The PM And Prince Charles Critised For Flying To Saudi Arabia To Pay Their Respects
People were already unhappy about the government’s decision to fly flags at half-mast following the death of the late Saudi King Abdullah.

The prime minister and Prince Charles are set to spark more anger after announcing they will today fly to Saudi Arabia to pay their respects to the late King Abdullah, 90, who died on Thursday.
The government was heavily criticised yesterday by human rights campaigners, politicians and voters after taking the decision to fly flags on all government buildings at half-mast.
A spokesman for Westminster Abbey said it would have been "noticeably aggressive" if it had not flown the flag at half-mast . The Saudi Arabian embassy in the UK continued to fly their mask at full mast, as the country's custom is not to take part in official mourning.
The critics including human rights activists said that praising Abdullah as a reformer when his government carried out public beheadings, lashing of journalists, and arresting women attempting to drive ignored the human rights issues in the country.
Only last week, a woman was publicly beheaded after being convicted of sexual abuse and the murder of her step-daughter.
Kate Allen, director of Amnesty International UK, said: "No one is flying flags for the scores of people Saudi Arabia executes each year after unfair trials, and we should focus on the human rights reality in Saudi Arabia not the emblems of diplomacy."
The Queen, now the world's oldest leader following the death of Abdullah, has written to Abdullah's half-brother and new monarch Salman to say Abdullah "will be long remembered by all who work for peace and understanding between nations and between faiths."

11 Times "Friends" Cast Members Reunited And It Felt So Good
Nothing says “I’ll be there for you” like guest-starring on your friend’s show.
It's been 10 long years since Friends went off the air, and though fans can relive the beloved NBC sitcom in syndication or on Netflix at any time now, the cast has continued to support one another by appearing together on their post-Central Perk series. The women have reunited on Courteney Cox's shows Dirt and Cougar Town, fans practically got to see Monica and Chandler rekindle their love on Matthew Perry's Go On and Cox's Cougar Town, and almost everyone has turned to Lisa Kudrow for advice on Web Therapy. Though we're still holding out hope for a true, six-cast-member Friends reunion, let's relive every time the stars came back together for a mini-reunion.

The New Movie That Features Unprecedented Full-Frontal Male Nudity
“I feel bad for anyone that paid for the movie hoping for boobs,” The Overnight’s writer-director Patrick Brice told BuzzFeed News at the Sundance Film Festival.

The Overnight
PARK CITY, UTAH — This year's Sundance Film Festival boasts the most sexualized lineup anyone can remember, with The D Train, The Bronze, Tangerine, and The Diary of a Teenage Girl all putting libidinal impulses at their centers.
But even in that libertine crowd, the penis party in The Overnight stands apart.
"I feel bad for anyone that paid for the movie hoping for boobs," the film's writer-director Patrick Brice told BuzzFeed News in an interview on Saturday.
When planning The Overnight with executive producer Mark Duplass, Brice remembered wondering aloud, "What if we made a movie that had more male nudity than female nudity? Why don't we subvert that convention when it comes to these kinds of movies?"
And subvert they did. There is one scene in The Overnight in which one of the female characters is topless, but it is later overshadowed completely by the movie's extensive full-frontal dudity (a term for on-screen male nudity coined by my former colleague Chris Lee).
The Overnight follows two Los Angeles couples — parents of young sons — who experience a wild night together. One couple, Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling), have recently moved from Seattle and are desperate for friends. The other, Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and Charlotte (Judith Godrèche), are ensconced in a monied part of the city's Eastside, and volunteer to serve as new best friends and ambassadors for Alex and Emily, beginning with a dinner party at their well-appointed yet distinctly hipster mansion. The night is boisterous, drunken, and druggy, then weird and almost sinister, and finally, warm and touching.
There's a sexual undercurrent throughout, but to say in which directions it goes would be to spoil some of the movie's delights. When the penises appear, however, it is in an intentionally nonsexual context.
"A lot of times, when you see a sex comedy, they'll treat the characters as sex objects," Brice said. "I wanted to make a sex comedy where we weren't treating the characters like that."
At a turning point, Kurt suggests that the foursome go skinny-dipping and strips down to reveal a "goddamn horse cock," as Alex bitterly describes it to Emily. Alex is reluctant to take off his clothes because, as he tells his wife during their summit to decide whether to skinny-dip or not to skinny-dip, he's insecure about his own penis size. With that scene alone, which features Kurt and his penis swimming around unashamedly, The Overnight would have surpassed Forgetting Sarah Marshall in the male full-frontal department. But then, it goes further.

