A radio station was forced to issue an apology today after listeners complained of hearing ‘sex noises’ live on air.

Jazz FM’s pre-recorded Funcky Sensation show was interrupted for around five minutes on Saturday night.

Stunned listeners took to Twitter to say they had heard ‘sex noises’ from an adult film being played.

Iwan Williams tweeted: “The **** just happened on jazz fm?! Sounded like sex noises… This is turning into an awkward dinner.”

JazzFM.com issued a statement today, saying: “Unfortunately we had an unauthorised access to the live feed this evening which resulted in a highly regrettable incident. Please accept our profound and sincere apologies for any offence that may have been caused.”

Mike Vitti, station programme director, told RadioToday.co.uk: “There was unauthorised activity and behaviour in the studio which we take very seriously and we will be taking the appropriate disciplinary action against the individual concerned.

“In addition I will apologise to the Jazz FM audience at the beginning of next weeks programme.”

On this date in February 16th, 1959, Fidel Castro became the Prime Minister of Cuba. Since then, according to the man who was charged with protecting him for most of his regime, he’s survived over 600 assassination attempts. Fabian Escalante, the former head of the Cuban Secret Service, claims that the assassination endeavors break down like this: the Eisenhower administration tried to kill Castro 38 times; Kennedy, 42; Johnson, 72; Nixon, 184; Carter, 64; Reagan, 197; Bush Sr., 16; Clinton, 21. (The accuracy of Escalante’s statistics, especially attempts since the Nixon administration, is in dispute.) There are only so many different ways you can ambush someone with a sharpshooter, so some of the ways the CIA plotted to kill Castro were pretty wild. Here are just a few of the unorthodox methods considered to oust the Beard.

1. Femme fatale. Marita Lorenz, just one of many women Castro counted as a mistress, allegedly accepted a deal from the CIA in which she would feed him capsules filled with poison. She managed to get as far as smuggling the pills into his bedroom in her jar of cold cream, but the pills dissolved in the cream and she doubted her ability to force-feed Castro face lotion, and she also just chickened out. According to Lorenz, Castro somehow figured out her plan and offered her his gun. “I can’t do it, Fidel,” she told him.

2. Poisoned wetsuit. While there’s nothing suspicious about receiving random diving gear from your enemy right in the middle of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the CIA gave it a shot. In 1975, the Senate Intelligence Committee claimed it had “concrete evidence” of a plan to offer Castro a wetsuit lined with spores and bacteria that would give him a skin disease (and maybe worse). The plan supposedly involved American lawyer James B. Donovan, who would present Castro with the suit when he went to negotiate the release of the Bay of Pigs prisoners. A 1975 AP report said the plan was abandoned “because Donovan gave Castro a different diving suit on his own initiative.”

3. Ballpoint hypodermic syringe. An ordinary-looking pen would be rigged with a hypodermic needle so fine that Castro wouldn’t notice when someone bumped into him with the pen and injected him with an extremely potent poison.

4. Exploding cigar. But this was no parlor trick – this cigar would have been packed with enough real explosives to take Fidel’s head off. In 1967, the Saturday Evening Post reported that a New York City police officer had been propositioned with the idea and hoped to carry it out during Castro’s United Nations visit in September 1960.

5. Contaminated cigar. They may have given up on the TNT stogie, but the idea of spiking his smokes was still being floated around. The CIA even went as far as to recruit a double agent who would slip Castro a cigar filled with botulin, a toxin that would kill the leader in short order. The double agent was allegedly given the cigars in February of 1961, but he apparently got cold feet.

6. Exploding conch shell. Knowing that Castro liked to scuba dive, the CIA made plans to plant an explosive device in a conch shell at his favorite spot. They plotted to make the shell brightly colored and unusual looking so it would be sure to attract Castro’s attention, drawing him close enough to kill him when the bomb inside went off.

7. Nair. Well, maybe not that brand specifically, but according to that 1975 Senate Intelligence Committee report, the U.S. believed that messing with Castro’s beard was messing with the man’s power. The CIA figured that the loss of the beard would show Cubans that Castro was weak and fallible. A half-baked scheme was hatched to use thallium salt, the chemical in depilatory products such as Nair, in Castro’s shoes or in his cigar. The chemical would be absorbed or inhaled and cause the famous facial hair to fall out. (Wait, wasn’t this an episode of Get Smart?)

8. LSD. In what was mostly an effort to discredit Fidel, not kill him, a radio station where Castro was giving a live broadcast would be bombarded with an aerosol spray containing a substance similar to LSD. When Fidel had the requisite freak out live on the air, Cubans would think he had lost his mind and stop trusting him.

9. Handkerchief teeming with deadly bacteria. The CIA was seemingly obsessed with covering Fidel in harmful bacteria and toxins, because they also considered giving him a germ-covered hankie that would make him very ill.

10. Poisoned milkshake. According to Escalante, the closest the CIA ever came to killing Castro was a deadly dessert drink in 1963. The attempt went awry when the pill stuck to the freezer where the waiter-assassin at the Havana Hilton was supposed to retrieve it. When he tried to unstick it, the capsule ripped open.

