The Monopoly Board Game....But not as you know it!

Monopoly is a game we all know and love! Here are some examples of the weird Monopoly variants that have been produced.....

In Anti-Monopoly, players play either by monopoly or competition rules fixed at the beginning of the game: COMPETITORS … charge fair rents, build as soon as they own a property, put five houses on their properties and occasionally go to Price War. MONOPOLISTS… extort monopoly-high rents from their poor tenants, build only after they have monopolized a color grouping, restrict supply by putting only four houses on their properties and occasionally go to Prison.

The game was obviously created to make a political statement more than anything, but if you’re not a fan of the practices of some big corporations, you can get a copy of Anti-Monopoly here:Anti-Monopoly

About Ghettopoly:
"Buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses and projects, paying protection fees and getting car jacked are some of the elements of the game. Not dope enough?...If you don't have the money that you owe to the loan shark you might just land yourself in the Emergency Room.

Not dope enough?...If you don't have the money that you owe to the loan shark you might just land yourself in the Emergency Room."

Production of this game is now TERMINATED. This is due to the game being banned for its racist undertones and also the creators of Ghettopoly were about to be sued by the orginal makers of the Monopoly Game, Hasbro.

About Gayopoly:

"Play the ultimate tourist and own a gay monopoly! We're queer, we're here, we're everywhere! The game for today! We're running for office, we're parents, we're business owners. All this, while going to the gym, maxing out our credit cards, singing too loud while driving our car and using your cell phone!"

Outrage over Racist Comic Books!

A Mexican comic was pulled from the shelves of a Texas Wal-Mart after a customer complained. The Memin Pinguin first sparked controversy in the US when Mexico issued a postage stamp featuring the character which the White House decreed as offensive.

The global media is lashing out on the Spanish language illustrations which depict the stories of a Cuban-Mexican boy living under conditions of extreme poverty.

The illustrations depict the main character "Memin" with monkey-like features and when he’s bullied at school, the other children call him ‘Negro.’

Even in the age of the internet, over 100,000 issues of Memin Pinguin are sold a week.

Car Advert made of MONEY placed in Central London - Lasts just 30 Minutes!

Credit-crunched Londoners grabbed pocketfuls of pennies yesterday at the launch of a 20-foot billboard advert made entirely from one-pence coins. The unique installation – made using over 20,000 pennies – only lasted 30 minutes as hundreds of opportunistic passers-by seized their moment to pick up a penny or two.

The penny billboard was unveiled in London’s New Oxford Street to advertise the 769,500-pence starting price of the new Chevrolet Aveo.

Things like this make me embarrassed to be a Londoner! I mean what is the point of taking a sack load of pennies? Not only will they weigh you down, but you also couldn’t even buy a cup of coffee with the proceeds? Its nothing but greed and opportunism! WTF people of London?

Unbelievably Uncombable Hair Syndrome

Yes Uncombable hair syndrome is a real affliction, i did'nt make it up! But like you, when i saw it....i giggled, well up until i realised that is was REAL and that some people really do suffer with this....so you can stop giggling now!

So i present to you the horrors of UNCOMBABLE HAIR SYNDROME

So it is in fact a genetic syndrome. Apparently it affects (among other things) the cross-sectional shape of each hair, making it triangular or kidney-shaped instead of round. This causes hair that has the consistency of spun glass--and in fact, that's one of the common names of this syndrome, "spun glass hair". It's also called ectodermal dysplasmia, pili trianguli et canaliculi, loose anagen hair syndrome, Bork Syndrome, and a host of other things as well.

And apparently it's a soft indicator that there may be some other genetic issues that are more serious. Still, I'm just immature enough to be unable to stifle a snicker when I read the following, in a serious academic paper(pdf):

The hair is normal in quantity, and is usually silvery-blond or straw-colored. The hair stands out from the scalp, and its wild disorerly appearance totally resists any effort to control it with brush or comb.

Of course, there is some good news:

The eyebrows and eyelashes are normal.

And even better news:

In later childhood a considerable degree of spontaneous improvement may occur.

At least the young man in the picture has normal eyebrows ay! Thats gotta be better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper?

Dad kept kids in a cage because he could'nt find a babysitter!

Ricardo Gonzalez had to bring his two small children to work every day because he could'nt find a baby sitter. That in itself isn’t bad, but Gonzalez went one step further: he locked his kids in a cage while he works!

Whenever Ricardo Gonzalez went to a job site in his pickup truck, he never let his small children out of his sight. So protective was the 35-year-old south suburban man, he kept his daughters in a makeshift cage inside the truck, officials say.

One of the girls told an investigator for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services that her father locks them up because "he does a very dangerous job," according to state records reviewed by the Tribune. "My dad tightens both of us with his belt by my leg and my sister was [on] the other side of the cage tight with another belt."

The Pregnant "Man" gave birth to a Baby Girl

Thomas Beatie, the transgender man who made headlines as the so-called "pregnant man", gave birth Sunday to a healthy baby girl, ABC News has learned.

"She's really cute, really pretty,'' the source told ABC News Thursday afternoon.

The source said Beattie was resting and the family was focusing its attention on the new baby.

Born a woman, Beatie, 34, who had had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male, leaped to prominence around the world in April when the wispy bearded man revealed he was pregnant.
