The Age reports today that Queensland Police say it is a crime for anyone to even watch a viral video of a man swinging a baby around a room. Chris Illingworth, 60, a father of four from Maroochydore, was charged after he posted the video which he stumbled across on YouTube onto Liveleak - also a video sharing website. He has been charged with using the internet to access and publish child-abuse material. The charge has proven controversial because the baby - reportedly part of a Russian circus family - is shown laughing and smiling at the end of the clip.

On a side note, the Queensland police have deemed this as illegal material, therefore Australians would have this entire post censored under the Australian government’s compulsory internet filter.

So in the interest of newsworthiness, the video is linked below. What do you think?

This is a real product and cost me two bucks. I found it at my local takeaway. The water is surprisingly good too. I peeled off the label and scanned it in.

Hey, at least they’re honest.

You can find their website here.

I had a shocker getting home yesterday afternoon. Here’s a dodgy Google Map I created showing the route I had to take home. It really does not express the horror that I endured.

Some of these things may seem trivial to you, however, here is the Top 25 Things People Do On Trains That Really, Really Annoy Me.

1. Standing in the doorways when people are getting on or off the train.
2. People who stand on the right hand side of escalators instead of the left.
3. Selfish pricks who push though people getting off the train so they can get a seat.
4. (a) A large amount of people get on the train (READ: Flinders St Station Afternoon Peak Hour) (b) someone sits in the middle of the carriage. (c) After picking up a couple of thousand more commuters at Parliament, Melbourne Central and Flagstaff the person mentioned in (b) then realizes they have to get off at North Melbourne.
5. Idiots who congregate at the bottom of the escalators leading to the platforms at Flinders St Station during peak hour.
6. Idiots who congregate at the top of the escalators leading to the concourse at Flinders St Station during peak hour.
7. People who think the train is some form of restaurant and bring along a full buffet breakfast, lay it out on their lap and then dine.
8. Morons who get off escalators or lifts during peak hour and then for some reason only known to them, stop dead in their tracks.
9. Stupid people who have phone conversations at the top of their voice broadcasting for all to hear.
10. People who set their iPod’s volume level to “I choose to be partially deaf by the time I’m 25 years of age”
11. Selfish assholes who obviously try to race you to the ticket machine to get there before you. You FAIL. I bought my weekly ticket 3 days earlier.
12. People who don’t believe in using deodorant.
13. Dudes who sneeze loudly without covering their nose/mouth.
14. Asking me for money.
15. Vandals who graffiti the train carriage while it is packed.
16. When the train is packed, and I mean PACKED, as in sardines packed, someone who can’t get on the train yells “Can you please move down the aisle more?”. We did. Three stops ago.
17. “Tough guys” who smoke on the train. Add points if they do it between carriages.
18. Junkies who chrome or shoot up.
19. People with flatulence.
20. Mentally vacant idiots without headphones who play hand held game consoles with the volume up.
21. People who are standing near or across the train doors as it pulls up to a station who doesn’t get off to let the 350 people behind them alight. The train is not going to leave without you.
22. Clumsy people who spill their coffee/can of coke on the floor and watch as it makes its way across the carriage at every bend and turn in the track.
23. Retards who are happily talking on their phone and then exclaim, “Hello? Are you there? You’re breaking up!” 15 seconds after the train enters the city loop.
24. School kids with more than one bag.
25. Mentally unstable people who really should be on meds and want to start a conversation with you for no apparent reason.

There you go, that’s the Top 25 Things People Do On Trains That Really, Really Annoy Me. Did I miss anything? What habits/actions that people do on public transport that makes you want to punch them in the nose?
