A Greek man is suing a dairy in Sweden for 50 million kronor ($6.9m; £4.5m) for using his image on pots of Turkish-style yoghurt, Swedish media report.

The man only found out his moustachioed face featured on the containers of Turkisk Yoghurt made by Lindahls when a friend living in Stockholm told him.

Athanasios Varzanakos told Swedish Radio his friend "was annoyed and asked how it was possible" when informed.

I wish I were his relative if he wins the case.

Good idea!

I read the piece about the anti-rape condom, and have mixed feelings about it.

Ofcourse it´s a relief to not have to worry about AIDS once you´ve gone through such a horrible experience, and to be able to catch the bad guy. Any guy who rapes a girl deserves such a device attached to his dingdong. However... does this mean that a woman has to prepare herself for being raped every day? Insert that device inside her, every time she leaves the house? Have we come this far, that a woman has to place devices into her vagina, just to have some sort of protection against AIDS and a raper being unpunished? Because it will not protect her from the guy attacking her, ripping her clothes off, and entering her body. That such a device is needed, is a low point for humanity

In modern society, rape is a problem so is murder or theft. A civilized person is the one who can control his/her feelings so as not to resort to illegal avenues. Generally speaking, justice is meant for protecting the weak against the strong. Rapists therefore are punished when caught.

You probably trust your male friends. There are millions like you.  Majority of males would stay away from involuntary sex. As far as I have observed, a great deal of them detest paid sex too. That means, rapists constitute just a tiny bit of society. Nonetheless, the damage this tiny bit does to society is so grave.

Africa is another story. We must ask ourlselves, to what extent we can help the starving folks out there. Truth be told, we are not moving a finger. We let them go through the worst kind of nighmares including hunger and sexual abuses.

Some considerate guys in the civilized part of the world would like to make sure that at least raped women are not infected just because of being raped. After all, people have different priorities. Is it a wrong choice? I can´t tell....

I agree with Vineyards.. Of course you want there to be mechanisms that would stop sick men from violating women, but if that can´t be done, let´s at least try to protect the women from AIDS!!

Kyrgyz people got rid one of the US puppet and a great thief whos ruling the country with a mentality of tradesman, colorful revolts seems collapsing one by one. But unfortunately the ones who is in the power now, was in the same direction with Bakiyev before. I hope they can find a leader who is thinking the people of Kyrgyz not US or Russia.

I heard that Kyrgyz people will kick in the butt of the feto´s organizations in Kyrgyzstan, then i will really admire of them...

The brutality of Turkish?? police caught my eye, the interesting thing is; polices who had beaten Kurdish protesters in Hakkari, suspended immediately, but the ones who had beaten Turkish students who were protesting YÖK & university exams, are still on duty. Till now nothing happened to those...
