Popular News, Videos, Photos and Scandals of the Past 30 Days
2007-05-17 19:20:00
In case you missed any of the tantalizing news of the past 30 days, here's a comprehensive recap of some of the stories, issues and videos that made news of the past month. Minus Imus – Chipping At "The Old Boys Club"A pathetic attempt to apologize and pass the buck at the same time on Al Sharpton’s radio show did not help Don Imus, the old ‘shock jock’ radio host, repair the inexcusable, abusive, sexist and racist remarks he made about the women’s basketball team at Rutgers University. On Sharpton’s (who is unquestionably a hypocrite and bigot himself) show Don Imus also said: “I can’t satisfy you people.” Those may be his famous last words.Airport Video Shows Astronaut Waiting For AttackOrlando police released video footage from the Orlando International Airport in Florida from June 5. Police say the video shows former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak "waiting for" romantic rival Colleen Shipman. Moments later, Nowak reportedly attacked Shipman in the airport parking g...

Falwell, Flynt and the 'Mamma Shack Scandal'
2007-05-16 05:15:00
Memorable Moments in Video HistoryFlynt and Falwell Face-Off - 1983Nearly a quarter of a century ago, founder of Hustler magazine and one of American celebrity culture's most colorful characters ever, Larry Flynt, turned a courtroom into his own twisted mini-circus as clearly seen in this unusual videotaped deposition.The deposition was ordered by a court after Rev. Jerry Falwell, who died Tuesday, filed a lawsuit against Flynt for libel in 1983.Flynt appears on the video in a hospital bed because of the paralysis he suffered from an assassin’s bullet a few years before.Flynt openly mocks the legal proceedings during the deposition, repeatedly answering "no" to the common swearing in: “do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” Flynt refused to answer "yes". A number of times during the video deposition, Flynt, who appears medicated, stares and smirks at Falwell (who is off-camera). He also claimed to be just about everyone - from Christ...

Man With No Arms and One Leg Eludes Police in High Speed Chase
2007-05-13 23:58:00
It's not the first time Michael Francis Wiley has taken police in Florida on a high speed chase. The remarkable part is that Wiley has no arms and only one leg. For about eight minutes on Friday, Wiley, 40, sped through the streets of downtown New Port Richey, Florida until the police called off the chase out of fear for the public's safety. New Port Richey Police issued an immediate arrest warrant for Wiley who was soon apprehended and now awaits trial for various traffic and drug charges. Wiley has been arrested so many times for driving on a suspended license that he now faces a felony charge for that crime alone. Wiley has previously served time in prison for the same violation and for kicking a police officer. Wiley lost both arms and a leg following an electrical accident when he was 13 years old. In the ensuing years, he taught himself how to drive with just one leg. That's right, one leg. In fact, he had a valid driver's license for many years in Florida because he was a...

A man who swallowed a reported 51 balloons of heroin forced a Vietnam Airlines flight bound for Sydney, Australia to make an emergency return to Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat Airport after the man began vomiting nylon bags, according to the airlines security chief Tran Tien Dung. An hour and a half into the flight, a flight attendant saw passenger Nguyen Kant, 36, vomit a red nylon bag and lose consciousness. The airplane returned to Tan Son Nhat Airport. At no time was the airplane or other passengers in danger.

Doctors said that at least one balloon burst open, causing pure tar heroin to leak into Kant's blood stream. Hospital officials reported that Kant defecated 9 additional balloons and an ultrascan revealed 40 similar balloons of heroin still in Kant's stomach weighing more than one pound. There are ...

UK Man Wants Compensation for Impending Death Spending Spree

A British man who was told by doctors that he only had months to live went on a spending spree thinking his final days were almost up. Two years ago, John Brandrick, 62, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he would likely die within a year, according to Sky News.With limited time to live, Brandrick quit his job, gave away or sold nearly all his possessions - except for the suit he planned to be buried in - spent his savings on dining and travel and ceased making his mortgage payments. A year later Brandrick was told he did not have a tumor but simply a non-life threatening inflammation of his pancreas."When they tell you you've got a limited time and everything, you do enjoy life," Brandrick, from Cornwall in the west of England, told Sky television."I'm really pleased that I've got a second chance in life... but if you haven't got no money after all this, which is my fault -- I spent it all -- they should pay something back."Brandrick says that he may sell his ho...

UPDATE: May 28: Paris Pampering Prep for Prison? A judge in Los Angeles has sentenced celebrity Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail for violation of probation for driving a vehicle on a suspended license.The 26-year-old Hollywood tabloid magnet and socialite heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune has had numerous encounters with the police in the past year, which ultimately led to the judge's decision.

Hilton was charged with violation of her probation which is what led to today's sentence.Los Angeles County Judge Michael T. Sauer was not persuaded by arguments presented by Hi...

A Bizarre, Long and Mostly Slow Car Chase in LA Finally Ends
2007-04-27 01:35:00
A car thief suspect led Los Angeles police on one of the longest and most bizarre car chases in recent memory. You can watch some of the chase which lasted some 90 minutes, with the suspect driving slowly, stopping, dancing the ledge of the car and peeling donuts on rims that etched circles in the middle of an LA intersection. Shortly afterwards, the police finally made a successful pit, sending the car into a median. With helicopters above, the suspect leaped out of the car and down on his stomach where police secured and hog-tied the suspect. For almost one and a half hours, the unknown male suspect led police all around Los Angeles while gesturing at the police and at one point sitting out on the car window ledge apparently dancing to music. The suspect also threw papers and trash out of the window during most of the chase. Even after one of several attempted pits by the police unhinged the back bumper of the stolen Nissan car, and after all four tires were spiked, the crazed su...

