Some profoundly disturbing stuff lately...

Satan is very subtle these days. Great publicity. Everyone in Poland will go and see it now.

Some people are just too stupid for words. I saw the movie and definitely felt my mind was corrupted and violated by the experience.

Lego is a tool of Satan, warns Polish priest

Father Slawomir Kostrzewa says toy company represents 'world of death' and that Zombie and Monster Fighter mini-figures can lead children 'to the dark side'



A Polish priest has warned parents to be on their guard against Lego, warning the plastic blocks are a tool of Satan and can "destroy" children's souls.

In a presentation aimed at parents, Father Slawomir Kostrzewa said the popular Danish toy company had taken a lurch to the dark side with its series of Monster Fighters and Zombie mini-figures, and that they "were about darkness and the world of death".

"Friendly fellows have been replaced by dark monsters," he explained. "These toys can have a negative effect on children. They can destroy their souls and lead them to the dark side."

Lego's Monster Fighters range features Lord Vampyre, a fanged Dracula-like character, who battles the likes of Doctor Rodney Rathbone and Major Quinton Steele as they try to prevent him from "cloaking the world in darkness".

The priest also cited research by New Zealand's University of Canterbury that found the facial expressions of Lego figures have also become angrier over the years, and that this compounded their evil potential.

"Facial expressions may be lead to confusion between good and evil," said Father Kostrzewa. "It appears the good suffer in battle and the 'villains' have a face showing satisfaction with their evil deeds."

But the claims that Lego blocks are becoming the work of the devil was dismissed by at least one expert.

"These are just blocks," retorted Monika Filipowska, a psychologist interviewed by the Super Express newspaper. "Linking them to Satan is just wrong, and all that will happen is that children will be afraid of them now."

Father Kostrzewa's attack on Lego is not the first time he has accused toys of harbouring evil. Hello Kitty and My Little Pony have also come under his scrutiny, with the latter being described as a "carrier of death".

Lego was unavailable for comment.

Impoverished mother Pattaramon Chanbua has told the ABC she gave birth to twins after agreeing to be a surrogate with a promised payment of about $16,000.

The Western Australian couple rejected six-month-old Gammy and only took his healthy sister home with them, and Ms Chanbua says she cannot afford Gammy's medical treatment.

She has told the ABC she refused the couple's request to terminate the pregnancy because in Thai culture it was considered sinful.

Yes, saw that online. The little baby actually looks "asian", what's the problem? What is she doing with the 16K, buying herself a house and a bike?

Sad about the poor baby though. What future will he have?

Well, apparently the biological mother (as well as the surrogate) is asian. Not all Aussies are white, y'know, Naff. Get with the times

Mongoloid kids (Downs Syndrome) look ASIAN ... sort of. It has to do with the EYES, mate.

I said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Asians, Aboriginals, Italians, Greeks, Americans, the French, the Poms, the welfare Aussies or anyone. What "times" should I get with, Boxhead? Hey?

Oh, and PS. What makes you think that I am NOT an Aboriginal person? Be careful of what you say, dear! You could be in BIG trouble.

Holey crap on a stick

The ABC understands a West Australian father at the centre of a surrogacy scandal in Thailand has a child sex offence conviction.

The 56-year-old man from Bunbury in the state's South West was jailed for sexually molesting two girls under the age of 10 when he was in his 20s.

He was also accused in 1997 of another six charges of indecently dealing with a child.

When does this bloke get his medal?

Do you get medals just for getting shot, in the line of duty?

[IQS.RLOW]

I mean the guy who did the shooting. The land clearing nazis need shooting.
