Talk about a horrible Photoshop job. They couldn’t even be bothered to change the colour of the dude’s hand, or do a proper recreation of what the background would look like now that the new dude’s head is smaller. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that this stinks of some petty racism. WTF? Who’s bright idea what this…!?

Thanks to Simon for sending this my way.

Well, it seems that the Lithuanian government has smartened up a bit, and decided to tackle the problem. As of this past January, they have banned gas stations from selling booze at night. Yes, you read that correctly… they can still sell booze during the day… just not at night. According to StatoilHydro, the company running the gas stations, this is eating into their profits, and they’re not happy with that:

OSLO (Reuters) – Norwegian oil and gas group StatoilHydro is trying to reverse a ban on the sale of alcohol at petrol stations in Lithuania, claiming it may lead to massive lay-offs, daily Dagens Naeringsliv said on Wednesday.

The ban on selling alcohol at night came into effect on January 1, after which the number of accidents linked to alcohol have dropped by 45 percent in January-May compared with the same period last year, the paper said, quoting police data.

Wow. I love that statistic though: a 45% drop in alcohol-related accidents. Those are some heartless bastards at StatoilHydro if they’re only concerned about their profit margin.

Thanks to Ted for letting me know about this insanity!

Now, some of these images are just… dumb. It really makes you wonder how someone who plays with the structure of a building actually got a license to do so. However, in some cases, like the picture with the balcony over the train tracks, it’s entirely possible that they just left the tracks there as it would be more expensive to rip them up. I dunno. However, those balconies around the lamp post…? The guy who approved that should be beaten senseless.

I’ll leave the rest of the images to you for your own conclusions and amusement.

Thanks to Molly for forwarding this collection of horrific images my way.

Down in Oklahoma, there’s this 14 year old gutless motherfucker and his brother who thought it would be fun to beat his cat senseless and film the entire ordeal and post it onto YouTube. He knew what he was doing. He had his face hidden, and even claimed to the camera that people were referring to him as the “animal abuser”, and proceeded to walk into a washroom where his cats were waiting. I believe that the cat named Dusty was the only one abused, and he looks almost like my cat Coconut. I watched about 20 seconds of the video to see if this was actually a case of animal abuse, or people harping about nothing, and I was completely disgusted and had to stop it. How someone could do this, I have no idea, but I haven’t felt anger like this in a while.

This site was created that provides a lot of info about who this kid is, how to voice your outrage, what the media has broadcast about the incident, and what steps the law enforcement is taking down there:

Never before have I felt the urge to do someone bodily harm. There is NO EXCUSE for something like this. I seriously hope that this kid’s life is forever screwed up for abusing that cat. He should never be forgiven.

On a happier note, both cats have been rescued from that household, and will hopefully find better homes in the near future.

Kenny Glenn… you disgust me.

Pop group Pet Shop Boys have revealed they have turned down a request by animal rights group Peta to rename themselves the Rescue Shelter Boys.

“Peta Europe has written to Pet Shop Boys with a request they are unable to agree to,” reads a post on the band’s official website.

But the band admits the request “raises an issue worth thinking about”.

Peta’s letter requests the name change due to the cruelty which they allege takes place in the pet trade.

If the band were to agree to the name change, it continues, it would “encourage your millions of fans to consider giving a home to an abandoned or unwanted animal from an animal shelter”.

In her letter, Peta’s special projects manager Yvonne Taylor admits that her request “may at first seem bizarre”.

It goes on to list a series of criticisms against the way pet shops obtain, maintain and house their animals.

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe were inspired to call themselves the Pet Shop Boys by friends who worked in a pet shop in west London.

Originally named West End, the electronic pop duo won a Brit award for their outstanding contribution to music earlier this year.

The group – whose hits include West End Girls, Heart and It’s A Sin – released Yes, their 10th studio album, last month.

If they’re going to ask the Pet Shop Boys to change their name, PETA might as well do the same, as their acronym is usually associated with the phrase “People Eat Tasty Animals”.

Still, this isn’t the most embarrassing thing to happen to PETA. Let’s not forget Pamela Anderson.

A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.

The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling.

He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the “death, destruction and terrorisation” caused by God.

Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed.

“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Judge Polk wrote in his ruling.

Mr Chambers cannot refile the suit but may appeal.

Mr Chambers sued God last year. He said God had threatened him and the people of Nebraska and had inflicted “widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants”.

He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk’s ruling before deciding whether to appeal.

The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and “a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience”.

“Since God knows everything,” he reasoned, “God has notice of this lawsuit.”

Mr Chambers, a state senator for 38 years, said he filed the suit to make the point that “anyone can sue anyone else, even God”.

Why doesn’t this guy try to sue Mother Nature for ruining a perfect day with rain, or Jack Frost for icing the roads which cause accidents every year, or even the Tooth Fairy for breaking and entering?!

How the hell is this guy still a senator!?

Imagine standing at the alter, the room is silent, everyone is watching you, while you watch the door, waiting for your bride to arrive. The doors open, everyone turns, and you see her… standing in this dress:

Good lord.

Molly forwarded this to me, so SHE gets the credit!

Seriously… what the hell did this guy think was going to happen? That they would just hand over the cash? Was he high? I think so.

Reminds me something I saw on eBay back when the Wii had been out for only a few months and were almost impossible to come by. Some dude was selling a Wii for $1 million USD, and said something along the lines of “Make eBay history! Be the first person to ever pay $1 million for a Wii!”. Now, maybe it’s just me, but I would think that if someone worked hard to earn $1 million, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to pay that much for a console… especially considering that if they WERE a millionaire, they’d probably have connections to ensure that they got one regardless of how scarce they were.

WTF.
