A Dutch student has provoked an international incident by posting on YouTube a clip of him flashing his penis at the Taj Mahal. The director of his school, the Euro College in Rotterdam, has formally apologised to the Indian Ambassador to Holland. And the school is also considering legal action against the student for damaging their proud reputation, reports GVA. The young man is seen on the clip giggling as he takes his penis out of his trousers. The camera then pans around to show the famous backdrop. The student was suspended immediately when teachers found out about the incident which happened during a school trip to India. |
(This photo is NOT the niece)
The niece of the head of Spain’s Catholic Church has stripped off in a soft porn magazine in protest at her uncle.
Magdalena Rouco Hernández, a 27-year-old mother of two, appears topless on the cover of the May edition of interviú.
Wearing red suspenders and stockings and with her breasts bared, the image will embarrass her uncle, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, 72.
Cardinal Rouco, a close friend of Pope Benedict XVI, leads an ultra conservative wing of the church and has clashed with Spain’s socialist government over issues such as gay marriage and relaxing divorce laws.
But his niece, who told the magazine that she was brought up believing her uncle was “some kind of saint”, accused him of double standards.
“My uncle never tires of repeating that the family is sacred and that you have to respect it. But then he does not respect it and abandons his own,” she said.
“When my father died, [Rouco] did not come to the funeral, didn’t send flowers or tell my mother of his sorrow. He told us he had a meeting with Pope John Paul II, but it was not true.”
Ms Hernández also claimed Cardinal Rouco did not call her family after her mother’s death and failed to help her when her husband lost his job.
“I wanted to lay bare the hypocrisy of my uncle,” she said.
A Norfolk taxi driver ended up stranded after he followed his sat-nav system’s directions - into a river.
The mini-bus driver was on his way to collect a fare in Castle Acre, near King’s Lynn, when he took a wrong turn into the River Nar.
Fortunately he had no passengers aboard -
but he did have the embarrassment of having to ring his bosses for help, reports Lynn News.
Streamline Taxis owners Keith Jarvis and Pat Bowles took along a towrope, expecting to find the eight-seater minibus just off the ford.
But Mr Jarvis said:
“It took ages to find him and we couldn’t believe it when we saw where he was - it was several hundred yards along the river!
“The vehicle still had its engine running and headlights on, and he was sitting in it with his trousers rolled up round his knees.
I shone a torch in the river and there were fish swimming around the headlights.”
Pat Bowles added:
“Normal people would stop and back out but because his sat-nav told him to keep going that’s what he did.
“I don’t think he did think until he couldn’t go any further.”
Ms Bowles said it had given the driver’s colleagues plenty of amusement:
“He’s had taxi drivers going into the office with snorkels on.
“We’ve also had phones calls, texts coming through asking if they can book river trips.”
A US woman has been arrested after chasing her boyfriend with a knife after thinking he was an actor in a porn movie, ANANOVA reports.
The victim says it all started when he and his girlfriend were inside his Albuquerque home watching the movie together.
He says 20-year-old Amanda Moya suddenly decided he was an actor in the film and went for him with a knife, reports KOB.com.
“She almost shanked me and everything.
She put the knife right under my throat,” the victim told a 911 operator.
The victim, wearing only a pair of shorts, ran outside and down the road, still talking to the emergency service operator on his mobile phone.
He said Moya had already stabbed him in the face and bitten him on his chest.
The dispatcher told the victim to keep running and try to get inside a store. He finally managed to flag down a deputy who was responding to his distress call.
Deputies arrested Moya and charged her with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
She was also charged with child abuse because deputies say she left her eight-month-old boy alone in the home while she chased her boyfriend down the road.
George weighed 2.2kg (4.8lb) when staff at the Wildlife Aid Centre in Leatherhead, Surrey, discovered him in a volunteer’s garden, ANANOVA reports.
He was put on a high protein diet in November before starting a daily exercise regime in February, reports the BBC.
He now weighs 1.7kg (3.7lb) shedding 500g (1.1lb) on the strict diet.
Becky Banning, General Manager at the Wildlife Aid Centre, said George had originally grown overweight due to eating high fat foods intended for birds.
“Hedgehogs normally feed on whatever they find in the garden, so George was picking up peanuts and bread.
“Now he’s on a strict food regime, so he’s fed cat food once a day in the evening, and no bread,” she said.
“It’s the hedgehog equivalent of the Atkins diet, and it’s about keeping him away from the fat and giving him more protein,” she added.
Staff at the Wildlife Aid centre said the average adult hedgehog should weigh between 600 and 700g (1.3 and 1.5lbs).
They expect George to reach that weight in 4 to 5 months.
