Anti-rape female condom makes its debut at World Cup
It's a condom with "teeth" that South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers is distributing at the World Cup games. It's called Rape-aXe and it leaves the rapist in pain.
Dr. Ehlers has invented Rape-aXe, a device with jagged hooks that women can wear that latches onto a man's penis during penetration.
"It hurts. He cannot pee and walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter."
The Human Rights Watch reports that South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world. It is also believed that because of this, 16 percent of the population is infected with HIV.
Rape-aXe is inserted into the woman much like a tampon, but when it becomes stuck to a man the device can only be removed by a doctor. It's a procedure Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest. The device works because jagged rows of teeth-like hooks attach onto the man's penis, making him very likely to leave the woman and go off on his own or to the nearest doctor.
At the moment South African women take extreme measures like placing razor blades in their nether regions to prevent being raped.

Angelina Jolie Playing Cleopatra Angers Black Community
It was recently reported that Angelina Jolie has been hired to play Cleopatra in the upcoming biopic. Some in the African-American community found this as an insult, stating that the actress is "too white" to play the famous Egyptian pharaoh.
Essence magazine commentator stated: "Honestly, I don't care how full Angelina Jolie's lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman."
Others are simply tired of seeing white actresses playing Cleopatra, including Claudette Colbert in 1934, Vivien Leigh in 1945 and Elizabeth Taylor in 1963.
I HATE TO BURST EVERYONE'S BUBBLE ... BUT ........ CLEOPATRA WAS GREEK .... NOT AFRICAN
NO ....... DONT LAUGH
Woman attacked by monkeys after trying to conquer fear of monkeys
When a British woman went to a Thai nature resort to overcome her fear of monkeys, she was viciously attacked by a pack of macaques.
The father of Dee Darwell, 56, from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, UK raised a chimpanzee that she said was "positively evil". She has feared monkeys ever since being around her father's chimp.
Mrs. Darwell was on holiday in Thailand with a friend who had talked her into going on a Siam Sea Canoe tour to confront her fear of monkeys. She was then attacked on Monkey Island near the popular vacation destination island of Phuket in southern Thailand.
"I thought I was heading for safety under this rock in the shade, only to cool down. I laid the towel down and there were no monkeys in sight.
""The next thing I noticed, this monkey walked up next to me and I thought, 'oh dear', and I began to stand up to move away.
"Then, the monkey took my wrist and pounced on my right arm, sinking his teeth in and hung off it.
"He wouldn't let go; he was locked on. I was absolutely petrified."
She said: "I thought, this is it, I'm going to die, I'm going to be savaged by these monkeys - then I went into shock."
Thai fishermen finally rescued her, prying the monkeys off of her, and she was taken to Bangkok Phuket Hospital.
