Farce

Die Tour de France, einst ein ehrenhafter Wettkampf zwischen ganzkörperrasierten Männern, verkommt mehr und mehr zu einem Hort der Unmoral. Es scheint, die einzigen, die nicht dopen, sind die Kühe am Wegesrand (oh ja, einige der Journalisten vor Ort sehen so aus, als hätten sie Selbsttests gemacht…). Nun, an dergleichen werden wir uns gewöhnen müssen. Ich [...]

Simba Makoni, who defected from the ruling Zimbabwean Zanu-PF party and ran for president in the March election, urged the run-off that will occur on June 27th be cancelled. “We don’t believe that a run-off can be held on June 27 and be a free and fair election,” he said. “The country is in the [...]

Grace Mugabe, wife of Robert Mugabe, told followers of her husband’s ruling Zanu-PF party that even if he loses, Bob will never step aside to allow Morgan Tsvangirai to assume the position of president of the nation. “Even if people vote for the MDC, Morgan Tsvangirai will never step foot inside State House. He will [...]

They might have walked away with the coveted World Cup trophy, but Australians were on Monday shaking their heads at the bizarre ending to the biggest event in cricket's one-day calendar."Victory in tour de farce" trumpeted Sydney's Daily Telegraph, which bemoaned the official bungling that saw the last minutes of the final against Sri Lanka played play out in near pitch-black darkness.Confusion over whether the game had finished, which saw Australia celebrate victory for ten minutes before being asked to play three more overs, had reduced the competition to an "international laughing stock," the paper said.The criticism did not stop at the rain-interrupted final played at Bridgetown's Kensington Oval but extended to the entire tournament, which was dismissed as too long and boring."The 20

Really now, is this necessary? Please tell me it's not true. Did I read this article correctly? Does it really say that China is suing CNN and Cafferty for $1.3 billion ($1 for each person)? Yesterday it was 1400RMB for a lawsuit in Beijing. This one is apparently being brought to court in New York.I wonder why the lawsuit only seeks money for Chinese citizens. What about the overseas Chinese who had their feelings hurt? I think these people should sue the original lawyers for discrimination.I understand that people are upset because of Cafferty's choice of words. I don't agree with what he said, but this is seriously overreacting.This will only lead China down a dangerous path of litigation. If it is this easy to sue someone for stupidity, then there are plenty of others who have the righ

Air Farce has set a date on pulling the plug on itself. It’s been on radio and/or TV for quite a while, and I stopped watching it years ago when it was surpassed by 22 Minutes and The Daily Show for political snark. It’s always been good for a chuckle, but it’s hard to do [...]

A contrite former Bonanno crime associate trashed the Mafia as "a farce" at his sentencing for murder yesterday in Brooklyn Federal Court. Francesco (Frank) Fiordilino was then rewarded for his cooperation against Bonanno big shots with a sentence of time served plus 30 days. "Cooperating witnesses are essential to achieving justice, and you have done your part," said Federal Judge Nicholas

When the bitching begins there are surely few sights uglier than a beauty pageant, as the Christmas row over the newly-crowned Miss France amply shows. Like a chaotic scene from the film "Miss Congeniality", this year's contest has rapidly descended into a complete French farce with bikinis, crucifixion imagery, an outraged bishop defending the girl, a post-colonial racism row and legal action set to follow.It all seemed so innocent when Valerie Begue, a 22-year-old business studies student, brought the coveted Miss France title back to the Indian Ocean island for the first time in 31 years.She was given a heroine's welcome at Saint-Denis airport five days before Christmas, only for the publication of suggestive photos the next morning, in a French scandal magazine, to unleash a wave of controversy and potential legal action.Pictures of a scantily-clad Valerie in crucifixion pose in a swimming-pool, and lying on her stomach licking yoghurt, might seem increasingly blase in this day a

