Back to regular nonsense and insanity

In an article that definitely wasn't rewritten from a press release it turns out:



Ford Kas are the least likely cars to be stolen because they "have no street cred among thieves", an ex-burglar turned security expert has claimed.




Uh huh...



The insurance comparison website Confused.com [Roobin's note: who weren't just spamming national newspapers with press releases in the hope of getting a mention] analysed its insurance data and found that not one of its customers had claimed for the theft of a Ford Ka between 2004 and 2011.




I know what you're thinking now, so let's find out...



The Toyota Yaris is the number one most stolen car, with approximately one in every 244 models lost to thieves, followed by the the Volkswagen Touareg, with 1 in every 236 stolen. Next came the the Volvo XC90 (1 in 370), the Porsche 911 (1 in 417), and the humble Seat Altea (1 in 435).




How interesting... No, wait, the opposite of interesting. Meanwhile NME editor wonders why rock bands aren't so political anymore. Sun rise, sun set.

In an attempt to "give encouragement and inspiration to the activists of today", Yoko Ono has posted online a 70-minute documentary she made with John Lennon in 1969. Titled Bed Peace, the film – previously available on VHS – documents the couple's second attempt to promote world peace through lying in bed for a week at the height of the Vietnam war.




I'm feeling sleepy. So WAKE UP and PAY ATTENTION. Hosni Mubarak's in court again.
