I’m partying like in 2003! for the second day running:

Yahoo News: Police: Shampoo camera taped roommates

The guy was caught video taping female roommates via hidden camera in a shampoo bottle, and was caught after a roommate discovered the wiring from the shampoo bottle.

The charge? 15 counts of voyeurism. Voyeurism is a crime in the United States? yikes, there’s a whole pile of celeb blogs and similar sites out there that could be in trouble 🙂

Ethan Smith is taking the piss, right?

A new way to drive traffic perhaps?

Want to know what’s wrong with the hard left, the environazis and animal rights activitists: they want to kill this polar bear:

More at the SMH + News.com.au. Lets see, Polar Bears are facing extinction (allegedly) and yet the very same people who carry on about this want to kill the bear. Obviously drugs are freely available in Germany beceause it’s the only logical conclusion here. In the spirit of Heroes: Save the Bear, Save the World! 🙂

This clever kid is importing old Land Cruisers from Australia to convert to biodiesel for resale in the US, apparently Australian Land Cruisers are the “best cared-for”. I wonder if he needs to convert them to left hand drive? At least now we know where old Land Cruisers go to die: Portland, Oregon.

There’s got to be some irony in Australia exporting second hand cars to the United States 🙂

Slow news day, or have News Ltd just sunk to even lower lows? The lead photo story at news.com.au at 7:25pm Sat AWST:

Does the tambourine eat your butt when you visit news.com.au? or is it simply a matter of extraterrestrial phenomena in Adelaide. Quality Australian journalism at its finest thanks to Rupert Murdoch.

This: Howard Lindzon in a Bra–the Remix. WTF doesn’t even cover this in terms of bizarre. (via 1938media)

Will it ever end. Probably not. The Hyundai Commercial with the driving baby has been banned in Australia according to the SMH:

The Advertising Standards Board ordered Hyundai to pull the advertisement for its Santa Fe model on Tuesday after it ruled that it depicted under-age driving and promoted unlawful behaviour.

It also ruled that the wearing of seatbelts instead of approved child restraints was a matter of safety and should be discouraged in ads.

Some days you just want to move to another country. Today is one of those days.

Enjoy it from YouTube though if you’re Australian, you’ll never see it on TV again. (I could only find the NZ version at YouTube, the Australian version is identical accept for the voiceover at the end)

Australians are fond of shortening names of Government Departments (in part because the web address for each is usually shortened as well), the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is known as DFAT, the Australian Tax Office is commonly known at the ATO, and here in Western Australian the former Department of Fair Trading was renamed to the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection when Labor took office, becoming DOCEP… so what exactly was the Prime Minister thinking when he renamed the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (known commonly as DIMIA) to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIC). Certainly I support the dropping of the Multicultural Affairs name from the Department, it’s divisive and should never have been there in the first place, but DIC? Is this part of the Howard Governments attempts to win over the Pink vote in Inner City Sydney. Coming to Australia, you’ll need to deal with DIC!

From the only in America files:

A teacher is convicted of endangering minors after porn popups appeared on her computer.

A 16 year old kid has his life ruined in Arizona after child porn is found on his computer. A forensics specialist finds 200 separate trojans, malware and spyware.

All US based podcasters could be forced to apply DRM to their podcasts if they include music of any form.

Is it any wonder that they can’t get Iraq right? or is that a very, very long bow 😉