For me, I think 2007, has been the year of the premonition. But before I go farther. I want to thank all yawls with the birthday wishes and those who purchased books. And I can't forget my tiger's pimp slapping Roy Hibbert and Georgetown. To both of the aforementioned, I am still smiling.But back to premotating, I have premonated (don't know if either are words but I don't really care) that these folks, in particular the politicians, may be hitting the pipe too much - for they will say anything to get a vote. Such was even my premise in stupid pet tricks.Check this: Mitt Romney is a perfect example, and while telling some people a tall tale, he got cold busted. Gone say some shit like he remembers seeing his father as a child, marching along side with Martin Luther King Jr. (I'm trying not to laugh at that shit now). The problem is that it never happened and was completely fabricated. He even said it was just a figure of speech, a metaphor. He was just pretending - make b

  Ok we all hate tottenscum with a passion. I am arguing that their very public balls up in sacking of Martin Jol and offering the job to Juande Ramos will not secure them a top four spot. No one in their right minds really believed that Tottenscum would be relegated, so let’s get real here. The Tottenscum board are the biggest bunch of fools this side of the Seven Sisters Road. For one thing, Jol brought the best top finish to this bunch of fools since 1961. I am arguing that we Arsenal fans would have a little less to laugh at if the scum got relegated. So I for one hope that they remain a mid table disaster. The pain that all of the spurs fans are suffering can be spied on, if you are really a voyeur and want to take the piss, register and give ‘em hell!  http://b3.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=SIMBSPURS  Meanwhile Fabregas the King invites you to prepare and savour the atmosphere of the terraces/seats by including the topical songs/c

Intellectually and technically incompetent; advertisement and money driven, it's an annual jokeThe ranking agency is yet to be determined, the methodology yet to be formulated, the parameters still to be decided - but the marketing team is already haunting a B-School management for advertisements like a swarm of irritating mosquitoes. Be it business magazines or financial newspapers or news weeklies - it is a cool way to earn a few extra bucks - the annual B-School rankings. Magazines and newspapers apart, some ranking agencies have also floated websites to attract advertisements and earn as well while they “unbiasedly” rank the same B-Schools!!! The ranking agencies (often one man shows existing solely to rank B-Schools annually) don’t have any competence or intellect to even determine criteria to rank B-Schools. Most of them go pathetically wrong even while trying to do quantitative pre poll predictions but are all boasting of accurate (though mostly qualitative and perception

CRICKET is so badly administered and so dominated by cronyism and political expediency it now has the situation of being controlled by 10 Test countries when only nine are officially listed by the game's governing body. The International Cricket Council's latest rankings no longer include Zimbabwe, yet its administrators continue to ride the gravy train of elite status and all the money and control that it entails. In another embarrassment highlighting the freefall of international cricket's playing standards, Bangladesh has moved up a place in Zimbabwe's absence despite losing five of its past six Tests by an innings. The other was washed out. Bangladesh has won only one of its 49 Tests, against a hopelessly weak Zimbabwe. Adding to the growing concerns over the decline of international cricket's playing standards, West Indies has not won a Test for more than two years. Despite retaining privileged full-member status of the ICC, Zimbabwe has dropped out of the ICC Test c

Women's tennis gets me excitable for all the wrong reasons.Yes, women now get paid the same as their male counterparts at Wimbledon. That's good because it is quite right that men and women get paid the same amount for doing the same job. The only thing is it isn't the same job is it? If you look at the two Wimbledon Singles Champions this year, Roger Federer and Venus Williams respectively, then examine the number of sets and games played en-route to glory you find two very different pictures emerging.The flawless Roger Federer played 21 sets and 204 games on his way to equalling Bjorn Borg's 5 successive Wimbledon titles. To put that in context, Tommy Haas, Federer's 4th round opponent pulled out with an injury giving the stylish Federer a bye into the quarter finals.The grunting Venus Williams on the other hand played 16 sets and 146 games. That equates to a mismatch in games/sets played of around 75%. When you consider that Federer played one less match in total than Venus Wil

THE fallout from the embarrassing end to the Cricket World Cup final has continued, with the umpires and match referee involved in the farce set to be overlooked for the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa. On-field umpires Aleem Dar and Steve Bucknor, television umpire Rudi Koertzen, reserve umpire Billy Bowden and match referee Jeff Crowe are almost certain to sit out the September tournament as payback for their blunder in Barbados. The Caribbean cup shambles ended in fitting circumstances when Australia was called back on to the field to restart the rain-marred game 10 minutes after unofficially being declared the winner in semi-darkness. International Cricket Council spokesman Sami-ul-Hasan said last night that decisions about who would stand in the Twenty20 World Cup would not be made until next month. Several sources have confirmed the Caribbean quintet will not be called up.  

