New Car For Women

Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women.They are mixing the Clio and the Taurus, and calling it the "Clitaurus."It comes in pink, and the average male thief won't be able to find it, even if someone tells him where it is.

Thankyou barbara for this post/joke,I love you my slut in boots xxx

YouTube turns to movie rental business

Video-sharing site YouTube is taking its first steps into the online movie rental business. The fledgling service will go live on 22 January. Initially only five films will be available to rent. The movies will come from the 2009 and 2010 Sundance Film Festival and will only be available in the US. The move for the Google owned company represents a major development for the site which has been looking for ways to boost its bottom line. "This is a huge move for YouTube in the sense of them trying to monetise the site," Mike McGuire, principal analyst at Gartner Research told BBC News. "This certainly opens the door for them with bigger movie studios." Content providers will be able to set their own prices, with YouTube taking a cut of the revenue. All but one of the Sundance films is being offered for $3.99 (£2.50) each for users to watch over a 48-hour viewing period. The site which is best known for its user-generated content, including dogs on skateboards and performing cats, said 20 hours of video is uploaded every minute. Last August, Comscore reported that over 10 billion videos were streamed on YouTube. Hollywood signs Industry insiders say this first step into online rental is a curtain-raiser for more ambitious pay-per-view plans. It is expected that in the near future the site will expand its rental catalogue with television shows and feature films from major studios. "Content is king in this kind of business and Sundance is a good first step," said Mr McGuire. "Negotiating with the major studios over distribution rights however is not for the faint hearted. Google has to perfect its delivery model and its billing system." YouTube already offers full-length films from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's archives. It is expected similar deals like this will emerge in the coming weeks and months and extend to newer movies. In its blog, YouTube hinted at that possibility. "In the coming weeks we'll also invite a small group of partners across other industries, in addition to independent film, to participate in this new option." Some industry watchers say YouTube has had a tough time in the past persuading the studios to part with their crown jewels such as newly released movies and Hollywood blockbusters. "YouTube has had little luck over the last several years wooing major studios and networks to stream premium content on the site, which would make it easier to draw advertising," said Ben Fritz of the Los Angeles Times. "Most studios have instead opted to put their content on Hulu, a joint venture of NBC Universal, News Corp and Walt Disney that has had more success luring marketers." Analysts point out that the pay-per-view movie offering will put YouTube in direct competition with other services including Apple's iTunes store, Amazon.com and Microsoft's XBox Live. The first five films for rent are "The Cove," "Bass Ackwards," "One Too Many Mornings," "Homewrecker" and "Children of Invention." The Sundance film festival runs until 31 January.(my view) What the fuck,greedy bastards......their making plenty of money already off of ads on the site..per month not to mention forcing ads on peoples videos.......so that amps the money making 5 fold,they do the same to me,even though my videos are MY OWN and have royalty free music on them...but still they force ads on me,the next step will be forcing ads on EVERY video people upload........soon that happens...i will leave that shit hole!

Britain under the hammer

Cadbury's isn't the first British institution to be sold to overseas bidders.Here are some of the biggest UK firms now in foreign hands. Cadbury may be the latest but it certainly won't be the last British firm to fall into foreign hands. Many household names have fallen prey to bid attention from their competitors or other interested parties over the years and all had different ways of playing the cat and mouse game that is the acquisition process. While some played hard to get, others simply fell into the arms of their suitors

Cadbury

Iconic British confectioner Cadbury is to be swallowed up by US processed food giant Kraft in a sweetened deal worth £11.5 billion. After five months of heated negotiations, the 186-year old maker of Dairy Milk finally caved in and the Cadbury board is now recommending shareholders back the deal.

Terry’s

Long before Cadbury became a bid target, Kraft added British confectioner Terry's to its stable of brand names in 1993. United Biscuit Holdings sold off the UK's fourth largest chocolate company at the time in a $321 million deal. However, Kraft went on to shut down Terry's chocolate factory in York in 2005 and moved the production of the famous chocolate orange to cheaper plants in Poland and Slovakia, leading to fears it could do the same to Cadbury sites in Bristol and Bournville. If all goes according to plan, the combined group will be one of the biggest food and confectionary businesses in the world, although shareholders may yet take some convincing.

Rowntree

Another confectioner, Rowntree, was the original maker of chocoholics' favourites Kit Kat and Aero. In 1988, the 126-year old York-based group became the subject of a bitter and controversial takeover battle between two Swiss giants, Nestle and Jacobs Suchard. Nestle emerged victorious with a £2.55 billion bid. After the takeover, the Rowntree name was eventually dropped from the packaging, apart from on its range of fruit pastilles and fruit gums.

Boots

High street stalwart Boots became the first FTSE 100 company to be bought by a private equity firm in June 2007. KKR and Boots' deputy chairman Stefano Pessina shelled out £11.1 billion for the group following a bidding war with an investment consortium led by Guy Hands and Terra Firma. Despite fears the group would be stripped of its assets to pay down the debt amassed by its buyers, Alliance Boots has been performing well. In 2009 it saw a 15% rise in full-year sales to £20.5 billion with trading profit up by almost 12% to £953 million. However, the company still had net debt of £9 billion at the end of March.