Here’s a quick summary for you…

From the Georgia General Assembly website.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
This Act shall be known and may be cited as the “Right to Travel Act.”

SECTION 2.
The General Assembly finds that:

(1)
Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose. Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right;

(2)
In England in 1215, the right to travel was enshrined in Article 42 of Magna Carta:
It shall be lawful to any person, for the future, to go out of our kingdom, and to return, safely and securely, by land or by water, saving his allegiance to us, unless it be in time of war, for some short space, for the common good of the kingdom: excepting prisoners and outlaws, according to the laws of the land, and of the people of the nation at war against us, and Merchants who shall be treated as it is said above.

(3)
Where rights secured by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Georgia are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation that would abrogate these rights. The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime. There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon an individual because of this exercise of constitutional rights;

(4) American citizens have the inalienable right to use the roads and highways unrestricted in any manner so long as they are not damaging or violating property or rights of others. The government, by requiring the people to obtain drivers’ licenses, is restricting, and therefore violating, the people’s common law and constitutional right to travel;

(5)
In Shapiro v Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969), Justice Potter Stewart noted in a concurring opinion that the right to travel “is a right broadly assertable against private interference as well as governmental action. Like the right of association…it is a virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all.” The Articles of Confederation had an explicit right to travel; and we hold that the right to travel is so fundamental that the Framers thought it was unnecessary to include it in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights;

(6) The right to travel upon the public highways is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will but the common right which every citizen has under his or her right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this constitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his or her inclination along the public highways or in public places while conducting himself or herself in an orderly and decent manner; and

(7) Thus, the legislature does not have the power to abrogate the citizens’ right to travel upon the public roads by passing legislation forcing the citizen to waive the right and convert that right into a privilege.

Essentially what they’re saying, is that the act of driving is a Right, not a privilege.

Being a “Bible Belt” State, I wonder if this is, somehow, a biblical statement?

In a country in which some States allow driving from as young as 15 (Georgia is 18), these being the States you want to avoid on a roadtrip, do you really want to take your chances with someone driving with skills essentially untested beyond those of a 14(-17) yr-old?

Let’s not forget, we’re dealing with automatic-biased, straight-road-driving, tanks here, commanded by school-led instructors without so much as a thought as to advanced driving skills.

If you are not required to be licensed, there is surely no legally-enforceable way to ensure that you receive adequate training (not certification) of your ability to handle a machine easily capable of causing untold amounts of damage and of killing scores of people and animals.

However, with some thought, further questions arise, accompanied by an array of pros and cons.

If driving is a Right, thereby doing away with the licensing of drivers, is the licensing of vehicles (and that derivative income) thus defunct?

Where will the money to maintain the road infrastructure come from?

Will vehicles still be required to be registered? This requires a ‘licensing’ authority.

How will offenders by caught; and prosecuted, if there are no rules to be abided by, agreed to by the holding of a driver’s license.

Will ‘Learners’ still exist?

If your health reaches a level unsuitable for driving, such as gradual-onset blindness, how will you be forced off of the road by authorities?

If driving is a right, will cars be tested for roadworthiness, considering that they are a requisite tool for the act of driving?

In addition, we must surely prepared to celebrate the forthcoming and inevitable cleaning of our oh-so-polluted genepool.

Lastly, and this is a personal favourite, will the age-old argument of roads for cars come to an end? “We pay license, so we can drive here!” is a favourite chant of the driver when faced with cyclists on the road. If this is what it takes to shut you up, I applaud this otherwise ludicrous sentiment.

106 Kws of pure kitchen appliance POWAH!

This thing must be SUPER rare! To ensure it doesn’t attract the ‘wrong’ type of attention, he’s purposefully only shown us the really crappy-quality photos of it, and no shots of the mega-exclusive Lotus badges.

Thanks to the “Contranaught” drag thinymajig, I bet that things pulls smoother than Ol’ Blue Eyes on an ice-rink wearing a satin mankini.

I was a bit worried about my neighbour beating me, but his ricer M-fwee does 0–100 km/h in 6.832, not “dead”, so you know I can whip him some and have plenty left over to charf the dollies with.

We can even be kewl like Ice, sporting big flames ‘n wild zorst-muzak right at the end of the clock. Chicks dig that.

BARGAIN!

This chap is on the lookout for an external HDD, but not an empty one. It must come loaded with, presumably pirated, music OR movies.

Cheeky, rebellious and greedy, all in one.

His mother must be so proud.

…I’d suggest he contact the seller of this HDD, but that appears to be one of those clunky relics that still uses electricity. Poor soul.

If you’re trying to play coy and sly with your antique-selling by marketing an item as never having been removed from its original packaging, disturbing the original packaging to remove it for a photo is pretty much putting that claim to bed, wouldn’t you say?

Look here! The Virgin Mary is on offer today, untouched, pure and chaste. Let me hold open these here flaps in order to show you.
