Driven to distraction

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 pm

A German bus driver was so distracted by a female passenger’s cleavage he threatened to throw her off the bus.
Dobora C claimed the driver told her to sit out of his view because he couldn’t concentrate.
The 20-year-old said: "Suddenly he stopped the bus.
"He opened the door and shouted at me, ‘Your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can’t concentrate on the traffic. If you don’t sit somewhere else, I’m going to have to throw you off the bus.’ " Dobora said she moved to another seat and felt humiliated by the incident.
However, a spokesman for the bus company defended the driver, saying: "The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing. A bus driver cannot be distracted because it’s a danger to the safety of all the passengers."

Prostitute graduate

New Zealand education officials are considering funding tertiary courses in prostitution.
Changes in how the Tertiary Education Commission is funded have been discussed, and it has been revealed institutions will be bulk funded on the basis of agreed three-year plans rather than the number of students enrolled on the courses.
Tertiary Education Minister Michael Cullen has said the changes are aimed at increasing the "quality and relevance" of courses.
TEC chief executive Janice Shiner said under the new system a request to provide prostitution courses would be assessed against the same criteria as any other course.

Shop dog

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 pm

A Taiwan shopkeeper claims his dog can serve customers.
The owner believes his pet pooch, known as Hello, is so intelligent that she can do many things humans are capable of.
He said: "She knows how to open the fridge, pick up the pinang (batal nuts), and put it on the counter, then collect the money from the customers. Many people just come to be served by her." The owner claims Hello goes shopping by herself, carrying a plastic bag, containing a shopping list and money, in her mouth.
Her owner says the only problem is that on hot days she prefers to stay in the cool shop rather than go home.
He told The China Daily News: "Every time she goes shopping in summer, I tell her beforehand, ‘Come home early, don’t stay there for the coolness’."

Smoking safe sex

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 pm

An Indian firm has created a condom which tastes like chewed tobacco especially for prostitutes.
Hindustan Latex is targeting the paan-flavoured prophalactic - which tastes like the pungent betel nut and tobacco concoction chewed by millions of South Asians - at prostitutes, as they are among the most vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.
The company tested prototype flavours including, chocolate, banana and strawberry, on sex workers but paan proved the most popular.
Sanjeev Gaikwad, director of Family Health International, said: "The community loved it as most of the sex workers chew paan." Paan condoms will initially only be available to prostitutes, but will we launched to the general public in a few months.
Paan is a mildly intoxicating preparation wrapped in a leaf which is chewed to a mouth-staining red pulp before being spat out.
