It’s that time of week again. It’s time to look at the weirdest and wackiest stories from the last seven days. It’s time for the Not News of the Week.
The Beatles famously sang that all you need is love. Well, a British couple have found that all you really need is porn. In order to fund a beachfront wedding in Cancun, Mexico, a British couple has made three porn films and are planning to make four more. Among the things the couple have done are dripping hot wax on each other, paddling, and a threesome. Apparently, their family and friends are very understanding of what they’re doing. I wonder if their four kids will feel the same way when they come across their parents on the internet.
Somehow, it’s always news when someone changes their name to something ridiculous like the guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime. A man in Britain who eats potato chips for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is changing his name in honour of his favourite brand. The man formerly known as Chris Hunt is now known as Monster Munch. The man now insists upon being called “Monster” or “Mr. Munch.” And he’s not worried that his three times a day habit would make him overweight. He runs 35 miles a week and goes to the gym three times a week.
A friendly reminder this Christmas season: If you’re asked to donate to goodwill, make sure you don’t start handing over stuff and look at it first. A goodwill store in Ohio couldn’t accept a two-gallon metal water jug after they $1,500 worth of marijuana inside. Fortunately for the idiot that donate the jug and pot, he made the donation anonymously so police don’t know who it belongs to. However, the local police captain is asking the donor to step forward to claim his jug so it can be returned. See, the captain hasn’t said anything about the marijuana so he must be okay with giving it back.
It’s not often that an important broadcasting story makes it into the Not News but I’m making an exception today. FIFA announced that up to 25 games at the 2010 World Cup will be filmed using 3D cameras. That would be good news for fans if it wasn’t for how FIFA is going to go about this. 3D capable TVs and stations broadcasting in 3D are almost non-existent so the games will only be available in specially equipped movie theatres. Given the worldwide popularity of the World Cup, the games will be shown in an astonishing seven cities though it’s possible that the games won’t be shown live. I would make some comment about FIFA dropping the ball but they’re far better off letting Thierry Henry do that.
While the debate endlessly rages on women trying to break into men’s sports leagues, a high school girl showed the boys a thing or two. A fight broke out at a high school hockey game and the only girl on the ice was right at the heart of it. Two boys on the other team took her down in front of the net which sparked a full line brawl. She wasn’t going to run away though. In the middle of the massive brouhaha, she was raining hammer fists down on one of the boys that took her down. We’ve even got the video evidence to prove it.
