It takes more to tango

Argentinian lawmakers passed a new measure on Wednesday lowering the nation's voting age to 16. Representatives in the South American country's lower house overwhelmingly voted in favor of the law, and a majority of senators approved it last week. The move to lower the voting age from 18 to 16 comes a year before a key mid-term election in Argentina, and some critics have said it's an attempt by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her party to garner more votes. But supporters of the measure say it will give young people more opportunities to participate in politics, and that could be a good thing. Now for a bad thing: police in northern England were called to investigate this week after children who were out trick-or-treating for Halloween were given small snap-top bags of what turned out to be cocaine. The bags, containing white powder, were given to police after they were handed to the children on Wednesday evening in the small town of Royton, Greater Manchester Police said in a statement. Testing confirmed that they contained cocaine, and a man was arrested. I've heard of dangerous items like razor blades hidden in Halloween candy but this is just wrong, as are rumours that Amanda Bynes wandered around a New York tanning salon completely naked in search of goggles to wear. She has reportedly threatened to sue a tabloid magazine over said story, which cited an unnamed eyewitness who said the former Nickelodeon star seemed "totally out of it" as she reportedly walked around the main lobby before returning to a private spray-tan room. "I'm not 'troubled,'" Bynes told Us Weekly on Thursday as she declared her intent to sue InTouch. "I don't get naked in public. I'm 26, a multi-millionaire, retired. Please respect my privacy." InTouch have already incurred the wrath of Tom Cruise in recent weeks, so to print sleaze about Amanda Bynes would not be a good idea for the time being. And neither is sticking your penis into the blades of a fan, something that Nickelback star Chad Kroeger admits he once paid his drum technician $375 to do. The band frequently got bored on the road and the rocker, who is now engaged to singer Avril Lavigne, admits he previously dared one of his pals to risk major injury just for some extra cash.
