The 1970s in photos – When sex was invented by plain people in busy clothes

THE 1970s were at the cusp of the sexual revolution. The magazines, the film reels and the go-go shows were there to put the joy into sex, which since ancient times had been functional and very possibly accidental. We’ve pulled together a collection of images that preceded the racy action sequences. One reason these cats wanted to rips each others clothes of is clear: the clothes. You didn’t have to be plain with puckered, goose-bumped, sweaty skin to have sex in the 1970s – it just helped…

The Twitter hunt for ‘racist’ Steve @Lapwnge: Ashley Cole and Ashley Young must be avenged

racist tweets The Twitter hunt for racist Steve @Lapwnge: Ashley Cole and Ashley Young must be avengedTHERE was little racism in evidence at the Euro 2012 Championships in The Ukraine and Poland. The BBC and the tabloids had warned England fans about neo-Nazi gangs waiting to murder blacks, Asians and Jews. In “Anarchy in the Ukraine – ‘Nazi’ militia train yobs to fight our fans“, the Sun showed us local thugs rehearsing for murder with wooden knives. But Ashley Young’s family sat in the stands for England’s match with Italy came home not in coffin, as Sol Campbell told BBC viewers black fans might, but on the smart seats of a passenger plane.

The message was clear: we will not tolerate those uncultured (Daniel Pudsey writing for the LSE) East Europeans living in a backward land notorious for its extremist yobs (Sun) with endemic racism (Daily Mail).

Kevin Brennan MP never was much cop at darts – do the maths

HOW bright do you need to be to be an MP? In this masterclass, Kevin Brennan, Labour education spokesman and MP for Cardiff West, says three in 10 pupils achieved good GCSEs in 1997. As any fule knows that’s “60 per cent.” As he said:

 ”It was we who inherited a weak system on maths and English from the Tories. Only three in 10 pupils, that’s 60 per cent because I know the Secretary of State is not very good at maths, only three in 10 pupils got a good GCSE in 1997.”


All funny stuff. If an Oxford graduate and former economics teacher can’t do the sums, who can?

Karen Huff Klein gets abused on a New York school bus by young fat busters

EGGED on by the State-sanctioned war on the fat, the kids on board the Greece School District bus in Greece, N.Y, set about abusing (surely, encouraging her to lose weight – ed) Karen Huff Klein, a 68-year-old bus monitor.

The most popular terms of abuse if “fat ass”. A playground wit tells her ”you don’t have a family because they all killed themselves because they don’t want to be near you.” Her son killed himself ten years earlier. The nippers knew this. They advise her that she will “die of diabetes.

It’s all pretty much the usual expert-inspired stuff, in which the fat are told to objectify themselves and their roly-poly kids, who are responsible for draining the health system of funds and killing the planet. Kids, he, they really do just pick up adult prejudices.

Jimmy Carr fluffs his lines

 Jimmy Carr fluffs his linesJIMMY Carr has become the face of the wrong-minded tax-dodger. You’d think that a satire-mined comic would revel in this, using it as a chance to be the baddie, goading the right-minded with his legally earned cash and how he and Take That are being blamed for the collapse of the financial system. “Sod it,” says Carr. “I’ve hit the easy liberal-friendly targets (women, Christians, bankers), been BBC compliant and made a mint as the on-message TV panel show stalwart.” Now I’ll do the risky stuff. I won’t be on the telly, for sure, but I’ll make you laugh.”

It gets better when marketing man David Cameron calls Jimmy Carr “not morally right”. Has there ever been better badge of honour? Wear it with pride, Mr Carr. Use it as slogan for your  nationwide tour. Jerry Sadowitz is knocking on a bit. It’s time for a new pariah.

Boston atheist vows to defy police and display poster stating all religion is fairy stories

atheist Boston atheist vows to defy police and display poster stating all religion is fairy storiesJOHN Richards, of Boston, Lincolnshire, has been told that he faces arrests if his post decrying relgions as “fairy stories” causes offence. Because anything can cause offence to those who seek it out, Mr Richards is doomed.

According to Lincolnshire Police, the 1986 Public Order Act states that “a person is guilty of an offence if they display a sign which is threatening or abusive or insulting with the intent to provoke violence or which may cause another person harassment, alarm or distress.”

That nonsense is followed by the police’s laughable lines:

“This is balanced with a right to free speech and the key point is that the offence is committed if it is deemed that a reasonable person would find the content insulting.”

When tennis stars go mad: Nalbandian, McEnroe, Williams and even Timmy Henman explode

WHEN tennis stars go mad:

David Nalbandian’s assault on a hapless hoarding at the Queen’s club was itself sufficient to warrant a stern rebuke and possibly even disciplinary action. But the unfortunate collateral damage – a nasty shin injury to the line judge who was seated immediately behind the advertising board – has catapulted the angry Argentinian into the lawn tennis hall of shame, and earned him worldwide notoriety.

