An Australian man’s dare went horribly wrong when he tried to play chicken with cars on a freeway wearing only his underwear. The 18 year old was critically injured after being hit by a four-wheel drive on a freeway in the southern city of Melbourne in the early hours of Wednesday, police said in a statement.
“Police are dismayed at the utter stupidity of a man who decided to play chicken on the Tullamarine Freeway,” the statement said.
“It was lucky nobody was killed as a result and police couldn’t believe anybody would be foolish enough to take such grave risks with their personal safety and that of other road users.” The driver and passenger in the car were unhurt, though the vehicle was a write-off.

Britney Spears’ mother, Lynne, killed a 12-year-old child in an accident when she was just 20-years-old.
Anthony Winters was killed after Lynne rounded a corner in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana striking the boy who was riding a bike with friends in the street. There was oncoming traffic and Lynne could not stop her car in time. She had been on her way to the hospital, taking her brother there for an injury.
Spears’ publicist, Louise Taylor, confirmed the National Enquirer article saying that Lynne is understandably still haunted by the incident and has tried to keep the tragedy out of the papers.
She added, “The boy died at the hospital as a result of his injuries. Lynne, to this day, is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.”
If you are old enough to remember when Madonna got pregnant the first time around you probably remember her seeking out the perfect specimen that would, for all genetical purposes, be the impeccable father of her first child.
Carlos Leon was that man. But what is Lourdes’ father like, and what does he have to say about all the recent controversy surrounding Madonna?
He says of his 11-year-old daughter, “She’s at that point where she can call me and say, ‘Hey Dad, what’s up? What time are you going to get me?’ It’s really cool. We talk every day.”
He hints that Madonna is the disciplinarian of the two. “It’s hard for me to be the tough guy with my daughter. Maybe I should work on the discipline stuff, but I could leave her mother to do that!”
He adds that they must be doing something right because Lourdes is growing into a beautiful young lady. “Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don’t have a driver. That’s how I keep her grounded. Her mom does a good job too – she’s not that person that everyone thinks. She’s very laidback and cool.”
When asked what his opinion is of the whole Madonna Alex Rodriguez scandal he says confidently, “Trust me, that’s a lie. I know for a fact, she wouldn’t do that.”
Nas has banded together with ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org to gather over 620,000 signatures petitioning Fox News and Bill O’Reilly (who used the phrase “lynching party” recently) for their racist propaganda against the Obama family and black Americans.
50 Cent is suing Taco Bell after they used his name in a marketing ploy to advertise their prices.
Taco Bell President Greg Creed officially asked the rapper to change his name from 50 Cent to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent and promised $10K to his favorite charity if he agreed. He wrote,
“We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”
You had to admit, it was funny, but you knew he would never do it.
Well Fiddy isn’t laughing. He’s pissed that his fans are accusing him of being a sellout and he feels the company used his name to sell their products. He’s asking for $1 million.
Lawsuit documents read,
“Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.”
I’m sure Taco Bell is still loving all this attention. A piddly million was completely worth all the advertising they got from this - and then some.
