Time to get some new senators, France
The French senate voted to ban the burqa, 246-1. I don’t think it’s possible for a public, political body to be more hateful than when it singles out a group for such arbitrary punishment, on clearly xenophobic grounds.

Top Gear on the Stephen Fry-ness of Ferrari's 458
Richard Hammond: Let me just get this straight in, like, evolutionary terms. Ferrari started with, like, an amoeba, and then they evolved a bit to plankton, and then some sort of creature that crawled out of the slime--that's where James bought in, that's the Ferrari he bought...

Message to Britain: Fuck Your Pensions →
Okay Britain, we’ll stop complaining about the destruction of the Gulf and its coastal areas, because we all know that your fucking investment-backed pensions, many of which depend on the financial success of BP, are far more important. The funny thing is, I haven’t heard a single person I know base their criticism of BP on anti-British sentiment, or use it as an excuse to bash the...
