2009’s funniest news story
by Steve on Apr.15, 2009, under Lulz, News
This delightful report comes from Russia. I’m still in fits of laughter from it.
A young hairdresser in Kaluga, Central Russia, locked a robber who tried to steal her money in the basement of the beauty salon. After that, she has brutally raped her hostage for three days. A court in Kaluga has filed criminal charges against both of them, the Russian website Newsru.com reports.
The robber, who has not been named, burst into the salon armed with shotgun at about 17.00 on March 14. He demanded money. There were two hairdressers and one client in the salon at the time. One of hairdressers, who was studying judo and taekwondo, disabled the robber with a smashing body blow. Then she carried the unlucky robber to the basement and bound him with a hairdryer cord.
The hairdresser told her scared colleague and the client that she would call the police. But she did not. After work, instead of calling the police, she made her hostage undress. The perverted hairdresser forced the hostage to take several Viagra tablets. She chained the unfortunate robber with pink furry wristbands and painfully raped him for the next three days.
After his release, the exhausted robber filed charges against the perverted woman. The frenulum of his penis was torn as a consequence of rape session.
“That’s ridiculous. We had sex just a couple times. I brought him brand new jeans. I fed him every day and gave him one thousand rubles ($25) before his release,” the hairdresser said.
Talk about karma! Its like the bring out the gimp scene from pulp fiction, but with a twentysomething martial arts expert hairdresser
Will the government fall?

All this evening’s radio news shows and the RTE Six-one news are talking about how one of the Fianna Fail backbenchers has quit the party over the over 70’s medical card fiasco. Now a few other TDs are sticking their oar in and the greens are making noises about putting an ultimatum to their coalition “partners”, i.e. reverse the decision on the medical cards or they walk.
I would love to see the current shower in government take a fall, but there’s a small part of me that would also be sad to see it, because whoever takes over from them is going to inherit their shitstorm. It would be nice to see them take some punishment for their utter mismanagement of the country.

Privacy counts for nothing in America

I don’t hate America or anything but some pretty stupid things come out of court cases there. Such as this.
Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled.
wtf?
