New Zealand TV host slammed over Sheila Dikshit slur

Sheila Dikshit

A New Zealand TV presenter is in hot water after a clip resurfaced of him mocking the name of an Indian Commonwealth Games official - Sheila Dikshit.

Despite being told her name is pronounced "Dixit," TVNZ presenter Paul Henry called the Dehli chief minister "Dick-sh*t" and said that her name was "so appropriate" because she is Indian.

"The dip sh*t woman. God, what's her name? Dick Sh*t. Is it Dick Sh*t ... it looks like 'Dick Sh*t'," Henry says in the clip as he struggles to contain his laughter.

"It's so appropriate, because she's Indian, so she'd be dick-in-sh*t wouldn't she, do you know what I mean? Walking along the street ... it's just so funny." Since the Dikshit comments, Henry has been suspended for another racism-related matter.

JOKE: Tom got in a terrible fight with his wife

Tom got in a terrible fight with his wife, which she ended with, "You're homely, weak, and not man enough to satisfy me!"

Tom stomped out of the house, steaming mad. At the edge of town, he spied something in the grass -- an old lamp. He rubbed it and, sure enough, out popped a genie, who made him the standard three-wish deal. With his wife's words ringing in his ears, he responded, "Make me look like George Clooney with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger and..." he pointed to a horse in a nearby field... "and make me hung like that horse."

The genie said, "As you wish, sire," chuckled, and vanished, back into the lamp. Tom headed happily for home and knocked on the locked front door. His wife peeked through the peephole and saw the face of George Clooney! She flung open the door and saw the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger! Tom swept her off her feet and carried her up to the bedroom. It was as if her dreams had come true! As Tom removed his clothes, he continued, "Oh, honey, wait until you see what else I have for you!" But when he felt his crotch, he cried, "Oh, shit! That horse was a mare!"

Korean CNG Bus Explosion Caught On Camera

A compressed natural gas-powered bus exploded Monday and injured 17 while waiting at a traffic light in Seoul, South Korea. The CNG tank ruptured, tearing the bus apart and shattering nearby windows. The whole incident was captured on video above.

The catastrophic failure resulted in 17 injuries to riders and pedestrians, one of which was serious and resulted in a 28-year-old woman requiring immediate surgery to both ankles. Seoul's bus fleet is comprises of approximately 95% CNG buses and as a result the government's launched an immediate investigation into the safety of the fuel tanks.

If the failure mode is determined to be a defect in the tank, all buses manufactured in the same year will be recalled and possibly others if their tanks are considered suspect. One thing's for sure though, we're betting Seoul's bus ridership drops just a little bit until they get things figured out

100 drunken Canadian women brawl over male stripper

Police want to talk to the management of Nanaimo's Cavallotti Lodge,Alberta following a drunken melee that erupted at the East Wellington Road hall on Friday night, featuring more than 100 women and a male stripper. Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O'Brien said officers responded to a call of an assault at the hall at around 10:50 p.m., only to find "between 100 and 150 drunk women" on the premises, watching an exotic dancer as part of a fundraiser for the lodge. "My understanding is that a big brawl broke out among a number of drunken women who were watching a male stripper event there," said O'Brien. Police arrested five people they believed were involved in the incident but are not recommending charges to Crown counsel.

"They were drunk, it was an alcohol-fuelled incident and there was no real victim," said O'Brien. "However, we will be following up with Cavallotti because their patrons were extremely intoxicated and we need to warn them about the dangers of over-serving liquor." Two of the women were kept in the cells at the RCMP detachment until they "sobered up," said O'Brien. A witness to Friday's escapades who did not want to be identified said one woman stood on her chair to watch the male exotic dancer, who was dressed up as a police officer before he started to remove his clothing.

The women behind her took exception because their view of the stripper was obstructed. At least four police cars responded to the assault. "I couldn't believe that many police officers were there," said the witness. "It was police overkill." O'Brien said the incident has been documented and police know the names of all the women who were involved. "I guess one woman assaulted another woman who was blocking her view and then all hell broke loose," he said. The woman whose view of the stripper was blocked asked the woman standing on the chair to sit down and the latter took a swing at her, said the witness.

"She really scratched her on her face." The person who initially called in the complaint told police that not only was she assaulted but her mother and sister were also assaulted. O'Brien said police arrested the five people because they caused a disturbance. "There was no real victim here as far as we can tell and everybody was so drunk, it's difficult to determine what really took place and that's why we don't expect charges resulting from this," he said.

Charlie the Smoking Chimp' dies from old age

A chimpanzee which became addicted to smoking cigarettes has died from old age having managed to live at least 10 years longer than most chimps. 'Charlie the Smoking Chimp' was famous for his habit, picked up from visitors to his South African zoo, of smoking lit cigarettes.

But the zoo announced that the ape had finally died, aged 52. Most chimpanzees live to around 40. Qondile Khedama, a spokesman for Mangaung Zoo, said Charlie was only an 'occasional smoker', but had none the less become famous around the world for the habit. She explained that although the zoo discouraged the practice, the ape obtained cigarettes from visitors who would throw lit cigarettes to him through his bars.

Charlie in happier times.

Ms Khedama explained that Charlie had recently been receiving special care, including a special diet of protein shakes and vitamin and mineral supplements. Ms Khedama said she did not know whether the ape's bad smoking habit contributed to his demise and that post mortem to determine the exact cause of death would take place soon.

The chimpanzee had learnt that he was not supposed to smoke, so he would try and hide the habit from his zookeepers. Charlie is thought to have picked up the smoking habit when he worked in an American circus. It has been speculated that he was taught the trick to entertain circus-goers.
