Close encounter of the turd kind? And what it means to be really pissed off.

I'll start today's posting with a gross pic, from the news section of SingTel Digital Media's insing.com  website:



Just as it happened to me yesterday, I don't seem to be able to pull in the weblink to this story. Anyway, the loo-natic woman in this pic is "planking".

First, there was "flash mobbing" using cellphones. Now, there's planking, in which people with nothing better to do (what we Hokkiens call "jiak pah siew eng") think up all sorts of stunts that require them to be in a sort of prone position. The stunts are then posted on the Net, Facebook, etc. Some may, say, lie down on a moving escalator. But some other bizarre stunts have led to deaths. Sad.

I suppose the woman in the pic did not find the usual mudpack beauty treatment working for her, so she thought a royal flush might work. Just don't go near her. Her breath will take your breath away!

Moving away from this shitty item is another strange story -- about an unusual kind of "mile high" behaviour:

An AFP wire story tells of what the 21-year-old son of New Zealand’s national netball coach did when he got drunk while on a budget airline flight from Auckland to Singapore.

He started to pee in the airplane's aisle, splashing other passengers in the process. What's just as strange was the cabin crew's behaviour as well.

The mother of the culprit apologised on his behalf but added that her son had no memory of the incident. Let off by police with just a warning, he has meanwhile been dubbed “The Urinator” by the New Zealand media.

The airline initially defended the cabin crew’s actions (or lack thereof) but has since admitted that they should have taken stronger action. One passenger said he was watching a movie when he realised there was urine spraying on his jacket and laptop, as well as the scarf of a female passenger.

When he appealed for help, the cabin crew told him to wait until they had finished serving people, then refused to relocate him to another seat. “For the rest of the flight, no one came to ask if I needed anything,” he told one Kiwi newspaper. Boy, I'm sure he was really, really, pissed off.