So Paris Hilton begins her 3 week stint behind bars for drunk driving - and after reading reports on how she is going to be treated in there - it looks like its going to be plain sailing! She will stay in a section of the prison reserved for celebrities and other high profile toffs, she has stated that she is scared and will find it hard being there; now if she were to be put in with the other main prisoners then she would have a hard time, but it looks like it is going to be an easy 3 weeks inside for her; the judge may as well of locked her in a hotel room for 23 days and put security guards on the door!

The finals of the Miss Universe pageant, the biggest beauty pageant on the planet, is happening tomorrow. 77 contestants will be vying for that coveted crown of being the “most beautiful woman, not only on Earth, but also throughout the whole Milky Way, Andromeda and the billions of galaxies in the universe”. Among the hopefuls is our very own Jessica Tan. Pretty? Nyeeehh …. so-so. But she does look better than some of the aunties that took part in the Miss Singapore pageant to get to where she is now - just hours away from the finals. Good luck to her! There have been accusations that the pageant is turning in to a farce. For years now, feminists have accused it of being nothing more than a dumb (sometimes the word ‘lewd’ is used) show of deluded visions of the perfect female form. This year, the contest has not escaped the rumour-mongering, fiery-accusations, scandals and bitchiness that’s afflicted it over the years. I can’t say that the M

Delta Farce Movie Review: Down on his luck after losing his job and his girlfriend on the same day, Larry decides to join his neighbor, Bill, and his combat-happy buddy, Everett, for a relaxing weekend of drinking and target practice. But when the three hapless guys are mistaken for Army Reservists by the hard-nosed Sergeant Kilgrove, they're loaded onto an army plane headed for Fallujah, Iraq-

When a hard-luck blue-collar worker and his two best friends are mistaken for Army Reservists by a tough-talking Army Sergeant, the plane set to fly them to the front lines of Iraq mistakenly drops them in the middle of Mexico to disastrous results in a freewheeling military comedy starring Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and D.J. Qualls. Larry (the Cable Guy) has lost his job and his woman in the short span of twenty-four hours. Convinced that some suds and target shooting are just the right remedies for a broken, jobless heart, Larry sets out with his next door neighbor Bill (Engvall) and their trigger-happy pal Everett (Qualls) in order to blast off some rounds and down some brews. Their relaxing weekend soon takes an unexpected turn, however, when hard case Army Sergeant Kilgrove (Keith David) mistakes the trio as slacking army reservists and load them in a plane bound for Fallujah. Subsequently air-dropped over Mexico due to pilot error, the clueless, wannabe war heroes beco

Man, I’m glad that was over. I had a choice between twenty-eight days later and Delta Farce. To maintain solidarity with my Southern comrades and because I felt I would have some affinity with a movie set in Iraq (which I "visited") with characters in the Army reserves (like me) who visit Mexico (as I have (I have the wife to prove it), I chose Delta Farce. The relentlessly unfunny DF causes one to wonder whether the producers of the movie intentionally made a comedy without jokes or just forgot to include them. In fact, the whole movie seems like a project slapped together because Larry the Cable guy’s two-week vacation was a month away. The premise isn’t bad, actually, and it could have been a passable fish out of water comedy. Three out of shape reservists (no, not redundant), all of whom share a certain skin condition inherent in Caucasian men from the South and affecting, mainly, the area on the body between the head and the shoulders, are deployed to Iraq. Wh

Today, for the first time in 50 years the Labour party has lost an election in Scotland.  Today for the first time ever the Scottish National Party has won an election in Scotland.  Final score 47-46.  It really couldn’t be any closer.  Of course the SNP has no overall majority and will now seek to form a coalition government with some of the smaller parties. The times, as they say, they are a changing.

