rest of the brain case was filled with fluid. While none of these subjects were super geniuses, neither were they retarded. It just goes to show the incredible amount of redundancy in our neural systems.
FRENCH "mathlete" Alexis Lemaire has showed off his rare mental agility, claiming a new world record after working out in his head the 13th root of a random 200-digit number in just 72.4 seconds. Mr Lemaire, a 27-year-old doctoral student in artificial intelligence from Reims, near Paris, sat at a laptop computer that randomly selected the figure and displayed it on the screen. The number was so long it ran over 17 lines.
Mr Lemaire, who doesn't consider himself a nerd or a geek, then took just over a minute to identify two quadrillion, 397 trillion, 207 billion, 667 million, 966 thousand, 701 as the 13th root. In other words, the number multiplied by itself 13 times produces the 200 digit number originally generated by the computer.
"The first digit is very easy, the last digit is very easy, but the inside numbers are extremely difficult,'' the mental gymnast said after the performance at New York's Hall of Science.

I tried doing it when I was younger, but then "Space Invaders", school sports, JROTC/SEA CADETS, McDonald's, and zits came along, besides also discovering girls were no longer weird- looking/dressing boys.
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Spokane police say two children were accidentally repossessed along with their father's SUV.
Because he was working quickly, the repo driver did not notice the 5- and 7-year-old children when he arrived at a grocery store parking lot Thursday morning to take the 1996 Ford Explorer, police Officer Jennifer DeRuwe said.
The father had left the children in the vehicle when he ran into the store for doughnuts. He called police when he saw the car and kids missing; the repo man also called police after arriving at the repo lot and discovering the passengers.
It's not illegal to leave children unattended in a car as long as it's not running, is not outside a bar, and the weather doesn't pose a danger, DeRuwe said.
Police said the children were returned unharmed to their father. "They were fine, saying 'Hey Dad,' when he came to get them," she said. And I'll bet Dad was saying "Where's my lawyer!"
A 23-year-old college student who was told by a Southwest Airlines employee that her outfit was too revealing to fly is wearing even less on Playboy's Web site. Now that's what I call a happy ending!
Kyla Ebbert appears in a series of pictures some in lingerie, some nude under the heading, "Legs in the Air." Classy enough for me! Given the title, the pictorial had better not let me down.
"They're very tastefully done," Ebbert told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I don't see anything wrong with the female body." Not yours, that's for sure!
Playboy contacted Ebbert's attorney to pitch the idea of posing. After "a little bit of talking" to convince her mother, Ebbert agreed. She said her boyfriend supported her decision, but "the most hesitant one was my dad." "It took him a couple of weeks to put the shotgun down. He finally did after I asked him if he had ever 'read' a Playboy." On its Web site, Playboy says Ebbert "was too sexy for Southwest Airlines, but she's perfect for Playboy." And Branson, too, apparently. Stud. That guy knows a chance to get his hands on a babe an advertising opportunity when he sees one.
Ebbert said she was paid "less than six figures" to pose, but wouldn't give the specific amount. OK, everyone hit Fred's tip-jar and maybe we can come up for a photo-shoot of our own. She'd look good on the RB Scimitar.
A prudishjealous Southwest Airlines Co. employee pulled Ebbert off a flight this summer and forced her to adjust her outfit of a tank top, sweater and miniskirt before getting back on the plane. It obviously wasn't a guy who did it or she'd have had to straighten up her hair, too.
Ebbert ripped the airline in appearances on NBC's "The Today Show" and "The stuttering Dr. Phil Show," during which she wore the outfit. Southwest officials said they don't have a dress code but don't want customers' attire to offend other passengers. Well, the fact that she is wearing any clothes at all and not sitting on my lap offends me . . . .
Ebbert said she was offended that Southwest tried to turn the dustup to its advantage by promoting a fare sale in honor of miniskirts. Southwest apologized to Ebbert, but she said she found the double-entendre-laced message unacceptable. Being that SW stewardesses are in the doghouse it would have been more appropriate if they had to wear dog collars. And leashes. And carry them around in their mouths.
"They used my name in an ad campaign without asking permission," she said. "I thought I'd been slapped in the face." Doing things without your permission and slapping you? Did they pull your hair, too?
Told of Ebbert's spread on the Playboy Web site, Southwest spokeswoman Beth Harbin said, "We wish her all the best." I'm sure you do. Besides if you said anything else you'd just be digging a deeper hole.
Ebbert worked at a Hooters in San Diego but said wants to become an attorney, and doesn't think posing nude should get in the way of her professional aspirations. I'd hire her. Especially if she likes to put her feet up on her glass desk.
"This was beautiful and classy. I don't see why it would affect a professional position," she said. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Now go over and entertain the troops a bit, would you?
Bob Hope would have had her on the Christmas tour in a New York minute.

