Just kidding. Anteaters don’t actually want to eat you- they want to eat delicious ants. But they are sensitive to noise, it seems:

Anteaters on Vacation

It’s nice that the zookeepers sent them away to avoid the disturbance. Though I’m sure the two people who died in the clash don’t care so much about that. But Hell, there’s 6 billion people on this Earth, and not nearly so  many anteaters. I think they deserve a little special treatment.

We received this yesterday, a short video featurette of the upcoming Pang Brothers remake Bangkok Dangerous. Enjoy!

Gary Glitter, who was recently released from a Vietnamese prison where he did three years for diddling children, is ‘in transit’ at Bangkok airport after refusing to board a flight to London. I don’t know about you, but after spending 3 years in a Vietnamese prison, I’d gladly fly just about anywhere other than Vietnam. Maybe he should charter a flight to Washington D.C. - he could buy John McCain a beer and they could swap Vietnamese prison stories.

“The last information we have is that shortly before the flight to the UK departed he declined to board. We were last aware that he remained in transit,” a spokesman said.

British newspapers, who had reporters on the plane with Glitter as he left Vietnam, said he had collapsed in a bedroom at the Tavern, complaining of heart problems and demanding to be taken to hospital.

He had a series of confrontations with British embassy officials and Thai immigration police, who refused him entry to Thailand because of his conviction in Vietnam for child sex offences, the newspapers reported.

Authorities freed British glam rocker Gary Glitter from prison in southern Vietnam on Tuesday, sending the convicted child molester into an uncertain future after nearly three years of confinement.

BONUS VIDEO: Seriously, was anyone surprised when he was caught?

I don’t know very much about this film (which is a Pang Brothers-directed remake of their own 1999 film of the same name), but its’ been in the can for two years. Apparently some political turmoil in Thailand hampered production. Looks fun, though. Bangkok Dangerous is out September 5th.

There are so many transvestite students at Kampang School in Thailand (200 out of a student body of 2,600) that the school has built a restroom strictly for use by cross-dressing attendees. Personally, I think this is a good thing…I’ve never felt comfortable taking a piss next to a guy in a dress.

“I’m so happy about this,” Vichai Sangsakul, a teenager with a pixie hairdo pulled back with a pink barrette, told Thailand’s PBS new channel on Tuesday. “It looks bad going to female restrooms. What would other people think?”

Most rural Thais are conservative in many ways, but the trailblazing toilet initiative at the school in northeastern Sisaket province reflects another aspect of Thai society: its tolerance of the country’s very visible transsexual and transvestite community.

“These students want to be able to go to the restroom in peace without fear of being watched, laughed at or groped,” said school director Sitisak Sumontha. Using female restrooms made some of the other students uncomfortable and using the men’s room often resulted in harassment, he said.
