Glowing Live Cats To Replace Cats Eyes On Motorways: Photos

HAVE you seen the cats that glow in the dark? Cats Eyes are now a thing of history as scientists invents cats – whole cats – that can sit in the middle of motorway lanes and prevent accidents. After years of waiting,  might this be that moment when cats can finally help mankind and do a day’s work? Maybe. Anorak would prefer to go with glowing dogs, who are more likely to “sit” and “stay” than cats. And what of tortoises? But the debate is best saved for later.

9/11 Remembrance Services In Photos: Hate, Love And The Human Condition In New York And London

WHAT were the 9/11 remembrance services about? Answer: people. In one corner of Grosvenor Square, London, the priapic Muslims Against Crusades burned the US flag, wailed and gnashed teeth during a minute’s silence triggered as a mark of respect to the dead. These goons served to show us what the enemy is: stupidity, ignorance, aggression, racism, bigotry, arrogance and vanity. Others – millions and millions and millions of others – realised that we could not forget that day. You might shed a tear. All human life is out there. And some of it shames us all…

The Creepiest World Trade Center Adverts

ON 9/11, it’s time to look at those adverts that featured the World Trade Towers in New York. The ad for the Asbestos Corporation Limited, from 1981, trills:
“Asbestos contains fire, cannot burn and holds up after metal and glass have melted down, giving vital time for people to escape.”

The tagline actually says:

“When life depends on it, you use asbestos.”

Did Scottish Artist Willie Garner Draw Blueprints For 9/11 Attack On Twin Towers? Picture Proof!

DID Willie Gardner inspire the or even mastermind the attack on New York’s World Trade Centre on September 11 2001? Did he draw the blueprints?

Sadly, we will never know. Mr Gardner died last year. He was 78. All we can do is look at the chalk drawing he made of a a boyish Osama bin Laden in front of the twin Towers.

The Daily Mail describes it thus:

His artwork shows the falling locks of the child’s hair spiralling downwards, which looks like fire and smoke billowing into the sky from one of the towers.

Mark Duggan’s Chilling Funeral: Lying Daily Mail And Daily Express Defame Mourners As Gangstas

MARK Duggan is dead. He was killed by police in Tottenham. He was buried today. The Daily Mail’s Anna Edwards reports:

It was the send-off he would have wanted – but one which will strike a chill through a country still recovering from the devastating riots which turned British streets into no-go areas.

The headline above her skewed story declares:

“Gangsta salute for a ‘fallen soldier'”

Always good to know what the dead man would have wanted. But what is it about seeing the funeral of a man shot dead by police that sends a chill through Anna’s bones?

…And as his body was ferried to his funeral in a horse-drawn carriage, mourners lined the streets to pay their gang-style respects – arms outstretched in salute to ‘a fallen soldier’.

The Killing Of Baha Mousa: It’s Not Manslaughter It’s Just A Few Bad Apples

BAHA Mousa’s killing is Britain’s Abu Ghraib. Baha Mousa was beaten to death by the British Army in Iraq. No-one has been charged and convicted of his killing. In Britain the horror is hidden away until all the main players are long dead.

Baha Mousa, 26, was a widower and father of two young children. He was seized with nine other Iraqi men. He died after 36 hours in custody, during which time he was deprived for food water and sleep. He suffered 93 separate injuries as a result of being kicked, punched and restrained by soldiers in Basra. Nineteen British men were involved in the abuse.

The 1st Battalion Queen’s Lancashire Regiment inflicted “gratuitous” violence on a group of 10 Iraqi civilians, who were kicked and hit in turn, “causing them to emit groans and other noises and thereby playing them like musical instruments”. This humiliating practice was nicknamed “the choir”.

Celebrity Big Brother: The Daily Star’s Lies And Wet Dreams Were Better Than The Show

CELEBRITY Big Brother (proprietor Richard Desmond) is at its end. After 19 days straight of front-page reporting in the Daily Star (prop. R. Desmond), the paper can announce that the show’s winner is Paddy Doherty. He saw off Kerry Katona’s kidzz, ketchup and kebabs to take top spot and with it the spoils of breathless interviews in OK! (prop R. Desmond) and exclusives on Channel Five (prop. R Desmond).

Time, then, to look back and see whihc of the Daily Star’s front-page exclusies was the most factually correct:

Aug 16: “Big Bro Big Sexy Shock – Naked romps and kinky padded cell revealed”
Fact: No naked romps and no kinky padded cell

Aug 17: Jordan Busts Into Big Brother
Fact: Kate Price, for it is she, did not go on Big Brother

Mr Jailin’s Breast Grope Caught On Speed Camera: He Says It’s A Police Fit Up

TO China, where businessman and motorist Deng Jialin Chinese has been captured on a speed camera groping the brest of his female passenger. Deng Jialin was breaking the speed limit as he drove his Nissan at 60mph in the 50mph zone between Santai and Shehong in Sichuan Province. He has been fined.

But that was not enough. The local police published the image of Jailin (and how’s that for a miscreant’s name, readers?) in local media. Jailin is not best pleased. He says the iamge is in breach of his privacy and has been digitally manipulated. He is threatening to sue the Mianyang Traffic Bureau.

To compound his misery, it transpires that the woman is not Jailin’s wife. It is a “university student”.

The Women In Simon Cowell’s Threesome Revealed: Sex And Super-Injunctions

SIMON Cowell wants us know that he once had sex with two woman in one bed. It’s front-page news on the Sun, via which we learn:

COWELL: MY THREE-IN-BED SECRET – Night with pair of beauties was ‘cool’

The word “cool” manages to age Cowell and give us a hint at how long ago the event occurred. Moreover, this sex-sational revelation manages to remove from the front pages news that the star of Cowell’s latest ITV pap-fest Red Or Black beats up women.

