These are an interesting selection of articles/ads that I have found in the various newspapers delivered to the office. I find most of them amusing and find hard to believe that they are actually news.

The picture below is cut from the NYDaily News, which is quite untrustworthy to me. I went online to validate the site and I found these two articles: (BTW< they're both kind of disturbing. Don't read while eating.
1) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2010/07/09/2010-07-09_exlover_eliza_samudio_of_brazil_soccer_star_bruno_fernandes_das_dores_de_souza_k.html
2) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/06/11/2010-06-11_nebraskan_man_strangled_to_death_by_constrictor_in_states_first_record_of_fatali.html?obref=obinsite

You got to wonder....

So this jem of a photo reads: "PEN MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD? DON"T TELL THAT TO TAIWAN POLITICIANS" The caption reads: Lawmakers in Taiwan shove and punch each other in Taiwan's legislature yesterday after speaker rejected opposition bid on debate for contentious trade pact."


But this is nothing compared to the lawmakers in Ukraine during the ratification of the Black Sea Fleet deal with Russia. People had eggs and smoke bombs! Now that is klassy with a K.
The photos were titled: LAWMAKERS BRAWL IN UKRAINE PARLIAMENT

This dude just implicated himself. Look at the smoke bomb in his hand.




Ohhh look at that! an egg right in the face. BAM! his day is ruined. Btw, the security detail is protecting parliament speaker Volodymr Lytvyn from the eggs. I bet protection from flying eggs wasn't in the job description!




Look at those guys in the back just looking. I bet they're making bets to see who will win.









I also feel like afterwards, they all should have been put in time-out.
My question is how they managed to sneak the eggs and smoke bombs with them into the Parliament. Just imagine: *security officer is checking a member in. "Hey, how are you doing today, mr. Member? And whats with all those eggs in your bag? Making an omelet in the office today?*

The next two articles just make me wonder too: first of all, it's a horrible pun on red-handed. Dead-handed, really? Someone must have been low on caffine and creativity when they thought up that title. Secondly, there is a typo. I didn't know that the DA uses icanhazcheezeburger speech. Sez is slang.




This one is from the Weekly Standard. It reads: "GETTING SQUEEZED BY OBAMA POLICIES? SQUEEZE BACK! WIth our soft, mushy Obama Stress Head, you can crush those half-baked liberal ideas before they do anymore damage."
That just made my day when I saw it.
