A series of hard-hitting government adverts featuring people smoking cigarettes with a tumour growing from the end (example pictured) is being launched in England. The ads will tell smokers that just 15 cigarettes can cause a mutation that leads to cancerous tumours in what marks a return to shock campaigning. I'm sure the ads will greatly reduce the number of Britons who engage in this filthy habit. But now for another cancer I'm glad I don't have: Veronica Lario. She's former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's ex-wife, and reports say he has agreed to pay her 36 million euros a year as part of a divorce deal reportedly filed on Christmas Day. But unfortunately for poor Silvio, the only way out of this curse is if one of the two parties dies. To sum it up, the rich shouldn't marry just in case things turn to custard. And speaking of custard, Topeka-area eatery Freddy's Frozen Custard held a fundraiser yesterday (Central Standard Time) to show support for Corporal David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly, two Topeka police officers who were fatally shot on the 16th. "We've done a fundraiser before, nothing as significant as this. So, I felt like if we will do them for softball teams, we should definitely do it for the officers and their families," said General Manager of Freddy's Frozen Custard, Jason Nolte. Ten percent of yesterday's sales will be donated to the officers' Memorial Funds. The turn out was tremendous. Even people who didn't personally know the officers say they can relate to the situation.
