A man claiming to have a bomb in his backpack has triggered a hostage situation near a court complex in western Sydney.
Australian police have sealed off a building in a tense standoff with the man, who is understood to be issuing demands from a lawyer’s office where he is holed up with his teenage daughter.

We posted this (completely innocent) pic a while back.
Now, someone’s gone to the trouble of collecting a few more (probably NSFW despite how much you argue to the contrary) examples of ‘rude’ pareidolia.

66 years ago, Richard Sullivan’s father filmed the spontaneous celebrations on Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki, Hawaii when news of the Japanese surrender was announced. Two years ago, he had it restored to mint condition when the Kodachrome 16mm colour film was digitally scanned.
You won’t get that colour reproduction on your iPhone.

“Despite his [Bertie Ahern’s] defence of himself, however, the first episode of The Rise And Fall Of Fianna Fail didn’t do him any favours. The opening half was a breathless history of the party, a kind of Fianna Fail for Dummies, which finished up by interviewing some of the dummies.
Willie O’Dea, his moustache quivering like a cornered hamster, talked of his lack of trust of Charles Haughey. “I heard a lot of rumours”, he said, looking slightly amused by it all, although he didn’t tell us what they were.
Former TD Martin Mansergh described Haughey, the most corrupt politician in the history of the Republic of Ireland, as a “substitute father figure”.
Ahern wasn’t interviewed about Haughey (last night, anyway) but the programme did feature footage of him praising his immediate predecessor at his funeral and defending Ray Burke in the Dail.
It was passionate stuff on both occasions. It was impossible to avoid the view that Ahern only saw what he wanted to see, and that this lack of curiosity about people badly affected his judgement, of other people and of his own deeds.”
