A Swansea man has been charged with possessing "an extreme pornographic image which portrayed ... a person performing an act of intercourse with a dead animal, namely a squid." Prosecutors later admitted it could be an octopus. Reverse eeling? [Sun]

Tonight, Jon Stewart continued his satirical look at the election of Britain's next Prime Minister and commented on the "hung parliament," before bringing in John Oliver to try to explain why things had ended up how they had. Video inside.

What did our cousins in Britain do last night while eating their nightly meal of fish and chips? They watched the final pre-election debate between the leaders of the three major parties, of course! And guess who won?

Tonight on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart gave a hilarious overview of the current ~scandal~ rocking the campaign for Britain's next prime minister—"Bigotgate," as the UK media are calling it—and turned something mundane into something enthralling. Video inside.

It's pretty easy to knock Britain for having a boring political scene, compared to Ukraine at least. The Guardian called on its readers to submit their own political posters and the results are dry, funny, and even gross. Let's look.

Flights are resuming in Britain, despite the possibility of a new ash cloud.

An armada of small ships set off from Dover to rescue Britons stranded in France by the Icelandic volcano. But the French seem to have forgotten the unity of WW2 and have denied the ships entry into its ports. [NYT]

Goldman Sachs is facing an SEC lawsuit that names a prominent London-based banker. The British Prime Minister said today he too wants to examine their "moral bankruptcy." They responded by giving their London staff bonuses equivalent to those of 2007.

Huzzah! America's Deadbeat Older Brother, the United Kingdom, is holding an election for Best Wizard! Or Prime Minister, or something. Who are the "Party Leaders" who might lead the UK? Is one of them Ringo? We know who Ringo is.

This is ironic! American Apparel, the Cain to Dov Charney's Serpent (if we're to believe the Jewish version), just held a "rummage sale"—where items are sold on the street at a discount—in London. It caused a riot, naturally.

Why doves failed to be released into the sky when Peep Show became available on Hulu is beyond us, but it seems that seasons 1-5 of the series that re-entered Britain into the Anglo-American-good-television-arms-race is available for everyone to enjoy!

The recent deaths of two teens have been blamed on the legal drug mephedrone, which is marketed as plant fertilizer, and causes "headaches, palpitations, nausea, high blood pressure, a burning throat, nose bleeds and purple joints, weight loss and insomnia."

The British government may soon outlaw "legal" highs, like chemical-laced synthetic "cannabinoids," which mimic the effects of good old fashioned marijuana. Well, doesn't that in and of itself tell you something? Nature beats man. [BBC]

Callie Rogers was once the world's luckiest teenager. You see, at the tender age of 16, Ms. Rogers won £1.9million lottery. That was, at the time, about $3 million. Now it's all gone. That's good and bad. But mostly bad.

About one-fifth of the UK's honeybees died last year. It's "worrying," say distressed bee keepers.

Britain isn't fooling around when it comes to texting while behind the wheel, and a recent PSA attempts to — and does! — drive that point home.

A British bureaucrat has published a guide to Twitter etiquette and strategy, intended for use throughout the government. The stiff, formal document about a casual microblogging service is generating worldwide headlines, but it's hardly the first of its kind.

In the Loop, Armando Iannucci's new political satire, is getting near across-the-board raves. It's funny and British! What's also funny and British (maybe funnier and Britisher?) is the series on which it's based, The Thick of It. The first episode:

Michelle Obama filmed a Sesame Street appearance yesterday, and, as any good American would be, she was delighted. Apparently it was even more fun than meeting some ancient English broad!

Are you one of those people who eats squirrel not because of poverty or comical sitcom hillbillyism, but for the delicious taste? England has a product for you!
