Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

after watching the jerk almadinejad at Columbia university skirt around every question, nothing surprizes me. I must say though Lee Bollinger was really insulting and hit the jerk hard. I think this is why he was disgusting at the UN.
I think he's a nut and we should never allow him here next time.
The people of Iran should revolt and kill him.

Don't worry you will "fly away" soon in the evangelical/government Rapture Plot. Don't be ignorant. Christ will Return Just as He said He Would. Rapture is a Satanic Lie to make you ignorant of the events leading up to the Return of Our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ.

How could these people control the internet from caves?
I think it is a Corporate plot to charge us more for "additional security fees".

Gotta love the Jesus freaks. They're just waiting for some Jesu-Fuhrer to rise up and tell them which babies to slaughter, just like Moses told them in the bible. "Show the children no mercy"
What the Jesus freaks in the US don't get is they and their religions are to blame for these religious-based wars. Suicidial islamics were lied to and told the Koran says ttheyll get "virgins", when the proper translation is most likely "white raisins". Of course nobody is going to be a murderer for an ancient delicacy of white raisins. But virgins, there is something that Jews, Christians, Muslims and even Mormon since the time of Zeus can all agree upon.

It is happening eher in the US and you just do not know it. There are so many people with their noses stuck up your butt they are having a hard time squeezing in.
There are any number of people who want to know what you are doing and who you are doing it with. It isn't just Iran and China. It is all of the NWO grand plan for one global government that controls everyone and what everyone thinks and says and does.
