  <title>Britain&apos;s Stupidest Sign?</title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<div>There's hardly enough room to stand there, let alone play football or have a picnic. And it’s barely grass. Yet planted among the scrawny tufts in a 1m (3ft) wide patch of turf is this official warning for people to ‘Keep Off The Grass’.</div>
<div><br />
	</div>
<div>A spokesman said: ‘The sign was to remind motorists it is illegal to park on the footway and is designed to deter indiscriminate parking.’</div>
<div><br />
	</div>
<div>Council leader Stephen Alambritis admitted: ‘A sign on a piece of grass so small doesn’t make sense.’ Check it out below... and let us know of any stupid signs you spot around the West County. You can email them <a href="http://www.midwestradio.co.ukmailto:matt.crabb@midwestradio.co.uk">here&nbsp;</a></div>

  <description><![CDATA[
<div>Authorities in Rexburg, Idaho are handing out $50 (&pound;31) fines for people walking and texting at the same time.</div>

<div>In January, a woman in Pennsylvania walked into a water fountain at a shopping mall while she was texting. Footage caught by security cameras was uploaded onto the internet, where it has since been watched by millions of people around the world. You feel bad at laughing at her but it's so funny!

  <title>The art of crossing the road... </title>
  <description><![CDATA[Usually, when you're trying to cross a busy road in places like London or New York City, a set of traffic lights or a zebra crossing isn't too far away.However this isn't the case in Vietnam, all of the drivers and motor-scooter riders seem to ignore the basic purpose of a zebra crossing by refusing to slow down for any waiting pedestrians. However, one man decides to bravely - and perhaps a little foolishly - cross the heavy traffic anyway. He makes it to the other side unscathed. Check out the video below...&nbsp;

  <title>The Follow Up To &apos;Friday&apos; </title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<div>A couple months ago on the show we told you about 'The Friday Song' by Rebecca Black which was branded the worst song EVER.</div>
<div><br />
	</div>
<div>Well Rebecca is back... Even though the teenage star gets feisty over her critics, fans are still unimpressed with the video racking up over 88,000 'dislikes' on the site compared to more than 55,000 'likes'. It is, however, still as cheesy as the video for Friday with the sleek new promo showing Black getting her makeup done, stepping out at movie premieres, hosting the MTV Online Music Awards and reading newspaper articles about herself. Check it out below...</div>
