When you are doing something stupid and illegal…don’t videotape it and show it to the world!

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of having posted a video of himself on YouTube driving at speeds of more than 140 mph, police said Thursday filmed on the A76 single-carriageway road in southwest Scotland.

The police saw the video and promptly arrested him. So…he was stupid, twice.

“Young men in particular seem to think they are invincible behind the wheel — but the facts tell a different story.” Sergeant Scott McLachlan stated.

A woman in Minnesota has been fined for public sex acts and lewd conduct with a man who was wearing a kilt.

Chandra Schaefer, 20, of Fargo, was accused of having sex with Nathan Blair, 24, of Moorhead, Minn., on a car and then near a pine tree in late July.

She was ordered to pay a fine and is on unmonitored probation.

There are just some things people don’t want to see…and, hey…why wasn’t the man fined? I guess seeing some dude’s bum in a kilt why doing it in public is ok?

The photo shoot by Spencer Tunick, the New York artist famous for his pictures of nude gatherings in public settings worldwide, was designed to draw attention to the effects of global warming on Switzerland’s shrinking glaciers.

“The melting of the glaciers is an indisputable sign of global climate change,” said the environmental group Greenpeace, which co-organized the event.

It said most Swiss glaciers will disappear by 2080 if global warming continues at its current pace.

The event, which followed Tunick’s previous shoots in London, Mexico City and Amsterdam, was designed to minimize any impact on the environment, Greenpeace said.

Temperatures during the shoot hovered around 50 degrees.

Man, talk about shrinkage!! Plus those nipples could probably cut glass!

Malaysian police have arrested a woman in connection with the murder of a man whose body was chopped into 11 pieces and stuffed into a refrigerator in a posh apartment in the capital.

The remains were discovered in black bin bags when a man who bought the apartment at a bank auction went to clean the unit, which had been vacant for more than three months, the Star newspaper said on Tuesday.

A strong stench led the owner and security guard to the refrigerator, which had been sealed with masking tape.

Newspapers in neighboring Singapore said the victim was believed to be a Singaporean who had been married to the woman and who had been out of touch with his family for nearly two years.

The Straits Times carried a photograph of the woman, described as an air stewardess from Sarawak, being led away by police, a scarf hiding her handcuffed hands.

It quoted unnamed sources as saying police were hunting for the woman’s lover.

Police said they had probably solved the case with the arrest of the woman, The Star newspaper said.

After exhaustively compiling a list of the 237 reasons why people have sex, researchers found that young men and women get intimate for mostly the same motivations. It’s more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart.

College-aged men and women agree on their top reasons for having sex — they were attracted to the person, they wanted to experience physical pleasure and “it feels good,” according to a peer-reviewed study in the August edition of Archives of Sexual Behavior. Twenty of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.

Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women, but they did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: “I was attracted to the person.”

Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years and their own money to study the overlooked why behind sex while others were spending their time on the how.

“It’s refuted a lot of gender stereotypes … that men only want sex for the physical pleasure and women want love,” said University of Texas clinical psychology professor Cindy Meston, the study’s co-author. “That’s not what I came up with in my findings.”

Forget thinking that men are from Mars and women from Venus, “the more we look, the more we find similarity,” said Dr. Irwin Goldstein, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego. Goldstein, who wasn’t part of Meston’s study, said the Texas research made a lot of sense and adds to growing evidence that the vaunted differences in the genders may only be among people with sexual problems.

Meston and colleague David Buss first questioned 444 men and women — ranging in age from 17 to 52 — to come up with a list of 237 distinct reasons people have sex. They ranged from “It’s fun” which men ranked fourth and women ranked eighth to “I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease” which ranked on the bottom by women.

Once they came up with that long list, Meston and Buss asked 1,549 college students taking psychology classes to rank the reasons on a one-to-five scale on how they applied to their experiences.

“None of the gender differences are all that great,” Meston said. “Men were more likely to be opportunistic towards having sex, so if sex were there and available they would jump on it, somewhat more so than women. Women were more likely to have sex because they felt they needed to please their partner.”

But this is among college students, when Meston conceded “hormones run rampant.” She predicted huge differences when older groups of people are studied.

Since her study came out Tuesday, people are coming up with new reasons to have sex.

“Originally, I thought that we exhaustively compiled the list, but now I found that there should be some added,” Meston said.

Three young Russians boarded the plane drunk Thursday and “continued their party on board.”

“One of them took a fancy to a girl but she did not want to socialize with the new admirer,” police said.

