LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- MTV has been slapped with a $10 million lawsuit from a couple who say they were surprised by a fake corpse in their hotel room as part of a hidden-camera prank for a reality TV show.
James and Laurie Ann Ryan, of Washington, D.C., also named the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in the suit, which accuses the resort and the cable network of invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress and fraud, among other things, their attorney said on Wednesday.
The suit, originally filed in Los Angeles in April but gaining public attention this week after it was moved to federal court, said the couple became unwitting participants in a practical joke filmed for a series under development at MTV called "Harassment" while they were on vacation in January.
Upon entering the hotel room, the Ryans "discovered what appeared to be a dead human body covered and surrounded by blood, evidently the victim of a homicide," as hidden cameras recorded their shock, the suit says.
As the couple tried to flee, two actors posing as security guards blocked their way, and a third individual in the guise of a paramedic entered the room.
The show's host and co-producer, Ashton Kutcher, who has described the series in interviews as a "guerrilla-style Candid Camera," finally emerged to reveal the prank.
The Ryans were not amused. They are seeking $10 million in compensatory damages against MTV, the Hard Rock Hotel and Kutcher, who also is named in the suit, said their lawyer, Daniel Rozansky.
Both the cable network, which is owned by Viacom Inc., and the privately owned hotel declined to comment on the case.
An MTV spokeswoman said the incident in question was filmed as part of a pilot episode for "Harassment," which has not aired. She said the future status of the program is uncertain.
"Harassment" is not the first reality show to land MTV in legal trouble. Two teenage girls sued the network in April, 2001 after they were sprayed with human excrement by performers billed as the "Shower Rangers" during the taping of a program called "Dude, This Sucks."
MTV apologi zed for the incident and promised never to air footage of the incident. That suit remains in litigation, the girls' high-profile Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred told Reuters.
記事によると、韓国のLee Young-Pyo選手の気軽な発言が、雪だるま式に膨れ、ポルトガルの 選手Luis Figoやポルトガルナショナルチームをよもや傷つける結果になったかもしれない。 ことはこうだ。 韓 VS 葡の試合中にLee Young-PyoはFigoに「もっと気楽にやろう」 と言われたと、一部マスコミにコメントしてしまった。
Leeによると、セカンドハーフ、FigoがLeeに向かって、"take it easy"と言うようなジェスチャー をしたという。 しかしそれは、決勝ラウンド進出をかけて、それまでの前半戦Figoを徹底的に マークしていた韓国に対し、Figoが「そんなに強く当たらないでくれよ、、」ということを、 気やすくジェスチャーで示しただけだった。
しかし、ある新聞社が引用したときには、FigoがLeeに「引き分けでいいんだから、もうちょっと 気軽にやろう」のニュアンスで手抜きを促したというような記事になっていた。 発言した当人のLee Young-Pyoもこんな大騒ぎになるとは思わなかった。 "I am afraid I might have unintentionally added insult to injury to Portugal and Figo." と反省している。

The couple were accompanied from their detached house in the school grounds by four detectives and were questioned for more than six hours at separate police stations in Cambridgeshire. They have not been charged with any offence and police said they were making witness statements.
Mr Huntley, a site manager at the college for the past nine months, and Ms Carr, a former teaching assistant in the girls' class, had initially gone to the police voluntarily to give witnes statements. They left after seven hours of questioning but were arrested a few hours later.
A police spokesman said the couple had been taken in for questioning as a result of “police intelligence and information from the community”. A police spokeswoman said they had gone voluntarily and had agreed to officers searching their property. Shortly after 10pm, detectives said that the couple had completed their witness statements and had left police stations in Peterborough and Ely. They are understood to have been taken to spend the night together at an undisclosed address and are expected to face further questioning in the coming days.
On Friday detectives spent almost seven hours questioning Mr Huntley and Ms Carr at separate police stations. Mr Huntley, a site manager at Soham Village College for the past nine months, and Ms Carr, a former teaching assistant in the girls' class, gave voluntary witness statements.

