If you think it’s too gross to be shown on tv, just realize that this PSA aired during Hockey Night in Canada; anyone who watches that is totally jaded, violence-wise already.

In the latest example of inadvertently star-making sense of humour failure on the part of an organization, Emma Clarke, smooth-voiced announcer for the London Underground system, has been “de-accessioned” for recording spoof announcements and posting them on her personal website.
“London Underground is sorry to have to announce that further contracts for Miss Clarke are experiencing severe delays,” a TfL spokesman told the Evening Standard Monday.
Actually, giving the text a read-over, it appears that these so-called fakes are actually more useful and informative than the officially sanctioned announcements. See for yourself:
etc, etc. Click over to her website in a day or so to listen to the recordings, once the publicity from the worldwide stories on Reuters, BBC, etc, etc, has calmed down and the site comes back up.
Yeah, for the sake of the world I hope most people aren’t taking this quiz’s advice. How would you like ME to be your proctologist? Detective, I could almost see, what with me being so nosy and all; while I was in pre-med, I bailed when I realized that, should I fail to get into med school, I’d have to become some run of the mill biologist, and I’m soooo not into that. Mind you, if I could specialize in cryptozoology, that might almost be worth it. Still, with the friends I have, it’s almost as if I already do!

In shocking news from exotic Nottingham, we have learned that a disgruntled and highly competitive chocolatier has attacked and “inappropriately handled” the truffles of his competition.
Lynn Cunningham from Hotel Chocolat said: “It was quite extraordinary really.
“The staff observed Mr Colenso handling a number of truffles in a way that made them suspicious.
“When we checked the truffles later they had been squashed and damaged.”
She said Hotel Chocolat was told by Thorntons that Mr Colenso had “handled the truffles inappropriately“.
“We just want to move on now,” she said.
Let the healing process begin.
Remember, one should always be careful about letting one’s competitors finger one’s truffles.
So Stephen (you remember Stephen?) he was once even younger, and when he was younger he was, as is the way, more junior, and he wasn’t a restaurant manager at all but instead a busboy on the Princess Something, a Canadian Pacific cruise ship/ferry crossbreed cruising between Victoria and Seattle.
And CP, they had standards. In fact, they could be said to have standards the way the SS could be said to have been strict-ish. And one of their standards was that, by the time they docked in Seattle, every piece of cutlery and every piece of china aboard would have been washed and dried to perfection, regardless of time pressures, or staff would be fired.
And it always was.
And many were the evenings, pulling into port, that Stephen spent at the stern of the ship, gleefully tossing aft the plates that they didn’t have the extra 15 minutes to wash. Puget Sound is lined with CP china and silver flatware, should you ever feel like taking a diving vacation.
