Somehow, I knew this happened in Britain.
I guess you guys really love reporting your inane stories.

Teenager finds baby bat in her bra

Abbie Hawkins, a hotel receptionist, thought her mobile phone was ringing when she felt vibrations coming from her clothes. But she later discovered the tiny creature tucked away in the padded pocket of her underwear.

As staff and colleagues crowded around, Miss Hawkins, 19, produced the frightened bat, which was the size of her hand.

She said: "Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really. It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."

Miss Hawkins said she got dressed at 7.30am and arrived for work at the Holiday Inn Norwich North, near Norwich International Airport without noticing anything unusual. "When I was driving to work I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket," she said.

It was not until her lunch break, at midday when she felt a strange movement inside her bra, which had been hanging on her washing line the previous night. "I plucked up the courage to investigate and I pulled out a little baby bat. I just lost my breath when I saw it and I did not know what it was at first," she said.

Edit: Forgot the fantastic image

How could she not notice before ?

I guess that's what happens when you wear oversized bras.

Yes, I don't think a photojournalist was on the scene. They should have said something about that photo being an illustration, but hey, it's pretty lame for "journalism" in the first place.

Now that you mention it, yes, it looks like plastic.

Anyways, I call shenanigans.

Yes, it's impossible that a photo was staged to go along with the article. I thought that could be assumed...

No, it can't. I don't expect staged pictures in newspapers.

However, I might just have high standards, since I'm not reading just any crappy printed toilet paper...

I thought this was going to be a story about Bat Boy and teenage love.

Well, it was a ruse at any rate.

Wait a minute....THAT BAT LOOKS PLASTIC! I'VE BEEN DUPED!!

::maroma:: · Jul 9, 2008, 04:16 PM

For some reason I have the urge to be a plastic bat right about now.

Wait a second... could this viral marketing for The Dark Knight?

I'm pretty sure those are real. Wait, did you say bat?

(I think the photographer just wanted to take picture of large knockers.)

Railroader · Jul 9, 2008, 04:42 PM

I'm a little disappointed that Dakar didn't post the second pic along with the article. tsk tsk tsk...

I somehow managed to think it would be about GoRICKY’s second kid being born.

Xoote · Jul 10, 2008, 02:53 PM

thats so fake

Laminar · Jul 10, 2008, 05:17 PM

Wait...do you think that bat looks plastic, too? I'm suspicious.

Wow.

That girl has enormous areolae.

Randman · Jul 10, 2008, 06:02 PM

ENORMOUS everything you mean.

How many pictures were necessary to take in a story like this?

I could stand to see a few more.

turtle777 · Jul 10, 2008, 06:22 PM

That's not a bra, that's a carrying bag for melons

sek929 · Jul 10, 2008, 06:24 PM

The underwire must be like 0 gauge.

d4nth3m4n · Jul 10, 2008, 06:54 PM

is her head undersized, or is it just me?

Tiresias · Jul 10, 2008, 07:23 PM

People in this thread are attracted to this woman? WTF? She's a complete dog. Honestly, I'd rather sleep with the bat.

I think something else is oversized...

Just can't put my hands on it...

her arms and shoulders?

sign me the **** up.

subego · 07:16 AM

The faux startled look doesn't work for her.

What say everyone, 34F?

Edit: I'm pretty sure that's 34E in UK sizes.

Railroader · Jul 11, 2008, 09:00 AM

Looks like a 34 DD to me.

If her hair wasn't so glued to her head making it look disproportionately small she would look a lot better.

(That comment does NOT make me look gay!)

(Does it?)
