Hoity The Dead Cat is Peta’s Dumb Animal Of The Month
ANORAK is, like Peta, looking for an intern. No cats. And no dead cats, especially, as the Washington Post reports:
Lydia Netzer lives next door to the PETA intern house down in Norfolk. Netzer used to have an indoor-outdoor cat. PETA has concerns about outdoor cats.
There is more than one kind of cat?
“It seemed like every time a new intern moved in, they would come over and say they needed to talk to me about the dangers of cats living outside. I would have this parade of pierced, tattooed vegans at my door. In a way it’s like, ‘Oh, they’re so cute. They’re all 20 years old and super-faithful true believers.’ “

Gay Men And Lesbians Ordered To Leave Jamaican Town On ‘Gay Eradication Day’
THE Jamaica Star has a message for homosexuals: “GAYS MUST LEAVE TODAY”.
Today has been proclaimed ‘Gay Eradication Day’ by residents of the McGregor Gully community in East Kingston. Residents say that they will be taking action as a two-week notice given to all gays and lesbians to flee the community has now expired.
It can be hard to identify who is and who is not gay. The Gully locals’ plan might be to see who flees then: a) send out a posse; b) lock the town’s gates; or c) see if there’s enough demand for an organic coffee shop.
A local explains:
“Yu nuh si seh dem waa mash up di place an gi wi bad name, me haffi protect my yute dem from dem type a influence deh,” one resident said while pointing out that they will not sit back and watch while their community falls into disrepute.

Sick Patient Locked In Ambulance And Left In Manchester
THE NHS works. The NHS works so well that a patient was attended to by Sharston ambulance station, Wythenshawe, was locked in an ambulance for five hours. The driver had forgotten he was there and gone home.
The NHS does work because the 65-year-old was collected by an ambulance from Manchester Royal Infirmary. A spokesman tells us:
“We are very sorry this incident took place. This has never happened before and it will never happen again.
“We have met with the patient and family to discuss the matter and will continue to liaise with them throughout this process.”

City Bans Over 12s, Tall Children And Sex Offenders From Halloween
IN Belleville, St Louis, paedos and yobbos are spreading the Halloween fear.
The rules state that anyone the age of an eighth grader – that’s 12 years old - and younger may trick or treat from 5:00 to 8:30 on Halloween night. If you are older you are forbidden unless you are special needs.
The rules also state that anyone older than 12 year must not wear a mask or anything that covers or disguises the face.
Mayor Mark Eckert tells us how they do it the land of the free:
“We felt that the situation of adding that about concealing your identity is a tool for the police officers. They don’t need to have people running around that feel like they have the right to have different masks on throughout the community, into restaurants, or different places. That makes it very difficult to do their jobs.”
So no wearing a stripy jumper and wearing a black mask; no dressing up as Gary Glitter; a paedo priest nor that. It only makes the police’s job harder.

Boy Loses Arm In Washing Machine, Goes to Bed Without It
“SORRY mami, I’ve gone and lost my arm. I didn’t mean to,” says the little lad whose arm became detached from the rest of him.
The incident occurred in the city of Ulm, southern Germany, and like you we are amazed at the Teutonic capacity for the English language. But the Sun is nothing if it is not factual.
Police spokesman Wolfgang Juergens tells us:
“It is nothing short of a miracle that he didn’t bleed to death in the night.”

The X Factor Ventriloquist Choir Video
IN today’s edition of Terrible TV, we bring you the Ventrioloquist Choir, singing The Beatles in the style of the X Factor charity record.
In Hungry this is what they think Simon Cowell does - stick his magic hand up a few wannabes and put words into their mouths. He doesn’t. He uses strings. His is good clean entertainment. But this is how it used to work in the 1950s, in the Vienna reagion.
Choir Master: “You vant zo be in der chvoir, mein kinder? A-ha! Zer ist two ov you. John und Edvard…”
Blond Angel: “Yes, sir. It’s a journey. Vote for me!”

Somali Man Aged 112 Marries 17-Year-Old Virgin
THE internet is alive with news that 112-year-old Ahmed Muhamed Dore has married Safia Abdulleh, age 17, in the Galguduud region of Somalia. Says Dore:
“Today God helped me realise my dream… I didn’t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry.”
It’s a cracking story, and one backed up by no proof of wither parties ages, nor of their wedding. There exists no Jeremy Kyle equivalent in Somalia for us to watch the happy couple on the telly. No DNA test can prove the man’s age.

Alien Crawls Onto South Pacific Beach
ON Temuka beach, Rose Fraser has potted an alien. Says she:
“I first saw it from a distance and I thought: ‘That’s a big white rock on the shore line … that wasn’t there four days ago’.”
A new island?
“I must admit, I thought: ‘Heck, this is an alien’. It looks like it’s got big ribs coming out of it, but it looks like they could be tentacles, so I don’t know.”
So she did as anyone would do when faced with a magical discovery, a visitation from another planet. She lobbed a rock at it. She prodded it with a stick. It did not move.

China Erects Pair Of Massive Breasts Attached to Tiny Girl
IN Foshan City, Guangdong province China a new statue features a small child stood well back behind a pair of giant breasts.
Is this a Katie Price time line, a lide that takes users from the young Katie to the Jordan to now?
The girl is just 20cm tall girl and her breasts are five metres high and wide. Neither girl nor chests are thought to be real - although we have yet to hear the girl sing.
Says one mum:
“The park used to be a great place for families, but now what attracts my son the most is the huge breasts. I have tried to educate him with some scientific knowledge, but all he thinks when he sees the statue are smutty thoughts.”
Mum knows what you’re thinking. You can’t win. If you look at the little girl, you’re a paedo. If you look at the breasts, you’re a sicko. And if you look at mum, you’re just odd. What says the girls? A kindergarten teacher explains:
“The little girls were scared and cried loudly, asking me if they would grow those huge things, and boys laughed crazily.”
Says a spokesman for the park:
“It’s normal to have disagreements about art, we can understand it.”
It’s nothing more than a worthwhile totem for mass debate…
