Tasteful gift: Trade Me auction for this Bronze Pole Dancer. “Has Gold sequins on panty area.” (Hat tip: Jeremy Parkinson)
New service: How great would you feel if a real person called you every day to tell you, ‘You’re Awesome’? [Kind of annoyed actually]. With AwesomenessReminders, a real person will call you every day to tell you how much you rock. If you’re not around, they will leave you a voicemail.
Warning! Don’t Look! It’s Disgusting! You won’t believe what department store Sears is selling, declares religiously motivated not-for-profit The American Family Association.
“Sears is content to sell pornography. And, if you are offended, they don’t seem to care. Sears is currently offering giant posters of total nud**y on its website. …”
Hilariously, the site then makes readers click thru numerous hysterical warnings, to get to a bunch of thumbnails. Go here! (Via J-Walk Blog)
Nicely twisted humour: A Japanese ad for a box cutting tool uses a teen girl wrist cutting gag. With copy like, “Let’s go stylish with wrist-cutting. It’s cute. When you cut, it doesn’t hurt that much. The blood becomes tastier.”
Local: TVNZ may have been hoping there was no breaking news this morning after one of their vehicles became stuck outside Rimutaka Prison, says Dan News.
Celebrity: Sean Penn is a scary transvestite.
Video: Stephen Fry on Swearing.

Re the pole dancer – has she lost something?
And apropos of nothing really, I read your Throng banner ad as saying “Whore Ally has the news?” A bit harsh on Ms Mau, I thought…

@Bearhunter: you mean apart from her dignity?… She knows she put it in a hidey hole somewhere…
And who exactly was searching TradeMe for “pole dancer” anyway?

Breasts? That was it… breasts?! The AFA did such a job of raising my prurient expectation they really ought to get a job spruiking outside a strip club.

Yep, I must be jaded. It took a while to realize that I was looking at the scandalous material once I got through all of the warnings.
I had thought they were just more banner ads.