It is, indeed, odd that a man who is rumoured to have shagged 2000 women has not been the subject of a single shag ‘n’ tell in the tabloids. Who needs super-injunctions? Not Simon Cowell. It is thus left to the top shagger to tell us about his fairytale life:

SIMON Cowell yesterday sensationally confessed to having a three-in-a-bed session with two mystery beauties.

WHAT would Barbie look like in real life? When Anorak compiled out gallery of celebrity dolls we missed Barbie. Does anyone look like Barbie Millicent Roberts? Would anyone alive boast such long legs, massive chest, tiny feet, trim waist, thick hair and slim neck?

Boffins at Finland’s University Central Hospital in Helsinki calculated that real life Barbie would lack the 17 to 22% body fat needed to menstruate. Sorry, Ken. No kids. You can alway adopt, though.

Galia Slayen created a real-life Barbie – the creature stands about 6 feet tall with a 39″ bust, 18″ waist and 33″ hips.

Daily Mail Sparks Midsomer Murders Race War In Worlingham, Suffolk: A Golliwog In The Window

JENNA Mason has been arrested and charged with racially aggravated harassment’ for placing a golliwog in the window of her home. Her next door neighbour in Worlingham, Suffolk, is one Rosemarie O’Donnell. Mrs O’Donnell is black. Mrs Mason is white.

Before this latest episode the pair had been in dispute. Mrs Mason and her husband Terry want to erect stables on their land. Mrs O’Donnell and her husband Stephen are against it.
Says Stephen:

“It’s not a children’s toy. You can see it has buttons and other items on it. It was clearly deliberately placed on the window sill facing out of the window. I do not believe it was casually tossed up there. It has caused immense upset. You live in the countryside and you think you have got away from all this nonsense. I would much rather they went after me with a baseball bat rather than insulting my children and wife. We came to East Anglia because we thought it was beautiful, scenic and very safe with an extremely low level of crime.”

Nathan Hageman Is Tabloid Villain Of Th Month: Media Beats Villain Red And Black

NATHAN Hageman is front-page news. He won £1million on ITV’s Red Or Black.

The Show is best described by Dec of Ant ‘n’ Dec: “There’s no skill or talent involved.”

It is just a celebration of money.

To the Sun Hageman is:

“£1m Red Or BLack Fury – TV BRUTE KEEPS LOOT”

Hageman is a product of Bullingdon Britain, having been jailed in HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire. He got five years’ jail for attacking his former lover Amy Edwards and aggravated burglary.

And now he is being smacked about in the court of public opinion for lying. You see, what he told media after his win was:

“I got mixed up with the wrong woman, someone I shouldn’t have been involved with. I decided to get out of the situation and ended up with another woman, who was such a nice girl – completely different. But the woman I left wouldn’t leave me alone. Then I started getting calls from a guy in Reading. He was very threatening. I think she’d got involved with him. I tried to brush it off but he kept saying he was going to harm me. I was concerned for my mum, sister and niece and I went there and assaulted him. I was an idiot for doing it, I know, but that’s the state of mind I was in.”

Ian Wright On Garry Cook And ‘Shambolic’ Manchester City Is The Most Stupid Thing You Will Read This Year

IAN Wright wades into the self-awareness and guile of a Glastonbury camper with diarrhea heading to the portaloo. His article for The Sun is so appalling, so lacking in nous, insight and sensible thought you wonder for his sanity – and that of the paper than continues to employ him. He writes:

I FELT extremely disappointed when I read the story in yesterday’s Sun about the e-mail sent to Nedum Onuoha’s mum from Manchester City. How can anyone possibly think it’s acceptable to joke about someone suffering from cancer?…

Now City have to investigate this disgusting behaviour by a member of their staff and sack whoever wrote that e-mail.

Have to. Wright has spoken. They. Have. To.

They can’t sweep this one under the carpet. Nor can the FA and the Premier League.

Manchester City Staffer Wrote Email Worse Than Cancer To Nedum Onuoha’s Mum

DID Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook send an offensive message to the cancer-stricken mother of the team’s Nedum Onuoha? He says no. But Dr Anthonia Onuoha, who also works as her son’s agent, appears unconvinced. She has complained to the FA and Premier League about the e-mail she received. What she expects them to do is a moot point. The Premier League is a massive marketing department and the FA has less teeth than Albert Steptoe’s grandson.

The Sun says City are determined to find the emailer. Indeed, they say they already have.

The story goes that in October 2010 Dr Anthonia wrote to City’s football administrator, Brian Marwood. She said her body was “ravaged with cancer and ongoing chemotherapy” but she was still sharp of mind.

Two weeks later she, reportedly, received this:

“Brian. Ravaged with it!!……I don’t now how you sleep at night. You used to be such a nice man when I worked with you at nike.”

This site says that message was signed “G”.

Animal Rights Hero Steven Seagal ‘Rides Tank Over’ 100 Chickens And Fellow Cocks

YOU are about to see Steven Seagal, the actor, break up a cock fighting ring at the home of unarmed 42-year-old Jesus Sanchez Llovera by driving a tank over a fence and, reportedly, also over lots of live birds. The justice was recorded for Steven Seagal: Lawman, a reality TV show that is actually real – yep, not a spoof (also starring celebrity lawman Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio):

Shortly after the incident, Seagal explained that the raid on suspect Jesus Llovera—which involved a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department team in full riot gear swarming his family’s home, as Steven Seagal crashed through his gates in a tank—all came about because, as Seagal said to a local TV station, “Animal cruelty is one of my pet peeves.” So in order to prevent said animal cruelty, Seagal and his team apparently “euthanized” the more than 100 roosters it found on Llovera’s property and, according to a just-filed claim from Llovera, also shot and killed his 11-month-old puppy.
