When proponents of a joke religion get upset about jokes being made about it, you know there's something wrong. Nobody make any jokes about the FSM or we're all in trouble.

Best. Catfight. Ever.

Don't forget to watch the video in order to catch the ever-so-clever tagline: "Astronaughty" (it almost made me cry).

Earlier, Nowak was quoted by police as saying she and Oefelein had something “more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship.”

What can it be? Friendship, pure sex or combo? Man I'm not jealous to her husband - at all!

Btw, here the court has found not guilty humor site which had jokes about jews. Can't remember the details, but as the site had jokes widely, about christians and muslims, etc, they found it legal.

Also lately I remember reading about a site which joked about only christianity and finally they got charged for their content. In the end they, the accused ones, charged church for the commandment, which forbade having other gods or something. Can't remember the details here either. Atheist site anyways. In both cases charges were dropped.

This is truly a WTH moment. Self pedophilia? WTH?

She has been charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography.

I could almost understand the second two charges, but the first one, who did she abuse? Herself?

[A. J. Raffles]

Children who saw the pictures and were traumatised as a result?

[Juni Ori]

Hmm... Those are actually very odd charges. However, I do understand that people need to charge her, but this is very complicated matter...

Charges like that?
They paint a picture about her that is not (Is she a pedophile? Is she non-technically a dealer in child pornography?), and will haunt her the rest of her life. There are barely any worse charges to have you condemned in the public eye, I'd say.

Sounds like brash acting of a girl at the hight of adolescence being turned very bad.

Edit: Looking at the date: "having been turned".

BBC News said:

Cadbury is recalling some of its Easter eggs because they do not carry the correct nut allergy labelling.

The eggs being recalled, which include the Crunchie Easter Egg and Dairy Milk Easter Egg, were made on a line which makes products with nuts in them.

The company said the products were "perfectly safe" for people without nut allergies to eat.

However, those with nut allergies are advised not to eat the eggs as they may contain nuts.

Other products recalled include the Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut Easter Egg and the Cadbury Flake Easter Egg.

Fair enough. Something tells me, however, that people with nut allergies are unlikely to have been purchasing Cadbury's Fruit and Nut easter eggs, with or without the sodding warning message...

But it wouldn't stop them from suing them you know how the lawyers logic is totally twisted.

[Juni Ori]

And that's exactly what's wrong today... However, I'm in very proud position being Finn, where such trials are very rare and even those few have relieved manufacturer of responsibility. One good example of rational legal procedure is that victim gets what he deserves, while the state gets the rest as fine. This significantly reduces stupid and unnecessary trials. Unfortunately, the change is already under way. Media should be kept outside the lawsystem - at max only report different stages of the trial in equal way. However, last time media here screwed this up (though not all), they had to pay compensation to the suspect - who was found not guilty - of murder case (case of Lake Bodom if somebody happens to know).