Why do I get the feeling Gorb wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about defending from the prudes a middle aged man wearing a miniskirt without underwear and flashing his nads at everyone on the plane?
#2
I think this is a blatant case of discrimination, because a 23-years-old MALE college student loving to flash his genitals in a public space wouldn't be asked to be featured in playboy.
I'd sue!

Anybody know if this fine specimen of American chickiehood has any kids? That way, Fred would be perfectly justified - nay, morally obligated! - to display her picture on each and every future story involving the "Moro Islamic Liberation Front." :-)

The BBC has apologised for adding the sound of babies crying to its footage of quintuplets born to a Russian woman. The five girls, delivered at an Oxford hospital on November 10, are the latest individuals to be drawn into the broadcasting fakery row. The John Radcliffe Hospital distributed clips of the five babies and their parents, who defied doctors in Moscow who advised they abort some of the foetuses.
One of the quins, with a respirator, appeared to be crying in the BBC clip. While broadcasters like Sky and ITN ran clips of the footage without the audio, the BBC's footage contains the sound of children crying, even though the babies have respirators in their mouths.
Can't leave well enough alone ...
A spokeswoman for the Oxford hospital said: "There was no audio on our clip. The BBC must have put it over. I thought they weren't supposed to do things like that."
A BBC spokesman said the corporation should have left the footage alone. He said: "We received the film without sound and on reflection we should have kept it that way."
The sound of babies crying has now been removed from the story for its viewing on the Six O'Clock News.
The admission follows a series of broadcasting scandals over authenticity. ITV was criticised for wrongly claiming the final scene of a documentary showed an Alzheimer's patient dying. BBC1 Controller Peter Fincham resigned after a promotional tape for a documentary on the Royal Family implied the Queen stormed out of a photoshoot.
Director general Mark Thompson recently called on BBC staff to be as transparent as possible.
An advert depicting a tattooed skinhead urinating into a china teacup is being used to promote British tourism.
I can remember when the Brits were considered the epitome of class. In this country, whenever advertisers want to sound high class they hire a spokesman with a Brit accent -- anything better than Cockney will do. Now I've got the image of tattooed skinhead toffs peeing into expensive china teacups on the playing fields of Eton, and I remind myself again that it was the Duke of Wellington who invented the phrase "scum of the earth" when discussing his own yeoman troops.
The image is part of a new Eurostar campaign aimed solely at the Belgian market.
"Charles?"
"Yes, Percy?"
"Whom shall we target with this peeing skinhead ad campaign?"
"Let's try it on the Belgians. They're fascinated by such things."
"Really?"
Posters have gone up on billboards in Antwerp, Brussels, Liege and Ghent to promote the new high-speed train connection to London. The company says the advert is great for British tourism. "It's fun, it's supposed to show how cosmopolitan London is. Yes, I really think it says London is cosmopolitan," insisted a spokeswoman for Eurostar.
All the cosmopolitans I know pee in teacups. We've got an entire magazine in this country, y'know, named "Cosmopolitan." It's quite successful. It features articles on ladies' social and sex lives, like "What to Do with Whizz: 32 Things You Should Know About Teacups"
Lesley Retallack added: "You could walk down Camden market and you can see someone like that."
The implication being that we'd want to...
"It just captures your imagination, stops you, makes you think."
The implication being that normally you don't, that you spend your time mentally fogbound.
"People get it."
"Look, Margarite! It is un tattooed skinhead peeing into a teacup!"
"Oh, Alois! I get it! Let us have sex!"
"Please, Margarite! We are Belgian!"
The campaign, created by a Belgian ad agency, also features John Cleese and his Ministry of Silly Walks along with Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and John Major apparently bursting Union Flag balloons. Miss Retallack explained: "The whole idea is that London is just around the corner. Belgians absolutely love the British and follow them closely.
As the Brits are wont to do with the Belgiques. They're fascinating people, y'know, much moreso than the Luxembourgeois or the shifty-eyed Dutchmen, always poking their fingers into dikes and such.
"The adverts are meant to show how cutting edge London is, the amazing mix. It's all meant to be very humourous, very funny and to get across the message that London is just around the corner." She went on: "We wouldn't do something if it meant people were put off coming to London and they have been enormously effective."
"Wow! Lookit dat guy urinate! I am off to see London!"
Since the posters went up on November 14 only one member of the public has complained, said Ms Retallack.
"Oy! 'At's my doinker! See the tattoo on the 'ead of it? They din't pay me f'r that pic! I wants me money, I doo!"
Elliott Frisby of the British Tourist Authority, told Sky News: "Belgians think of themselves as closer to us than to France. They expect us to be quirky."
"The British are a quirky lot, aren't they, Alois?"
He said the adverts work well in Belgium and believes they are advertising Eurostar rather than Britain itself. "We do not think the images are derogatory or give off the wrong message about the destination," he said. "It is not what we would do but Eurostar is a commercial organisation."

