Buses & Convicts

Soft porn for bus passengers
Bus passengers in Sofia are being shown soft porn films on giant video screens at night.
During the day the plasma screens in the Bulgarian capital show bus times, but the night shift now has the porn films on view.
A spokesman for the station management said: "We wanted to give the passengers something to take their minds off the cold and to pass the time while waiting for a bus, and there are unlikely to be children around that time of night."
The move however has angered many, including mothers with young children, who say the movies are a disgrace.
They also claim the security guards have stopped patrolling for troublemakers, and spend their time watching the giant screens instead.

Prison turns away escaped convict
An escaped convict tried to give himself up - but was turned away from prison because he had no identity card.
Hakim Ghazouani, 24, had escaped from prison in Ghent, after a visit to the doctor last month.
Police issued national warnings about Ghazouani who was in jail for robbery and drug dealing.
His solicitor, Nathalie Buisseret, persuaded him to turn himself in and accompanied him to a prison at Verviers.
But she said: "There we found he was denied access because he couldn't show his identity card. The warden told the man to come back later with his papers, which he did."
Verviers Prison director Pierre Detilloux said: "We never had seen the man before and we couldn't identify him. It would have been a scandal if we locked up the wrong person."

This Story Pisses Me Off!!!
February 4th 2007 09:13
This was a story that appears to be getting the quickly buried treatment in the TV & Cable networks as well as print newspapers.
Four of nine black teenagers convicted in the racially charged beating of three white women on Halloween were sentenced to probation Friday.
Punishment could have ranged up to confinement in a California Youth Authority lockup until age 25. The teens were ordered to serve 250 hours of community service, 60 days house arrest, and take anger management and racial tolerance programs.
"It was an awful crime. Terrible, emotional and physical injuries," Juvenile Court Judge Gibson Lee said.
Last week, Lee convicted nine teens — eight female and one male — of felony assault, with a hate-crime enhancement against all but one.
Among those sentenced Friday were an 18-year-old youth, his twin sister, their 16-year-old sister — who didn't receive the hate-crime enhancement — and another 16-year-old girl.
The other five defendants face sentencing next week. Names of the defendants were withheld because they are juveniles or were juveniles at the time and were tried as juveniles.
The 18-year-old male teenager had pleaded with the judge, saying he was innocent and tried to help the victims, including taking a skateboard away from an assailant who was using it as a weapon.
"What will my life be like? I'm 18 and convicted of a hate crime," he said.
The victims were in an affluent area of Long Beach that draws crowds with fancy Halloween displays when a crowd of black youths yelled racial insults and one shouted "I hate whites," according to prosecutors.
One victim testified the trio was pelted with small pumpkins and lemons. A witness testified two of the women were beaten with skateboards.
Prosecutors said the beating only ended when a black motorist stopped, pulled the assailants away and shielded the women with his body.
"I'm not sure if all the emotional scars will ever completely vanish," 21-year-old Loren Hyman, one of the victims, said earlier in a victim impact statement. "I feel like the beating I endured on Halloween night is still not over."
Two 15-year-old boys face trial later on charges of felony assault with the hate-crime enhancement.
Long Beach, 22 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, is a major U.S. cargo port with a racially diverse population of 475,000 and neighborhoods ranging from high-end shoreline condos to low-income urban areas.

Because of recent government campaigns to protect wildlife, snake charmers in India's Rajasthan state are increasingly unable to work with live snakes but nonetheless hope to continue earning tourists' money by performing the same rituals, except without snakes.

After a long day hunting, there's nothing like wrapping your paw around a cold bottle of beer. So Terrie Berenden, a pet shop owner in the southern Dutch town of Zelhem, created a beer for her Weimaraners made from beef extract and malt.
"Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," she said.

Animal Cruelty
January 16th 2007 05:30
Hey, well as you guessed from the title this is my little rant against cruelty to animals. I mean how fucking sad is it to see animals basically being tortured? This isn't about how people abandon their pets or don't care for them. I mean that's cruel too. What I want to say is why the hell can't people use faux fur instead of real fur?!
As you all probably know, Jennifer Lopez is a major star/singer. But she uses real animal fur, from wolves to raccoons, without a care that they are skinned. Alive. Yes they are fucking skinned alive. They are hung by their tails and then a person starts to carve their fur off.
