British Man Awarded Damages For Sexual Harassment By Co-Worker's Breasts

A gay man is awarded £62,500 by English court for hurt feelings after being sexually harassed by a female colleague.


Heathrow security guard Allwyn Rondeau, pictured above, told how his life was ruined by Matilda Chilton.

In one incident, Ms. Chilton was said to 'wobble her breasts' at the 47-year-old and told him he 'wouldn't know what to do with a woman anyway'.

Psychiatrist Dr Neil Brener told the tribunal in Reading that Ms Chilton's attitude left Mr Rondeau 'quite traumatised'. Ms. Chilton would 'jiggle' her substantial breasts in his face and challenge him to grab them.

Judge Richard Byrne ruled Mr Rondeau had been discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation and awarded him a total of £62,500, which included money for loss of earnings.

'It wasn't the money that was important – it was justice that I wanted,' said Mr Rondeau, of Devon, whilst bicycling to the bank to deposit his award cheque.

The Atheists' World Wish List

A simple atheist wish list for the real world

From: Weird things (slightly modified by the editors)

September 29, 2010

In light of a recent post about the CFI’s schizophrenic views on atheism and accommodation-ism, and its bizarre approach to dealing with the media’s narratives in the great atheism vs. religion debate, I thought this might be a good time to take a step back and reflect on what it is that atheists realistically want. Not being considered amoral monsters as they’re stereotyped by pious con men, or derided for refusing to have sentimental views on an invisible, intangible entity because they see no proof for its existence would be a good start. But beyond that, what is it that would make atheists happier with the world around them? While I’m just one person and certainly can’t lay claim on representing all atheists, here’s one wish list for how the world would treat religion and science, and tell the difference between harmful dogma and sound, real world reason.

1. Real world facts should trump dogma. Despite the decades of accumulating statistics, medical research, and exhaustive studies, we still have policies based on an idea of piety that only made sense before the Medieval period. Catholic preaching and anti-scientific conspiracy mongering are directly contributing to the death toll of HIV and AIDS in Africa, placing more importance on Bible verses than on fellow humans. Spiritual alternative medicine tries to make people think of terrible diseases as a "spiritual challenge to be welcomed," rather than something to be excised and treated with cutting edge medical technology. When dealing with real world and immediate problems, we should be wondering what evidence there is for the recommendations we’re given, what technologies and treatments exist to remedy the condition, and how to solve the problem rather than the musings of a mythical creature we can’t see, to whom we can’t talk, and whose existence is inferred from how a priest or a religious devotee feels. If you really think whatever problems we face right now are a divine test, it’s your right to do so, of course. But for the love of FSM’s meatballs, follow tangible evidence to solve them.

2. Religion should not render you immune from criticism. Whenever someone brings up religion to defend a particularly nasty action, people should have the right to be appalled. Doing something because you believed you were commanded to do so by a deity doesn’t mean that what you did is right, and we should be allowed to take issue with that. Calling someone a person of faith, or pretending that there’s some hidden, deep morality in a questionable action just because religion is invoked should be completely meaningless. In any court that tries to establish a defendant’s moral character with a testimony of how often he or she attends church should be treated the same way we would consider how many times someone visits a car wash. Obviously, if you do something wrong, the blame should rest with you and trying to shift it to the supernatural is just a way out. And if your beliefs and the actions you take based on those beliefs are harmful to someone, or encourage the kind of irresponsible behavior that could get someone hurt or in trouble, they deserve to be ridiculed without any of the critics having to be subject to mewing about "respect for someone's faith." Religion doesn’t make good people. Good people raise and nurture other good people, regardless of religion or the lack thereof.

3. Religion should not be a justification for violence. Unfortunately, every day there’s a story about someone being killed thanks to faith-based violence. And while modern theologians might offer vague platitudes about a divine morality and human unity via religion, the reality is that faith is often what puts a wedge between us. In the world outside a trendy philosopher’s office, ritualized, religion-enabled violence is all too common and it ends countless lives on an all too regular basis. No one can take away your religious beliefs, but if you think a quote in a holy book gives you the right to take someone’s life or physically brutalize him for not offering what you feel is the proper relevance to your dogma, you should be considered a dangerous maniac rather than an enlightened follower of whoever you worship. And should you actually harm someone, or infringe on the rights of any other human being, you should be hauled to court to stand trial for what you’ve done without getting the kiddie glove treatment from local, equally pious authorities who give you a wink, a nod, and house arrest for a week for your religiously inspired crimes. This is less of a problem in the secular West, but in nations obeying religious laws, this is a constant issue. Of course, there’s always the Vatican’s approach to kids that should be sending courts and authorities on an arrest spree across Europe and America to take these "religious" felons off the streets, if not for the same artificial religious immunity we just mentioned standing in the way…