A marriage forecast based on 1990's Census data suggests that, while more-educated women were less likely to marry a half-century ago, modern-day college grads are more likely to marry than their less-educated peers.
The report, noted in a recent American Sociological Association journal, says that about 90% of all women born in 1950 eventually married, regardless of their education. But for women born in 1960, a split has emerged where about 94% of female college graduates marry, compared with 89% of those women with less education.
Researchers have shown numerous benefits to society from marriage, ranging from better health to reduced welfare costs.
Marriage is becoming a luxury good," says sociologist Frank Furstenberg of the University of Pennsylvania. Rising expectations of partners and living standards over the past 50 years have shifted a heavier burden onto the institution of marriage, he says.
His research suggests that marriage partners with more education are better able to pay for services, such as child care, that ease some of the strain on marriage.

BERLIN, Germany -- An Iraqi opposition group says it has occupied the Iraqi embassy in Berlin.
Police have confirmed an incident at the building and CNN's Gaven Morris says there are unconfirmed reports of hostages having been taken.
A group calling itself the Democratic Iraqi Opposition of Germany issued a statement in German saying it was launching a "peaceful and temporary" action to press its demands for an end to the rule of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The statement read: "In the name of the Iraqi people and their legitimate leadership, the Iraqi opposition, we declare that the liberation of Iraqi soil begins today. We are taking over the Iraqi embassy in Berlin and with this the first step in the liberation of our beloved fatherland."
Police went to the scene following an emergency call from local residents. No more details were immediately available.
Phones at the embassy, in the western suburb of Zehlendorf, went unanswered. The German Foreign Ministry said it had no immediate information.

There was no official announcement of the blockage, but Internet users said they could not reach Google through Chinese Internet servers for the last two days.

‘Adopt a Local’ is Pubs2000 2003 marketing campaign. Below is Gloucestershire Tourism’s Press Release giving more details:
Probably the best adoption scheme in the world, bar none
Every holiday maker, or overseas visitors, has seen them. The "local" standing at the bar of a pub, pint pot, or whisky shot, in hand. Always ready to pass the time of day with anyone who steps across the threshold.
Now, Jon Ellard, who runs a website (www.pubs2000.com) , promoting some of the wonderful public houses and inns throughout Gloucestershire, is planning to launch an 'Adopt A Local' scheme in January which, he explains, will work along very similar lines to the 'adopt an animal' schemes which are operated world-wide by zoos and wildlife parks.
続きです The individuals on offer are those noble men (and women) who visit their local pubs and inns every day of the year. And from just £20 a year anyone, from anywhere in the world, can now sponsor their chosen local, who sits at the end of the bar all day, every day "in the interests of keeping the pubs in business".
For your annual donation, you will receive a newsletter, a photo, regular information about from the local who you have sponsored�.and even a signed beer mat.

Australia's first listed bordello plans sex Disneyland
SYDNEY (AFP) - The Daily Planet Ltd, about to become the first brothel to list on the Australian Stock Exchange, plans to follow up its May Day launching by opening a "sex Disneyland" here, the Melbourne-based bordello announced Wednesday.
Chief executive Andrew Harris said the company was likely to abandon plans to acquire a hotel in Sydney's Kings Cross red light district and acquire another property three times the size in a better location.
The Daily Planet raised 3.5 million dollars (2.2 million US) in its initial public offering with one of the new 600 shareholders acquiring 1.0 million dollars worth of shares.
Renowned Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss has been flown to Melbourne as guest of honour at Thursday's market debut and, according to Harris, has already played a key role in attracting worldwide media attention to the event.
"Heidi's ideas, her background, her knowledge have helped us a great deal," he said. "The international novelty value with Heidi promoting it has been massive -- these shares can go anywhere."
But it hasn't been an easy road to the Australian Stock Exchange since the idea was first mooted in 1994.
"The establishment did not want a brothel on the stock exchange," Harris said.
"It's only because we were the biggest and the best that we could afford to do it.
"We have fought every institution, every law firm ... it's cost us a fortune but now we're going on a massive expansion."
Harris said Sydney was a more attractive option for the sex Disneyland because its prostitution laws are less restrictive than Melbourne's.
"Prostitution is completely decriminalised in Sydney and we are going to build a monster," he said.
"We want a complete one-stop adult venue -- we want a complete adult venue with adult cinemas, adult shops... we have found much bigger premises in a much better location to create a sex Disneyland."
The company is also considering franchising The Daily Planet within Australia with likely venues in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney's western suburbs and a second venue in Melbourne.
But The Daily Planet is saving its big plans for the United States where it is negotiating with two well-known US personalities to join the board.