On rejection, the passenger slapped the woman on her face several times. Another passenger immediately rose to defend her.

“A fight began, the situation started to get out of hand and the crew made the only right decision — to turn back.”

The three drunk men were detained on landing at /a St Petersburg airport. They faced fines of “dozens of thousands of dollars,” police said.

The woman received medical treatment at the airport and the plane resumed its flight to Turkey.

Some people are just desperate to be part of the Mile High Club!

Once again, the internet is blamed for people’s actions, or in this case, inactions.

A couple in Reno Nevada were so into the internet and playing video games, they couldn’t be bothered to take care of their two children, who suffered from malnutrition, dehydration, infections, and inadequate muscle development. Michael and Iana Straw pled guilty to child neglect and will most likely spend 12 years in jail and never see these children again. Both toddlers are in foster care, have gained weight and are doing well.

Patrick Killen, spokesman for Nevada Child Abuse Prevention, said video game addiction’s correlation to child abuse is “a new spin on an old problem.”

“As we become more technologically advanced, there’s more distractions,” Killen said. “It’s easy for someone to get addicted to something and neglect their children. Whether it’s video games or meth, it’s a serious issue, and (we) need to become more aware of it.”

Sure. This what we teach our children. Blame your irresponsibility on inanimate objects or other people in order to take the blame off of yourself and not own up to your shit.
 
Last month, experts at an American Medical Association meeting backed away from a proposal to designate video game addiction as a mental disorder, saying it had to be studied further. Some said the issue is like alcoholism, while others said there was no concrete evidence it’s a psychological disease.

Once again, we may be able to have a “disease” to blame for our ills. Don’t we have enough?

I think as the parents’ punishment, they should have to sit in a room full of children playing video games or surfing the ‘net and not be able to eat or go to the bathroom for at least two weeks!!!

WASHINGTON - Police on Capitol Hill are baffled by an attempted robbery that began with a handgun put to the head of a teenager and ended in a group hug.

It started about midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing a dinner of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp on the back patio of a District of Columbia home. That’s when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the head of a 14-year-old girl.

“Give me your money, or I’ll start shooting,” he said, according to D.C. police and witnesses.

Everyone froze, including the girl’s parents. Then one guest spoke.

“We were just finishing dinner,” Cristina “Cha Cha” Rowan, 43, told the man. “Why don’t you have a glass of wine with us?”

The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, “Damn, that’s good wine.”

The girl’s father, Michael Rabdau, 51, told the intruder to take the whole glass, and Rowan offered him the whole bottle.

The robber, with his hood down, took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese. He put the gun in his sweatpants.

The story then turns even more bizarre.

“I think I may have come to the wrong house,” he said before apologizing. “Can I get a hug?”

Rowan, who works at her children’s school and lives in Falls Church, Va., stood up and wrapped her arms around the armed man. The four other guests followed.

“Can we have a group hug?” the man asked. The five adults complied.

The man walked away a few moments later with the crystal wine glass in hand. Nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt.

Once he was gone, the group walked into the house, locked the door and stared at each other — speechless. Rabdau called 911, and police came to take a report and dust for fingerprints.

Police classified the case as strange but true. Investigators have not located a suspect. The witnesses thought he might have been high on drugs.

“We’ve had robbers that apologize and stuff but nothing where they sit down and drink wine. It definitely is strange,” said Cmdr. Diane Groomes, adding that the hugs were especially unusual. “The only good thing is they would be able to identify him because they hugged him.”

A man, decidedly dirty and hot, utilized a public fountian to take a nice cool bath - naked of course.

A crowd of tourists admiring the historic 17th century Baroque fountain were surprised to see a man strip and wade into the fountain in the middle of the day. He now faces criminal charges.

The fountain is at the base of Rome’s Spanish Steps and seems to be a draw for troublemakers. Two weeks prior to the naked swimmer, another man was arrested for driving his car down the steps.

I gotta get out more…one more reason to visit Europe. sheesh!

A mother in Tennessee, fed up with her daughters antics and bad behavior, has forced her to stand on a street corner holding a sign that states, “I don’t obey my parents, I’m a liar. I steal from my mom. I have a bad attitude.” This all stemmed from an incident from Sunday morning.
Tashara said having to wear her offenses was eye-opening.

“It might even work,” she said. “I’m gonna start (behaving better) because I don’t want to be standing out here with everybody looking at me like I’m crazy with this sign.”

Sure this might work…as long as her sign matches her shoes!

Hey, it’s not fair! I want to be pampered and have a pretty coat too!
