aren't they?

*NOTES:
1- Unfortunately this news is old (2007) but I found it now and I found it intresting!
2- In the blogs where I found the pictures some people were feeling offended by them... I'm sorry, I find them funny, anyway if anyone can explain me what would be offensive in them I'll happy to understnd better.

Enjoy the clips.
