Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's car auctioned

Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's car –– an old 1977 Peugeot 504 –– was up for auction on the internet. According to the site, proceeds will go to the construction of homes for the disabled in Tehran (or perhaps a nuke or two!)  Bidding has just closed, so if you did not place a bid to own this gem it's too late! The winner will be announced soon.

They have posted this message, "We would like to inform you that the time to participate in the auction of Dr. Mahmood Ahmadinejad's car is over and soon State Welfare Organization will announce the relevant information about holding the auctions".

I'm betting on Moamer Kadhafi as the winning bidder. He'll be needing a get-away car soon.

Just Dumb!!! The Parents magazine asks: “What Do Parents Magazine and Playboy Have in Common?” – Playboy not amused

Playboy was not that amused and has told them to cease and desist.

Bob Dylan's muse Suze Rotolo dead at 67

Rolling Stone magazine has reported that Suze Rotolo, Dylan's girlfriend in the early 1960s and the woman on the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan died Feb. 24 after a long illness at 67. Rotolo is believed to have inspired many of Dylan's early love songs, including "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "Boots of Spanish Leather" and "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" and been the inspiration for Dylan's politcal songs. They started dating in 1961 when Rotolo was 17. The couple broke up in 1963.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.

Review roundup of the horrible 2011 Academy Awards

Image via Wikipedia

We know they were bad and worse. Here are some of the reviews:

Sean Stangland, Chicago Daily Herald: “Many claimed to find [Kirk] Douglas’ pervy crypt-keeper act to be charming, but I don’t buy it – do I want to say bad things about a 94-year-old stroke victim (and a Hollywood legend to boot)? No. But somebody has to. Douglas had no business being out there, and his delayed reading of the winner’s name was uncomfortable television of the highest order. Leave it to Leo – who I must conclude is a big phony in light of her self-financed Oscar campaign – to make matters worse by attempting to play along and, subsequently, dropping the F-bomb on the air. Simply awful television.”



Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: "This was the worst Oscarcast I’ve ever endured. It’s time for the Board of Governors to have a long, sad talk with itself. At one point I tweeted: “If Bruce Vilanch is within 50 miles of the Kodak Pavilion, they should helicopter his ass backstage and put him to work.” I was quickly put straight. Vilanch, the comedy writer responsible for countless great lines in Oscarcasts past, was a writer on this year’s show. Since Franco and Hathaway lacked a single clever line, there must be an untold story.”


David Edelstein, New York Magazine: “10:48 The coming obits should include a mention of this show.”

Boy kills mom for taking away his PlayStation

Image via Wikipedia

Be warned – this is a sad and sick tale from Philadelphia. Kendall Anderson, 16, got into an argument with his mom. Not uncommon for 16-year-old boys. His mother punished him by taking away his gaming privileges on his PlayStation 3. But Kendall wasn't taking this lying down. When his mom went to sleep, Kendall snuck into her bedroom and bashed her twenty times with a hammer.

Then, he dragged the body to the kitchen and tried to cremate it in the oven. This obviously did not do the job so he bashed her in the head with a chair leg numerous times for good measure and dragged the corpse outside, hiding it under some debris. His final act was to call the police and report her missing. Her body was found two days later.

Kendall is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse. What a sick, sick puppy.