However, the student is still too shocked to talk about the instant messages to reporters at this time. Other reports from the Associated Press claim that two female students were apparently intimidated and harassed by Cho and filed complaints with the authorities.In 2005, Cho was subsequently declared by a Virginia court to be an "imminent danger to himself." But apparently, there were no follow-ups to check on Cho's condition, leaving Cho extremely vulnerable to what appeared to be a severe mental illness.However, the extent of Cho's preparation and premeditation for the ...

If Rosie O'Donnell would zip it and instead use her ill-gotten soap box to ask questions that are not based on idiotic, paranoid delusions and stupid rants about a conspiracy for everything under the sun, she might want to watch this clip, if she hasn't seen it already. This might be old news to some, but fellow bloggers have been buzzing again about this clip that is six years old. Probably like many of you, I was unaware of this particular precursor to 9/11 that appears to predict the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Centers on Sept. 11, 2001.The Lone Gunman, a X-Files spin-off TV series, aired a pilot show on FOX on March 4, 2001. The theme of the pilot was based on a story of 747's being hijacked to be used as flying bombs to attack the World Trade Center, eerily similar to the attacks that took place six months later.This video is a clip from the pilot itself.WARNING: Anyone affected by what happened on that day may not want to watch this not because it contains inappropriate...

Keith Richards Snorted His Father's Ashes with Cocaine
2007-04-04 01:58:00
One of the world's most famous rock guitarists, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, has never tried to hide the fact that he did lots of cocaine and other drugs, like heroin, for many years. He almost single-handedly put the drugs behind the rock motto "sex, drugs and rock and roll."Claiming now to be drug-free, Richards said he once mixed some of his father's ashes with cocaine and snorted it. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards, 63, told the British music magazine NME on April 2nd. His father, Bert Richards, died in 2002 at the age of 84."He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared. ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."The photograph of Mr. Richard's senior (courtesy of Rock Junket) shows Keith's Dad backstage a year before his death and subsequent cremation. Something tells me this is a late April Fool's joke, or maybe Richards doesn't know wha...

Source of Hillary Big Brother Apple Spoof Ad Revealed

Breaking News.A company called Blue State Digital working for the Barack Obama campaign has fired an employee responsible for the famous Hillary Clinton Apple ad "Big Brother " spoof video that has made headlines this week and has been viewed online more than one million times.The company, FOX News said, was founded by members of Howard Dean's Internet campaign team that made history with raising millions of dollars in grassroots online campaigns, changing forever the way political campaigns are run in America.The actual creator of the video, Philip de Vellis, said he created the video outside of work and resigned as a result. That conflicts with Blue State's claim that de Vellis was fired. De Vellis also said he is proud of his work and does not regret it. (If I was this guy's lawyer or PR person, I'd tell him to shut his mouth. He's looking at a good chance Apple Inc. is going to go after him for copyright infringement.

Corpse On a Plane Upgraded to First Class

What is the policy of an airline if someone dies aboard the plane while in flight? Apparently on British Airlines an in-flight corpse gets an upgrade from economy class to first class.What's so bad about that, right? It's the least they can do (health officials please debate this) for the elderly Indian woman who expired shortly after take-off on a flight from New Delhi to London. Passengers in the first class cabin woke to a commotion that was not just air turbulence. Businessman Paul Trinder, 54, told London's Daily Mail that he woke up in the darkened cabin to what he later learned was a body being moved around "like a sack of potatoes."Trinder said that air turbulence was causing the body to "rock and roll" all the place even though the body was strapped in with a seat belt for the five hour flight. A British Airways spokesperson, responding to Trinder's criticism at handling the event said: "...all actions are governed primarily by issues of safety, for example, the decease...

Geritol, Massive Sun Shade and Volcanoes Might Save Earth, Scientists Claim

Scientists around the world are coming up with ways to help combat global warming, including a 'Geritol solution', a massive sun-shade over the earth and man-made volcanoes.Yes, those are just some of the ideas from scientists around the world to help fight global warming, according to the Associated Press.One professor at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California said the proposed "remedies" show just how desperate we are: "Of course it's desperation,” professor Stephen Schneider said.“It's planetary methadone for our planetary heroin addiction. It does come out of the pessimism of any realist that says this planet can’t be trusted to do the right thing,” Schneider said.Don't be surprised to see all kinds of interesting, strange and plain old stupid ideas in coming months.The ideas are spewing like an erupting volcano (scientists want to build man-made volcanoes to emit more sulphur into the atmosphere) after billionaire Richard Branson offered a $25 million prize l...

The Bush administration is in the midst of yet another political, potentially legal, scandal as details surface about the firings of dozens of federal attorneys that apparently were not favored by the Bush White House.MTB is currently working on obtaining the original emails, but a preliminary leak of the documents show the following: (UPDATE: VIEW PDF of "Karl Rove Email")Attorney General Alberto Gonzales considered eliminating low-performing federal prosecuters but was told by a top aide that such a house-cleaning "would certainly send ripples through the U.S. attorney community if we told folks they got one term only."The emails between Gonzales and his former chief aide, Kyle Sampson, indicate that at least 15 percent to 20 percent of federal prosecutors were slated to be eliminated. An email between two White House staffers dated Jan. 6, 2005 is causing particular concern for the Bush administration.
