Couple hire ‘copter for cat

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

An Italian couple paid £7,000 for a private helicopter to take their cat from Rome to Sardinia because it was afraid of planes and boats.

Luigi and Donna DiMichele were moving home from the Italian capital to the island of Sardinia.

Their black cat Fufi refused to go near any of the ferries they could have taken and was terrified of planes - but seemed happy around helicopters.

Donna said: “Fufi means a lot to us, and so investing so much money in one trip was worth it.”

Woman evicted for noisy lovemaking!

Funny News September 30th, 2007

A German woman has been evicted from her home because of her noisy lovemaking.

Mother of two Alenka Schmidt, 34, was accused by her landlady of breaching the peace.

In her eviction letter the landlady wrote: “Neighbours, not just where you live but in adjacent houses, complained of regularly, clearly sexually motivated, loud disturbances of the peace.”

Ms Schmidt moved into her apartment near Nuremberg in June.

She admits: “OK, there could have been times when I was a little loud. But not so loud that everyone in the house could hear. My boyfriend and I had totally normal sex.”

Rosa Muenster, a neighbour, saw differently, saying: “She was at it loads of times in the week and an undisturbed night’s sleep was unthinkable.”

Under German law, being a noisy tenant is a serious offence.

But Ms Schmidt feels she has been bullied: “The old fogies simply don’t approve of the way I live. They condemned me as soon as I put down my shutters at night.”

She has moved out in accordance with the letter but has promised to fight the eviction in court.

Come to the sand of make believe!

Funny News September 30th, 2007

A Cornish joker has set up a website to lure tourists to a beach that doesn’t exist.

A website for the fake Porthemmet beach boasts it is the best in the county and the only one in Britain “to allow topless sunbathing”.

It quotes Bill Oddie as supposedly saying: “Porthemmet and its surroundings are one of last remaining natural treasures of the British Isles.”

But its name gives the game away to locals as “emmet” is a derogatory word for tourist in Cornwall.

The site tells unwitting visitors an emmet is someone who loves Cornwall and says if they tell residents they are emmets they will fit in fine.

And it says: “There is a private joke in Cornwall where locals will pretend not to know where Porthemmet beach is. Don’t be fooled.”

And it urges visitors to try to “talk the talk” by adding “me luvver” or “me ‘ansom” to the end of phrases when talking to locals.

The hoax was created by Cambridge graduate Jonty Haywood, from Truro, Cornwall, who said: “Sending tourists to find an imaginary beach is funny. It’ll be funnier once lots of Cornish people know about it.”

Social networking site Facebook has 2,000 people signed up for a group about the beach.

One user attacked the hoax, posting: “I’ve never seen anyone hate the hand that feeds it like Cornwall does. They are happy to have the tourists visit but mock them for not fitting in.”

But Malcolm Bell of South West Tourism said of the website: “I’m sure people will see the West Country humour.”

Brazil Makes Extra Power for Soap Opera!

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

By STAN LEHMAN

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - Brazil’s national electricity grid is laying on extra energy to avoid a nationwide blackout Friday when the final chapter of the hit soap opera “Tropical Paradise” airs, officials said Thursday.

TV Globo expects that 90 percent of television viewers in the country of 186 million people will tune in for the final chapter to learn who murdered the scheming villain Tais and to find out if Bebel, the Pygmalion-like prostitute, will live happily ever after.

“We are worried about a possible blackout caused by a sudden surge in electricity at the end of the program,” said a spokesman for the electricity company, who spoke on condition he not be named, in accordance with department policy.

“When it is all over, millions of people will get up from their armchairs and sofas to turn on the lights of their living rooms, open the refrigerator for a cold beer or heat a meal in the microwave oven,” he said.

He said extra generating capacity is customarily geared up for during soccer games and other programs that attract large audiences.

Prime-time soap operas known are telenovelas, with average runs of 200 episodes, are hugely popular in Brazil. Their plot lines often become front-page news and the heroes and villains are major topics of conversation.

China Bans Bra, Underwear, Sex Toy Ads!

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

BEIJING (AP) - China has banned television and radio ads for push-up bras, figure-enhancing underwear and sex toys in the communist government’s latest move to purge the nation’s airwaves of what it calls social pollution.

Regulators have already targeted ads using crude or suggestive language, behavior, and images, tightening their grip on television and radio a few weeks ahead of a twice-a-decade Communist Party congress at which some new senior leaders will be appointed.

