John Ashcroft Sing Along

It's been around for a while, but nevertheless still has the ability to "shock and awe". I cannot imagine any of our senior politicians singing something like this at the end of a press conference.

[let's see what search engine referrals we have for people trying to find child porn eh? Updates over time... ]


from www.theregister.co.uk :

So you catch a man driving with his pants around his ankles who's paying more attention to the child porn video running on his laptop than the road ahead. What do you charge him with?

That's the dilemma Toronto traffic police found themselves in when they arrested a man driving the wrong way down a residential one-way street.

Walter Nowakowski, 33, of Delhi near Toronto, Canada, was watching child porn images downloaded using a hijacked wireless Internet connection when he was pulled over by the police in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Following his arrest, Police searched Nowakowski's home when they recovered 10 computers along with thousands of CDs and floppy disks suspected to contain child porn images.

Nowakowski faces numerous charges, including possession of child pornography and theft of communications, the Winipeg Sun reports. What, no driving offences?

also from the register, a man who threatened spammers with an anthrax attack:

A computer programmer from Sunnyvale, California faces up to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine after being arrested for threatening to torture and kill employees of a spam company, Yahoo! News reports.

Charles Booher, 44, apparently snapped after his computer was deluged with ads offering a larger penis and, presumably not requiring a larger penis at that time, launched a terror campaign against the Canadian company he blamed for the outrage.

Booher did not, however, restrict himself to a few shirty emails and perhaps an angry phonecall to DM Contact Management, which dispatched offers of the "Only Reliable, Medically Approved Penis Enhancement" on behalf of Albion Medical.

read the rest at the register.
