- keeperofkeys, on 07/11/2008, -0/+6Why, was there a horse attack, too?
- keeperofkeys, on 07/11/2008, -0/+4If you're living in 1974
- str3ama, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3it's Vogon poetry.
- vindos, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Hey,
Here is the link which has the photos from the moment seagull came behind the lady, attacked and took away the sandwitch..

I hope everyone of you like this.. I don't know who took the photos, whoever it is.. they clicked at the right moments.. - edebolt, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Bring on the attack pit bulls and restore the balance and harmony of the costal areas. Those seagulls are getting a little too cocky.
- waydee, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Doesn't surprise me, its the wrong time of year to get on the wrong side of the seagulls. Their young are at the age where they fall out of nests etc, mother seagull sees you getting too close to her baby and goes nuts - up here I see people getting attacked all the time. Of course it's not helped by the urban seagulls generally aggressive nature in the first place but I definitely notice them becoming worse this time of year.
I suggest if you see a brown (young) seagull in the street try your best not to get too close, seagulls that live on a diet of chips, dropped kebabs and alcoholic vomit as these urban ones do grow surprisingly large and aren't much fun to fight off. - airmann90, on 07/11/2008, -1/+3Slow news day.
- dudefather, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2"here is a reasonably mundane event which has been made into an article on a newspaper/ news website because it somewhat resembles a scene from a popular movie"
- topace3000, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Do you find the screech of the seagull terrifying?
- ElectroStep, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1I've lived in a sea-side town for most of my life, it's pretty common/funny to watch crazy gulls steal ice cream and chips from tourists. They can get pretty aggressive to (the gulls and the tourists).
- hpfilter, on 07/11/2008, -2/+3what you've written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having read that. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
- liuite, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1I once saw a seagull trying to hold a pigeon underwater while pecking it to death. Hopefully this seagull will pass it on as learned behavior.
- Suricou, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Yay for ravens!
- keeperofkeys, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Actually, no. You got me there.
- keeperofkeys, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1I live in Brighton where they are rife. Some people seem to like them, and there is at least one crazy old woman who feeds them bread - as if they need it!
If rats suddenly tripled in size and took to the air, emitting terrifying screeches, snatching food out of babies' hands and intentionally defecating on people's heads would we be so tolerant of them?
Sign me up for the cull. - ThinkBox, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1if it was really Hitchcock, the woman wouldnt be alive....
- nedy78, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Kind of disturbing, but hilarious at the same time. I have a bird feeder in my yard and when I put out sunflower seeds it brings out the ravens and they can be very violent towards each other. Although this was most likely a seagull of sorts, most birds are scavengers and if they get hungry, watch out.
- whysteriastar, on 07/10/2008, -3/+3Birds freak me out for this reason. A while back, I wrote a poem about how creepy they are:

- AgentOrn, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1I need the largest seed bell you have,....... no thats too big.
- jaythewise, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0Must have been trained by Colbert to attack this leftie pinko. (He ran out of Eagles)
- Fleagleman, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0Did anyone actually see "The Birds"? This woman was attacked by just ONE seagull. Get over it, already.
- OPR8R, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0I live a couple blocks from the ocean in California. I can tell you that this time of year seagulls are a menace (as much as a bird can be)...
I swear they actively try to ***** on things/people, and w/these birds' diet, it's not pretty. Also, they squawk like they're trying to drown out all other audio in the world, and, as the article says, these noisey birds get pretty protective around now. - DulcetTone, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0She hasn't suffered until the copyright lawyers get through with her!
- CarStan, on 07/11/2008, -4/+3THE END IS NEIGH!!!!111
- xMotionx, on 07/11/2008, -1/+0What is the quote from the 'triathlon' host in Adam Sandler for $200.
- AntiBassAlpha, on 07/11/2008, -2/+0Great, now people will be even more afraid of birds for no good reason. Birds aren't scary.
- havokzero, on 07/11/2008, -6/+1Seagull: 1 Woman: 0
I, for one, welcome our new seagull overlords.
OUR BITCHES ARE BELONG TO US!
***** THE APA!
There, I managed to compact all of the coming comments into one entry.
You're welcome. - fatas, on 07/11/2008, -6/+1Bird is often used in the UK for girl
