Not News of the Week

If it’s not worth talking about, then it must be the Not News of the Week.

A Scottish man was fined £600 for assaulting a police officer. Police were called to hid home because he was very, very drunk. When police got there, the man dropped his pants, whipped out his penis and thrust it in the face of a policewoman. According to the police report, she ducked out of the way of the flailing penis just before it hit her. How they got into a position where the man could almost hit the officer in the face with his penis, no one will ever know. However, the guy must be disappointed. His reputation could have gotten a huge boost from a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

Another week, another dose of all the news that’s not fit for print. It’s the Not News of the Week.

There are lots of ways to piss off your dealer but making him look like an idiot is probably the worst way of doing it. A man in Wichita, Kansas, bought a couple hundred dollars worth of cocaine from his dealer with Monopoly money. It took the dealer a couple of weeks to realize that he had been duped in the worst possible way. The dealer invited his client over and his posse laid a beatdown. The man got away but ran into the cops to whom he told his story. Now, it looks like everyone involved in this escapade will be arrested because the police say that the unusual circumstances doesn’t make it a get out of jail free card. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

It’s time for a special treat for your Monday. It’s all the weirdest and wackiest stories from around the world. It’s the Not News of the Week.

Eat your heart out James Bond. A highly trained group of thieves in New Jersey were able to break into a Best Buy and make off with 20 Apple laptops without setting off an alarm. They climbed to the roof of the store using a 3-inch wide pipe that ran from the ground to the roof. Once there, they cut a hole in the roof in a part of the store that was obscured from security camera view. They lowered themselves down on ropes without touching the ground because that would have set off the alarm. Then, they made their way back up with the computers and left without anyone noticing until employees came in the next morning. Next stop: Hollywood… To steal any scripts that George Lucas may be working on for Indiana Jones 5. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

A friendly reminder from your pals at The Lowdown: If it’s not worth talking about, then it’s definitely the Not News of the Week.

There is often a debate over who breast implants are really for but a recent incident should clear things up. A woman working at a dentist’s office was shot by a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle but came away no worse for wear. That’s because the bullet was stopped by her size-D silicone implant. The woman, who incidentally is a mother of three and grandmother of two, had her implants upsized from Bs to Ds a couple of years ago. Police believe that if she didn’t have the implants, she would have been killed. So when a woman says that she got the implants for herself, now you can’t dismiss it right away. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

It’s time again for all the news that’s not fit for print. It’s the Not News of the Week.

A woman in Chicago has filed a $50,000 lawsuit against a Chucky Cheese restaurant after being hit in the head but a two-ounce air hockey puck. In her court papers, the woman says that Chucky Cheese failed to warn her of the dangers of sitting at a table near the air hockey table, failed to provide adequate protection from the dangers of air hockey, and failed to control the patrons at the air hockey table. At first, I thought that this was a laughable lawsuit but there might be merit to it. If she actually thinks she can win this lawsuit, clearly she suffered some brain damage. Continue reading →

No matter how your Valentine’s Day went, it had to have been better than this guy. A Bentley University student was sent to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after a threesome gone wrong. The man was trying to arrange a threesome with two (less-than-attractive) women and was willing to pay to make it happen. However, there was a disagreement over money to be exchanged so the women attacked the man and took his money without rendering any services. In terms of hookup failures, I’d have to say that this is probably the worst case scenario. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

A day late and a dollar short but it’s still the weirdest and wackiest stories from around the world. It’s the Not News of the Week.

Let’s lead off with the “Only in America” story of the week. A middle school student in New York City was led out of class in handcuffs after drawing on a desk with a marker. She wrote “Lex was here 2/1/10” and “I love my friends Abby and Faith.” That was enough to earn the 12-year-old girl a several hour trip to a police station complete with a ride in a squad car. The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last month over at least 20 similar arrests by school safety officers. Despite the ridiculous nature of the arrest, the girl will have to complete eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay on what she learned from this experience. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

A reminder for your Monday: If it’s not worth talking about, then it’s definitely the Not News of the Week.

The first rule of fight club: Don’t talk about fight club. Second rule of fight club: Don’t get caught. Well, I don’t think that rule was in the movie but the University of Manitoba’s fight club should have adopted it. Five students were banned from the U of M’s gym facilities after they were discovered organizing bare knuckle fights in the gym’s squash courts. They were snitched on by a gym member who saw someone with a bloody nose leaving the squash courts. That person informed gym staff who then found a Facebook group setup to promote the fight club. Well, I guess they didn’t quite talk about fight club but they sure didn’t keep it secret. Continue reading →

Life lesson: Caveat emptor applies to literally everything. A man in New Hampshire learned this the hard way when he complained to police about a deal gone sour with a prostitute. The man said that he paid a prostitute $150 for her services but she never held up to her end of the deal. Police weren’t without sympathy for the man’s plight. They ended up arresting him on charges of soliciting prostitution. But he didn’t get entirely hosed. The prostitute was also arrested. Continue reading →

Not News of the Week

It’s back to the well once again. It’s time for the weirdest and wackiest stories from around the world. It’s the Not News of the Week.

By now, we’ve all heard that Google is planning on ceasing its specialized operations in China. In order to gain favour with the Chinese government, they produced a special censored version of their search engine. Well, after alleged invasions of privacy by the Chinese government on users and Google itself, Google decided they were done. However, that means that over 200 employees are being put out of work. So what is Google doing for its soon-to-be former employees? They let them have an afternoon off and took them all to see Avatar. Talk about a quality severance package. I wonder if Avatar was censored by the Chinese government. Continue reading →
