This is more stupid than funny...

Thieves use a home made explosive device to destroy a cash machine (ATM) and steal the money within.

Not that stupid you think?

The cash machine they targeted was in a PETROL STATION!!!!

So lucky the whole thing didn't go up. :dunce:
 
At least do it at a bank or someplace else without blowing up the next 4 city blocks. Dumbasses.
 
:lol:


Isn't there a label that says not to heat it up or penetrate it because contents are under pressure?
 
I'm not sure how funny this is as a story, but the quote sure meets the "peculiar" definition of funny...

Woman worth $250m blames slave trade for imposing the economic system on her that lead to her avoiding tax...
Lauryn Hill
I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me.

It's such an effortless play of the race card it's almost breathtaking. I wonder how many times she's played it and in what circumstances... Does she demand a black parking space - which she'd define as wherever she left her car, what with the highways rules being a system imposed on her as a result of slavery?
 
I'm going to tread water with the AUP here, and say that that woman is being an absolute dick. Horrible playing of the race card. I could argue the same about me being historically oppressed by the English and it would be equally ridiculous.
 
Well, it would be if the oppression meant you owned a restaurant chain, a cosmetics brand and a football team.

Until then it'd be less ridiculous still.
 
We're coincidentally close in our standings, because I'm worth £250, eat at restaurants, use certain cosmetics and I go and watch a football team.

Definitely cut from the same cloth.
 
She had an economic system imposed upon her that made her rich but felt the need to snub her nose at it?

That really is a weak use of the race card lol.
 
This is something I never understand about the wealthy. Yeah you pay more taxes than the average person, but you're still left with far more money afterwards. Just stop being greedy and be thankful for the excess that you have!

To that a person from the third world says: "I never understand how people in the first world complain about money, be thankful for the excess you have!".

Story is hilarious though.

Edit: hilarious in how absurdly ridiculous she is.

Absolutely, especially when many people died in poverty or near-obscurity over the right for equal rights and protection by law. She can't do math, obviously wasn't smart with her wealth, didn't realize fame is fleeting, and thus it's everyone else's fault. What a spit in the eye of genuine struggles and hardships caused by actual racism, by trashing the very system that made you wealthy and comfortable in the first place...a path that was paved well in advance of your life and eventual stardom.

Get bent, you bitch. Pay up like the rest of us, then you can complain.

So, what do you do when you lose a the preliminary round of a mayoral election? Do you offer congratulations to the candidates going forward to the run-off? Do you admit your errors? Nope, you blame the Devil!

Welcome to the world of U.S. politics, sadly that sort of thing is the norm(although it's usually not the devil).
 
Hardly the norm. That fruitcake only got 0.83% of the vote, or 56 votes. Which is kinda scary I suppose; there are fifty-some-odd other wackos living in that community.


Must be voodoo. Yeah, that's the ticket.
 
And she drives a MINI, to boot. Finally got to use the big, beefy man brakes attached to that girly little car. :lol:
 
Seven people are charged over a six-billion-dollar money laundering case:

The story itself isn't particularly funny, but this paragraph is:
Liberty Reserve allowed users to open accounts using fictitious names, including "Russian Hacker" and "Hacker Account." An undercover investigator was able to register using the name "Joe Bogus" and the address "123 Fake Main Street" in "Completely Made Up City, New York," and then conduct transactions he recorded as "ATM skimming network" and "for the cocaine."

I've gotta change banks. I have some awesome fictitious names in mind...
 
Breakup caught on Google Streetview.

My favourite bit had to be:
Charlie Brooker
This is the equivalent of Nuts magazine suddenly claiming only gay men masturbate to Hollyoaks babes.
