What's up with the BBC these days? From a time when "BBC English" indicated the highest standards of grammar and punctuation, it seems to have declined to a point where not even its headlines get properly proofread. Here are some random examples of scrambled English found on the BBC News website today:

Ohio animal Terry Thompson owner shot himself - police

The uprising that eventually overthrew him started in Libya's February 2011 in second city Benghazi,

Another story spells skis as skies and minuscule as miniscule (the word comes from the same root as minus, not miniature).

Has the BBC's budget been cut to the point where correct English is no longer affordable!

Does anyone in Hong Kong really believe Rita Fan's claim that she knows little of what happened in Beijing in June 1989? Asked about the Tiananmen massacre, she said she was in Hawaii at the time and only knew what she saw on CNN. But considering that CNN was giving an almost literally blow-by-blow account of the events as they happened, does Fan really think she would have learned more if she had been watching CCTV? Furthermore, as a member of China's parliament (I do not say a representative of Hong Kong to it, since Hong Kong people have no say in who supposedly "represents" them), is it plausible that she has not bothered to acquaint herself with the details of one of the pivotal events of modern Chinese history?

All this would be academic if Fan were not a probable candidate for the post of next Chief Executive of Hong Kong. But since she is, do we want to be led by a woman who appears more concerned with not contradicting Beijing's official line on the massacre - sorry, "unfortunate incident" - of June 4th 1989 than with finding out the truth? Or, if we accept her story, by a woman who can't be bothered to do her political homework? Either way, I think not.

Sexy Hot Swedish Women - Mini Anden Naked

Mini Anden is an extremely beautiful and sexy Swedish model and actress. From Stockholm, Mini was born Susanna Anden and got her start in modeling at a very young age. At the age of 10 she started modeling and signed with Elite Modeling Agency at the age of 15. Anden has had a long career in modeling gracing the covers of magazines such as: Vogue, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Elle. Other claims to fame include judging the Miss Universe 2001 beauty pageant and hosting the Swedish section of “Scandinavia’s Next Top Model”. I guess beautiful people love to be around beautiful people because in 2001, Mini married model Taber Schroeder and they live in Los Angeles.

God love Swedish women for not having the fear of showing their bodies that their American counterparts do. This picture was taken for a spread in the Vogue Homme International. Yes, that is really Mini and yes, she is completely naked. Her beautiful brown hair is wet and slicked back. The expression on her face is saying, “What the hell are you looking at?”. The beauty of the picture, however, is how well it shows off Mini’s beautiful body. You get a great view of her small breasts. Small as they are, they are quite perky and firm. Then, you get a great view of her pussy. She doesn’t have that much trimming going on which shows the European side to her. It is what looks like a tight little pussy which is nice.

Sexy Hot Arab Women - Carole Samaha

Carole Samaha is an extremely beautiful and sexy Arab singer. She’s actually Lebanese. Although she has release 5 albums and has had a very successful music career, Samaha is no dummy. She has a master’s degree in acting and directing. For the fruits of her labor Carole was nominated for Best Arabia Act in the 2008 MTV Music Awards. It may be surprising that she got her start in acting and in the theatre. Actually, at a very young age, she got the attention of those that would help her through her career. She definitely doesn’t need any help now, though.

This picture (which appears to be from an album cover) shows a cheeky side to Samaha. The first thing you notice are those sexy Arabian eyes. Just like Cleopatra, they have a way of tearing right through you to your soul. Then there’s her beautiful face and fun bob haircut. Unfortunately, you can’t see her beautiful body very well here, but she does have a very nice set of medium breasts. You can also see her tight little ass through the jeans she’s wearing. I also like the way that she’s already laying down in this picture. It makes you think you can join right in.
