Sutherland Burns Bauer
From the Suicide Girls News Wire.
Landmark TV drama 24 is popping up everywhere lately: billboards, bus stops, pop-up windows, bathroom stall advertisements...
And now, after last weekend's two-night, sixth-season premiere, one can expect Kiefer Sutherland and Co. to launch a multi-media advertising assault that'll leave you exhausted years after Jack Bauer rescues America (again). But perhaps the most enjoyable news about 24 circulating the Web involves the long-lost, Jack Bauer action figure from McFarlane Toys that fell off the radar for unknown reasons. Well, it seems Sutherland came clean and admitted to accidentally setting the mini-Kiefer protoype ablaze during a night of drunken celebration.
Sutherland explains, "They tried to come out with one a couple of years ago and they had sent me the doll for my approval... We took the doll out for a night to have some fun and we'd had some drinks. We sat it on the corner of the table. "We started torturing him around 11 o'clock at night, and, by two o'clock in the morning, we had set him on fire in the parking lot. "We got up the next day and there was just this puddle of wax. His clothes didn't burn, which I thought was pretty cool... and then I got a call the next day saying, 'Did you like the doll?' I said, 'Yeah, it was great.' And they said, 'Well, OK, good, you gotta send it back to us because that was the prototype... It took that guy a year to make it.' "I said, 'Well, let me look for it, I think I left it in the trailer.' This went on for about a week and then I had to just kinda come clean."
A clone of the original toy can be expected on shelves this August.

Spain's PM admits Eta 'mistake'
Spain's prime minister says he made a "clear mistake" by being too optimistic about the prospect of peace talks with the Basque separatist group Eta.
Full story at BBC News.
I'm just happy to hear a world leader admitting they made a mistake. It makes such a change from the usual denials, rewriting of history, moving of goalposts and out and out lying they usually come up with.
Speaking of denials, rewriting of history, moving of goalposts and out and out lying I also applaud the efforts of "130 international charities, churches and NGOs (that) have written to the prime minister to demand he re-open the Serious Fraud Office investigation into the UK's arms deals with Saudi Arabia."

Rice denies US 'escalating Iraq'
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has denied that the US intends to escalate the war in Iraq by confronting Iranian groups operating there.
Full story at BBC News.
I've been trying for weeks now to find the words to explain my opinion on the whole 'Iran is country with nuclear weapons who are helping terrorists' argument and I've brought it down to this simple statement: "I don't believe a word of this bullshit."

Saddam Kills Americans from Beyond the Grave
"HOUSTON — Police and family members said a 10-year-old boy who died by hanging himself from a bunk bed was apparently mimicking the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein."

It's probably a good job he died, after all he's probably the sort of person who'd grow up to rape someone after watching Irreversible or going on a killing spree after playing Grand Theft Auto.
Idiots. Fox that is, not the kid.
