Bad news, bear.
Knut, the adorable polar-bear cub who has become a Berlin zoo’s most famous resident, is being put on a diet – and that means no more croissants.
“If Knut would live outdoors, his extra weight wouldn’t be so bad,” said a zoo vet. “He would simply build up his fat reserves for the winter.”
But in captivity, Knut won’t need the blubber to stay warm in winter, so he is stuck with his special porridge of milk, meat, cod-liver oil and vitamins.
“Extras like croissants will need to be dropped,” the vet said.
If bears on bad diets isn’t enough for you check out this post that I came across that lists 15 very unfortunate ad placements. Some are quite funny.

I certainly wouldn’t want to share my name with a famous movie character. Lately I’ve heard the tale of not just the movie Harry Potter, but two real life Harry Potter’s.
Two weeks ago I heard that a Brantford, Ontario Harry Potter was besieged with calls about the new Harry Potter book and movie and now I’ve just read about a 78 year old Florida man who’s name happens to be Harry Potter. He too has been getting calls from children every time a new book in the wildly popular series comes out.
“The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he said. “I tell them I’ve been Harry Potter for darn near 80 years!”

Chongqing China has begun to use outdoor toilets on it’s famous “Foreigners’ Street”. The pubic toilets cover a mans privates but not his face, which has obviously aroused some curiosity. Local guards and employees in the area have used the outdoor restrooms, but most men find it much too embarrassing to use. The womens version of the outdoor bathroom covers the person entirely.