Asda

Asda became part of the Wal-Mart empire in July 1999 and is currently the US behemoth's fourth-largest overseas chain with 368 outlets across the UK. Wal-Mart launched a last-minute swoop on the supermarket chain, which was in very advanced talks with retailer Kingfisher, and emerged victorious with its £6.7 billion offer. Asda, which prides itself on its good value grocery, is now second only to Tesco in terms of supermarket size in the UK with the latest figures from TNS Worldpanel showing it has a 16.9% market share.

Abbey,Bradford & Bingley,Alliance & Leicester

Three of the most familiar names in high street banking will soon be a distant memory after Spanish banking titan Santander completes its rebrand later this year. Abbey joined the Santander family in 2004 in a deal worth more than £8 billion followed by Alliance & Leicester in June 2008 for £1.26 billion. Santander then snapped up the retail deposits and branch network of Bradford & Bingley in September 2008 for £612 million with the remainder of the struggling lender being taken under the government's wing.

O2

Mobile telecoms firm O2 enjoyed a very short life as an independent company with just over four years between its emergence from BT's mobile communications businesses and its £17.7 billion takeover by Spanish group Telefonica. Telefonica said at the time that O2 would retain its existing brand and would remain in the UK. O2 is now one of the UK's biggest mobile phone network providers with more than 18 million customers in the country boosted by an exclusive deal with iPhone in 2008.

Powergen

Former FTSE 100 electricity group Powergen moved from British to German ownership in 2002 after a year long wait to get the go-ahead from regulators. The £9.6 billion deal was held up by US officials pouring over the paperwork involving Powergen's Kentucky utility LG&E. In December 2007 the Powergen name became defunct with all communications going under the E.ON banner.

Scottish Power

E.ON had less success with electricity provider Scottish Power which flatly turned down its £10.7 billion approach in November 2005. However, Scottish Power wasn't destined to stay independent for long. When Spanish energy firm Iberdrola came sniffing round, it jumped at the £11.6 billion takeover bid and created Europe's third-largest utility company in November 2006.

British Energy

The UK's nuclear energy strategy was kick started in action with the £12.5 billion takeover of British Energy by French giant EDF in September 2008. This gave EDF control of all British Energy's nuclear power stations with plans to build four more new nuclear reactors in the UK. These could generate electricity to meet more than 13% of the UK's projected energy demand by the early 2020s. The UK government, which held a 36% stake in British Energy through its Nuclear Liabilities Fund, enjoyed a £4.4 billion windfall from the deal.

Pilkington Glass

UK glass manufacturer Pilkington moved from British to Japanese hands after three months of talks in February 2006. Japan's Nippon Glass finally paid £1.8 billion for the 80% of the 180-year-old glassmaker it did not already own after the UK group rejected its two initial bids.(my view)-These "English People" who has sold us down the river,they are scum and NOT english and never were in my eyes.....england is NOT england anymore,and i for one do not want to live in a country that i grew up in anymore...this country isn't my home,i'm sick and tired now,england is becoming to ETHNIC,to GHETTO,to BRONXY,to VIOLENT....all because the government let this fuckers in-in the name of progress...where's the progress?....their stealing OUR jobs,raping and father/mothering OUR men/women,stealing,B'and'E-ing,killing us...need i go on?

Muslim police condemn terror policy

Muslim police officers have condemned the Government's anti-terrorism strategy as an "affront to British values" which has led to an upsurge in Islamophobia. The National Association of Muslim Police said the Prevent strategy - designed to stop the spread of violent extremism - was "stigmatising" Muslims by focusing on "so-called Islamic extremism", The Daily Telegraph said. In a submission to the Commons Communities and Local Government Committee - posted on the committee's website - it said that the focus on Muslim communities ignored the extremist threat from far-right groups. "It can be argued that there is a connection in the rise of Islamophobia and our Prevent programme as it feeds on the stereotypes that the media and some right wing parties promote, i.e. all Muslims are evil and non trustworthy," it said. "Our British system is a model for the world to follow, yet we have embarked on a journey that has put this very core of British values under real threat. "The hatred towards Muslims has grown to a level that defies all logic and is an affront to British values. "The climate is such that Muslims are subject to daily abuse in a manner that would be ridiculed by Britain, were this to occur anywhere else. "We must not diminish our British values further by continuing to allow such behaviour and policies to continue unchecked." The association, which has more than 2,000 members, said there was a "sense of frustration" among Muslims that their concerns were not being heard and warned that "some serious damage" may have already occurred.(my view)-We do NOT have"Islamophobia"it is a fact that your people are fucking assholes who do not care who you kill or mock,97%of you are TERRORISTS...you only have to look on the news,read a paper to see the attacks and violence you do onto others........fuck!you people have a nerve...do we come over to your country and blow people and other shit up?.......NO its allllllll you you sheet covered pricks,a handful of you are and act normal but the rest of you are INSANE! you are changing Britain..my home into a shit hole and a war zone,we don't want mosques(or how ever you spell it)you offend peoples way of life here and you argue ect that(even though there is NO god anywhere)if nut jobs in the uk want to believe in their GOD...you have no right to say otherwise....you do not belong in the UK!you offend ect their GOD(not me but others in the uk) so we offend yours and you go ape and start bombing and killing in the name of your fat obese shit you call mo-ding dong or what ever.my people can't even defend themselves against you!the law takes pity on you.......our government have sailed us all down the river over you turds,you make me sick....the whole lot of you(the ones who are insane and want this to be their country)

