I really had a blast watching this commercial. It’s a commercial for a low fat tuna in Thailand. The girl transformed from hottie to ugly. This commercial was probably a hit in Thailand.

The girl here looked really hot, with long legs and small waistline but as soon as the elevator door closed, she transformed. Funny!

She could well be a ladyboy. Hehehe.

IT’s just unfortunate I can’t embed videos on this blog. Just click on the photo to see the video.

Have fun!

American Airlines lost Faith, then finds Faith again!

Faith, the famous two-legged dog, was lost but was back with her owner after a few hours. She and her owner, Jude Stringfellow, were on their way to Oklahoma City from Orlando, with a stop over in Dallas. They had a problem with their flight from Dallas to OKC so they had to take another flight. It was only when Stringfellow landed in Oklahoma City, Faith was missing. He learned that Faith was in a different flight. Due to some glitch in the computer, Faith wasn’t able to take the same flight as Stringfellow. This got Stringfellow nervous and worried, but he “never lost faith”.

In Faith’s website, Stringfellow relates his experience with American Airlines, how the airlines made a mistake in booking Faith, how he couldn’t turn on the TV so his family wouldn’t know their dog was missing. He even mentioned what one AA crew told him about another incident that happened last year wherein AA flight crew member put a dog on the wrong flight and the flight the dog was placed on also carried dry ice. The dog was dead when it was recovered. Scary!
Faith’s back in her family’s arms again. AA is investigating the mishap.

A fishing crew from New Zealand has caught a colossal squid that could weigh a half-ton and prove to be the biggest specimen ever landed, a fisheries official said. The squid, weighing an estimated 990 lbs and about 39 feet long, took two hours to land in Antarctic waters, New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said.

The fishermen were catching Patagonian toothfish, “and the squid was eating a hooked toothfish when it was hauled from the deep,” Anderton said.

Colossal squid, scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, can grow up to 46 feet long and have long been one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep ocean. These are found in the Artic waters but are not related to the giant squid found in the coast of New Zealand. A giant squid can grow up to 39 feet long but not as heavy as the colossal squid.

The creature, known as a colossal squid (scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) and is thought to be the largest squid ever found anywhere in the world, weighing an estimated 450kg, 150kg heavier than the next biggest specimen ever found.

Iran is launching a women-only taxi company and soon, women-only tourism island.

According to the Tehran-e Emrouz newspaper, this island will be in a northwest province of Iran, on the Urumiyeh lake in Western Azerbaijan province.

Under Iran’s strict Islamic law, men and women are not supposed to mix in public, much less have women in bathing suits mix with men in a public beach. “There will be no men on the Arezou (Wish) island. Public transport, restaurants and other facilities will be staffed only by women,” a municipality official identified only as Aghai said.

Having this sort of set up will allow Islamic women enjoy the beach, where they can remove their headscarves and wear swim suits. Women have forced their way into the national sports stadium, defying strict sex segregation. There are a few public places for women only.

Strict Islamic laws require women to wear loose coats and headscarves to cover their entire body and head hair.

A man was fired by IBM for visiting and adult chatroom while at work, now is suing this company for $5 million. He says that he is addicted to the internet and deserves treatment and sympathy from the company rather than dismissal.

Whoa!

In papers filed in federal court in White Plains, James Pacenza, 58, of Montgomery, said he visits chat rooms to treat traumatic stress he got from witnessing his best friend killed during an Army patrol in Vietnam in 1969. The stress caused him to become “a sex addict, and with the development of the Internet, an Internet addict.” He is using the American with Disabilities Act to claim protection. His lawyer, Michael Diederich, says Pacenza never violated any written IBM rule and did not surf the Internet any more or any differently than other employees. He says IBM age discrimination was a big factor in his removal.
IBM Corp. said its policices on visiting sexual websites during work were clear and that Pacenza was warned earlier that he could lose his job for his actions. Pacenza denies this.
IBM denies age discrimination.
According to a nationwide study by Stanford University, up to 14% of computer users reported neglecting work, school, families, food and sleep to use the Internet. Study’s director, Dr. Elias Aboujaoude, said then that he was most concerned about the numbers of people who hide their non-essential Internet use or use the Internet to escape a negative mood, much in the same way that alcoholics might.

Another high school prank gone bad. Minnesota authorities, not amused by the joke, have charged the alleged high school prankster with two felonies for serving laxative laced brownies causing several students and school staff a lot of discomfort and embarrassment.

The Lyle High School student mixed brownies with laxatives and served them to some students and school staff last week. Later that day, seven employees and five students suffered symptoms of discomfort, diarrhea, stomach cramps and bloody stools. If these people have had bloody stools then Orth must have put a lot of laxative in the brownies. Kinda like the image I found on HelloCrazy.

Collin Orth, eighteen years old, has been charged with felony adulteration resulting in bodily harm, this carries a $20,000 fine plus a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Aside from adulteration resulting in bodily harm, Orth is also facing a charge of felony adulteration not resulting in bodily harm. Orth admitted to buying the laxatives and making the brownies. He must appear in Mower County Court on March 19, according to authorities.
