evil news

My favorite is the first one –

A SLICE OF LIFE
=================================
The latest item to hit your grocery store shelves will be sliced peanut-butter. The slices are individually wrapped like slices of cheese.
This comes at great news to those for whom spreading peanut butter manually presented them with an emotional cost that was simply too high.

Man Trapped for 80 Hours in Portable Toilet
=================================
A man was trapped for more than three sweltering days in a portable toilet after fleeing from muggers, a newspaper said on Tuesday.
“He screamed again and again for help and banged against the walls, but nobody heard him because it was on a very busy crossroads,” a policeman was quoted as saying.

Fatties Eat Extra Seat
=================================
This could be a fat tax of a different kind. No, this isn’t the one that gets floated now and again by health groups, suggesting everything from chocolate bars to fast-food burgers be slapped with an additional government levy to discourage their consumption.
This is the “tax” that the vast majority of airline travellers would have to pay so that obese individuals can get two seats for the price of one. Surely no one thinks that the airline would just absorb the cost of that seat. Nope, they’ll spread the cost around by making all the other passengers pay a little extra.
At least, that’s what might happen if Linda McKay-Panos, a civil liberties lawyer, gets her way. A few years back, Air Canada charged McKay-Panos half-price for a second seat. She sued and has managed to get the Canadian Transportation Agency to hold a hearing this fall on whether obesity constitutes a disability under the Canadian Transportation Act. If it does, the agency would likely allow obese passengers to get two seats for the price of one.

Nudie Kids Club
=================================
Nickelodeon’s popular children’s magazine is raising some eyebrows this month.
The cover of the August issue looks innocent, but it’s the article on page 24 that’s making some parents blush.
The article focuses on a nudist who answers questions.

Grandpa’s Got The AIDS
=================================
Lou Constantine is 55 years old, single and — like many people his age — sexually active. The Germantown resident is also typical of 50-plus singles in another way: He doesn’t practice safe sex and doesn’t think he needs to. Like many sexually active seniors, he doesn’t think he’s at risk for HIV. Constantine is nevertheless part of the one of the country’s fastest-growing AIDS demographics — heterosexuals 50 and older.

Sex Slave Trade in India
=================================
When Bharti Tapas was 14, she says she was sold into slavery, beaten and forced into prostitution. “When I arrived at the brothel, I refused to do what they told me to and they beat me and starved me for 10 days,” says the softspoken girl. “I thought I would rather kill myself than be forced to work as a prostitute.”
She was just a schoolgirl when she found herself in Bombay, along with thousands of other girls who are beaten, locked in tiny cages or hidden in attics. Some are forced to have sex with as many as 20 men a day under the watchful eyes of madams and pimps.
“They are not given enough to eat. There are no beds. They have to sleep on the floor. Sometimes they are raped,” says Ruchira Gupta, a social worker and documentary filmmaker who spent months investigating the horrors of Bombay’s brothels for her film The Trafficking of Innocents.
