News That's Fit To Punt 15/05/09

Small Neighborhood, Bad Karma

This story is plain sad.
TAIPEI - A Taiwan carpenter bought a porn DVD only to find secretly taped motel footage of his wife having sex with his friend, whom the husband later stabbed, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The husband, identified only by his surname Lee, discovered the illicit sex on the DVD in 2002. The sexual acts apparently had been recorded using a hidden camera and were on a pornographic DVD, titled Affairs with Others' Wives, which the husband bought from a vendor to watch at home.

Lee, who lives in Taoyuan County near Taipei, divorced his wife after viewing the DVD. His friend, a butcher, fled their village.

In August 2008, Lee spotted the butcher in Chungli City, returned with a knife and stabbed his former friend in the thigh.

You feel sorry for all participants. How unlucky would you be, to be any of these people?

Viagra For Free For The Unemployed
I'm not sure that this is exactly what the unemployed need, but here you go.
Pfizer is unveiling a new program that will let people, who have lost their jobs and health insurance, keep taking some widely prescribed Pfizer medications - including Lipitor and Viagra - for free for up to a year.

The world's biggest drug maker will provide more than 70 of its prescription drugs at no cost to unemployed, uninsured Americans, regardless of their prior income, who lost jobs since January 1 and have been on the Pfizer drug for three months or more.

The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession and a campaign in Washington to rein in health-care costs and extend coverage.

The move could earn Pfizer some goodwill in that debate after long being a target of critics of drug industry prices and sales practices.

The program will also probably help keep those patients loyal to Pfizer brands.

"Everybody knows now a neighbour, a relative who has lost their job and is losing their insurance. People are definitely hurting out there," said Jorge Puente, Pfizer's head of pharmaceuticals outside the US and Europe and a champion of the project. "Our aim is to help people bridge this point."

The first thing that popped into my mind was that wanting free viagra was probably the least important thing on Matthew Johns' mind right now.

More Sporting Scandals

This time it's the A-League. It involves a 20year old rising star Sebastain Ryall, who is accused of fondling a 13 year old girl when he was 18.
Sydney FC and Australian under 20s player Sebastian Ryall has been stood down by Football Federation Australia after being charged with engaging in a sexual act with a 13-year-old girl, the FFA said in a statement today.

The charge arises out of an incident that allegedly took place at Mona Vale on January 25, 2008, when Ryall was aged 18.

Ryall first faced court  on August 13 last year, and is expected to face Downing Centre Local Court in October.

Ryall, who was scheduled to leave on Saturday with the Australian under-20 team for a camp in the Netherlands, recently transferred to Sydney from Melbourne Victory.

He has been suspended from participation in football matches in Australia, including the A-League, until September 3 and is also ineligible to participate in national team competition until the criminal case has been determined, or September 2009, whichever is the later.

That's just so wrong, isn't it? It's certainly enough to make A-Rod and Barry Bonds  and Roger Clemens look like normal, decent people. ...Wait a minute, Roger Clemens is meant to have fucked an under-aged country-western singer so scratch him off that list.
