  • Two million British citizens have left the UK in a decade, the greatest exodus from this country in almost a century, new figures will show [via Telegraph]

 

 

  • Big Brother database for phones and e-mails - A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the Internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials. [via The Times]

Ed. If they take this much further we'll be more like a Burmese police state than a free democracy. Filtering out keywords like bomb in mails and phone calls and monitoring the mails and phone calls of suspects is one thing, (well two I suppose!). A database of all calls and mails is whole different ball game. Besides, by effectively blocking channels of communication for the bad guys don't you just slow them down, you don't stop them completely. Are these extreme steps really necessary to fight terrorism or is terrorism just a convenient excuse?

  • Mens Magazines Run Provocative Liquor Ad Featuring Naked Model

Liquor companies often employ sexual images to sell their products, but liquor brand Cabana Cachaça isn't leaving anything to the imagination in a new multimillion-dollar ad campaign that features naked women wearing nothing but tan lines. For Cabana Cachaça's consumer advertising debut in the U.S., ad agency Avrett Free Ginsberg gave Mario Sorrenti the tough assignment of selecting Brazilian models to photograph. The only question is -- will anyone even notice that bottle of Cachaça in the ad?

The ads will appear in the June issues of GQ, Esquire, Men's Vogue, Details and, of course, Playboy. [via HuffPo]
