The 10 Best Borat Skits of All-Time
Word around the campfire last spring was that Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan had been shelved indefinitely because the studio thought it sucked. Now, with dramatic movies, a retreating release date is a sure sign of a cinematic shit stain, but with comedies it sometimes means that the jokes are so brilliant that they fly over the heads of the studio bosses (see Wet Hot American Summer, Office Space, Idiocracy). And judging from the episodes of Da Ali G Show that take place in LA, Sacha Baron Cohen’s sense of humor has the potential to be too smart for certain rooms on the left coast.
So basically, we didn't know what to think. And then the rumors started floating in. First, we heard that at a private screening with Director Larry Charles, Larry David became sick from laughing so hard. Then we heard that it absolutely brought down the house at the Toronto Film Festival. And with the recent rash of genuinely hilarious publicity stunts, we’ve officially made up our minds. But before he enters the comedy pantheon, we thought we’d take a look back at our favorite Borat sketches from the days of Da Ali G Show.

Court says yes to breasts
In what might just be one of the most important legal decision in Florida's history – almost certainly more important than the ones that gave George Bush the presidency in 2000 - a court has upheld a woman's right to mount political protests by exposing her breasts.
Elizabeth Book was arrested for baring her breasts in 2004, under a law that banned acts of indecency in public, including women going topless
The law she was protesting against, of course, was the same anti-toplessness law under which she was arrested.
While the court made no judgement on the rights or wrongs of the law against women showing their breasts, it did decide that if women were showing their breasts as part of a legitimate political protest against laws banning women from showing their breasts, then they were allowed to show their breasts.

Canada troops battle 10-ft Afghan marijuana plants
Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of 10-feet (three metre) high marijuana plants.
General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defence staff, said on Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices ... and as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa.

Can you pimp an inflatable sex doll?
South Korea's finest have a bit of poser on their hands: does the pimping of inflatable sex dolls breach the country's anti-prostitution laws?
We should explain that, according to news site Chosun.com, Korean punters have developed a taste for "doll experience rooms", paying 25,000 won per hour (a tad over 14 quid, by our reckoning) for use of bed, computer, and pneumatic hussy. The market for the latter apparently took off after the Special Law on Prostitution came into effect in 2004, banning the sale of real flesh for purposes of sexual gratification.

A FOUR-year-old boy has been accused of sexually assaulting several girls at an exclusive pre-school.
The boy has been withdrawn from the early learning centre in southeast Melbourne pending the outcome of a Department of Human Services investigation that began late last week.
The centre's principal said "a number" of students were allegedly assaulted and he had told parents and DHS.
The Herald Sun has been told at least five girls from two classes of 14 aged three and four were attacked in the centre's toilets and playground over two weeks.
A source said the boy had been voluntarily withdrawn by his parents after they were told of the sexual assault allegations against their son.
The school's principal said the number of victims reported was incorrect.
At least one student needed medical attention after she was assaulted.

Red Light Lands Screech Sex Tape
Red Light District has obtained the rights to distribute an amateur sex tape that stars former "Saved by the Bell" child star Dustin Diamond, aka "Screech," Red Light Distribution President, David Joseph, has confirmed.
Joseph told AVN.com that the company is planning to release the tape on Nov. 6. The title, which will be called Screeched, will be 51 min. and, like Red Light’s previous celebrity sex tapes, will include four or five Red Light District bonus scenes.
Joseph went on to say that he was approached recently by Phoenix-based celebrity sex tape distributor, David Hans Schmitt, who acquired the tape a few weeks ago.
Diamond, who shot the tape himself, is seen in a threesome in the video with two other unidentified women, including the performance of the much-mythed Dirty Sanchez (which involves the smearing of fecal matter — sometimes a mixture of fecal matter and semen — under the nose of the receptive partner after anal sex, either with a finger or the penis).

Ukrainian Company To Sell Musical Condoms
A Ukrainian firm has designed musical condom which plays music while in use. The prophylactic also boasts the ability to play music louder and faster as lovers reach a climax.
Grigoriy Chausovsky, from Zaporozhye, Ukraine and the designer of the condom said his contraceptive is fitted with a special sensor that registers when the condom is put on during lovemaking.
He said the latex device transmits a signal to a miniature speaker at the base of the condom which plays a melody.
Chausovsky told local media, "As the sex becomes more passionate, it registers the increased speed of the movements and plays the melody faster and louder."
Scroll Pan - Roll-up Frying Pan
Even though I rarely ever cook I still seem to have a kitchen filled with various pots and pans that like to get in the way. Since they’re all made of metals, a material that is notoriously difficult to fold they tend to take up more space than I’d like.
The Scroll Pan designed by Sam Hextall was created for the specific purpose of providing a usable cooking surface that could also be reduced in size for easy storage. The pan rolls up on each handle not unlike a paper scroll would, and can then be stored in a hanging sleeve to keep it out of the way when not being used.
And even though the Scroll Pan is clearly just a concept at this time the designer does suggest that products like diphenyl silicone which is plasma treated and teflon coated could be used to make an actual working model.

Sex Offender Found Living In Hole Behind Elementary School
A sex offender wanted by the Virginia State Police was arrested after he was found in a wooded area behind Mary Lee Clark Elementary School, where he was apparently living in a hole, according to a WJXT-TV report.

Death Penalty Sought In Videotaped Sex Killing
Prosecutors in Missouri said they would seek the death penalty for a couple charged with murder in one case and also facing charges in a videotaped sex killing.
A Clay County grand jury on Tuesday handed up a murder indictment against Richard Davis and Dena Riley in the strangling and suffocation death of Michelle Ricci. Her remains were found in May in a wooded area in rural Clay County.
Prosecutors said the couple's criminal history was a factor in their decision to pursue the death penalty.
The two are also charged with murder, kidnapping, sodomy, rape and assault in the videotaped sexual assault and strangling of Marsha Spicer in Independence.
Prosecutors haven't decided whether to pursue the death penalty in that case.
Clay County Prosecutor Dan White filed papers Tuesday in the case against Davis and Riley.

Oakland police call it a torture chamber that frightened even veteran detectives. They say a 41-year-old roofer turned his basement into something out of "Silence of the Lambs," where he killed one woman and beat others. He was arrested Wednesday night.
