Shiney Ahuja Gets Bail In Light Of Polanski Rape Case
BOLLYWOOD actor Shiney Ahuja has been bailed. Ahuja is accused of raping his maid in Mumbai.
In custody since mid-June. Ahuja denies charges of rape, criminal intimidation and wrongful confinement.
Anorak suggests that in his defence he mentions that he watched The Pianist and found it challenging, and that had it not been for Roman Polanski he never would have been able to move his shoulders up and down to a syncopated back story…

Locerkbie Targeted In Britain’s 9/11 Lucozade Bomb Plot
HOW do you describe the Islamists who planned to murder thousands of people, and their plot? Here’s how:
“The Lucozade bombers” – The Guardian opts for branding, although the BBC’s re-enactment of what would have occurred featured bottles of Oasis, which sounds far more exotic.
“The liquid bombers” – The Mirror shuns advertising.
“Britain’s 9/11” – The Independent doesn’t know when the bombs were to be detonated but needs a date to position the atrocity on the West, as media protocol dictates. Foreign horrors are known by their location: Mumbai Massacre etc.
“The plot to kill 10,000” – The Telegraph counts the intended victims
althoguh the numerbs do differ:
“5,000″ - The Sun
“1,500″ - The Guardian
“GUILTY OF PLOTTING SEVEN LOCKERBIES” – the Sun aims to keep things on-theme by indicating that all seven plans would have been destroyed over Scotland, thus ensuring that any guilty parties would one day be released to a rapturous homecoming in, er, Luton.
The Times goes with the 9/11 angle, and has more facts:
* But it took three years, two lengthy trials, a massive surveillance operation and more than £50 million in police and legal costs…
* Counter-terrorist police, the security services and prosecutors spent more than £35 million foiling the plot and bringing Ali to justice…

Jaycee Lee Dugard Lived In Britain
JAYCEE Lee Dugard - Anorak’s look at Jaycee Dugard in the news: With Baby P, Madeleine McCann, Shannon Matthews, 9/11, Afghanistan, War on Terror, Mumbai Massacre, the Asian tsunami and Sue Carroll…
Lest you think the story of Jaycee Dugard is not relevant to you, dear Britisher, that you are just gawping at suffering and sensation, Sue Carroll sets you straight, and engages in a rich game of Tabolid Bingo. See how many stories you can spot being linked to Our Jaycee:
Daily Mirror: “Who’s to say there isn’t a Jaycee Lee Dugard in Britain?”
How ironic that during Jaycee’s incarceration the world has witnessed terrorist atrocities, disasters and war but missed completely the cruelty inflicted on an innocent little girl locked away in a paedophile’s suburban backyard.
9/11. Mumbai. Tsunami. Iraq. Bing…. Wait for it. Sue Carroll has more:
We know enough about the death of Baby P to recognise no stone must be left unturned when a child’s life is in question.

Mumbai Tourist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab Is Gunman, Terrorist And Jew
WHAT do we call Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, aka Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, aka Ajmal Amir Kasav, is a terorist who played a role in the Mumbai attacks.
Kasav’s orders were “kill to the last breath”.
The Times of India knows what he is. The New York Times is uncertain:
Kasab was captured in a chilling photograph and now he has confessed his role in the Mumbai terrorist attacks, but he remains a ‘gunman‘, rather than a ‘terrorist‘, for the New York Times and other leading American newspapers. And with a reason…
For the New York Times and the Washington Post, Kasab is strictly a gunman.
“Mumbai Gunman Enters Plea Of Guilty“, the Post headline read a day later, and the 428 words of the report from New Delhi do not include “terrorist” — not even to qualify the “attack“.

Nepal Airport Makes Staff Go Naked
TO put an end to bribe taking, staff at Nepal’s Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan airport are to be issued with trousers without pockets.
Spokesman for the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority Ishwori, Prasad Paudyal, tells the AFP news agency:
“We discovered that the reports [of bribe taking] were true. So we decided that airport officials should be given trousers with no pockets. We believe this will help curb the irregularities.”
It all depends what form the bribes take. Sweets, for instance, can be eaten and drinks drunk. And sexual favours leave only a small stain, a smirk or an itch.

Jade Goody’s Funeral Route And Facts
JADE Goody: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s post-reality career. Jade is still dead but with her funeral to run and books to sell, she remains busy…
Daily Star: “JADE’S FUNERAL IS A FAKE”
She’s not dead? Was Jade the greatest method actor of her generation?
Jade Goody’s final resting place is being kept secret to keep ghoulish fans away. Her grieving family are trying to fool freaks and sickos by dropping false hints about possible burial plots. A source revealed last night: “Jade’s loved ones are desperate for her to be buried with dignity and to rest fully in peace. They want to be able to bury Jade in private and to keep the location a secret. Sadly, they know there are ghouls and freaks out there who might turn up at the grave site looking for souvenirs.”

Israel Behind Mumbai., 9/11, 7/7, Bali And Nepalese Hotel Policy
ISREAL has heard the words of Michael Backman on evil Israel and disbanded:
If the residents of Bendigo started firing rockets into Melbourne you would expect Melbourne to retaliate. But what must Melbourne have done to Bendigo to make them do such a thing?
They’re not letting hacks into Melbourne, but from where we’re standing, it looks like a firework display gone wrong.

Fishy Porn And Heath Ledger’s Raped Nuns Are Popular In Australia
SAYS Rupert Murdoch’s news.com.au, his Australian news service online:
AS another year draws to a close we could ruminate sagely from the journalistic tower on the defining moments of 2008 - the global financial crisis; terror in Mumbai; the China quake; the historic election of a black president in the US.
In true awards style, the list is a count down to the big number one story. What is it, then: Obama, Mumbai or China?

India vs England, first Test: XI conclusions
1. Let’s get the inevitable cliche out of the way first: cricket was the real winner in this contest. Sport 1, Terrorism 0. The fact India and England produced one of the most gripping tests of the 21st century… well, that’s a bonus. And how fitting that Mumbai boy Sachin Tendulkar should hit the winning runs.

Minnesotan Somalians Rest In Pieces
MINNESOTA Somalians: Rest In Pieces:
Mark Steyn reprots on a disassembled departee:
A Minnesotan suicide bomber (now there’s a phrase) originally from Somalia returned to the old country and blew up himself and 29 other people last October. His family prevailed upon your government to have his parts (or as many of them as could be sifted from the debris) returned to the United States at taxpayer expense and buried in Burnsville Cemetery. Well, hey, in the current climate, what’s the big deal about a federal bailout of jihad operational expenses? If that’s not “too big to fail,” what is?
If you dry him out, he won’t weigh much and can travel in economy class, in someone’s pocket or a 25cl bottle. Have a heart.

Britney Spears Naked Angelina Jolie 9/11 Joe Swash Charlie Brooker Knob Feast
BRITNEY Spears naked, Miley Cyrus naked, Angelina Jolie naked, Israel vs Palestine naked, Joe Swash, iPhone, 9/11 conspiracy, Facebook, MySpace, and Anthea Turner clothed.
There, that should guarantee this column gets oodles of traffic. Thanks to the Guardian’s Aida Edemariam for using that top search fodder in her piece, words also used in frowning Charlie Brooker’s Guardian feature.
Not that Anorak saw it, having spent the past week searching for “Joe Swash pots Nicola McLean” in Paddick’s pocket; McLean being the only women to be snookered by her chest.
