This programme also offers a brief look into other kinds of swinging through an organisation that has a database of members that are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Under this system, people rated highly are invited to exclusive parties intended to keep out unattractive, socially awkward, or otherwise undesirable people.
2.3 "Black Nationalism" 2 June American black nationalist groups have been branded anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist and racist by the mainstream press. Louis Theroux goes to Harlem in New York to meet its proponents, and meets the Reverend Al Sharpton, the main point of contact in the black nationalist movement. Theroux also meets Khalid Abdul Muhammad, dubbed by the media 'the most dangerous man in America' and visits the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, who believe that blacks are the true Israelites and that all English monarchs until early modern times were black.

2.6 "Wrestling" 6 July Louis takes a look at different types of wrestling from the high profile WCW to people organizing events in their spare time. He also visits the WCW Power Plant, a training facility where some of the WCW wrestlers started out.

That is what it will look like when they legislate ObamaFare. All minorities and those on welfare receive free Metro.

Its a good thing it runs all the way to the airport, Here come a load for free FFX handouts

Fromt the Washington Post:

In at least one instance during the last testing, they said, a train encountered a red signal, indicating that it should stop, yet still received speed commands directing it to move forward. Shaniqua Ahumbibi, spokeswoman for the rail project, said, "We have no idea when we will be ready to take passengers. We need to fix this thing first."

+1

The racism on this thread is delightfully refreshing.

Shaniqua Ahumbibi? Is this a white woman?

Sure, let's go with that. Name sounds like it might be Swedish or Danish, not sure.

I'll go with "fake name made up by fairfax underground poster"

Shaniqua, Shaniqua! Didn't you learn anything in the Third World? These are how efficient trains operate.

With so many people on the windshield, the conductor can't see the signal anyway.

No way. Everything posted on FU has to be true. Otherwise they wouldn't allow it.
