There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.
The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.
"Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical that any factors contributing to bias are uncovered and understood," he said.

The iPad’s a darn attractive gadget, but that 30-pin connector ain’t made for love. That’s why this Fleshlight-holding iPad case concept caught our eye. Imagine all the things you could pretend to have sex with! And it turns out, it’s not just some crazy, er, pipe dream. It, or something like it, is coming soon.
We’ve covered the Fleshlight and its many permutations both inside and out, so naturally when we heard about a fit this natural we took it on ourselves to figure out of a real version was in the works. Here’s what we turned up, straight from Fleshlight COO Brian Shubin...
Show Apple what you really think.

The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, had to be extracted from a restaurant near Parliament House as angry protesters banged on the glass.
Supporters of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra picketed the Lobby restaurant over comments by Mr Abbott this morning that the tent embassy should close.
As many as 200 gathered in front of the restaurant, banging on its glass walls and yelling "shame" and "racist".

Geoffrey Rush's trophy room, one might assume, would be a fairly impressive and comprehensive sight — and now the abundantly talented thespian must make room for one more: Australian of the Year 2012.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced the award this evening and presented Rush with his Australian of the Year trophy on the sweeping lawns of Parliament House, temporarily transformed into the grounds of a rock concert.
Ms Gillard said her fellow Victorian's Rush outstanding achievements in a lifetime career on the stage and screen and long term commitment to the Australian arts more than merited the honour.
What a champ. Mr Rush totally kicks ass and fully deserves it!

The next Xbox will ship to retailers in late October or early November of next year with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN.
Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, our sources have confirmed that mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU. Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for DirectX11, multidisplay output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.
Meh.

A teenager killed while train surfing in Melbourne’s south-east last night had been previously warned by police after he was caught hanging on to the back of a Metro carriage.
But the family of 17-year-old James Wilkinson said they believed the ‘‘lovable larrikin’’ had turned a corner recently after he gained employment as an apprentice builder and had been working up to 12 hours a day in his new job.
James, who attended De La Salle College and Camberwell High School, had boasted on a Facebook page dedicated to train surfing last year that he was the ‘‘Kelly Slater of train surfing’’.
His older brother had dropped him off at an 18th birthday party last night in Caulfield, where he had enjoyed a few drinks with friends.

Two years ago, Hanifa, 14, and Fazila, 16, were eking out a living selling chewing gum in the streets of Kabul to support their families. Now, the pair are paid instructors at Skateistan, what is thought to be the world's first co-educational skateboarding school - a spacious facility with two classrooms, a climbing wall, an array of ramps and walls plastered with colourful children's drawings.

Late last year, a British documentary used footage from a video game and amazingly labelled it as a secret IRA recording. It has now, a few months later, been given a severe dressing-down.
British communications regulator Ofcom, which began an investigation into the incident last October, has this week issued its report on the matter, and called the error a “significant breach of audience trust”, which highlighted “clear deficiencies” in fact-checking. Ofcom also said it was “very surprised” the ITV crew could believe the gameplay clip was actually footage of a Libyan tank.
Games to real to tell from real life or people too stupid to recognise a game?

A kitten was beheaded when a neighbourhood dispute turned ugly in Bendigo on Saturday.
Police believe a 41-year-old man grabbed the kitten belonging to his neighbour and ripped its head off with his bare hands, the Bendigo Advertiser reported.
Police were called to Dean St in Kangaroo Flat when an argument flared up after one neighbour parked his vehicle on the other’s nature strip about 9pm.
The 41-year-old man was charged with aggravated animal cruelty, as well as making threats to kill, after allegedly committing the atrocity with children and other onlookers watching on.
He was initially charged with drunkenness but when the cat was found more charges were laid.

You're ready to face the first big conspiracy theory of 2012.
Just last week, citizens in the Malaysian city of Kota Samarahan reported they were kept awake two nights running because the sky was ... snoring?
“It was around 2am when I was awoken by a strange sound," teacher Mohd Ferdauz Jemain told The Borneo Post.
"It was a loud hushing sound, and quite similar to someone snoring.
“I immediately got out of bed and went outside of my house to see what was happening. The feeling was a chilling one … it was as if something coming from the sky."
Ferdauz and many more residents reported the "loud snorings" on January 11 and 12.

A Florida teenager reportedly called the police and asked to be taken to a Christian children's refuge after she heard her mother having sex.
A police officer arrived at the girl's Panama City home at about 4am on Thursday morning and noted there had been a "verbal altercation" between the mother and daughter.