Only if there was a reference making it ken's tea cup would this make any sense - otherwise it is a blatent hack job advertising campaign to destroy the national image of the Brits. Is this the first salvo for the Olympic games? That is, whats the big deal about a giant mosque in every background shot if London isn't perceived as British anymore?
"...Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and John Major apparently bursting Union Flag balloons. Miss Retallack explained: "The whole idea is that London is just around the corner from its destruction of a British city. A couple more ads like this should do it if the Brits do not make too much a fuss about their ancient city and capital so blatently disrespected." I wonder what Margaret Thatcher thinks about an image of her popping the Union Jack balloon, not to mention those brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen who traveled halfway across the world to a little place called the Falklands.
Appalling. As an American, the equivalant would be this giant billboard of mayor barry taking a hit with armed guards in the background with caption "Its D.C., come see what makes us tick." Maybe Fjordman has me fired up...

Ad exec. #2: "I know, let's have a really foxy girl fly, oh Idon't know, maybe the Colonies' Southwest Airlines in a skimpy outfit, get kicked off by a prudish virgin flight attendant, and then enjoy all the publicity that the laywers create."
Ad exec. #1: "Too late, already done. Maybe we should import some really cool frogs and get the idiots down at the waterfront to lick them."
Ad exec. #2: "Too late, all the idiots are already taken and are running for the US Democratic Presidential nomination."