Yesterday Scotland voted for a new Scottish Parliament using a mix of first past the post by marking an X next to your preferred candidate and a regional list system of Proportional Representation by marking an X next to your preferred party.  They were both together on one ballot paper.  At the same time we voted for our local council using another ballot paper and a whole different system, Single Transferable Vote, where we were asked to rank our preference in order 1, 2, 3 and so on.  This is the first time the STV system has been used. Add into that mix the use of electronic counting machines for the first time and you have a recipe for complete disaster. So far almost 100,000 ballots have been not accepted across the country.  These are not spoiled papers where someone has chosen to deface the ballot in protest, but rather ballot papers completed incorrectly. This is one of the closest elections in Scottish history.  We don’t need electronic error and voter confusion ad

I am going to rant now. After the CC final where Dogba scores a goal that was miles offside and Adebayor was not, but the flag went up.  I cannot believe that the Fa could refuse to listen to the clear fact that it was Eboue who "punched" Lumplard and not Adebayor.  Maybe the linesman was confused because they both have the first name.  Adebayor is now facing another charge because he went off angrily. Who wouldn’t.  If you were arrested by police for something you didn’t do would you say "Ok gov, fair cop".  No, you’d tonk em one and take your punishment. Now AW is being charged because he is calling the linesman a liar.  I know the press will be on the bandwagon but the FA had a chance to vindicate themselves and the officials yesterday.  ADEBAYOR DID NOT PUNCH LUMPLARD.  The linesman either has to come out and say that he made a mistake or he will have people saying he lied.  Simple. Anyway, that&rsq

Being away from Mumbai the one thing you miss the most is the roadside food. The "Chaat' by which I mean Bhel Puri, Sev Puri, Pani Puri , Dahi Batata Puri , Ragda Pattice and Mumbai's lifeline the "Vada Pav'. Dubai serves excellent food in all cuisines but what I miss the most is my Mumbai roadside food. Yes I've suffered from over eating out too (jaundice struck in the second year of MBA) but you simply can't resist it! Ours is a neat group of 5 couples here who get together every weekend and most of the times we go out trying out new restaurants. However this time around we decided to be home and have a nice "Chaat' evening. The menu was: Pani puriDahi Batata PuriBhel PuriSev PuriDabeliVada pav. My mouth was already watering when we were discussing the menu. I took up to prepare Vada Pav cause I had my grandmom's recipe for it and which is as good as the ones you get in Mumbai.

Même si les rues sont désertes, tout le monde ici vous le dira : roulez moins vite la nuit que le jour. A 3 reprises des camions m'ont repassé le film de ma vie en 30 centièmes de secondes.Hier au soir mon collègue de Saigon Brian a surement vue sa vie repasser… mais pour la dernière fois. Quant à sa femme, actuellement a peine sortie du bloc, elle apprendra la nouvelle à son réveil.Il y a un an, un autre collègue avec sa fille faisait un simple accident de moto, sans trop de dommage pourtant, mais sa tête n'a pas supporte le choc contre le bitume laissant ses filles orphelines.La vie est une grande farce, et chacun tentant tant bien que mal d'assurer son rôle… Semaine dernière la compta envoyait un email en nous disant que nous recevrions nos cartes d'assurance très bientôt, donc de ne pas s'inquiéter.

Flickr user: missingsaddleHe knows his male hormones, does our Francie. Last year's winner of the Tour De France, Floyd Landis, has been busy trying to drum up support over doping allegations in relation to his controversial triumph. Landis can be seen as one of the lucky cyclists in the past few years making a decent amount of money as far as cyclists go. But with expected costs of up to $2 million for his defence hearing, he's having to trail America doing information/benefit sessions to gain as many mighty dollars as he can.I know of a guy who recently attended one of these sessions in New York, and his e-mail on the subject piqued my interest in the whole case. He met Landis on the night and said how he took the time to talk with just about everybody in the place (2-300 people). On the night an auction took place to raise funds and one of the more interesting items sold was a signed Jack Daniels bottle (Landis notoriously blamed Jack Daniels as a potential reason for the test r