Martha Payne uses her school dinner blog to promote the Roman Catholicism in Africa

matha payne1 Martha Payne uses her school dinner blog to promote the Roman Catholicism in AfricaMARTHA Payne was doing it for a Christian charity. The nine-year-old blogger has so far raised £70,000 for charity after Argyll and Bute Council forbade her from posting photos of her Lochgilphead Primary school dinners on her blog and then, in the media spotlights, caved in.

Matha Payne is raising cash for school dinners in Malawi. She has taken the parental advice, that if the kids in Africa are starving they can have my revolting dinner, by raising enough money to feed the children over there.

Matha scores each meal on her “food-o-meter”, giving the mush a health rating. She then counts the number of mouthfuls she needs to eat it. When it’s peas and smoked haddock the mouthful count can top 23,000!

magnotta luka Luka Magnotta: He might have practiced for murder on his doll BarbieLUKA Magnotta is in a cell in Berlin, awaiting extradition to Canada. The head of his alleged victim, Jun Lin, has not been found. So far, two hands and two feet from Lin’s body have arrived via the post at part two Vancouver schools, the Ottawa headquarters of the Conservative Party of Canada and another addressed to the country’s Liberal party was intercepted at the post office.

Montreal police Commander Ian Lafreniere tells media:

“The state of the body is so bad. It was cut. It was dismembered. This is a very hard case for us in terms of being extremely gross. We’re still missing body parts.”

vanity wonder Shot Girls: Vanity Wonder uncovers the black market in silicon buttock injectionsVANITY Wonder is the woman lifting the lid on the world of black market buttock injections. In Shot Girls, Vanity  revela such moments as meeting Luxor:

Her breasts were huge and she had a big jiggly booty. She was over 6ft tall though, with huge hands and feet and her voice was kind of, well, deep. I blew it off like maybe she was just a big woman.

While the two of them caught up, Luxor brashly instructed Casey to put the numbing ointment on me and Denim. He called us over one at a time and rubbed a gel on our butts, then covered them with saran wrap. When I pulled my pants down, he was surprised.

“OH! You smell just like baby powder! It’s nice to get somebody in here that smell good. Some of these girls come in here smellin’ so bad!” he said.

Nick D’Arcy and Kenrick Monk: Olympic swimmers in gun-toting stupidity massacre

darcy monk Nick DArcy and Kenrick Monk: Olympic swimmers in gun toting stupidity massacre  NICK D’Arcy and Kenrick Monk are Austrlian Olympic swimmers. They posted photographs of themselves posing with guns on Facebook. No, not their own guns used in crime. These were hired guns they’d been firing legally on a shooting range in California.

As D’Arcy said.

“It was pretty fantastic to be honest, because we don’t get that opportunity at home. It was just a bit of fun,” D’Arcy told reporters at Brisbane Airport on Friday. It was all just meant to be a bit of fun. If anyone’s been offended I deeply apologise. It was never the intent, it was never supposed to be offensive.”

Was anyone sane offended by the photograph?

Luka Magnotta fed Jun Lin to his pet rabbit and worked as a detective

luka magnotta Luka Magnotta fed Jun Lin to his pet rabbit and worked as a detectiveLUKE Magnotta, born Eric Newman, is the international tabloid star. The Daily Mirror leads with the headline:

“MY BABY-FACED CANNIBAL”

Magnotta is accused of murdered Justin (Jun) Lin in Montreal, chopping up his body – and posting a foot and a hand to political parties in Canada. He’s not been convicted. He’s had not trial. But still the Mirror yells:

“He was a time bomb waiting to explode”: Aunt of ‘cannibal killer’ tells of his weird childhood – Investigators are trying to unravel his sick fantasy world, which began in the Toronto suburbs where he grew up – and spread to London

This is how it is. The British tabloids will stop prejudicing domestic trails and turn their attention to foreigners. The Mirror realises that a Canadian suspect might not travel, so it reminds readers that Magnotta lived for while in London. And, no, he was not arrested in the UK, and never did murder anyone.

Back then, in 1993, he was a painfully shy 11-year-old who retreated into a fantasy world to forget his nightmarish home life. In a bid to impress his disbelieving classmates, he spun incredibly outlandish tales – something he continued to do long after leaving school. As an adult, he’d lie about being the lover of Canada’s most notorious female killer.

That killer is Karla Homolka. And as Magnotta said in 2007:

“I am not dating Karla Homolka.”

Undeterred by that fact, the Mirror ploughs on:

According to police, he killed and mutilated gay lover Lin Jun, then ate his flesh with a knife and fork. He also filmed it all and later posted the sick video online.

This site says:

He allegedly ate pieces of flesh with a knife and fork similar to a scene from Silence of the Lambs.

Has any hack seen the video 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick, the tape purporting to show Lin’s murder and that cannibalism?

