Indian husband uses secret sex video to extort dowry

May 13th, 2008 by Maria

Here’s a dead giveaway – unbeknowst to you, he makes a sex tape and then blackmails your family with the saucy tape!

Well, that’s what this distraught woman in India found out; apparently hubby dearest had been donning the director’s cap when they went for a rough and tumble in the bedroom.

And that’s not all! The man clearly has a get-rich-quick plan as he has threated to post the sex tape on a pornography site on the Internet unless the family pays up a hefty dowry – a staggering 8 million rupees ($200 000).

By the way, did I mention that the poor family had already dished out a mega $10 000 worth in twinkling jewelery?

His wife should blog about her nasty hubby and upload his details.

I mean, he admits to browsing porn, wanted to upload his own home video and is now released on bail for threatening his wife’s family. Can you imagine what prospective employers will stumble across when they Google his details?

In our capable hands

May 2nd, 2008 by Maria

Talk about a “hands-on” approach.

The British based Office of Government Commerce (OGC) is a well-meaning organization that aims at “improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement”.

More of a let’s not leave things be, let’s make stuff happen sort of cool attitude.

Shocked cat

You got the name, you got your mission statement, all you need is a chic logo and some well needed marketing. And that’s what they did. Unfortunately for the distinguished group of gentlemen and ladies, there was a bit of a hiccup at the design level. Oh, it looked sleek and matter of fact, minimalist and yet modern … but let’s say it needed a bit of lateral thinking!

Once OGC had paid a hefty £14 000 for their logo and unveiled it to their eager staff members, a most unbecoming picture came to light. As the delightfully tickled staff pointed out, when you turned the fancy logo vertically, the image gave a whole new meaning to “tight fisted” approach.

Needless to say, all marketing stationary bearing the embarrassing logo was quickly packed away.

As one spokesperson for OGC said: “It is not inappropriate to an organization that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”

This is the wrong instance to say firm grip.

When good animals are used by bad people

April 28th, 2008 by Maria

Sometimes people find themselves in situations where they really want to attack someone, but don’t have a traditional weapon at hand. So they improvise. In New Zealand, William Singalargh used a hedgehog as a projectile and managed to wound a younger man’s leg. He was later arrested for assault with a weapon, though it is doubtful a hedgehog is on the list of weapons police normally look for in assault cases.

Milk it for all its worth

April 22nd, 2008 by Maria

Talk about serenading the domestic ones.

An innovative dairy farmer has struck upon the perfect milking solution! He has turned to the ancient art of Tai Chi to coax and relax his beloved cows… you know so that they produce better, creamier and yummier milk.

Laughing cows

For a minute there that sentence was headed down a very questionable path.

When good bras go bad

April 21st, 2008 by Maria

Victoria’s Secret stores are known for their softer side, specializing in the sale of high-end bras and panties. But the retail chain was in for a hard surprise when Jessica Lang of Greenville, SC, filed a lawsuit against them after claiming she was injured by a bra!

Giant bra

Feeling discomfort in her breast one morning, she removed the offensive undergarment to alleviate the pain and it left her with a 3-inch long laceration. Following the incident she sought treatment and missed several days of work, which led, she says, to her losing her job. Though Ms. Lang is suing for medical expenses, future disability, pain and suffering, and loss of future prospects (she claims this injury will hurt her possible career as a model), Victoria’s Secret is denying the allegations.

They claim the injury is the result of her own recklessness. :)

Squirrel pack goes nuts and kills dog

April 17th, 2008 by Maria

I’ve heard of eagles swooping down to grab a little pup but this is perhaps more bizarre. Seriously, you don’t wanna take your little doggie for a walk in his park.

Story goes that in the sleepy village of Lazo, Russia, a stray dog was barking at a group of black squirrels lurking among the trees. Dogs will bark at anything; firecrackers, leaves rustling in the wind or even at its own tail. So nothing weird there… until the bunch of furry rodents made a leap for the poor dog and started to gut the fellow. Ouch! Night of Flesh-Eating Squirrels, anyone? :)

Squirrel

Sounds like pretty hard-core squirrels. Was it the rodent equivalent of Robert DeNiro’s “Are you talking to me?”

According to witnesses, when they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them.

Well, baffled experts wonder if a pine corn shortage is to blame. How do you jump from pine to dog meat? Why not go through the customary scavenging dust bins and begging with puppy eyes routine first?

Did I mention that the ravaging feast lasted almost a minute? Creepy!

Hmm …. Is there a nuke dump site in that area?

No dying allowed

April 16th, 2008 by Maria

For most people living in a democratic country, it’s not cool when the government makes unreasonable laws and tries to control the lives of ordinary citizens too much. But it sure can be funny sometimes.

In the small village of Sarpourenx in southwest France, the people are facing a morbid problem. Their cemetery is overcrowded, and they have no space left to bury their dead. Gerard Lalanne, the village’s wise 70-year-old mayor, quickly came up with a solution: he issued an ordinance banning all residents from dying.

Sorry, we're full. No more dying allowed.

The price of Virginity

April 14th, 2008 by Maria

When some couples break up they take each other to court over custody of the kids or the house, or to sue for alimony. But a Malaysian woman has taken her court battle to new extremes, suing her husband for approximately the equivalent of $882,000 (US Dollar) for the loss of her virginity!

Husband and Wife

After her husband persuaded her to have sex with him by promising to marry her, his family refused to acknowledge the union that took place a few months later. She says she was promised a happy marriage and received only humiliation at the hands of her husband and in-laws instead. Let this be a lesson to the bad husbands of the world – if you screw your wife over, she will do the same to you!
