Frank and Anita, (Still) Sitting in a Tree

5/28/09 - Posted by Christopher Reinhard under OneRiot News

Based on the amount of sleep we typically get, it’s unlikely that anyone at the OneRiot offices will live to see age 81 - so it’s all the more incredible that a London couple celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary this week.

Frank and Anita Milford met at a YMCA singles mixer and tied the knot on May 28, 1928; and although they attest to a (unthinkably) long and happy marriage, the key to their nuptial success is attributed to moderate fighting. Not to go out on a limb—or gross anybody out—but we think all that means is that while the Milfords are six years behind the world record for longest marriage,* they’re probably frontrunners for the record of best makeup sex in history.

*The record for longest marriage is 87 years, held by Sir Temulji Bhicaji Nariman and Lady Nariman of India. They were married from 1853 to 1940.

The UK Loves to Hate

5/05/09 - Posted by Abdullah Saeed under International Affairs

In order to make it known exactly what sorts of people the British just wont be able to mingle well with, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has released a list of 16 people who are banned from entering the UK. Among the joyful bunch are Muslim terrorists, Jewish terrorists, Nazis, KKK leaders, assorted racists, and, the most hated of all, crossing guards. One of the only Americans on the list is a gem by the name of Michael Savage, a man who loves to hate and hates to be a reasonable human being. Another is pastor Fred Phelps, a harbinger of doom in a bolo tie.

Reasons given for the ban vary from person to person. Some folks have a history of violence that can’t be redeemed. Others have never physically hurt a soul, but have the potential to poison the minds of the impressionable. The binding quality of the group appears simply to be that they are all dicks, and the English have their hands full handling the dicks they already have. While every country bans a few people from entering, making the list public conveys a standard that will be a warning to everyone. If there’s one thing the UK won’t tolerate, it’s the intolerant.

    It’s kind of unfair: pro basketball players are typically ginormous, but they’re always hanging out with diminutive cheerleaders, models and actresses. While we fully support the concept of giving the spoils to the victors (did you see our sweet news coverage, by the way?), it’s nice to know that at least one monolithic baller is [...]
