WTF quote of the day:
It is obvious that the chicken would never have done any of these stunts willingly.
That’s Anuradha Sawhney of PETA, complaining about an SBI commercial featuring a chicken. I have a request for Ms Sawhney. The next time she wishes to protest on behalf of a chicken, I suggest she ask the chicken first.

The colour of balls used in the English one-day game could change from white to pink if trials by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), guardians of the laws of cricket, prove successful.
They are also planning a dress code that will make it mandatory for all cricketers with long hair, such as Mahender Singh Dhoni, to wear a red ribbon on their head.
Ok, fine, I made that second line up. But not the first one.
Donald Kerr, a top intelligence official with the US government, says that citizens need to change their definition of privacy to match the government’s definition, the AP reports.
And what is that definition, according to Kerr:
[P]rivacy, I would offer, is a system of laws, rules, and customs with an infrastructure of Inspectors General, oversight committees, and privacy boards on which our intelligence community commitment is based and measured.
Sigh. If Orwell or Kafka were alive…

“I am the son of Punjab-da-puttar.”
That’s Bobby Deol quoted there, which makes him Punjab da Grandputtar. Lascivious lassi lactates languorously.
It reads like the Onion, but it’s actually an AP report published in the International Herald Tribune: It seems that the Vatican has “issued a set of the ‘Drivers’ Ten Commandments.’” The report tells us about this “unusual document”:
It urged motorists to obey traffic regulations, drive with a moral sense and to pray when behind the wheel.
Anyone who’s been held up behind a particularly slow vehicle because the driver is speaking on his mobile phone will know how bad men are at multi-tasking. My request to all those reading this report would be not to pray while driving. Just drive. Please.
The reporter was also at a news conference given by a gentleman at the Vatican named Cardinal Renato Martino.
He [Cardinal Martino] noted that the Bible was full of people on the move, including Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus – and that his office was responsible for dealing with all “itinerant” people – from refugees to prostitutes, truck drivers to the homeless.
Heh. Now how can the Onion possibly parody this?

Someone just came onto this site after running this search on Google.
Really, what to say now, this is most poignant. Our country, like every other country, certainly has plenty of people seeking love. And many of these people get successful: just consider our population.
In all this, if India Uncut can play a small part, it will be my privilege. Thank you for coming.
Don’t you deny it, this is what every man dreams of:
And for more YouTube fun, below the fold check out a summation of Rajnikant’s magic, so you can forever rest assured that he is a “Boom Boom Boomer” with “a Colgate smile” and “stretchable underwear,” a “cow chewing gum” with a “fuck-fuck finger,” and much more. Tenacious trepidation thunders.
WTF headline of the day: “Hang Modi: Afzal’s diktat to Pratibha.”
Uh, wait, actually it’s “Hang Afzal: Modi’s diktat to Pratibha.”
Same difference. Both Modi and Afzal have no business giving diktats to Patil. Though it is understandable that one of them should have delusions of grandeur. FSM save us all!
