Things that make you go What the F**k?

Race relations in general in the US are no where as bad as a fish out of water in the flashpoint areas of the north. The only advantage is unless you're in your Rangers or Celtic gear it's a little harder to single you out than if you're black 'in the white man's world'.

I think what happened to Trayvon Martin was horrible but a big part of the story seems to have been lost in the rush for people to use the case to support their own causes. The way he was dressed, a hoodie, was likely a huge part of why he was profiled too. It's like chav culture in the UK, how you carry yourself is as much a part of how people judge you are your ethnicity or religion. A hoodie has become a symbol of threat and danger and when you added it with Martin being black you got a toxic mixture.

WTF?

It's a hoodie. I own a couple. They're an item of clothing. My own GAA club even sell their own club emblemed hoodie.

The young fella is black.

The mixture of the two is a "toxic mixture".

Christ, I give up.

BTW, Zimmerman is a murdering bastid IMO, 'acquitted by a Limerick Jury'.

Hoodie have become a symbol to a lot of people in America and even here, plenty of shops frown upon people coming in with their hoods up for obvious reasons and that's only fed into the reputation.

Couple a youth with a hoodie by its nature isn't a problem but when you mix in people's prejudices and in this case someone who's black it really was a horrible concoction.

Immediately after the killing the Miami Heat posted a picture of themselves in hoodies in a show of support so yeah, 'hoodie culture' is a very real thing.

Don't most clubs?? I wear them out to work in the winter and so do most of the lads I work with. Syferus, I don't think you have a clue about "chav" culture in the UK to be honest.

When you think of some of the knackers who avoided jail terms yet these two get sent down you have to think the legal system is a bit banjaxed. Not condoning their actions by the way.

You never saw the Cameron "hug a hoodie" thing? Wearing a hoodie doesn't make you a chav but there is definitely a perception that chav's wear hoodies.

Sums it up pretty well, in some Uk shopping centres having your hood up is banned , wearing a hoodie is not banned. Id be far more concerned about the amount of clowns who go around wearing their trousers hanging below their arse!

Girl to me whilst giving her a lift to Donegal: Why do some of those trees in the fields have little fences built around them?

Me to girl: They're roaming pines. The farmers fence them in to stop them from moving all over the field.

Girl (deadly serious)  Wow, I've never seen those before!

End of Conversation. She wasn't even blonde!

WTF!!

Get that to the nearest power station or furnace and watch it burn, 14 tonnes of fat, pubes and wipes could power a large town for the evening.

While many Chinese parents continue to struggle to find safe and trusted milk powder for their babies, some in Shenzhen are paying to enjoy a new "nourishment" – human breast milk – and a few of them are doing so by breast feeding, according to Chinese media.

Increasing numbers of adults have been hiring wet nurses so they can consume breast milk for its nutritional value, Lin Jun, a manager of Xinxinyu Household Service Company in the southern city of Guangdong, told the Southern Metropolis Daily. Lin went on to say that his company is promoting and expanding its breast milk supply business from babies to adults, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.

"Clients can choose to consume breast milk directly through breastfeeding ... but they can always drink it from a breast pump if they feel uncomfortable," the paper quoted Lin as saying. He claimed breast milk was now popular among adults with high incomes and high-pressure jobs and who suffered from poor health.

"Quite a few of our clients hire in-house wet nurses to ensure a supply of fresh breast milk on a daily base," Lin said in the report, adding "wet nurses rarely raise objections as long as the price is right."

A spokesperson for the company who refused to be identified on Tuesday claimed the report was entirely false, insisting his company's household services did not include recommending wet nurses. The allegations were malicious gossip aimed at driving his company out of business, he told the South China Morning Post by phone.

However, Xinxinyu Household Service Company's advertisements can be seen on a number of marketing websites, promoting the high quality services of its wet nurses, as well as its nannies, stewards, confinement nurses and tutors. The advertisements state that the company's wet nurses can provide services to adults in poor health. Photos online show wet nurses and staff with what appear to be company logos on the walls.

According to the newspaper report, a wet nurse who provides breast milk to adults can earn an average monthly wage of 16,000 yuan (HK$20,238). A healthy and attractive wet nurse can earn even more, the paper was told.

The claims seem to be supported by adverts placed by Xinxinyu on at least one recruitment website for positions of wet nurses with monthly salaries of between 12,000 to 20,000 yuan.

"Consuming human breast milk is quite popular among my social circle ... spending 10,000 to 20,000 yuan hiring a wet nurse is not uncommon at all," Southern Metropolis Daily also quoted an anonymous client as saying, "although only a few people would suck breast milk directly from a wet nurses' nipples."

The anonymous client said he paid 15,000 yuan to a wet nurse and had her live at his home for a month, according to the report.

Legal experts have warned that the practice may be a form of sexual service. "There is an essential difference between sucking on a breast and drinking from a pump, as the former largely exceeds the necessity of diet," Guangdong lawyer Mei Chunlai said.

But Shenzhen police told the paper that it would be difficult to prove if the act was a sex crime as it was hard to acquire evidence.
