Chopper Skyforce 10 news crew catch dogs in the act (LIVE!)

WE go LIVE! with NBC’s Philadelphia News’ “Chopper SkyForce 10″. High over Germantown, Pa., the news sleuths zoom in on a home being used, allegedly, for running a dogfighting ring. A rumour is good enough for the voyeurs of Chopper Skyforce 10 crew, who think nothing of peeking down on wrongdoers from high above. Doggers beware!


YouTube link.

And viewers got a taste of just how good that camera was when it focused on two of the dogs. As WCAU reporter Christine Maddela attempted to report on her findings, the SkyForce 10 camera caught a dog getting intimate with his pal.

“You can see that one dog is, um, chained up, ” Maddela said before the camera quickly zoomed out and the copter moved to film the front yard instead.

Danny Boyle: The Olympic spirit is dead

London Olympics Opening Ceremony

SUMMER seems so long ago now, while we all stand at 45 degree angles in the howling wind, sodden by relentless sheets of dreadful rain. There was a time when the sun was out, the Tour De France was being amazing, Wimbledon was on and the Olympics rolled into town.

For a brief moment, a nation was united by the relief that London didn’t mess up the Olympic Games.

Robbie Williams versus Britpop

Williams launches tirade at Suede

REMEMBER when Robbie Williams left Take That and promptly went all ‘indie’ in a bid to be taken seriously while he stuck all manner of drugs up his conk? Well, The Fat Dancer From Take That has decided he doesn’t like indie anymore and gone mental telling everyone about it.

In a CAPScentric blog rant, Robbie lashed out at Suede’s Brett Anderson who took a swipe at pop music.

Chilean Rose tarantula wales

WHAT is worse than a tarantula? Finding a giant asbestos tarantula in your attic, which is on the loose and probably laying eggs in your mouth while you’re asleep!

AARGH!

Asbestos specialists Kusten Vorland were carrying out a survey in a 19th-century house in Cardiff when they made a truly disgusting discovery.

Instructions on how to get a girl’s phone number, guaranteed (*video)

tumblr_lfi2ofnBRU1qz8z6ao1_500 (1)

LOOK at you. Just sat there, all on your own thinking about the beige food you’ll horse into yourself before you slope away and fumble around in your grotty undercrackers, dreaming of attractive humans.

It doesn’t have to be like that though. You could be out there, getting the phone numbers of attractive women before embarking on a glorious, lusty voyage.

All you have to do is not speak.

Elephant seal uses zebra crossing in Brazil [VIDEO]

CHARLES Falklands 4

ONCE upon a time, mankind was feared by all of the animal kingdom because we were very, very good at killing all beasts for food, clothing and sport. However, we’ve become bloated and anaemic and spend our time tittering at creatures when they get above their station.

When we’re not slaves to cats or dressing dogs up in Juicy couture tracksuits, they’re wandering around our habitat with the kind of swagger not seen since Rick James was alive.

Church refuses straight weddings until gay marriage is recognised

green street marriage church

RECENTLY in Britain, ‘gay marriage’ became plain old ‘marriage’, but over in America, things aren’t quite as rosy. American’s still love being told what to do by a man from the middle east, it seems. However, one of Jesus’ flock has decided to make a stand by saying that they’ll be stopping straight people from tying the knot until gay marriage gets the green light by the state of North Carolina.

The Green Street United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem has publicly slated North Carolina’s position to prohibit same-sex marriage and “all the rights and privileges marriage brings”.

Crimestoppers release Marijuana scented scratch ‘n’ sniff cards, which will make great roaches

crimestoppers cards

THE war on drugs is an amusing/disturbing one, when you think of a load of policemen harassing a hapless stoner as they make their way through ten packets of Aldi jaffa cakes and watch Freddy Got Fingered for the seventh time that day.

Sure, stoners are useless individuals, but they’re thoroughly harmless.

Twitter ‘troll’ apologises to boxer on live TV… and he shouldn’t have

curtis james troll

REMEMBER when people knew what the word ‘troll’ meant? Those were glorious days and trolling was an artform, where people could peevishly derail arguments with bizarre logic and playing Devil’s advocate. However, like the dickhead in the schoolyard who has learned a new word, the media are now applying ‘troll’ to people who act like arseholes.

See, when someone just shouts abusively at someone or starts a campaign against a dead person on Facebook, they’re not trolling, they’re being either stupid for reaction or plain nasty. Trolling, by and large, is winding people up.

Emma Watson won’t be getting really naked in Fifty Shades of Grey

emma watson 50 shades

FIFTY Shades of Grey completely took over the world, giving people the chance to indulge themselves in the darker side of Mills and Boon and revel in some of the most clunky euphemisms for the vagina ever committed to a page. All good fun and a rather sweet way of getting your rocks off, compared to brutal 3 minute internet clips of tattooed LA starlets getting ravaged by men hung like wheelie-bins.

A film adaptation of EL James’ ‘Fifty Shades’ was inevitable and 99% of the world’s press rubbed their thighs with mucky fever, talking openly about which famous actress they’d most like to see getting spanked on the silver screen.

Carly Rae Jepsen gives the finger to the boy scouts of America

Justin Bieber in concert - London

WHILE Justin Bieber goes into brattish meltdown mode, saying to everyone that it isn’t fair that people are nasty to him (despite the fact that, while trying to take the moral highground after nearly punching a photographer AND slagging Lindsay Lohan off in an Instagram post), his pop pal Carly Rae Jepsen is faring much better.

After hitting the airwaves with the insanely great ‘Call Me Maybe’, she went on tour with Bieber and became a fully fledged popstar.