4. Religion should not be a tool of authority. While in secular states religions have no real sway on paper, in all truth, the power of religious institutions and their ability to project themselves into politics is obvious. If not for theocratically-oriented institutions and their followers, we wouldn’t have prayers against legislation, and a consistently flawed and failing sex-ed policy proven countless times to be far worse than comprehensive, scientifically backed curricula. We give religious organizations a free pass on taxes and then go on to lavish undue respect on people who threaten us with hellfire and supernatural punishment should we fail to obey them. Why? How does one earn such reverence by demanding it through threats and do it so well? I know the truth of the matter is that there will always be a religion of some sort out there, but the point is not to let beliefs trump common logic, good science, and the basics of human decency. Churches, temples, or mosques can demand that they be obeyed, but that doesn’t mean we have to do it. That’s the whole point of atheism. Just to be able to doubt, ask for proof, and refuse to follow along with something that makes no sense to you, or is a blatant and inherent violation of human rights to free will and well-being. When you enjoy religious texts for the sake of personal comfort, purpose, and solace, that’s one thing. But when you dictate that all around you must feel the same comfort, purpose, and solace you feel, and do as you tell them, that’s when we have a problem.

Dad, Dear Old Dad; Bring Me the Smack

Sh*t My Dad Smuggles In His Anus To Me In Prison


A father - son team hatched a business plan to smuggle a golf ball-sized piece of black tar heroin to the son, imprisoned in the federal Super-Max prison in Florence, CO.

The son was supposed to sell the dope to fellow inmates and the duo would make $22,000 on the deal. Dad wrapped the smack in plastic and hid it in his anus.

On arrival, Dad would transfer the smack from his own anus to his own mouth, then to his son's mouth via a kiss; son would swallow the heroin and retrieve it from his own anus later. Sound perfect?

They forgot that their telephone calls, working out the plan, were monitored by prison officials. When dad arrived with the loot he was strip searched, the plastic bag protruding from his skanky anus was seized, and he was busted and charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Dad also gave up his son as a co-conspirator in the plot. The son has not yet been charged.

Pictured in the above mug shot, Roberts was charged with pot and cocaine possession. He was freed after posting $1120 bond.

New Mexico Man Poops In Car of Stranger By Mistake - Intended to Poop In Girlfriend's Car - Stranger Displeased

September 29, 2010

No Time In Can For Notorious New Mexico Car Pooper


The New Mexico man who earlier this year mistakenly defecated in a stranger’s car--believing it was his girlfriend’s vehicle--has cut a plea deal sparing him jail time.

An amusing/revolting court filing describes how Austin Purifoy, 19, sought to dirty up Desiree Holguin’s ride, but instead soiled the vehicle of Gaylon Lovelace. Click here for a PDF of the document.

According to Detective Frank Torres of the Las Cruces Police Department, after Lovelace got off work one morning, he walked to his car and discovered an unknown male--later identified as Purifoy--“lying on his back on the rear seat.” Lovelace asked Purifoy, who appeared to be pulling up his underwear, what he was doing.

“This is your car? I thought this was Desiree’s car,” Purifoy answered before fleeing. Lovelace would later discover feces on a rear floorboard, and other assorted damage to his 2001 Honda Civic. Further police investigation revealed that Purifoy had also tossed a cinder block through the glass door of a business where Holguin apparently worked.

As first reported by Ashley Meeks in the Las Cruces Sun-News, Purifoy just copped to criminal property damage and attempted breaking and entering charges and was sentenced to probation (and ordered to pay about $500 to cover damages to Lovelace’s car and the business).

Purifoy, pictured in the above mug shot, has reportedly enlisted in the Army. It is unclear what drove him to try and strike out at his girlfriend, who was reportedly in Las Vegas at the time of Purifoy’s misdirected defecation.

Cops Bust Indiana Man Over Saggy Pants

Indiana Man In Saggy Pants Bust

Suspect, 21, told police he “was just swagging”


AUGUST 18--An Indiana man was arrested last night after cops spotted him with his pants “pulled down to his knees” and his boxer shorts exposed.

Demetrius Russ, 21, was sitting on top of an electrical box talking on his phone when approached by cop Daniel Green. According to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report, after Russ ignored Green’s repeated requests to provide ID, he announced, “You can’t ask me for shit.” Green reported telling Russ that he was “sitting on private property with his pants pulled down on top of an electrical box.”

When Green asked why his pants were so droopy, Russ noted that he “was just swagging.” The officer replied that, “swagging did not involve exposing your genitals through your boxers because your pants were pulled down all the way.” The term “swagging” generally refers to getting your drink on.

During his interaction with Green, a “belligerent” Russ allegedly cursed frequently and called the cop “nigga and muthafucker on several occasions.” While police contended that Russ appeared drunk, he claimed to have only consumed “one 40 ounce.”

Russ, pictured in the above photo, was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, since Indiana’s criminal codes apparently have yet to codify the offense of having one’s pants worn too low.

A Pennsylvania judge has been charged with approaching unsuspecting women and handing them acorns that he had hollowed out and stuffed with condoms. Here’s a photo of the goodies allegedly passed out by Judge Isaac Stoltzfus, a 58-year-old Republican who lives in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. (the evidence was photographed by photographers at The Patriot-News).

The judge, another Republican with a sexual fetish, said several women asked where he had gotten his nuts.
