Lady In Cow Costume Arrested

In non-Sarah-Palin-related (but equally amusing) news, a woman in Ohio was recently arrested while wearing a cow costume. And yes, she was wearin' it for the mugshots!

According to WKRC in Cincinnati, Michelle Allen was arrested for disorderly conduct for allegedly chasing children, blocking traffic, even peeing on a neighbor's porch - all while wearing the cow suit. Police say she smelled of booze when they arrested her. There's a shocker!

Birds Are Scared Of Amy Winehouse

Or at least her scarecrow doppelganger. A farmer in England has apparently made an Amy Winehouse scarecrow that has been surprisingly effective at keeping birds away from his crops.

The booze and cigarette for Amy Scarehouse were nice touches. Very creative. And hey - he's kinda cute, too!

Slutty Koala Survives Brush With Vehicular Death

This seems like your standard "awww"-inducing, fuzzy animal-related news story...
A koala that cheated death after being hit by a car at 100 kmh (about 60 mph) and dragged with his head jammed through the vehicle grill for 12 kms (about 7 miles) is being dubbed Australia's luckiest marsupial.
...but you need to read it all the way until the end.
Lucky will stay at the hospital, set up by the late television wildlife and crocodile crusader Steve Irwin, for 45 days to recover from his experience and receive treatment for a chlamydial infection.
Maybe that speeding automobile was just God's way of saying that Lucky should've spent a little less time with loose lady koalas. Ha! Yeah right. Chlamydia is one of God's creatures too.

Young and (In)famous

How have I never noticed before that Philly.com has a "Philly's Own Bonnie and Clyde" subsite devoted exclusively to the saga of Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward Anderton? Check out the sensationalized, heinous-looking banner image:

Hideous! It's perfect - a fitting tribute to Philadelphia's most notorious identity thieves. I wish I could moralize about how this isn't really journalism and shit like that, but I think I totally love it.

Dept. of You Can't Make This Shit Up

Holy wow. Everything about this article is amazing. Those BBC newshounds left no innuendo uninnuendoed in writing the masterpiece, so I will excerpt but a snippet here and urge you to read the entire thing:
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish - faggots.

The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
World, meet the faggot-loving Doody family. Yes, you heard me right. No, this was not posted on The Onion. Now go read the whole thing.

[Ed.: So I looked more closely, and the story is from five years ago, but this only makes me wonder how the hell I missed it back then.]