A bit later in the night, Kurt presses Alex and Emily about why they wouldn't strip and swim — and at that point, Alex decides to be honest about his insecurity. The admission soon turns into Kurt inspiring Alex to be proud of his penis and dance naked with the also-naked Kurt — it is screamingly funny, shocking, and truly unprecedented in Western cinema. And Eastern cinema too, I imagine. And porn, probably! (At least in this context.)
"It's a gag, but I also wasn't going to put it in unless it made sense, and hopefully have some pathos involved," said Brice. "It felt like a chance to mine new territory in that sense. I wanted to do it in a way that reflected a sensitivity that wasn't pointing at someone and laughing at him. I wanted this to be a real thing."
Still, there was plenty of laughter behind the scenes. "It was the best!" Brice said of the naked dance. "There's takes that are blown because our B-camera operator was laughing, and there was this shaking going on. Same with the butthole scene." (Reader, you will have to see the movie, which is seeking distribution at Sundance, to find out about "the butthole scene.")
As for the penises themselves, Scott, who also served as an executive producer on The Overnight, addressed the elephant in the room during the Q&A after The Overnight's Sundance Film Festival premiere on Friday. "Let's make this clear right now: They were both prosthetics."
Yes, a prosthetics company created them. But how did Brice go about imagining them? He, Duplass, and Naomi Scott, The Overnight's producer (and Adam's wife), extensively discussed "how big the big one should be, and how small the small one should be," he remembered. "I think I'm happy with the size we ended up with on both ends. We didn't want to make it astronomically insane."
And no, Alex's is not a micropenis, either. Just smaller than average. "We were like, we don't want this guy to have, like, a medical condition," said Brice. "And we wanted you to be able to see it in that shot. That will be the sequel, I guess. The return of the micropenis!"

17 Shocking Things Everyone Should Know About Adoption
You must have a certain BMI to adopt from Korea. What the what?!
It takes about 3 years and costs around $30,000 to adopt a child internationally.
"In many states, we can determine that someone is eligible to buy a gun in less than 4 hours," Craig Juntunen—founder and CEO of the global advocacy organization Both Ends Burning and executive producer of the documentary STUCK—told BuzzFeed Life. "But during the 3 years that an adoptive family is being proven eligible, the adoptive child is losing developmental days that they will never get back."
Globox Media / Both Ends Burning / Via buy.stuckdocumentary.com
During an international adoption, the first thing that happens is you get matched with your child.
Now that you have gotten attached to your adoptive child, the process begins. "This means that sometimes your child is waiting for years before you can actually take them home," Juntunen says.
Globox Media / Both Ends Burning / Via buy.stuckdocumentary.com
Your house has to be fully baby-proofed before the ball gets rolling.
For example: If you give birth to your child biologically, an official will not come to your house to ensure that you have a pool fence. But if you adopt, a social worker will make sure that your entire home is baby-proofed before you bring the baby home. "There's an element of mistrust in the adoption process, but when someone is born biologically we just assume that everything is fine," Juntunen says.
Globox Media / Both Ends Burning / Via buy.stuckdocumentary.com
The rate of adopted children has been dropping ever since 2004.
And it's not because there are fewer children up for adoption. In 2013, there were 7,092 worldwide adoptions. "The 2014 numbers arent out yet," international adoption attorney and director of outreach and advocacy for Both Ends Burning Kelly Dempsey told BuzzFeed Life. "But I anticipate lower numbers for this past year—maybe around 5,000 successful adoptions."
