Company pulls candy bags with toy depicting 9/11 attack:

MIAMI (AP) — Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled.

Lisy Corp., the wholesaler that distributed the candy, said Friday that the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company.

The toys came in an assortment purchased sight unseen from L&M Import in Miami and included the toys depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the twin towers, whistles and other small toys, said Luis Pedron, Lisy’s national sales manager. The invoice said the toy was a plastic swing set.

Now I might be fussy about small details, but you know what they say, better safe than sorry.

Miss dropped due to porn career:

When the management of Miss Norway was informed that Aylar had starred in two porn films, she lost her place in the Norwegian finale.

However, first she tried to blame it on her non-existing twin sister, reported the Norwegian television channel TV Norge Monday night.

Aylar from Oslo is not allowed to participate in the finale of Miss Norway August 29 after her past in the porn industry was revealed.

The two films were made in the US in 2002. They include a number of hardcore porn scenes, reported TV Norge.

“It is clearly written in the requirements that the candidates must not have been pictured naked in a commercial connection, and in this instance, this is the case and then some,” said Geir Hamnes at the Miss Norway management, to the TV Norge news.

When the 20-year-old was confronted with the issue, she claimed she had an identical twin, who was a star in the US.

However, investigations revealed that she does not have a twin sister.

They don’t make pageant contestants like they used to (or maybe they don’t make porn stars like they used to…).

Note: all of the crappy blog posts are from my twin brother, Ivan.

Pornography is positively ‘positive’ for you:

An Australian state funded study has revealed that pornography is actually good for people as it makes them more positive about their bodies and even makes marriages stronger!

Horny 14-year old boys and single downtrodden 43-year old men agree wholeheartidly with the statements eschewed in the report.

Anarchists’ Convention Debates Voting: Anarchists’ Convention Debates Whether Voting Makes You a Bad Anarchist -

A group of anarchists is taking an unusual step to make its political voice heard going to the polls.
[...]
Susan Heitker, 32, of Athens, believes that the U.S. government is neither legitimate nor democratic, but she still plans to vote.

Isn’t that ironic statement akin to:

“I don’t accept the legitimacy of the state! I think I’ll go vote!”

After reading the article and seeing the AvP poster a friend of mine quipped:

“They can go ahead and elect Kerry to their… destruction. Or re-elect Bush to their… destruction.”

Four arrested for eating family member, serving flesh to wedding guests:

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Four members of a family have been arrested and charged with murder for allegedly killing and eating a relative during a wedding reception — and serving his flesh to unwitting party guests, police said Tuesday.

At the July 17 wedding of his daughter, Eladio Baule got angry with his cousin Benjie Ganay who tripped and accidentally touched the bride’s bottom, said Senior Police Inspector Perla Bacuel, at Narra town in Palawan province, southwest of Manila.

A few hours later, Baule, his son Gerald, another cousin Junnie Buyot and a nephew, Sabtuari Pique, allegedly confronted Ganay, then drove him to a secluded place where they stabbed him to death, Bacuel said.

Buyot, who surrendered to police and is acting as a witness, told police they then roasted Ganay’s body using coconut leaves and kerosene, Bacuel said.

Vandal Edits Swear Words in Library Books:

LAYTON, Utah — A self-appointed editor of library books has given new meaning to “purple prose.” The do-it-yourself censor is turning swear words into “darns” and “hecks” — in purple ink.

“They believe it’s within their right to deface public property and impose what they believe on others,” library director Pete Giacoma said.

“It’s a crime. It would be prosecuted if we were to find who did it, by luck or accident,” he said.

Destroying or defacing library materials is a class B misdemeanor. It’s punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but Giacoma said the library usually will settle for restitution.

“I think the worry of the public, every once in a while, is that we’re doing it,” he said. “We’re not.”

Giacoma said in cases like this, the vandals will usually tire of editing books and stop on their own.

My first semester at A&M included numerous run-ins with Savonarola-wannabe’s who would partake and condone in sanctimonious activities like that. Bunch of griefers.