Red Nose Day: English more tightfisted than Scottish, despite stereotype

Harrogate stock

YOU’VE heard the jokes about Scottish people being tight fisted. However, ‘throwing his money around like a Scotsman with no arms’ doesn’t hold any water when you discover that it is in fact the English who are tightwads.

On this Red Nose Day – the day where comedy raises money for good causes, yet weirdly, acts as the single most depressing day in the calendar – a study of British philanthropy found that the Scottish are much more generous than the folk south of the border.

Dennis Rodman wants to razz the Popemobile around Rome to campaign for black Pontiff

Vatican Pope Rodman

CRAZY ol’ Dennis Rodman has been a busy boy lately. First off, he visited North Korea and gave Kim Jong Un a hug, before The Glorious Leader flew into the sky completing a series of 147s in the clouds while farting orchids. Dennis Rodman stood by with garish clothing and a load of tattoos as usual.

And now, the NBA legend has the Catholic church in his sights, intending to ride around Italy in the Popemobile while campaigning for a black Pope. Rodman wants Cardinal Peter Turkson to be elected and, while he’s there, he’ll team up with A Notable Bookmaker Who Won’t Be Getting A Free Advert Here to extol the virtue of papal betting.

Notorious B.I.G. to return to our TV as a cartoon ghost

Notorious BIG Lawsuit

NINETIES hip-hop is having a huge renaissance currently, mainly because it lends faux-credibility to horribly middle-class people, much like rock ‘n’ roll did in the ’70s. With that, comes a lot of opportunities for weird cash-ins. Tupac appeared as a hologram with Snoop and Dre on-stage and now, Notorious B.I.G. is to appear on our televisions as a cartoon ghost, like he’s Casper with an AK.

Biggie’s kids, CJ and T’yanna Wallace, have announced the plans, saying:

“It’s been 16 years since our dad was murdered and we miss him dearly.”

“This project is a great opportunity for us to bridge the gap between our parents, who loved his music, and the kids and young adults our ages, that were not around to really appreciate it.”

Russian bus driver nicknamed ‘The Punisher’ for ramming into cars [VIDEO]

Russian punisher driver

DRIVING is an infuriating pastime at the best of times, with jams, woefully under-maintained roads and worst of all, other drivers. Those swine tailgate you, beep, swear, swerve and cut you up.

One Russian bus driver has got an answer for this bozos and talks to them in a language bad drivers understand – equally dangerous driving. Alexei Volkov has been given the nickname ‘The Punisher’ as he delivers vigilante justice to motorists who cut in front of him.

Teacher lets toddlers drink her blood

teacher blood copy

ONE of the worst things to happen to teaching is the film Dead Poet’s Society. They’ve all watched it and tried to work out how to be groovily different and engage their classes in a way that is authoritative and pally. They want to reach out to the children and connect with them in original, kooky ways and obviously, this thinking can bite them on their tweed arses.

Gun drawn in Jordan’s parliament (Video)

SCRAPS in overseas parliaments are much, much better than the ones we have in England. You see politicians knocking each other out, jumping on desks and shouting ’til their veins burst. In the Commons, you just get a bunch of posh blokes posing at each other and seeing who can piss the highest.

Over in Jordan, parliament had to be stopped when a ruckus broke out MPs yesterday.

WHERE is the best place to hide a gun? If you’re the woman from Ada, Oklahoma, then you would’ve thought the best place to secrete a firearm would be inside your body.

Inside your vagina.

Man United fan calls 999 after Nani sending-off (Arsenal fans might laugh)

Soccer - Manchester United filer

MANCHESTER United fans are a special breed aren’t they? 99% of them are glory hunters who claim not to be glory hunters through some spurious reason or other like, “my dad grew up in Greater Manchester”. Funny how these people don’t support Stockport or Rochdale.

Justin Bieber: The birth of the Super Brat

Justin Bieber in Concert - Manchester

FOR some time now, Justin Bieber has been an arsehole. He’s flipped the bird at photographers, implied that women deserved to be raped, vomited on-stage, been accused of being unfaithful to Selena Gomez, smoked, boozed, not given too frigs if his fans cut themselves and now, he’s turning up late for shows showing incredible contempt for his wickle fans.

Now he’s in his late teens, he’s all set to implode. We advise you get some popcorn in and watch the show.

Scientists disprove ‘beer goggles’, which means you must like kissing ugly people

BEER has been helping ugly people to get laid for years, according to the novelty t-shirt, which may be true, only in that it can lower people’s inhibitions. However, for those of you who have been blaming sex with mingers on beer making people seem more attractive, there’s bad news.

Science has gone and proved what we all knew – you’re a liar.

The greatest rope-swing in the whole world (Video)

EXAGGERATION is key when telling people about the rope-swings of your youth. Of course, some of us did indeed have perilous fun on ropey death-traps, with a variety of injury stories and hilarious swearing that results from landing on your genitals after an aged, withered branch snaps.

However, some people don’t need to hype things up at all. That’s because some people jump off cliffs.

Man swallowed whole by dreadful sinkhole

NATURE has a way of showing mankind just who is boss. Throw all the detritus in the sea and it’ll slap you with a flood. Christ knows what must of happened to result in the poor sod who went missing this week after a large sinkhole opened under the bedroom in Tampa… and he hasn’t been seen since.

Woman complains about racist dog

GETTING bitten by a dog is no fun (yet, those mad berks who work for the police actively run across fields, taunting attack-dogs to have a go at their arms!), but is it less fun if that dog that bites you is a massive racist?

One lady has complained that the dog which chewed her daughter is indeed, a racist.
