Only In America

-- from Gizmodo.com.au

Ashley Agerenza is a Floridian mum with a desperate need for a spray on tan.

So desperate in fact that she tried to take her seven-month-old baby into Extreme Tan and Smoothies (real place) with her, only to find that infants weren’t welcome.

So she did what any desperately pale mother would do:

1. locked that baby in the car by herself with the engine running
2. attacked the cop who tried to arrest her for negligence
3. took two Taser blasts for her trouble

Sadly the article doesn't confirm if her tan looked great while convulsing on the carpark pavement.

Where Are You Judy?

I don't normally post about current articles in the papers but just can't help myself this time. Check out this 'story':

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/off-duty-cop-charged-with-assaulting-girl-17/story-e6frg13u-1226006195167

Granted its PerthNow so you need to allow for the added level of unnecessary horror and scare-mongering. I mean, who can forget the gripping article on the fact that its going to be hot this summer - save yourself!

Assuming you've now read the article, it begs a small WTF. I realise that no one may know exactly what happened but you've got the word of a 37 yo Pilbara cop vs a 17 yo who hit the ground hurting her THUMB! yes thumb.

The cop is facing charges of aggravated assault and has been temporarily stood down from duty. Holy hell, what do real assaults get? What if he had have I dunno - ACTUALLY HURT HER. So now we've lost a pilbara cop until the trial and, while his name isn't published, all the boys in khaki will know who it is and his reputation is shot forever.

Can we not enlist a 'Judge Judy' level of government that looks at these cases and stares blankly at the prosecuter before shouting "Get the f$%k outa my office!"

Birds Too Angry?

If you have an iPhone, iPad, iTouch or Android, chances are you own the Angry Birds application.

They have released regular updates for it steadily for around a year but mid October they discovered a way to make a few extra $$. Release a new app!

Angry Birds Seasons graced the apple store and was snavvled faster than a donut in the Biggest Loser mansion. Now every Halloween, Christmas etc we can expect a themed update for that holiday but what now?

This week, the original AND seasons were updated in successive days so I'm torn. Which one do I focus my commuting time on? Original or Valentines (yes Valentines, sigh)

I'm not alone, the angry bird nerds around me have also played a bit of both so basically haven't gotten anywhere on either! No one has completed them, seen the golden egg levels or walked proudly around the office sporting a huge smile and proof that they can waste their time too. : )

So I'll put it out there? Completed it yet?

Weekly WTF - Streeflyer

Ok, its kinda cool and a small part of me wants to have a go but seriously WTF.

Does the world really need a 1.5m wide suspension tricycle?

Is there a reason some of the creative minds of the world are focussed on this useless crap?