SINGAPORE - Singapore has banned an Xbox video game because it contains a sex scene between a woman and a female alien, the city-state's censors said Thursday. "Mass Effect," a futuristic space adventure published by Microsoft Corp., has been banned because of "lesbian intimacy," Chetra S., deputy director of the Board of Film Censors, in a statement.
Players can engage their avatars in a variety of sexual encounters during the game, though none between men or between men and male aliens, according to reports on several blogs. The human-alien duo are depicted kissing and caressing each other in a sex scene that The Straits Times English-language newspaper in Singapore reported ends with the alien saying, "By the gods, that was incredible, commander."
A Microsoft spokesman in Singapore said Microsoft respected Singapore's decision to ban the game, which is to launch globally on Nov. 20. "'Mass Effect' features realistic content and interactions in the context of the science-fiction story line," Ian Tan, marketing communications manager for Southeast Asia said. "The game takes a mature approach to various relationships amongst characters throughout the game and the content in question is another dynamic of that."
Chetra, of the censors' board, said Singapore's video games industry is largely self-regulated, with game importers responsible for declaring to the censorship board that the game content falls within a set of guidelines. "This helps to ensure that games are suitable for a general audience and do not feature exploitative or gratuitous sex and violence, or denigrate any race or religion," Chetra said.
Other video games that have been banned this year include "God of War II," for nudity, and "The Darkness," for "excessive violence and religiously offensive expletives," Chetra said.
Chetra said the city-state's Media Development Authority, which oversees the censors' board, will introduce classification for video games next year, a move that could allow games such as "Mass Effect" to be passed under a mature classification.
Authorities in Singapore have banned gay festivals and censored gay films, saying homosexuality should not be advocated as a lifestyle choice. Under Singapore law, gay sex is deemed "an act of gross indecency," punishable by a maximum of two years in jail. Despite the official ban on gay sex, there have been few prosecutions.

Is Jethro Clampett running the place these days?
Regardless of what you might hear, sexual libertinism isn't a defining characteristic of the non-Christian world. In fact, most non-Christian societies are much more restrictive on sexual matters than the Christian world.
Islam is more than simply the world's most popular religion. It is a cause, Noni Darwish suggested, one that lies at the root of the unrest prevalent in the Middle East.
Darwish, an author who grew up in Egypt only to later renounce the radical forms of Islam she believes form the foundation of terrorist organizations, told a nearly full Durham Hall crowd at Casper College Thursday that Islamic countries are chiefly focused on a singular goal of making the world adhere to their customs and cultures. She said they're turning a blind eye to problems in their own countries that have an oppressive outcome on the lives of people living there.
Darwish, the daughter of the first leader of Fedayeen guerilla operations that sought to oust Jews from Egypt, told the crowd that speaking for human rights in Islamic countries "is taboo, with serious consequences."

Hispanic activist Carlos Quintanilla was arrested in Irving on an accusation of driving with an invalid license and other charges Thursday, the same day he was organizing an immigration rally.
Mr. Quintanilla said Accion America was holding its latest rally to urge police to not take people into custody for minor traffic violations just because they don't have a state-issued identification card or driver's license.
Irving police learned of outstanding warrants against Mr. Quintanilla after he applied for a parade permit and underwent a background check. Police said they had advised Mr. Quintanilla to resolve the warrants before returning to the city. Mr. Quintanilla was taken into custody after conducting a media interview Thursday, Irving police said.
According to Irving police, the outstanding warrants included: criminal trepass from the Dallas County sheriffs office; expired registration, failure to maintain financial responsibility, and speeding from Farmers Branch police; no seat belt, no drivers license and city ordinance violation from Dallas police.

Tell him we're exercising reciprocity with Mexico, and IAW their constitution:
Chapter III
Of Foreigners
Article 33 - Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualities determined in Article 30. They have the right to the guarantees of Chapter I of the first title of this Constitution, but the Executive of the Union has the exclusive right to expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country.
#6
This clown's case of felony stupidity aside, why should police issue a parade permit to people advocating violation of the law? I can see permits for people advocating changing the law, but not for those advocating violating it. Free speech and free assembly are on thing, but foreign meddling and anarchy are quite another.

A 23-year-old college student who was told by a Southwest Airlines employee that her outfit was too revealing to fly is wearing even less on Playboy's Web site. 
On its Web site, Playboy says Ebbert "was too sexy for Southwest Airlines, but she's perfect for Playboy."
