How many times do I have to tell you?! NO CELL PHONES



Jubail, Saudi Arabia - An unnamed 13-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 90 lashes after she was caught in a heinous crime. Saudi officials say the teen was caught bringing a camera phone to school.

Saudi officials say the teen assaulted her teacher after she was caught with the camera, which is routinely banned from all girls' schools. Officials say the flogging will proceed in public while her classmates look on. The flogging will then be followed with two months detention.

Human rights groups criticized the decision, pointing out the punishment is harsher than is regularly handed out to robbers and looters. Under Saudi Arabia's Sharia Law, flogging is deemed a mandatory punishment for a number of moral transgressions such as adultery, dating or even being alone with a member of the opposite who is not related. Flogging may also be used, however, for a variety of other violations of Sharia law at the Judge's discretion.

No Pants Subway Ride - 9th Annual

I remember doing pants down shotguns of BL's back in highschool. Never once did I think about pants down or rather no pants subway rides.

New York, NY - If you happened to have been on a subway in New York last Sunday, you might have noticed something slightly different. Hundreds of New Yorkers braving the cold to ride the city's various subway trains minus their pants.

It was the ninth annual No Pants Subway Ride. Most of you probably missed it, but if you didn't or if you saw this in person please comment.

Reportedly, participants met at six locations across New York City, where they set out to travel the city's subway system - stripped down to their undies. Once the crowds boarded their subway of choice, they promptly removed their pants for the endurance of the ride. Many of them reading magazines or chatting with friends as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

The event was organized by Improv Everywhere. A group who's mission statement promises to "cause scenes of chaos and joy in public places." http://improveverywhere.com/

The organization's creator, Charlie Todd, began "pranking" in August, 2001. Now the organization claims to have completed 80 like-spirited missions in all.

Other group events include the "Human Mirror" - where identical twins board subways and mimic each other's actions to see how long it takes before subway riders notice. And we don't mean just one set of twins.

Another event, "Frozen Grand Central", sends a large group of participants into New York's Grand Central Station who act normally until a chosen moment when they all freeze in suspended animation.

"Best Buy", another organized mission of Improv sends a large group of participants dressed in blue polos and tan khakis into chosen Best Buy retail stores. Since participants are dressed in the basic Best Buy uniform, they are all too happy to offer friendly help or advice to shoppers who mistake them as store employees. That is until they're asked to leave.

Puzzled looks, smiles, giggles and an occasional look disbelief seem to be the general reaction to these staged "missions".....and that's good, considering the enormous numbers of people who participate in the edgy antics they try.

For those who are put off by such utter foolishness and unabashed pantslessness (a new word, we're sure), you might beware. The No Pants! prank is growing - extending well beyond New york into Atlanta, Los Angeles and other big cities.

All in all, it seems like good bottomless fun, so long as those skivvies are clean!

Avatar...making people suicidal

CNN says today that the 3D effects in ‘Avatar’ are so intense that some people go home depressed and even suicidal, because they would rather be living in the world from the movie, on Pandora with the 10-foot cats.

On the fan forum site “Avatar Forums,” a topic thread entitled “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible,” has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope.

Some highlights…

- “Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it. I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ ”

- “When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed … gray. It was like my whole life, everything I’ve done and worked for, lost its meaning. It just seems so … meaningless. I still don’t really see any reason to keep … doing things at all. I live in a dying world.”

- “It’s so hard I can’t force myself to think that it’s just a movie, and to get over it, that living like the Na’vi will never happen.”


Does this remind you of how you feel after watching porn?