Hollywood's big sequels

Ghostbusters 3, Avatar 2, Spider-Man 4... These are just a few of the major movies coming back for another scoop of box office mullah over the next few years. HIM has very specific requests for each one of them. Some of them are streaking onto a cinema screen near you in a matter of months. Some of them are still a twinkle in Tinseltown's eye. All of them are blockbusters that they want to make and you want to see. Sequels, though, are notoriously tricky muthas - for every The Dark Knight, there's a pointy-nippled Batman & Robin. So, to help Hollywood avoid turning its favourite franchises into sloppy seconds (or thirds or fourths), MSN Movies has some very specific requests for every single one of them...

Spider-Man 4

Frankly, we don't mind what they do with the Spidey sequel so long as it doesn't feature another head-slapping musical dance sequence. Thomas Haden Church back as Sandman? Sam Raimi wasn't keen but (500) Days Of Summer director Marc Webb might be the answer to the franchise's problems.

Ghostbusters 3

Who you gonna call? Sigourney Weaver, hopefully. But a crusties-in-love romance between her and Bill Murray might be a bit much. Slimer, obviously, is a must. Scripters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky need to use the jokes they write for The Office US not stinky caveman 'comedy' Year One.

Avatar 2

We don't really mind the fact that Jim Cameron remade Dances With Wolves. Let's not make the sequel a remake of Waterworld, though, eh? Jim says it might take place on one of Pandora's moons. Just no more tree-hugging eco-blather, thankyouverymuch.(my view)-Whats wrong with cleaning up and trying to make this world a better place to live you shitbags?.

District 10

No image District 9 was neck-and-neck with Avatar as the best sci-fi film of 2009. The difference? It cost just $30 million (roughly Avatar's lunch budget). With $300 million, director Neil Blomkamp could probably make the greatest alien invasion film of all time. Imagine it: an army of "forkin' prawns" storming Earth to rescue their people and save dweeb-turned-mutant Sharlto Copley. Bring it.

Transformers 3

Bafflingly, director Michael 'I love blowing things up' Bay claims his second robo-sequel "won't be as robot-heavy" and will have "less explosions". Will he use the extra room for "a script" and "robots that don't dry-hump Megan Fox"? If only.

Star Trek 2

Word on the streets is that JJ Abrams' Trek sequel is all about snake-blooded reptilian villains The Gorn. It needs a hardcore baddie, that's for sure, with Eric Bana's underwritten Romulan the weak link in the first film. And surely it's time for Kirk to undertake a seduce-and-destroy mission on Uhuru...

Paranormal Activity 2

Saw VI director Kevin Greutert has one simple task: make it better than Saw VI and The Blair Witch Project 2. Shouldn't be hard. Maybe a teensy-weensy bit more action, too. There's only so long you can sit watching an empty room before you start slipping into a coma.

Sherlock Holmes 2

After that tantalising end to Guy Richie's blockbuster romp, Brad Pitt is now in the frame to play Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty. Downey Jr versus Pitt? Yes. Puh-lease. Oh, one more thing. This time, how about a story that actually makes sense? Just a little bit of sense, that's all we ask.(my view)-American's CAN NOT put on a british accents to save their lives let alone play an english role......enough said...move on.

Jurassic Park 4

Forget Tintin. Spielberg and Peter Jackson should team up to make the best Jurassic Park since, well, Jurassic Park. Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and everyone else return. So do the pterodactyls from JP3. Andy Serkis can play probably play a T-rex.

I Am Legend 2

After Will Smith blew himself to high heaven in the first film, Alice Braga and little Ethan should join the survivors colony and blast it out with mutants. That's 28 Days Later meets Aliens, we're saying. Get James Cameron to direct it and we're sold.

National Treasure 3

Nicolas Cage is shockingly killed in the opening scene and replaced by daring archaeologist turned adventurer Hugh Jackman. The title changes to Indiana Jones And The National Treasure. Spielberg directs. George Lucas goes nowhere near it. There are no aliens. Hey, if you're going to rip off a franchise, do it properly. Theres others coming but they do not interest me like"Wallstreet 2,The untouchables 2,ect and frankly a few gay movies(men and woman)those make me sick,so i didn't post those un-natural one either
