SAN FRANCISCO - It's not nice to call someone "chicken butt" on the air - but it's not slanderous either. A state appeals court this week dismissed a slander lawsuit filed against a radio station by a former contestant of the Fox television show "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire." Jennifer Seelig sued KLLC-FM in San Francisco after a DJ called her a "local loser" and a "chicken butt." The Court of Appeal said Seelig had no cause to sue because she had invited media scrutiny
when she agreed to appear on the TV show. It said the comments were merely an expression of opinion. The court also ruled Seelig must pay the legal fees of the station and its employees under a state law that penalizes suits that seek to squelch free speech.

A  MUNICH, Germany - A nosy acquaintance spying on his neighbour panicked when he thought he saw the man carry a dead body into his apartment. The voyeur immediately called the police and told them about the supposed corpse. Police went to the alleged offender's apartment to question him, and at first, the man appeared to be "surprised and disturbed" by their questions. He quickly denounced any wrongdoing by showing them the "dead body." The "corpse" turned out to be the latest addition to his sex doll collection, and police simply closed the file on the false murder case. According to a police spokeswoman, "The man also showed the officers four other inflatable sex dolls he owns. Apparently, he had just been testing out his new acquisition when police arrived." Thanks for the imagery.
