Top 5-Woman jailed 11 years for Twitter rants
KUWAIT - A Kuwaiti court sentenced a woman teacher to a total of 11 years in jail on Monday for insulting the emir, inciting regime change and insulting a religious sect via
Twitter, two sources close to the case said. Huda al-Ajmi, 37, is the first woman known to have been convicted for criticizing the U.S.-allied Gulf Arab state’s ruler, described as “immune and inviolable” in the constitution. Kuwait has penalized several Twitter users in recent months for slurs against the emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah. The political trials have drawn rebuke abroad and anger at home.
The sources said the court had given Ajmi two consecutive five-year terms for insulting the emir and one year for insulting an unspecified religious sect. “This is the highest sentence of its kind in these kinds of cases,” one source said. Ajmi has not yet been taken into custody and can appeal the sentences, the sources said. It is rare for a woman to serve jail time for political crimes in Kuwait, which allows more freedom of speech than some other Gulf Arab states.

Top 2-Toilet humour to protest Cyprus bailout
NICOSIA - A Cypriot artist found a novel way to protest over Cyprus’s financial meltdown on Monday, lining up 20 sculptures resembling a cross between toilets and tombstones outside the island’s Central Bank. Arranged in two rows on a pavement outside the building, the white “toilets” made of concrete and plaster caused traffic to slow down along a busy Nicosia avenue, with many drivers honking their horns in approval. From the rear, the “toilets” looked like headstones. “I felt the need to protest the situation my country is in ... and I think the choice of toilets has a pretty clear symbolism to everyone,” artist Andreas Efstathiou told Reuters.
Top 1-Why Ex-student shoots porn at school as 'payback'
A former Catholic school student in Nebraska took "revenge" on former classmates who gave her flak for entering the adult entertainment business in X-rated style. And now she's in trouble with the law. Nineteen-year-old Valerie Dodds snuck into St. Pius X's campus in Lincoln late one night last month and filmed herself posing naked all over the school as well as masturbating on the football field. Dodds, whose online name is Val Midwest, then posted the naughty pics on her site and boasted about her exploits. "Now when you say all those nasty things about me you have a good reason," she says on her site. Last week, Dodds returned to her alma mater in broad daylight sporting pasties over her nipples and skimpy panties but wasn't busted for public nudity.
According to news station KETV, she received a ticket citing her for trespassing and public nudity for her stunt in May. “Why would you give me a ticket for public nudity if I'm trespassing onto private property?” Dodd asked rhetorically. Judging by her comments on her Facebook page, Dodds seems to be enjoying her infamy. "So you definitely heard right I did get arrested for the PiusXXX picture set on my website!!!" Dodds wrote. "I got ticketed for trespassing and public nudity! Pius decided to call the Lincoln Police Department AND
