NOT so healthy ageing?
A video of a group of pensioners
has surfaced on YouTube, which
shows the thugs drinking alcohol
in a park whist listening to loud
music, smoking, fighting and
indulging in graffiti.
Rather than a new lifestyle fad
which would have healthcare
practitioners tearing their hair
out, the video is actually a
campaign by the UK Lancashire
Police Department to discourage
antisocial behaviour at any age.
Comments underneath the
video, posted by the supposed
thugs include “Epic! what we did
last nite!” and “Had a right laugh
last night - did some tagging, got
lashed, smashed a load of stuff
up and went trick or treatin”.
The tag line is “Anti-social
behaviour - It’s just not funny at
any age and will not be tolerated
in Lancashire.”

ART for art’s sake?
A New York performance artist
has delivered her most edgy
work yet, inviting guests to
attend the birth of her first child
in a public art gallery.
“The Birth of Baby X” took
place at the Microscope Gallery
yesterday, after Marni Kotak
publicised the imminent blessed
event which saw the gallery
transformed into a birthing room.
“This is all part of my approach
to life and art, and my goal of
creating authentic interactions,”
she said before the birth.
The Village Voice newspaper
reported that its reporter missed
the actual delivery, but when he
entered the “steamy space”
found Kotak calmly eating a
banana, the placenta in a bowl
and the baby’s father holding his
son who was wrapped in a towel.
The show continues until 07
Nov, with “remnants of the birth”
to be added to the exhibition,
along with a video of the event.
