Gawd. It's fine to do weird stuff if it makes you happy, but don't waste other peoples' time with it.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 993

In what way is this news, even by the Sun's standards? Did she call them with the 'story'? Otherwise it feels really irresponsible and cruel of the Sun; using the words 'maternal' and 'caring' doesn't cover up the fact you're asking people to point and judge at someone who seems a bit Dagenham. She's got kids at young as 12, is this really okay to print? With a comments section? This sneaky snideness towards real people to get clicks and sponsorship money is a really disgusting aspect of some sections of our press.
They probably gave her enough money to buy a shit load more dolls.
Hope she doesn't start worrying about cot death...

My friend makes reborns to sell. I'm not that keen on them...wouldn't want one myself. I also have a condition that makes carrying children potentially fatal (for them), but I still wouldn't fill my house up with these.
I wonder what this condition of hers is.
The thing is...they say she's attached to them etc., but then, she says she goes to doll fairs and swaps them when she's had them for a while. Not really a bond there then, is there?
Ahh...I see someone already commented about the doll fairs below the article. True though. To give up humans, rather than these dolls, but then to swap them anyway. I think she needs to be needed, but every now and again realizes these dolls can't help her with that. It was probably meant as a quick fix in the beginning, but didn't work, so she just keeps going. I feel quite sorry for her to be honest.

Muppet. Only 80 quid?! Wait, so his step-father was filming it on his phone?
Another nutter goes mental with a gun in America:
Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in two attacks in Norway last year, is found to be sane and is sentenced to 21 years in jail by a court.
Doesn't sound like a lot for killing 77 people.
I read somewhere today, if at the end of that 21 years he is still considered a danger to society they can keep him in indefinitely.
No idea if that's true, but hope so!

That will be the maximum sentance allowed, then when he reaches the end, they'll have the option of extending it, like here. He won't get out.

I do like the way she glammed up for the pictures. 'Oh is a photographer from The Sun coming round? I must put on my best tracksuit bottoms, show off my favourite tattoo / facial piercing and pull my greasy lank hair into a bun.'
If only everyone went to those efforts, then us Brits wouldn't have a bad name.

It's a funny old world where it's decided such behaviour is that of a sane man.

See, even American nutters get more dressed up to go on a shooting spree.

If they declared him insane, then he would have got a much more lenient sentence and been admitted to a hospital instead of a prison.
