    Default What made you go WTF today?

    What's wrong with you people...

    A western Pennsylvania man has been fined $50 for using his finger to write derogatory words on the dirty cab of a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission truck. Charles J. Vranich, 33, of South Pymatuning Township, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct last week on a citation filed by Fish Commission Officer Jeffrey Giardina. Vranich wrote the words on the officer's truck when both happened to be at the same gas station in September.

    Vranich wasn't immediately available for comment, but his father, Charles Sr., said Monday his son wrote "I suck" on Giardina's truck because his son was upset that the officer made him take an alcohol breath test -- which Vranich passed -- after boating weeks before.

    His father said, "It was something that he shouldn't have done."
    Guess the fish monitor couldn't just wash his truck. :lol:

    First post, but I've lurked for a little while. Hi!

    Rape victim receives 101 lashes for becoming pregnant.

    A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault.

    The girl's father was also fined and warned the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay.

    ...Her rapist was pardoned by the elders. She told the newspaper the rapist had "spoiled" her life.

    I would start a thread about this, but I've done enough damage for one day.

    Toyota NA is stopping production/sales and recalling several popular models because of that sticky accelerator/floor matt problem. This is some stunning news with several millions of dollars and a reputation at stake.

    I have a bare bones '08 Toyota Yaris, and the driver floor matt is connected to a small wedge device that keeps it in place. WTF is going on?

    Don't get me started on cars. I was looking at a Alfa GT JTD 1.9 2006/2007, lovely looking motor, good price but researched the car a little and found out that they suffer from a quite major cambelt/waterpump issue. I don't think Alfa are being much help and having seen the costs of replacing the parts all thats left for me now is to call them 'Fuckers'!

    I want reliability, i thought Alfa had sorted out their reputation god damnit.

    Didn't you used to work for Lotus, Lor? WTF is going on with once reliable auto manufacturers giving up their reputations? (Not to mention possible injuries and deaths from simple things like floor matts sticking under accelerators)

    I certainly did work there, haven't worked there for over 4 years now . Good place to be at the moment in respect to the new Evora/Esprit replacement and the F1 team (Not owned by Group Lotus PLC but they are assisting in the engineering i believe).

    No idea whats going on either way (in respects to the auto market). Alfa always had this rep as the cars were really unreliable but i thought they got better. I've been looking at BMW, Merc's and a few others as a replacement to my current car but I've had people tell me to stay away from BMW for example. I always thought BMW's were pretty reliable motors.

    It's not like Toyota to cock up either, not quite sure if it's only the american production thats affected mind you.

    The residents of the Olde Lexington Gardens subdivsion had a gang problem.

    The two leaders of the gang were attacking residents, kicking and biting them. The gang leaders would get right in the face of anyone who crossed their path, chasing residents back into their homes.

    Then the whole gang of six, including several females, would attack; climbing onto the homeowners roof, refusing to come down; tearing up their lawn.

    Sometimes the entire gang would gather in the street, making a ruckus and blocking traffic in the neighborhood.

    Neighbors decided they'd had enough, the gang had to go. A plan was hatched to kill the two gang leaders.

    Armed men were contacted and on Tuesday morning, both gang leaders were hunted down and killed.

    All of the gang members are wild turkeys. A group of turkeys is called a gang; like a herd of cattle or a gaggle of geese.

    The two toms in the gang had become used to humans and turned aggressive. After they attacked several people in the neighbor, the Department of Natural Resources was called and it was decided to euthanize the toms.

    DNR officials said moving the turkeys would only transfer the problem to another location.

    The female turkeys, known as hens, will be allowed to stay in the neighborhood since they weren't aggressive towards humans.

    Residents of the Olde Lexington Gardens subdivsion said with the gang leaders gone, they won't feel like they're trapped inside their homes.

    Climate science is under assault, progress towards a treaty to end global warming is shuddering to a halt, and Barack Obama is struggling to press on with his clean energy agenda.

    This was the last conversion to the environmental cause that anybody would have wanted.

    In a new audiotape that surfaced today on the al-Jazeera network, Osama bin Laden has pronounced himself a believer in climate change and blames America and other industrialised economies for failing to rein in greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the atmosphere...

    Andrew Young, the ex-aide to embattled two-time former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, says he has an alleged sex tape depicting the former senator and his then-mistress Rielle Hunter – and that the tape is in a safe-deposit box.

    "We were offered millions for that stupid tape," he tells PEOPLE. He says he and his wife Cheri found the tape in "a box of trash filled with crinkled paper and tapes" left behind by Hunter. He says they never considered selling it: "We couldn't live with ourselves."

    Young, 43, served as an aide to Edwards for more than nine years. Just before the 2008 presidential primaries began, he agreed – at Edwards' behest, he says – to publicly claim paternity for the baby being carried by Hunter, 45. Young details the deception in his new tell-all book, The Politician, out today.

