tl,dr: he published the number of one telemarketing company and they had to shut it down from all the calls they recieved from the public.

Then apparently posted a second number in the follow up column.

Or pass out or die. And it could be really minor things, too. Like, you think someone's gone home but they missed their train and so when you see them you just fall down unconscious, because how could they be here now?

“Violence was proffered and a weapon was involved and the butter aspect did not help in any respect.”

When police arrived at Rooney’s address, they found the man barricaded inside his house, stripped down, greased up and waving a 14-inch knife in the air while screaming, “Come at me ye bastards,” according to reports.

Take the plunge! Okay!

You should watch the movie Bronson, starring Tom Harder. It's a really drat good movie, about a real life prolific criminal.

Butter may be involved

That looks like the Zulu Reed Festival. It used to be how the King chose his new wives - the girls would parade past him naked and he'd choose the most beautiful. These days it's changed a lot, more of a celebration of beauty. Up in rural KZN there's a lot of AIDS - the HIV rate is about 40%, in a very poor region. There's messed up sugar daddy stuff too. So you can see why the government is encouraging kids to stay virgins.

It's still a funny headline though!

And when the king does choose a wife (or two or three) she gets whisked away for her HIV test.
