-Short Attention Span Theater-
Sibu the orangutan prefers blondes
SIBU the orangutan has miffed his Dutch keepers by refusing to mate with females and showing sexual interest only in tattooed human blondes.
"And big honkers!"
Apenheul Primate Park hoped Sibu would become its breeding male when he arrived two years ago, but orangutans aren't his type. "He chases them, or ignores them, but he doesn't do what he should do," said a spokeswoman for the park.
"Anything?"
"Not yet."
"The movies didn't help?"
Instead, Sibu fancies his female keepers, especially blondes.
... with large groodies.
That, the spokeswoman said, was common for orangutans but Sibu has a fetish for tattoos, harking back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him. "Orangutans have special interests in special subjects. Sibu happens to like tattoos," she said.
"Where's Sadie?"
"Down at the Motel 6 with Sibu."
"I hope she doesn't expect overtime for that!"
The park hasn't given up on Sibu, 31. He showed an amorous interest in a female orangutan while living in England and keepers hope he will find love when reunited with her in a new enclosure in Chester, England.
He'll be disappointed when he discovers those are falsies. And her tatoos peel off.

#1  I blame the US adult movies industry, with its endless stream of breasts-enlarged, tattoed, and strategically shaved (false) blonde starlets.
Not only did they warp my fragiel mind, but they spolied the brain of that poor ape as well! Fiends!

#4  Gentlemen prefer blondes therefore SIBU is a gentleman.

#6  They're not really thinking outside the box. Get some peroxide, a competent tatooist, and a female orangutan and you can make Sibu's perfect mate.

#1  At least they didn't die under Apartheid, or something - I'm sure there's a logical explanation, I think.

Britain
Muslim chef settles out of court with Gordon Ramsay
A Muslim chef who said he was unfairly sacked from one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants has settled out of court. Tama Siby, 26, who was promoted from kitchen porter, worked at the Wandsworth celebrity chef's flagship Gordon Ramsay restaurant in Chelsea, west London. He intended to sue Ramsay, his company Ramsay Royal Hospital Road Ltd and two of his chefs for unfair dismissal as well as race and religious discrimination.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed but Mr Siby's original claim was for £50,000 in damage to cover an alleged unlawful deduction of wages, injury to feelings and loss of earnings.

Down Under
Deport Sudanese troublemakers, businessman says
A prominent Brisbane businessman has backed the Federal Immigration Minister's claims that some Sudanese refugees struggle to assimilate in Australia.

Federal Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews says no new African applications will be processed until June next year and it has nothing to do with race.

He says some African communities, such as those from Sudan, have been slow to integrate with the wider community.

The president of the Caxton Street Association Sarosh Mehta says young Sudanese men cause problems in the precinct every weekend and it is a serious problem.

He says the answer is simple - deport the troublemakers.

"I would like to publicly call on Kevin Andrews the Minister for Immigration to simply send them back to where they came from," he said.

"And I assure you the minute we start doing that the message will get through to the rest of these guys real fast."

Yesterday, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh attacked Mr Andrews' reasoning, saying Sudanese refugees are not involved in crime any more frequently than any other sector of the Australian community.

"Those Sudanese refugees are actually under-represented in the crime statistics," she said.

"What that tells me is that these people are law-abiding citizens, by and large that they are not committing crimes at a rate any higher than the average citizen from any other part of the world."

#3  bone collectors policed up the bones, and ground them up as fertilizer, sold in Britain.

There is speculation that similar imports of bones from India—containing partially consumed human remains from funeral pyres dumped into the Ganges—may have been the source of their mad cow epidemic.

Temporary tattoos of Balinese beer logos not for all children
A henna tattoo from Bali left 10-year-old Brody Buckley covered in rashes and welts and may have limited his chances of working in certain industries in the future.
"Son, you'll never make it at Chippendale's"

During his second trip to Bali, Brody of Mandurah in Western Australia got a henna tattoo of the Bali beer ‘Bintang’ logo on his back that two days later developed into a blistering burn-like rash. “He had exactly the same tattoo done three years ago and nothing happened,” his mother Danielle Buckley said. “He has welts all over his legs with a rash-like reaction on his back.”

When getting a henna tattoo in Bali there is the risk that it will be laced with the chemical paraohenylenediamine (PPD), responsible for the burn-like effects. Used to make the colour of the tattoo brighter, reactions to PPD include severe oedema, swelling of the face, collapse, renal failure and asthma.

Doctor Neels Myburgh who treated Brody said the chemical can have longer effects. “People who suffer a reaction are unable to work with that chemical again. It is found in car tyres and hair dye, lots of things,” Dr Myburgh said. “I have seen this before and I have seen even worse than Brody.” Dr Myburgh strongly advised travellers to stay away from temporary tattoos.

“If I’d heard about it I wouldn’t have let him get it,” Mrs Buckley said. Brody’s 13-year-old sister Taylor also had a tattoo but has had no reaction.
Other than to sing "You have welts but I don't. Neener, neener, neeeeeeener" whenever Mom isn't around.

“Look at the internet and read all the stories, it can be up to six months before the welts disappear,” their mother said. “I just want to remind parents to be careful, Bali is such a great place but people just need to be reminded.”