    On Jan. 21, Edwards – who told PEOPLE on Jan. 27 that he still "deeply cares" about Elizabeth – admitted that he is the father of Hunter's 2-year-old daughter, Frances Quinn.

    Young says that when he and Cheri first watched the sex tape – which was marked "special" – "we just fell on the floor. We were agape." Adds Cheri: "It was disappointing to see the person you had such hopes and dreams for be so careless."

    Now Hunter is fighting back. On Jan. 28, she filed a motion against Young in a North Carolina court. It seeks the return of photos and videos, including one she says she made in 2006 while working for Edwards.

    "In or about September 2006, using my video camera, I authored a personal video recording that depicted matters of a very private and personal nature," Hunter wrote in an affidavit filed Thursday. "In 2006, I was also having an intimate relationship with Edwards."

    Also in the affidavit, Hunter says the tape was in a "hat box" in her rental home and that it was taken without her consent to "generate publicity."

    Another point of confusion: Young said in The Politician that the naked woman depicted in the video was pregnant. Hunter had Quinn in 2008, more than a year after she says her "private" video was made.

    Young says he cannot comment on the "ongoing litigation" in regard to Hunter. A court date was set for Monday, the same day Young is scheduled to give his first live television interview.

    "We may lose the battle only because we don't have the money or power that John and Elizabeth do," says Young. "We also don't have friends in the judicial system like they do. But we do know the truth and we have the determination to get it out."
    He's still no Bill Clinton, though.

    Homeless and too drunk for the shelter?
    Sleep in a day old porta john.

    Homeless and want to get arrested?
    Tip over the porta johns cause they're all occupied for the night, and then come back to the location when the daily sheriff shows up.

    On the plus side, I'm dealing with about a dozen less homeless today

    Breast reduction for men is the fastest growing part of the cosmetic surgery industry in Britain for the second year in a row, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reports.

    The organization saw an 80% increase in surgery to reduce the size of "moobs," from 323 in 2008 to 581 last year.

    Much of the incentive comes from widespread attention to the oft-displayed physiques, obtained through non-surgical means, of such sports figures and actors as David Beckham and Matthew McConaughey.

    "Many men are feeling the pressure from men's magazines that weren't even being published five or six years ago," says consultant plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover, a BAAPS official, the BBC reports. "In addition, they are just realizing that they can get something done about it."

    But Grover also notes that men also have other alternatives to gynaecomastia, the official name for male breast reduction.

    "Quite a few cases are caused by obesity," he says. "And we often say to men to look at their lifestyles before thinking about the scalpel."
    I'm curious - if you get your moobs reduced, but still have a beer gut, are you as sexy as Beckham?

    Woodstock police are investigating after two young girls reported a man exposed himself to them near the movie theater.

    Police said a 14-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl were walking near the Cherokee 16 Cinemas around 5 p.m. Sunday when a man emerged from behind a section of shrubbery on the southwest corner of the movie theater and exposed himself to them.

    “Allegedly, the man appeared in a complete state of nudity, grabbed his private member and shook it at the girls,” said Sgt. Paul A. Brown of the Woodstock Police Department.

    The girls walked away and called 911 from their cell phone.

    Officers conducted a search of the immediate area within minutes of the call but the suspect was not located, police said.

    Police said the girls described the man as a white male, 18-20 years old with a military-style short haircut.

    “The two girls reacted appropriately by continuing to walk away and notifying police and their parents immediately,” said Brown.
    I like the phrase "private member."

    ...More than half of those of both sexes questioned said there were some circumstances when a rape victim should accept responsibility for an attack.

    The study found that women were less forgiving of the victim than men.

    Some 71% of women thought a person should accept responsibility when getting into bed with someone, compared with 57% of men...

    ITV fined over I'm A Celebrity... jungle rat killing

    ITV has been fined 3,000 Australian dollars (£1,672) after contestants on its show, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, killed and ate a rat.

    The fine, for animal cruelty, was issued by the RSPCA in Australia, where the show was filmed last year.

    "The animal was killed for a TV show, that's not appropriate," said RSPCA chief inspector David O'Shannessy.

    A spokesman for ITV said: "ITV has apologised for the mistake which led to this incident."

    Rice and beans

    He continued: "The production was unaware that killing a rat could be an offence, criminal or otherwise in New South Wales, and accepts that further inquiries should have been made.

    "This was an oversight and we have since thoroughly reviewed our procedures and are putting in place a comprehensive training programme to ensure that this does not happen in future series."

    I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner Gino D'Acampo killed the rat while in the jungle camp last year.

    The Italian chef and actor Stuart Manning ate it after they were "exiled" and reduced to rations of rice and beans.

    ITV also had to pay $2,576 Australian dollars (£1,435) in costs.
    Rats in the jungle. Why don't they let them live their lives?
    It reminds me some politicians who do not let people live their lives.

    Lol! Altho I think eating rats is a disgusting thing, I can't see that there was any reason to get upset about this!
