Slow News Day and Furry Boobs From France
Owning a bike in London is often described as a waiting game until it gets nicked. As if that isn’t bad enough, now I have to worry about it being sexually abused. BBC News reports on a ‘cyclesexual’ who was arrested after attempting to have carnal knowledge with a Schwinn.
The BBC also has a report on a virtual theft that has resulted in a very real arrest. Some Dutch teenagers stole furniture from the Habbo virtual hotel which they then relocated to their own rooms. At least they didn’t fence them for virtual drugs.
There is also a story about Australians being the worst emitters. I assume it has to do with CO2, but you never know.
CMM News has a story on one of the strangest commercials I’ve seen in a while. It’s from France and it’s for Orangina, which is a drink that I have trouble saying with a straight face. Not sure of the target audience. Perhaps psychoanalysts like orange soda?
The YouTube embedding is breaking things now, so you’ll have to click the link for the video.
