Maddy McCann was probably kidnapped in this Cheetos van

As spotted in a Mediterranean resort. They don't sell Frazzles on the continent so Cheetos are the paedophile's crisps of choice by default. It's strange that the McCann's spokesperson hasn't ever mentioned it, seeing how conspicuous it is. I imagine the driver looks like a cross between the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the anthropomorphic leopard from the Cheetos packet, which would be funny were it not for the fact that there's probably a semi-professional photography studio and a set of rusty, unwashed hacksaws in the back of the van.

What? Too soon?

Belgians like their fast food to urinate on them

First, a bit of culture: Are you aware the Manneken Pis? It's a fountain/statue in Brussels of a small boy having a piddle into a pool.From Wikipedia: "Manneken Pis (help·info) (Dutch for little man urinating), also known in French as the petit Julien, is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin.

The famous statue is located at the junction of Rue de l'Étuve/Stoofstraat and Rue du Chêne/Eikstraat. To find it, one takes the left lane next to the Brussels Town Hall from the famous Grand Place and walks a few hundred meters to arrive at the spot. The statue will be on the left corner."

And then, just down the road is this sign:Apparently R Kelly loves this place.


Thanks to Sanjay for the spot.

Food we can imagine paedophiles eating #1: Doner Kebab Pot Noodle

It had to happen at some point, didn't it? I just found this as I am sad enough to have a Google News alert set up for the word "kebab".

Says Grahame Walker, Pot Noodle Flavour Development Manager: "Kebab Pot Noodle is truly the clash of the male food titans! When it came to developing a new flavour there was one obvious choice, the nation's favourite late-night takeaway. We know men love a good kebab as well as a Pot Noodle so we thought we'd combine the two to create the ultimate man food snack, bar nann!"

What steps in life do you take to become a flavour development manager for a dried food? Good to see it hasn't eroded his sense of humour with that geographically inaccurate bread pun anyway. Here's the press release in a stunningly bad flash website.
