Where I live, they are paranoid about speed and spend a lot of time trying to brainwash people into thinking that it is the cause of all road deaths.

Conveniently they also generate massive revenues per year from speed cameras. $700M or so just in my state. You can get fined around $150 for being 1.875mph over the limit. Seriously.

Below is what is envizaged as the ultimate solution for speeders – a radar speed camera with an in-built belt-fed machine gun. When it detects you speeding, it simply blows you to pieces.

I have no doubt they will evaluate it and look at implementing it….as soon as they can work out a way to take your money before you are killed…

Must say it makes me cringe.

Horrible Housemates is a new blog that gives us an insight into what its like to share a house with people who probably should live alone in the wilderness.

It reminds me why I never want to share a house again!

Longtime weatherman Chris Allen was reprimanded recently for “acting in a juvenile and unprofessional manner”, Vice President Rick McCue of WBKO-TV in Kentucky said.

A video of Allen has recently hit the internet, showing him clowning around in front of a background picture of a woman and her breast (see picture above), with the title “Breast Milk Donors”.

The tape was recoded some years ago, but stolen by an employee and posted to the internet.

In the video, a grinning Allen is seen to lick the nipple and squeeze the breast while making honking noises, whistling and laughing.

The statement made by the station included the following apology from Allen:

“This video – which was never intended to be seen outside of the station – was part of a joke that was played on me during a lighter moment off the air several years ago. I regret that a former employee has decided it is something that everyone should see and took the liberty of posting it on the internet,” Allen said. “I am embarrassed by the whole ordeal and humbly apologise for anyone offended by my actions.”

The video has subsequently been removed from YouTube and Google Video as the station considers the tape to be copyright.

The net is full of good ideas, and another interesting idea in the same vein as Million Dollar Wiki and Million Dollar Homepage is the new Blogging The Movie.

With only 500 spaces available at just $100 each, its bound to sell out fast once word gets around.

Prija has some lofty goals that he hopes bloggers will help him achieve:

1) Raise $50,000 to fund the concept.
2) Buy 2 cars which he will cover with the domain names of the lucky 500 sponsors.
3) Give one car to his little sister who will drive it around California whilst she attends college.
4) Film the whole process from start to scratch.
5) Do a photo shoot with himself and the other car.
6) Start a contest to give the second car away free.
7) Publicise the whole event in the media
Select 10 bloggers, and fly around the world to meet them and experience a few days in the life of each blogger.
9) Produce the movie
10) Submit the movie to various film festivals
11) Put the film on DVD.

At the time of writing, the top 9 positions are taken, leaving only 491 left which is nothing in the scheme of things.

So whats in it for the sponsors?

a) Publicity for their website via the two cars (covered in site ads) being driven about and the story published in the media.
b) Two 200+ word reviews of their website
c) A permanent link and tag on http://www.bloggingthemovie.com/car/
d) The first 20 sponsors will receive a link in the Featured Site section at http://www.bloggingthemovie.com/ and http://www.bloggingthemovie.com/car/ for the rest of 2007.

Its a very interesting concept, and quite possibly one that may pay off in spades for sponsors. Its unique enough that the media may just pick up on the story.

Best of all, if all 500 sponsorship spaces are not sold a full refund will be forthcoming on 1 September 2008, leaving early sponsors with some great potential PR for their websites between now and then: and the sponsors will still receive their two free 200 word reviews and a permanent link on the site.

Best of all if you move fast, at the time of writing, there are still 11 places left in the top 20 – meaning you get even better value for money as you are a Featured Site for the rest of 2007.

What a great idea!

Oh you just have to love the balls this driver has – the cops must LOVE pulling him over.

There is no denying it….this guy has some serious artistic talent….

Julian Beever is an English artist who’s famous for his art on the pavements of
various countries including USA , France, Germany, England, Australia and Belgium.

Beever gives his drawings an amazing 3D illusion. They just have to be seen to be believed…

Hard to believe its 2 dimensional and on the same plane as his hand is. But wait until you see the rest….

The obvious answer to the question of how to fill that empty space in your office…

Zhang Cheng, a Chinese business man has just purchased a MiG 21-f (from Ebay of course!), and plans to use it to decorate an empty space at his office.
