Food-ad tricks
What does a glop of Vaseline have to do with a burger commercial?
I worked in advertising for years and was always impressed by how the stylists made food appear "piping hot". A tampon dipped in water, then wrapped in clingfilm, put in a microwave for a couple of minutes, placed under the back rim of the plate ... instant steaming hot food!
They don't tell you that, do they?

A teenage bagpiper has been told to stop practising outside his home because the noise is upsetting some of his neighbours.
Andrew Caulfield, 13, and his mother, Elaine, have been warned they face a noise abatement order because his skirl scores two decibels above the accepted limit.

'Cockroach papers' buy-up denied
A restaurant owner who was fined £20,000 after an insect was discovered in a meal has denied buying up every local newspaper reporting the case.
The story about live cockroaches being found in food served by the Sea Palace in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, was splashed all over local papers.
But, mysteriously, those editions were snapped up from local shelves.

Pakistan deletes 'pro-Bush' poem
Pakistan's government is to remove a poem from a school textbook after it emerged the first letters of each line spelt out "President George W Bush".
Patient and steady with all he must bear,
Ready to meet every challenge with care,
Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong in his faith, refreshingly real.
Isn't afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn't conform to the usual mould,
Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do,
Never backs down when he sees what is true,
Tells it all straight, and means it all too.
Going forward and knowing he's right,
Even when doubted for why he would fight,
Over and over he makes his case clear,
Reaching to touch the ones who won't hear.
Growing in strength he won't be unnerved,
Ever assuring he'll stand by his word.
Wanting the world to join his firm stand,
Bracing for war, but praying for peace,
Using his power so evil will cease,
So much a leader and worthy of trust,
Here stands a man who will do what he must.
