Have You Seen This Man?

This E-Fit sketch of a man thought to have killed a taxi driver has been making headlines all over the Internet.

It is thought to be the worst E-Fit sketch ever, with it being compared to the likes of the scarecrow out of the Wizard of Oz. It was apparantly drawn by a female witness. Despite the picture being that of a bit of a laughing stock and highly criticised, the police have surprisingly arrested a man in connection wirth the murder. However, laws in the country of Bolivia where the crime took place state that they are not allowed to reveal the identity of the man they have arrested.

I take it he has no ears then?

I think that the sketch is quite funny, but you have to feel sorry for the witness who apparantly drew it. She must have been through enough trauma without having to listen to people making a mockery out of her sketch too. At the end of the day, the police have arrested someone, which makes the witness a bit of a hero in my book.

Football Player Breaks Wind In Ref’s Face

It’s only a short story, but this made me chuckle.

Footballer Levi Foster was going to get sent off before the football match had even started, as he farted in the ref’s face whilst having his boots checked before kick off! He managed to beg the ref into changing it into just a caution, however both sides were in hysterics. I bet the ref didn’t see the funny side of it though, Levi claims he had ate a curry the night before!

Funnily enough, he went on to get the man of the match award after the game.

must have been the curry...

The Downside Of Social Networking…

Stephen Fry has 'retired' from Twitter due to some hurtful tweets.

I am a sucker for using social networking sites, these include various forums, Facebook and Twitter. I find that most forums, apart from one or two that i’m a regular on, contain 50% idiots and 50% nice people. The few that i am a regular on are very respectable forums – hence why i’m a regular!

Anyway, the reason i bring all this up, is because Stephen Fry has threatened to leave Twitter today, as he finds some peoples words on there harsh and hurtful. Now, i don’t know EXACTLY what was said to him, but i totally feel his pain as i know that it’s a common problem to find yourself being bullied online. How anyone can have the nerve to insult him anyway is just beyond me – he’s one of my favourite personalities on TV and has been around for years…most people on Twitter aren’t even fit enough to tie his shoe laces. I find it very dissapointing that this has happened, because i saw him not so long ago on a chatshow here in the UK speaking about how much he adores Twitter . Now this person has obviously gone and ruined all of that joy for him.

I myself have been caught out on social networking sites. Not only have i been on the receiveing end of insults, but i do admit to giving the odd one out now and again. I did recently pay the price for that however and have since apologised…

I find it pretty weird how we can now be open to insults whilst just sitting here in our living rooms, minding our own business, browsing the Internet. I remember when i was younger, the only chance of me receiving an insult was if i left the house or did something at home to irritate the family…they were insults from ‘real’ people, not people who think they’re big because they’re typing to you through a box – but would they dare say those things to your face? I think not.

Then there are the horrid stories you hear on the news about children being abducted and abused via these networking sites, and it just makes you start to really fear for the future doesn’t it? It makes me think that the world was such a better place without computers, and that in years to come things will only start to get worse when we start to rely on computers for EVERYTHING in life…even school  teachers won’t exist in years to come – i get the feeling everything will be computerized.

Anyway, i would just like to ask anyone who is on twitter to let Mr Fry know that he is loved and that we all want him back! You can do that by using the hashtag #stephenfrymuststay . Here are some people who have already done this, me included  http://twitter.com/search?q=%23stephenfrymuststay#search?q=%23stephenfrymuststay

Play safe.
