A sexy read

PARIS- Five teenagers decided to make a statement by posing nude for the cover of their high school’s student magazine called “Ravaillac.” The issue dealt with sex, prostitution, homophobia and pornography, but some parents, teachers and students simply do not care what statement the kids were trying to make. Some believe that the students have disgraced the 200 year old prestigious French school. Many prominent people have attended the Henri-IV school in the past, including former President Georges Pompidou as a teacher. Though the students posed nude, the magazine was published with bits of removable opaque tape stuck to the photo. The teenagers have sought legal advice for fear of the school board’s actions. The magazine’s production has since been suspended.

Urine: To sell or not to sell

WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Our government does not require those who sell alcohol to ask their customers if they intend to get drunk and drive, nor do they require those who sell bullets or guns to ask their customers if they intend to kill someone,” was the defense used for a young man who wished to sell his urine over the Internet. Kenneth Curtis lost a Supreme Court appeal that asked for permission to sell his fluids, part of a business that caters to people who are trying to beat drug tests. Curtis reportedly worked his way around the ban by moving his business to North Carolina. Curtis’ site includes a cartoon of a man, lowering his pants then urinating on a police officer’s shoes.

Criminal fools police

LONDON (Reuters) – Red-faced British police on Wednesday promised to find out why officers allowed a burglar to walk free after they accepted his made-up story over the telephone. Newspapers reported that the mix-up started when a suspicious neighbor called police in Manchester after he saw a man loitering near a friend’s van. Instead of sending out a patrol car, officers asked that the suspect be put on the telephone and then accepted his story that he was not committing a crime. Police later admitted the smooth-talking criminal made off with 600 pounds ($1,000) worth of tools from the van.

Sober in court

ARTLESVILLE, Okla. – You would think it would be common sense to show up sober for an arraignment hearing on drunken driving charges. Charles Ronald Laws, 52, was led from the Washington County courthouse in handcuffs after failing a sobriety test. Laws was also scheduled to be arraigned on charges of possession of marijuana and transporting an open container of alcohol.