What price the perfect woman? On eBay, the online auction site, she will probably set you back about £30 - about the same as a designer handbag or a year's supply of McDonalds Happy Meal toys.

The group, calling itself the Mujahideen Brigades, said it would kill the hostages unless Tokyo withdrew its troops from the country. The TV said the hostages include a journalist and an aid worker. Eight South Korean church ministers are also reported to have been detained by an unnamed Iraqi group. South Korea's Yonhap news agency said one had since been released.

Frequent ejaculation during masturbation or sex, a new study has found, isn't associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, laying to rest a popular misconception. In fact, it may even decrease the risks for certain people.

Detroit Fights California Bid to Open Car Pool Lanes to Fuel-Conscious Import SACRAMENTO, Aug. 27 - Larry David tools around in one on his HBO series. Cameron Diaz drives one in Los Angeles. So do Leonardo DiCaprio and Rob Reiner. Here in the state capital, top elected officials, including the state treasurer and the leader of the Senate, consider one a must-have environmental credential. Aides to the governor say he will sign legislation approved on Thursday that could allow up to 75,000 hybrid drivers, mainly those behind the wheel of a gas-sipping Prius, to use car pool lanes even when taking to the road alone.
Mr. Schwarzenegger might as well promote a "Buy Japanese" campaign, William C. Ford, Jr., chairman of the Ford Motor Company, said in a letter to the governor. An official with the United Auto Workers National Ford Department also wrote to Mr. Schwarzenegger, urging him to veto the legislation because no American-built vehicle would qualify. The combined offensive nearly killed the bill in the Legislature; it passed the 80-member State Assembly with the minimum 41 votes.
As things stand now, only the Prius, which is so popular that dealerships report months-long waiting lists, and the far-less prevalent Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid would qualify. The Ford Hybrid Escape, an S.U.V. coming on the market this fall, is expected to average 31 miles per gallon on highways. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/28/national/28hybrid.html?8dt
http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/state/10179568.htm?1c Kum was born in Daegu, Korea, the youngest of seven brothers and sisters. Kum saw relatives beaten by their husbands. She saw uneducated women. She wanted no part of that. "Women were second-class citizens," she said, recalling a time 30 years ago. "I didn't know why I had to wash my brother's socks. I had my own socks to wash. I didn't want to be mistreated. I had to get out of that country." She escaped the first chance she got, marrying an American in 1970 and moving to Wisconsin. They soon divorced, and in 1978, Kum found her way to the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, the city where she has lived ever since.
Kyenan Kum has spent the past 15 years working to keep dogs in her native South Korea from being tortured and turned into soup. Kum's efforts could help save an estimated 2 million dogs and cats each year that are maimed, beaten, whipped, electrocuted, torched, caged and cramped all the result of mythical beliefs that torturing animals produces enzymes that provide health benefits. there is still an underground industry of animal vendors who boil cats to make anti-arthritis potions, she said. And the estimated 5,000 dog soup restaurants in Korea are proof to Kum that the government doesn't take animal abuse seriously.
Korean Pilots Face Crisis over ICAO English Evaluations Many pilots from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are on the verge of being cut out from international routes starting 2008. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, has decided to evaluate the English conversation ability of airline pilots and air traffic controllers from non-English speaking nations in order to reduce the number of accidents, and those who fail to pass those evaluations would be taken off international lines.
Korean pilots and air traffic controllers cannot shake the stigma of having the worst English conversation skills on the international lines. There is talk that the ICAO's primary target was Northeast Asia, and Korea in particular. This is because of Korea's record of accidents resulting from the poor English skills of its pilots.
During the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a Korean Air passenger liner was nearly shot down by U.S. fighter jets that had made a sortie after mistaking the craft for a hijacked jet. It was learned that the pilot's poor English skills played a large part in this incident. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410150024.html
