A day late, but WTF?
Woolies Pulls 'Lolita' Bed After Protest
Woolworths has landed itself in trouble over the suggestive naming of a bedroom set aimed at young girls.
The 'Lolita' name has been withdrawn after an internet row erupted with mothers who objected to the branding.
Lolita is the title of the Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, about a middle-aged man who became sexually obsessed with his 12-year-old step-daughter.
But staff at Woolworths were not aware of the connection.
"What seems to have happened is the staff who run the website had never heard of Lolita," said a Woolworths spokesman.
Like Yeah! That's where today's education system is taking us :-(
Chavs ruling the world. WTF?

Shouldn't
...being alive be proof enough that you're..ermm...alive. Apparently not in Poland.
WARSAW - Red tape is preventing a Polish man from returning from the dead.
Piotr Kucy, 38 and from the city of Polkowice in southwest Poland, was wrongly identified by authorities last August as a drowned man, only to show up a few days after his own funeral.
Despite pointing out the fact that he was alive to government officials, Kucy still remains dead in official records, stopping him from working and paying social insurance.
But on the bright side, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday, he no longer needs to pay taxes.
"We are nearly through January, and my documents still say I'm dead," Kucy told Gazeta Wyborcza, adding: "It's a bit of a joke." But a registry office official was adamant about the situation. "This citizen does not exist," she told the paper.
Now, unless he's taken on the appearance of the unfortunate undead soul above, was missing such vital signs as a pulse and blood pressure you'd think they'd have no trouble getting him back on the Alive list. WTF? Polish dudes?

WHATS THE BEST THEY THOUGHT COULD HAPPEN?
It is stating the blindingly obvious, but just to be absolutely crystal clear – alcohol and red-hot pokers do not mix .Anyone who needs more guidance on why they are mutually exclusive can turn to YouTube where a couple of self-styled 'pranksters' have posted a graphic demonstration. The pair – known only at 'Neil & Bert drunk in St Austell' – take part in a Jackass-style stunt after they have obviously had a few. Of course, anybody who's ever lived in St. Austell will be able to confirm that the agony of branding yourself with a red-hot poker is nothing compared to the agony of living in St. Austell. The (thankfully) blurry 75-second video shows one of the jokers holding a poker over some glowing embers before branding his mate's buttock. Unsurprisingly, this causes a good deal of pain – and leaves a large black burn. Amid the shrieks of agony, someone in the background assures the victim: 'You can't even see it.'. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents yesterday warned against copying the stunt. "It's pretty obvious that if you heat a piece of metal and place it on your skin it's going to do you some damage and cause you discomfort", said a spokesman.

A dangerous prank quite literally backfired and landed a 22-year-old squaddie in hospital with a scorched colon – after he stuck a firework up his bottom.
The soldier inserted a rocket in a place definitely not recommended by the Fireworks Code and, as onlookers cheered, lit the blue touchpaper.
The prankster, who has not been named but who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, was badly burned.
Witness Daniel Kassim, 16, said: 'There were around 40 of us after the bonfire had finished.
'This lad was saying, “This is boring, what can we do?”. He then put a rocket up his backside and set light to it.
'Everyone was laughing and didn't believe he'd do it. He pulled his trousers down and it exploded within seconds.
'No one thought he was hurt. But then he stood up and walked a few metres before stumbling and falling to the ground. There was quite a bit of blood.'
Police and paramedics were called to the Monkwearmouthon area of Sunderland after the stunt on Sunday.
The victim was taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital where he is having treatment for internal injuries.
Onlookers said the man was mimicking a scene from Jackass where the character Steve-O shoots a firework from his rear.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents reiterated its warnings about the dangers of playing with fireworks.
'It's very sad that this person had to learn about the dangers posed in this way,' it said.
Chasing Pussy
A cat was snooping around its new flat in Austin, Texas, when it came across a gap in the wall.
The woman who owns the feline remarked on it to her friend, who put his hand into the gap and found a number of DVDs apparently hidden by the apartment's previous occupant Luis Jimenez. Turns out the DVDs were full of child porn and Jiminez could now face up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000 :-)

Dead But Alive

But a registry office official was adamant about the situation. 'This citizen does not exist,' she told the paper.
So does this mean he can commit crimes and not be charged, you can't charge a someone who is dead now can you!!! I could think of a few things that I would do if it was me!
