It must be Friday
In Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, Fired Workers Attack Boss With Spears. I wonder what it says in the manager's manual about employees that bring spears to work? Do you think they have a spear rack for employee use?

Back in the civilized UK, Topless darts make TV comeback:

Topless darts, News Bunny and the Weather in Norwegian will be back on cable television later this summer as LIVE TV makes a comeback.
...
LIVE TV was launched in 1995 by journalist and broadcaster Janet Street-Porter, who envisaged it as "Hello! magazine on acid", and by Kelvin MacKenzie, former editor of The Sun newspaper.

It lured viewers with broadcasts of women's topless darts contests and a woman called Tiffany, who stripped on air while giving tips about which shares to buy on the stock market.

News Bunny was a man dressed in a rabbit outfit who loitered behind the channel's news desk and gave a thumbs-up or thumbs-down reaction to each news item.

Despite much early publicity, the channel never managed to retain viewers and it eventually shut down in 1999.

I can't see why.

Then I was astounded to read that Britney's Breasts Throb. No, not the real teen idol. The throbbing objects in question are at Madame Tussaud's wax museum:

The pump-up breasts are being fixed to the star's waxwork model at Madame Tussauds in London.

Bosses want to make the £52,000 model more realistic.

So they are hoisting it up and around a dancing pole.

Her breasts will then hang provocatively out of a skimpy top, inflating rhythmically to make it look like the singer is breathing heavily.

"For the first time we are installing balloons in her chest so her boobs heave in and out," a spokesman told The Sun.

Britney will be the centrepeice of the museum's new £2m interactive room.

It will also feature a blushing J-Lo and a Brad Pitt with a squeezable bum.

Nothing like a touch of class to draw the fans, but can J-Lo actually blush?

Then in the USA, there's Sacramento City Councilwoman Lauren Hammond who opined:

I don't doubt that Jim Sweeney loves children and had dedicated his life's career to improving education," she said. "The school district has done some wonderful things ... but (on state tests) half the students are still below the 50th percentile. That's a problem."

We can guess what end of the curve Lauren is on. Her previous hijinks involved much whining about the word "niggardly" and absolutely do not "call a spade a spade" anywhere in her vicinity.
