British Gov. Seeking Mud Wrestlers for Good Clean Fun

Nottingham, UK - A Government job center is looking for a few nice girls to put on bikinis and wrestle in the mud. The job pays £10 an hour and free transportation is available.

Mind you it isn't anything dirty, just good clean mud wrestling. Employers insist that the job is 'not porn' or 'adult work', but involves 'light-hearted mud-wrestling' for a website. The advertisement appeared on a DirectGov website asking for women who are "bubbly and confident" to mud wrestle for a pay-per-view website.

Claire Hunter, 27, of Nottinghamshire, said: 'I think this is demeaning.

'If I wanted to star in a seedy per-per-view mud wrestling contest I would expect a lot more than £10 or £15-an-hour."

Phantasia Leisure, the company running the ad, assures applicants that the pay does meet the countries minimum wage requirements and ads that a tax credit may be available. The company also runs casinos, wedding discos, singers, bands, novelty acts, fairground rides, and a limo service. Read all about it

The author of SB1453 says California would be the first state to implement such technology if it decides to adopt the plates on a large scale. Supporters say license-plate advertising could generate much-needed revenue in the state which is facing a $19 billion deficit. Read all about it

As the story goes Paul and John Lennon had a disagreement causing McCartney to storm from the studio. While driving along in a tither he picked up a female hitchhiker. As the two proceeded on their way the girl recognized Paul and threw herself on him in a dazzle of hugs and kisses, causing him to crash the car. Paul died.

Later the remaining Beatles were contacted by MI5 and asked to come to the scene of the crash. MI5, acting on the idea that Paul's death would lead to wide spread suicide among British youth, hatched the plan to replace McCartney with known look-alike William Campbell.