The latest move by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, or SARFT, also bans advertisements for sexual aids such as tonics that claim to boost performance in bed.

The notice indicated that regulators were concerned about both lascivious imagery and outrageous or insupportable claims about some products’ benefits or effectiveness.

“Illegal ’sexual medication’ advertisements and other harmful ads pose a grave threat to society,” said the SARFT notice, issued in the past week and posted on the administration’s Web site.

“They not only seriously mislead consumers, harm the people’s health, pollute the social environment, and corrupt social mores, but also directly harm the credibility of public broadcasting and affect the image of the Communist Party and the government,” the notice said.

China has already also issued strict rules for TV talent shows, including the banning of “American Idol”-style mass audience voting by mobile phone text message or the Internet.

A few weeks ago, SARFT ordered 11 radio shows off the air in southern and central China for talking too explicitly about sex or for broadcasting material of an “extreme pornographic nature.”

Regulators have also banned television shows about cosmetic surgery and sex changes, and a talent show that they deemed coarse.

Women strip in bid for power!

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

Women from a new Polish political party have stripped off in a controversial election poster campaign.

Seven candidates from the Polish Women’s Party are featured posing behind a billboard that reads: “The party of women. Poland is a woman.”

The poster is making waves in staunchly Catholic Poland, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Writer Manuela Gretkowska, who founded the party, said Poland’s political scene was run by men for men.

“This poster is intended to shatter stereotypes in the anachronistic world of politics, which is more often dominated by uncommunicative men with their black tie outfits,” she said.

“We are beautiful, nude, proud. We are true and sincere, body and soul. This is not pornography, there is nothing to see in terms of sex, our faces are intelligent, concerned, proud.

“We do not have our mouths open nor our eyes closed.”

So far, polls show the party will fail to cross the five per cent voting threshold required to enter parliament on the October 21st election.

But support is growing, and Ms Gretkowska hopes that the backing of some of Poland’s most famous women could help push it over the line and into parliament.

Sheriff’s Badge, Vest Found During Arrest Of Drug Suspect!

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

The suspect, Ricky Walker, was booked into the Orange County jail on drug and gun charges, but Seminole County authorities believe he’s also the man who stole sensitive items like a badge and a vest from one of their own investigators.

Dressed in yellow and black and nothing unusual, deputies said 21-year-old Ricky Walker may have had what he needed to look like a cop. When authorities came to his house in Orlando with a search warrant for drugs and guns, they also found a stash of gear from Seminole County, including bullets, a police radio, a sheriff’s badge and a bulletproof vest with “SHERIFF” written on the front and back.

Seminole County said the items were recently stolen from an investigator’s unmarked car parked at his apartment complex. The sheriff’s office said the investigator didn’t do anything wrong. He locked his car, but when he came back someone had broken in through the top of a door.Authorities didn’t alert the public about the missing badge and other items until they were found almost a week later.

“Wouldn’t there be some legitimate public safety concern that these are in the hands of somebody who shouldn’t have them?” questioned Eyewitness News reporter Eric Rasmussen.

“There is always a legitimate public safety concern. We’re dealing with people who are felons now in possession of sheriff’s property,” said Lt. Dennis Lemma, Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

But investigators said they had good leads to follow and didn’t want to tip off their suspect. Still, the sheriff’s office said the case serves as a good warning for everyone.

“Just because someone has a badge, always question that if there is any suspicion,” Lt. Lemma said.

Authorities said Walker was already on home confinement when he was arrested, so he could be held with no bond. Charges in Seminole County are still pending.

Investigators in Orange County are still looking for another man who may have been associated with Walker. Authorities said 22-year-old Todd Allen Moore is wanted on several charges, including aggravated battery and armed burglary.

Toilet paper thief on the loose!

Funny News, Weird News September 30th, 2007

FOND DU LAC, Wis. - Someone is either too cheap to buy his own toilet paper or planning a big prank.Fond du Lac County Executive Allen Buechel said someone has been repeatedly stealing toilet paper from the men’s public bathrooms at the Fond du Lac City County Government Center since June.

Buechel suspects the person comes in once or twice a week around midday and gets about six rolls a week from dispensers. Some rolls weren’t even full, he said.

The thefts haven’t been a big loss.

“We don’t buy the best toilet paper,” Buechel said.

He expects the thief to get caught. “Someone is going to walk in on him when he’s doing it and we’ll catch him,” he said.

Courthouse officials are on the lookout for suspicious activity.

County sheriff Capt. Dean Will didn’t return a call for comment Friday.
