    I, for one, welcome our Chinese fox army overlords

    Authorities in China's far west have bred and trained "an army" of silver foxes bought from a fur farm to fight a plague of rats threatening a huge expanse of grasslands, state media said on Wednesday.

    The Xinjiang government bought 20 foxes in 2004 and they have since increased to 284 and been released into the wild, the official Xinhua news agency said.

    "Foxes are excellent natural predators of the rodent. One fox can catch about 20 rats per day. There has been a decline in the rat population in several counties where the measure has been adopted," it quoted official Ni Yifei as saying.

    Not sure if it's weird but it sure is funny.

    Has anyone seen my pussy?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust has incurred the wrath of the Sun by spunking £7,500 on a "special room" kitted out to help chaps deliver vital supplies of man oysters. The trust's fertility centre shared the cost of "computer equipment worth £4,625, flat screen TVs costing £2,225 - plus £500 of blue movies"

    I was amused because it's funny, not because it's real. If it was real, the reality of a man who annoys everyone around him constantly would be sad.

    Though, that does mean it's not really news.

    In offering to the dieties of the NoTW thread for my sins, here's some NoTW via the Wall Street Journal:
    Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate
    This correction, published yesterday in the Daily Star of Manchester, England, is so good it's worth quoting in full:


    On 21 July we published an article claiming that the video games company Rockstar Games were planning to release a version of their popular Grand Theft Auto video games series titled "Grand Theft Auto Rothbury."

    We also published what we claimed would be the cover of this game, solicited comments from a family member impacted by the recent tragedy and criticised Rockstar Games for their alleged plans.

    We made no attempt to check the accuracy of the story before publication and did not contact Rockstar Games prior to publishing the story. We also did not question why a best selling and critically acclaimed fictional games series would choose to base one of their most popular games on this horrifying real crime event.

    It is now accepted that there were never any plans by Rockstar Games to publish such a game and that the story was false. We apologise for publishing the story using a mock-up of the game cover, our own comments on the matter and soliciting critical comments from a grieving family member.

    We unreservedly apologise to Rockstar Games and we have undertaken not to repeat the claims again. We have also agreed to pay them a substantial amount in damages which they are donating to charity.

    Basil Marceaux is not only running for governor, but also senator of Tennessee. To top it off, his son, Basil Marceaux Jr. is running for a spot in the Tennessee state house of representatives. Are these the descendants of the illustrious Emperor norton? Long live the Marceaux Dynasty!

    Meet the Bodybuilding Neo-Nazi Porn Star Who Embalms Dead People



    The internet is full of strange people. Corinna Burt may be the strangest. The prominent white supremacist is an undertaker, bodybuilder, and former torture porn star. By phone, she discussed her unusual life and how racism "saved her" from porn.

    Corinna Luray Burt is "the most prominent National Socialist Movement organizer in the Pacific Northwest," according to a watchdog group that monitors the activities of the neo-Nazi organization. [...]

    Corinna says white pride inspired her to quit porn. "If we consider ourselves a master race then we have to act like a master race, not degenerates," she says. "I credit my involvement with the NSM and my awakening racial consciousness as what got me out of the porn industry for good. I have no desire to return, though I admit 'Nazi Girls Gone Wild' has a nice ring to it."
