Judge Gets His Pants Pulled Down

Last month I reported about the ongoing lawsuit of USD$54 million against a Korean dry-cleaning operation for losing his pants. This month, the Koreans finally bucked the lawsuit: they don't have to pay a dime.

The aggrieved tort judge who represented himself is planning to file an appeal. Word is he's plan to readust his strategy and accuse the "found" pants of being counterfeit.

Alcoholic Rats in India a Public Nuisance

Bootlegging in India has given rise to a strange new phenomenon: rodent alcoholism. But as rats attack illegal storehouses of whiskey throughout the nation, police are getting fed up.

See, it'd be fine if these rats were quiet drunks. But they're not. They get belligerent, and they swagger into confrontation with humans, first sign of a scotch noobe if you ask me!

Chinese College Kid Seeks Rental Girlfriend

The Lunar New Year is big in China. It's when families and friends get together and you want to show off wealth, success and, of course, heterosexual tendencies. That's why this boy rented a girlfriend so that his parents are assured he's alright.

He had to leave a cock-ring as collateral, but it was totally worth it, he says.

Holy Smut!

Rape, incest and God. The reviews are in and the Bible, it appears, may be on it's way out. In Hong Kong at least. That's where many city residents have been calling for the Good, but also Gory-and-Smutty Book to be labeled as indecent, so that it's distribution to young folk is limited.

Japanese Magicians Sue after Tricks Revealed on Television

Proprietary trade secrets -- such as pulling a rabbit out of a hat, guessing the the card you picked out of the deck, and making a coin appear from the ear of a brave young volunteer from the crowd -- have been callously revealed on Asian TV, just to bump ratings and turn a buck, while potentially sending hundreds of Japanese magicians into financial ruin, magicians so powerful that they depend on these trade secrets to sustain themselves.

The not-so-magic class action lawsuit seeks a whopping...$16,000? To be divided among 49 magicians? Quite a value theyr'e placing on those killer tricks of the trade. Good luck guys!

Thai King to Sue Google after Banning Youtube

In Thailand it is illegal to insult the King. That's why a derogatory clip on YouTube caused the whole service to be banned in Thailand, at the behest of the King and carried out by the recently installed Military Regime. Thailand knows they don't have the market clout like China, who can pull more more strings at Google. So Thailand is seeking to sue in International Court as early as this Friday. Good luck guys!
