Custom Officials discovered approximately 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy that was sent to Australia from Ireland.
When the Australian Custom officials opened the parcel they were greeted with the smiling face of this popular children’s toy. However when they removed the back panel of the toy they found the ecstasy tablets contained in a plastic bag.
Officials turned the matter over to federal police. No arrests have been made at this time as the case is still under investigation. The maximum penalty for importing drugs to Australia is life imprisonment.
“Whilst this is one of the more unusual concealments that we have seen in recent times, people need to be aware that Customs officers are alert to unusual and often outlandish methods of concealment,” Customs Director Post Karen Williams said.

It seems that we keep hearing more and more often about people having problems with drugs, alcohol and even Pain Killer Addiction, don’t we? I don’t know if the problem is becoming worse, or if people are just being more open about the fact that they have a problem and the fact that they’ve gone to rehab to get help.
What do you think?
Certainly the stars seem to be more open about going to rehab these days!
If you, or someone that you know, has a problem with alcohol, drugs or appears to be addicted to pain killers you might want to visit the Sunset Malibu rehab facility.

Have you ever wished that you could be a lucky person. That good things would happen or that anything you tried to do, especially if it was for your own betterment would work out? Well, you might just be able to do that now.
The creators of the hit movie The Secret have created Official Site: The Secret Science of Getting Rich. The movies launch was one of the most successful word of mouth campaigns ever. It hit Alexa’s movers and shakers list, and went to number one on Amazon.com’s best selling book and DVD lists. Larry King, Oprah Winfrey and other talk shows discussed the movie too, as did the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, NY Times, and Newsweek.
The secret is a methodology that helps people improve their life. With the techniques that you’ll learn at the Official Secret Seminar you’ll learn how to focus on the positive and attract great things. They call this the law of attraction.
As I said earlier everyone wants to do better for themselves. Now you can learn how. It’s basically a how to program, seminar and affiliate program. Some of the top teachers from the movie will be present at the seminars to teach you all of the steps on the road to building your own wealth.
The teachers that will be at the seminars are Jack Canfield who wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul, Bob Proctor who is a creme de la cream success coach, and of course Michael Beckwith who happens to be a popular spiritual leader.
If you are interested please visit the official site. The program isn’t cheap but they say that you can make a lot of money through this program so it might be worth the cost.
