About wife beating on national TV
Saudi Cleric Dr. Muhammad Al-'Arifi talks to young Muslims about wife beating in a Ramadhan show. Over there, they do things a little differently. And who are we to judge?

Allegedly, all the cars seen in this video belong to one man. The guys who wrote the article where the video was posted couldn't name the owner.
After a bit more investigation we decided that the most likely candidate is Sham Kar-wai. Sham is the chairman of a company in Hong Kong called IT Limited, which deals in fashion and accessories, and owns the local franchise for French Connection. He started with a single shop 20 years ago and has expanded the business to more than 100 shops across China.
He is as colourful as he is successful. Married to Chingmy Yau, a movie starlet, he has just employed the model Agyness Deyn as the face — and body — of his latest ad campaign. His passion for cars is shared by his friend Aaron Kwok, a well-known singer in Asia. There is some rivalry between the two: Aaron too has an exotic car collection, including a Ferrari F50, Enzo, 599 and F430 and a Lamborghini Murciélago and Gallardo Superleggera.

Look mom, no hands!
A Chinese motorist was pulled over by police for driving with no arms.
Zing Shen, 42, was steering the vehicle with his feet and was amazed when officers decided issue him with a public safety summons.Link
He told the traffic officers he had been driving like that for years after losing both arms below the elbows in an industrial accident.
"He had an automatic so did not need to worry about changing gears and said he had put a lot of practice into learning to control the steering wheel with his legs.
He said he was actually even more careful now with driving than he had been before he lost his arms. He was surprised when we arrested him."
Vicar ends up at the hospital with a potato up his ass
And, of course, claims it was an accident.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told nurses he had been hanging curtains when he fell backwards on to his kitchen table.Link
He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap, said the vicar, who insisted he had not been playing a sex game.>/span>

Lego concentration camp
In the upper-left corner of each box we find the following statement: "This work by Zbigniew Libera has been sponsored by Lego" - as the project was made possible thanks to the bricks presented by the polish department of the Danish company.I wonder if anyone would buy this for their kids.
The work has become an icon and - in various versions - was exhibited in galleries and museum collections across the globe. One of sets was purchased by the Jewish Museum in New York.

Strip joint to sell ads on dancers' bottoms
The dancers will have the 15cm by 10m adverts applied to their bottoms using a stencil and body paints.I wonder how long it's gonna be until they implement Google Adsense.

We have a very diverse selection of customers from all walks of life and are pretty sure they will have never seen anything like this before."