This blogger says he has:

His flesh was not eaten with a knife and fork. ****** takes a knife and fork to the man’s ass (in a pathetically inept manner, I might add) and, when he finally succeeds in obtaining a chunk of fat, he goes off screen with it and shortly returns with his pet (possibly a puppy, it is hard to tell because of the video quality). He lets it nibble at the stump of the right leg. This brings me to my most blog-relevant point. It was a large piece of ass-fat. I mean…really. If the dude succeeded in eating that without gagging, I’d be very surprised. I would be similarly surprised if he even tried. It has been noted in many articles that the man got his start by posting videos on the internet such videos as Christmas Python (in which a python consumes a kitten). The man obviously enjoys the attention he gets from feeding his pets. I am 99.999999999% certain he was merely cutting off a piece to feed another pet, not so that he himself could eat it.

Another writers on a site called The Secualarity offers:

When I say those crazy Canadians are at it again, this time I mean it. Luka Magnotta [allegedly] murdered Justin Lin, a student, with an ice-pick, a knife and fork, had intercourse with the stump, let his rabbit lick it, then preceded to shove a wine bottle up the corpse’s orifice. Mind you, he did this all on tape and uploaded it to the internet. The video was pulled so quick from most major sites, that some speculate it doesn’t exist. Believe me it does.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail finds something to blame for Jun Lin ‘s murder. No, not the killer:

Canadian ‘Cannibal killer’ suspect Luka Magnotta is believed to have been inspired by a violent video game starring Christopher Walken as a futuristic serial killer called Vince Magnotta who is addicted to butchering his victims.

Believed by whom?

Hollywood actor Walken starred in the 1996 video game Ripper, a gruesome adventure which sees a brutal serial killer terrorising New York in the year 2040.

And this would be the game in which Christopher Walken plays not the killer, rather Detective Vince Magnotta? It would be, yes. Luka Magnotta is 29. In 1996, when the game came out he would have been aged 13.

Techdirt picks up on news that without the internet, Magnotta would not have committed his crimes. An expert knows:

Without the web, “the butcher of Montreal would not exist,” Mr. de Boni concludes. “This killer character is a narcissistic and deviant avatar, one of many virtual identities he invented in order to create celebrity.”

An ex-lover tells the Ottawa Citizen:

“I didn’t trust him, cause there was something about him that gave me the creeps. I’m glad I broke up with him, ‘cause he could have killed me, and chopped me up in pieces,” she said.

Meanwhile, MSBN asks:

Did Canada’s alleged cannibal killer Luka Magnotta strike in LA?

The remains of Hervey Medellin, 66, were found by the famous Hollywood sign. Says Los Angeles police spokesman Officer Lyle Knight:

“The body parts are the common denominator here. That’s why our investigators want to talk to the Canadians. We want to know if his whereabouts included Hollywood because we understand he was in the acting field and Hollywood being the acting and movie mecca, we want to know.”

As Magnotta is linked to every unsolved murder in the Western hemisphere, Canada’s Star newspaper asks:

Luka Rocco Magnotta: Is accused killer a ‘psychopath?’

Experts arrive to state:

“They can be very nice guys and powerfully persuasive, the kind of guy you want to have a beer with,” says Gregg McCrary, a former FBI agent…

Michael Woodworth, associate professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, said it’s not yet clear whether Magnotta is a psychopath…

“Saying he has narcissistic personality disorder, that would not be a stretch,” he said. “That’s as clear as water.”…

The paper concludes:

What experts can agree on is that more information is needed, especially about Magnotta’s childhood…

Back, then, to the Daily Mirror:

His upbringing was certainly brutal – and at least one of his relatives always suspected there was something seriously wrong. An aunt, who asked not to be identified, said: “He is a nut job – he was a time bomb waiting to explode.” His parents – Anna Yourkin and Donald Newman – were just teenagers when he was born and they split up soon after. Eric was then brought up mainly by his domineering granny Phyllis Yourkin. Beatings were common and Eric – the eldest of three – took the brunt of his grandmother’s temper.

What else do we know?

…at 12 he hurled a chair at a teacher.

And… Nothing. That’s it. The aunt adds:

“He is mentally ill. He has delusions of grandeur. He concocts stories and they, in turn, become fact in his mind. This family, from the head down, is very dysfunctional. The essence of this whole story is parenting – or the lack of  it. The grandmother is very controlling, and if you have a submissive personality, she will do what she wants.”

Good to know that Magnotta has a caring aunt to watch his back.

The last word is with another expert:

Criminal profiler Lee Mellor has written a book on 60 Canadian serial killers. He says the alleged Cannibal Killer is a text-book example of a child starved of affection, who goes from making up stories to harming helpless animals to murder. And he said it was likely there were other victims waiting to be discovered. He warned: “I would not be surprised to find that Magnotta was responsible for at least one or two previous homicides.”

Or three or four. Or why not five or six. Or why not wait until the trial starts and the facts emerge..?

Full story here.
