There's a video game character called Geese Howard - although maybe he gets away with it because he is apparently a collection of geese rather than a single one!

'My aunt's loft was insulated with thousands of cigarettes'
Ballymena: Cigarette butts and filters used to insulate attic
The last thing you'd expect to find in an attic is cigarette butts and filters, but that's exactly what was uncovered in a County Antrim house.

From Lego to GTA: How Iran and US are using pop culture to fight the propaganda war
Like a disturbing ‘Lego Movie’ version of ‘Team America: World Police’, a clip posted by Iranian state media is just one example of information warfare between Tehran and Washington. Bryony Gooch reports
www.independent.co.uk
This isn't my preferred source for articles, I knew about them before and was looking for a way to post it here, but has anyone seen those AI-generated Lego propaganda videos Iran has been making?
It is exceedingly surreal to see Lego Trump with Lego Satan (both with gross human hands) commanding little Lego US Marines and Lego US soldiers to war, to then be obliterated by Lego Iran's superior Lego ballistic missiles. And then to imagine this is being distributed as genuine propaganda to just really whip up some fervor.
Hopefully this isn't too serious to be put on this usually light-hearted thread..?

I suppose Hollywood has been putting out anti-foreigner films for decades (or, at least, films where America triumphs and stands tall at the end), and so I can understand other countries wanting to do the same*
I remember hearing that part of the reason why Sony bought a major U.S. motion picture company was because they wanted to stop (or at least control) the anti-Japanese films that were being produced (I am assuming that Robocop 3 is one example)
*Godzilla itself was apparently a veiled reference to the nuclear weapons using against Japan in WW2; also - Japanese wrestling companies often used American wrestlers as villains

I'm not even sure if it's genuine. But it is from Florida.
"A Florida has been woman accused of entering the penguin enclosure to teach them to tap dance, using a live alligator as her partner. Jacksonville FL PD stated she was also dressed as a pineapple."
