Furious Rooney in threat to FA
James Robinson and Denis Campbell
Sunday August 20, 2006
The Observer
Wayne Rooney has issued an extraordinary warning to the FA that he will reduce his role with the England team unless they review their three-match ban imposed for his latest sending-off.
In an unprecedented move, the Manchester United striker has told the FA that he will stop co-operating with their money-making activities around the England team - such as personal appearances for sponsors - unless they rethink the suspension handed down last week for the red card he received for violent conduct in a pre-season friendly.
In a letter to FA chief executive Brian Barwick on Rooney's behalf, the player's agent, Paul Stretford, wrote: 'I am writing on behalf of my client to express his utter dismay at the decision' not to overturn the ban. Rooney 'feels extremely let down by the FA on this matter', added Stretford.
The letter then said: 'While he will continue if selected to play for his country with the pride and commitment, he is considering withdrawing his support for the FA's commercial programme:...

Iran cartoon show mocks Holocaust
Robert Tait in Tehran
Sunday August 20, 2006
The Observer
Ariel Sharon, the incapacitated former Israeli Prime Minister, is wearing an SS uniform. A man with Jewish side locks is depicted as a vampire drinking from a container marked 'Palestinian blood'. An Arab figure is impaled to the ground by the absurdly long nose of a man in a black hat characteristic of orthodox Jews and marked 'Holocaust'.
At their worst, the images conform to lurid western stereotypes of Iran as a hotbed of anti-Semitism, as evoked by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's dismissal of the Holocaust as a 'myth'.
They are among the results of a competition run by the country's biggest-selling newspaper, Hamshahri, to find the 'cleverest' cartoons satirising the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis in the Second World War.
More than 200 images have gone on public display in an exhibition at Tehran's Palestine Contemporary Art Museum. The exhibition's opening was attended by the de facto Palestinian ambassador to Iran, Salah al-Zawawi, who has full diplomatic status in Tehran.
Organisers say they received about 750 entries from around the world,...

Yeah, that Big Mouth was brilliant - some of the most entertaining tv I've seen in a good while. I'm looking forward to Brand's new show - finally a host who is intelligent, witty self-abasing and crude as hell!

U.S. BB: Should Marcellas Return as Co-Host of House Calls, the Big Brother Internet Chat Show? 
I was quite surprised by his personality "flip" whilst he was inside the house -- very different from the funny, lovable co-host of "House Calls." I'm not so sure I'd miss him if he were not to return next summer. Last summer, he went on and on about how much he LOVED Janelle and Kaysar --- then he does a 180 and says some very mean things about them (which neither Janelle nor Kaysar said about Marcy). Any thoughts?

Here are my 2 fave "Star Trek" jokes:
(1) What do the Star Trek Enterprise and toilet paper have in common?
They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons!

(2) Four members of the Starship Enterprise beam down to inspect a new planet: Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Red-Shirt Security Man. Who dies?
The Red-Shirt Security Man, of course!

Good ones! And very true about the Red-shirt security man
