19-year-old high school student busted: Kiddie porn site

Starting 'em young, aren't you? This guy was so young that it almost wasn't creepy that he was lusting over children.

A student from Souma City was arrested yesterday for being the one that heads up a child pornography BBS website. He did his "work" on free computers available in the city’s culture center. Not the brightest perv ever.

What does he have to say for himself? Get this:

I like looking at nude boys, and had a collection of about 1,500 photos. I wanted people with similar interests to share the same joy.

Japan Today says he was busted specifically over six photos of naked boys under 10 years of age, posted on the site between July and December 2009.

A vain attempt

So in a vain attempt to reduce load on my server and perhaps make the page load a little quicker I have pulled the old theme and put up this "Plain Jane" version. not sure how long this is going to take but all things going well it should not be long. maybe a few sleepless nights.

Hopefully this complete lack of eye candy and science (reduced plugins) mode will make this all work a little better and not just annoy the snot out of me.

China Blocks Wired.com With ‘Great Firewall’

Chinese authorities have begun blocking Chinese internet users from reading Wired.com, according to a report from the Examiner.

Internet users from Beijing to Shanghai found the site inaccessible starting Friday, reports Glenn Loveland, the Examiner’s Beijing correspondent. The block adds Wired.com to a long list of sites that are or have been considered too dangerous for Chinese net users.

Current blacklist members and alumni include YouTube, Facebook, the BBC, Wikipedia, Google and most recently, IMDB, an encyclopedic movie information site. China’s censorship of the net is in constant flux, aided by sets of powerful firewalls marketed to the Communist government by Western technology companies.

‘Body sold’ to Russia kebab shop

Police in Russia have arrested three homeless men suspected of killing a man, eating part of the body and selling other parts to a kebab shop.

The men were held in the city of Perm, some 1,400km (870 miles) east of Moscow, local investigators said.

Their statement said that the suspects had targeted the 25-year-old victim out of "personal hostility".

It was not clear when the incident occurred. The men - who have not been named - have been charged with murder.

The investigators said on Friday that the body of the man had been found in a forested area near a public transport stop in Perm.

They said the three men attacked their victim with knives and a hammer.

"After carrying out the attack, the corpse was dismembered. Part of it was eaten and part was also sold to a kebab and pie kiosk," their statement said.

It was not immediately clear if any customers had been served.

Drunk clown nabbed after crash – was he driving funny?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A Vancouver-area man has learned that if driving erratically in a clown suit is not enough to signal intoxication, then crashing into a police car certainly is.

A police officer in suburban West Vancouver was searching for suspects involved in a reported fight early on Sunday when he spotted a man, later found to be wearing a brightly colored clown costume, driving at him on the wrong side of the road.

The officer stopped his own car and turned on its emergency lights to warn the other driver, who nonetheless crashed head-on into the cruiser at 20-30 km per hour (12-19 mph).

There were no injuries.

A 29-year-old man is facing charges including impaired driving. He "will have some explaining to do in court," police said in a statement.

Church of Scientology defied coroner on suicide

THE Church of Scientology refused to provide records demanded by a coroner investigating the death of a soldier who committed suicide two days after finishing one of the church's intensive courses.

It emerged yesterday that the American headquarters of the church instructed its Australian branch to send the soldier's "audit file" to the US -- which is outside the coroner's jurisdiction -- before warrants were issued.
