You’ve heard of moving violations? Well, a Tennessee state legislator wants to add “movie” violations to his state’s traffic laws.

Rep. Bubba Pleasant has proposed banning the showing of “dirty movies” in limos, vans and other vehicles. He claims people stuck in traffic sometimes can’t avoid seeing offensive films and videos on screens in adjacent cars.

Critics contend the ban would be unconstitutional – and difficult to enforce. “Are we going to have police officers peering into car windows?” one asked.

Some men kiss and tell. This guy kissed and yelled.

Seems a man in the Czech city of Cheb met a woman at a local bar and eagerly agreed to walk her home. Then she said she wanted to kiss him goodnight – and bit off his tongue, police say.

He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors successfully sewed his tongue back on.

Legislators in the Mexican city of Colima have come up with a way to protect elderly men from gold-digging young women. They’ve banned divorce on the grounds of impotency.

Under an old city law, incurable impotence was grounds for divorce. But local official Roberto Chapula said it put old men in danger.

“There are many young women who marry old men, and when they get enough money from them, they just ask for the divorce saying they are impotent,” he said.

Some Russian schoolkids have come up with a honey of a way to remove bad marks from their report cards, according to Pravda.

They pour honey over the low mark and then let cockroaches eat away at it.

Pravda reports the roaches eat the ink as well as the honey without leaving any evidence. Except, perhaps, for homes overrun with roaches.

“Bling bling” and “phat” have hip-hopped their way into the dictionary. They’re among the colloquialisms included in the new edition of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.

Bling bling, of course, refers to flashy jewelry; and phat means good.

“Language change is inevitable and to try to stop it is futile,” notes Longman adviser Professor David Crystal.
