Beijing Launches Cartoon Police on Web Portals

Sep 1st, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

Starting today, cartoon police characters will appear every 30 minutes on 13 of China’s top portals.

While surfing the Net, users will see little animated characters walking, biking or driving across their screen to remind them that big brother is indeed watching.

China diligently patrols the Internet for politically or morally threatening material – nudity, profanity, illegal gambling, pirated music, books and films.

The cartoon characters will be both male and female….meaning, yes, cartoon characters have a gender.

If the users find themselves on a site the coppers need to know about, they can click on the virtual patroller and be redirected.

China has 137 million people online….about 37 million of them work for big brother.

lesson learned -freedom of speech is NOT something enjoyed and abused in every country.

$12 Million Trouble Writes a Letter

Sep 1st, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

Somebody sent me the link to a letter written by Trouble, the Maltese Terrier that received $12 million from Leona Helmsley after the ‘Queen of Mean’ passed away.

It goes like this -

Members of the House Staff,

As you have heard, Mrs. Helmsley left me a trust fund worth $12 million so you’ll excuse me if it appears I’m not listening to anything you guys say from this point forward.

Oh, by the way, effective immediately I’ll pee anywhere I damn well please.
There’s gonna be some new rules around here. For starters, dinner will be in my bowl at exactly 5:00 pm. Not 5:01. Got that? All table scraps will be given to me, not the cat. If I ever see table scraps in the cat’s dish the entire kitchen staff will be fired. Also, the cat doesn’t eat until I’m finished. If she doesn’t like that rule she’s free to file a complaint from whatever shelter she ends up being dropped off at.

Another rule: No more continue reading….

Great job, Animal Internet.

I just wish I had this much insight sometimes into what I was thinking.

Mom Tries Flushing Newborn Down the Toilet

Sep 1st, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

I am becoming more convinced that in some cases, kids should be allowed to choose their parents.

A 20-year-old woman gave birth to her little boy prematurely in a toilet at a McDonald’s restaurant where she was working.

The woman had to excuse herself from working at the drive-thru window because of pain.

She was hoping, perhaps, for a drive-thru abortion?!

When she didn’t come back in 15 minutes co-workers went looking for her.

When paramedics arrived the baby was still in the toilet…living off the placenta maybe?

The mother told paramedics, “I didn’t know I was pregnant.”

The woman, a ‘heavy girl’ as described by her neighbor might not have been able to tell she was pregnant.

Nope…no menstrual cycle for 32 weeks wouldn’t give it away either.

Another reason why baby’s should hang on after they are born…because the ride starts immediately.
