Domina-Mobile Is The Mobile Dominatrix: In Pictures
TIMES are hard for German prostitutes. Tough times in the S&M game, where dungeons are in short supply.
This enterprising dominatrix has converted a Renault van into a dungeon, complete with dungeon features, like side impact protection, seat belts, a fan hater and electric windows.
No longer do German masochists need to travel for humiliation. Now they can feel truly humiliated as Domina parks outside their law office, police station or other place of work.
Right now, the Domina-mobile vehicle is just a van, but it is hoped that if money is good, Domina can offer a faster service in a one–seater convertible for racier enthusiasts.
Right, Max?

News Of The World Journalists Accused In Phone Tapping Probe
NEWS Group, the media giant owned by Rupert Murdoch, is reported to have stumped up £1m in court costs after its journalists at the News of The World were accused of involvement in phone tapping to get stories, writes the Guardian.
The Guardian claims News Group paid £700,000 in damages and costs to Gordon Taylor, the chief of the Professional Footballers Union.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers has paid out more than £1m to settle legal cases that threatened to reveal evidence of his journalists’ repeated involvement in the use of criminal methods to get stories.
A spokesman for News International says in ambiguous language:
“This particular case means nothing to anyone here, and I’ve talked to all the people who would be involved.”

LEWIS Hamilton and his McLaren team has been stripped of his third place in last Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix.
Why? No one seems to know, although the FIA (motor sport’s governing body) said they were excluded “for providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards at the hearing on 29 March”.

The Top Ten Understatements Ever
IN taking on the tabloid press, Max Mosley tells MPs that his father, Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, “overdid it and that stopped people thinking seriously about his ideas“.
That’s was always the problem with Nazis, overdoing it. You kill someone in a van with poison gas, then someone else wants to have a go and before you know it there are entire camps full of people and gas and everyone wants to press the button and be first and have their turn.
Here are Anorak’s Top Ten Understatements Ever

MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann, featuring special guest star Robert Murat, Lembit Opik, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Jade Goody and a heated debate
AFTER a winter-long hibernation, Madeleine McCann returns to the newspapers and front-line debate.
The University of Cambridge’s organ tells its readers: “Robert Murat holds Cambridge Union spellbound in tabloids debate”
The debate, which brought together some famous names from the media, was notable for emotional highs and lows, as well as some colourful tabloid-style language and plenty of laughter.
Speaking for the motion were Michael White, Associate Editor of the Guardian, Robert Murat and his lawyer Louis Charalambous, and the Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, whose personal life has regularly been splashed across the front pages of the tabloids.

Madeleine McCann: Robert Murat, MPs And Gerry McCann’s Heated Debate
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann, featuring special guest star Robert Murat
Madeleine McCann is missing, still missing. She is now missing from the papers. The story is not of a missing child. The story is of the media, how the single thread story became a maelstrom of speculation and clai, and now introspection.
Last night Robert Murat – a media victim - addressed an audience of students at Cambridge University’s Union Society in favour of a motion that “the tabloid press does more harm than good“.

The Torture Of Wearing A Man Bra: Crawford Confesses
SUSAN Crawford, A “senior member of the Bush administration,” says inmates were tortured at Guantanamo Bay. Well, she says one was:
Saudi national, Mohammed al-Qahtani, 30, was accused of involvement in the 9/11 attack. US authorities refer to him as the “20th hijacker”.
What of his torture? Says Crawford:
“For 160 days his only contact was with the interrogators. Forty-eight of 54 consecutive days of 18-to-20-hour interrogations. Standing naked in front of a female agent. Subject to strip searches. And insults to his mother and sister.”
Worse than it sounds, no doubt. The Guardian says it was “torture”.

A new book is out: “BOOKS: Why Charles Lindbergh went to meet with Hermann Goering” - The Immortalists: Charles Lindbergh, Dr Alexis Carrel and Their Daring Quest to Live Forever, by David M Friedman
Goering and Madeleine McCann… There is a link. Knew it…
MOST people know two things about Charles Lindbergh. One: in 1927 he became the first person to fly non-stop from New York to Paris. And two: five years later his baby son was kidnapped and murdered.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Oh, and he invented the electric guitar, suffered from bi-polarism and once ate 17 pickled eggs in a minute. Go on..:

Blowing Off: Suicide Bombers Use Exploding Underpants
“TERRORISTS develop ‘suicide underwear,’” writes Imran Asghar for the Daily Times:
Would-be suicide bombers could be using explosives “underwear briefs” rather than explosives jackets to evade “conservative” body searches, sources said on Wednesday. Sihala Police College forensic lab sources told Daily Times that the study of recent suicide attacks showed that suicide bombers used “explosives-laden” under-garments, briefs in particular, to carry out the attacks….
He’s gonna blow!
The sources said that the explosives could weigh between five kilogrammes to seven kilogrammes, made deadly by adding glass splinters, metal ball bearings and bullets.
Is Max Mosley listening..?

Carey On Max Mosley: Living The Dream
OLD Mr Anorak dreamed about Max Mosley last night.
The head of world motor sport (Mosley) was dressed in a red robe, white Crimplene wig and black suspenders. He was banging a gavel and demanding that our patron took £60,000 on pain of holding the court in contempt.

The Sun Mishears Max Mosley’s Trigger Word
WHAT would Sir Oswald Mosley, veteran of the Battle of Cable Street, have made of the news that his son, one Max Mosley, needed to pay someone to be beaten up?
One imagines he would have felt a deep and lasting red-cheeked shame.

MAX Mosely, yer hunour:
Mr Mosley was awarded £60,000 damages after the News of the World claimed he took part in a “sick Nazi orgy”.
The president of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) had asked for the paper to pay both compensation and a cash sum high enough to teach tabloids a lesson - known as punitive exemplary damages.
But there was no award made for the latter.
And the best quote.

How To Violate Teenagers With Ibuprofen
PSST! Want to knwo how to fropt teeangers and get away with it?
What do you suppose will happen to you if you’re an adult who tells a thirteen-year-old girl to strip off her clothes? If found out, you’re looking at some serious jailtime, right?
Sure. Except if you’re a school official, and you think that the girl might be hiding drugs. Then you can violate her all you want.
A divided US appeals court has ruled an Arizona school violated the constitutional rights of a 13-year-old student by conducting a strip search for ibuprofen.
