What possible reason could they have for actually printing that? An embarrassing incident ends up in accidental fatality and it gets paraded on a local newspaper. It's not like it was a criminal act that is deserving of media courage - just an unfortunate accident. What happened to respecting the dead? I can't imagine how the family feel having to see that in the paper. Horrible.

It's tragic and really sad. As for her family being embarrassed, I think the fact she was watching porn and masturbating is the last thing on their mind. Poor girl.

Eluveitie means "The Helvetian" in Gaulish and it is believed to be pronounced "El-Vey-Ti" as Chrigel himself explains in an interview.

Though the word I find interesting is believed, which leads me to think no one really knows how its pronounced.

Was looking at the legal status of Salvia on Wikipedia and I came across this rather brilliant pun made by an MP on the subject:

"Sadly the issue has come to light again as our young people are using the internet and sites like YouTube to broadcast their friends taking the drug and witnessing the hallucinogenic effects. Our young people are at risk and a wider cultural attachment to this drug seems to be developing that I am sure you agree - regardless of its legal status - needs nipping in the bud."

Went to get a towel earlier. Who decided the best place to keep the loo roll is the airing cupboard?
