CERVICAL cancer could be wiped out within five decades by screening and vaccination programmes, an expert has said. Professor Jack Cuzick, from Cancer Research UK, said current vaccines had the potential to eradicate three-quarters of cancers, while new vaccines and screening could wipe out the disease altogether in 50 years. Inmates get drunk on gel THE hand gel dispensers were put into prison to help prevent the spread of swine flu. But inmates started swigging the alcohol gel rather than put it on their hands. Some got so drunk they started brawling and the cleansing containers have been removed from the wings. A source at Verne Prison in Dorset, England, said: The prisoners started drinking the stuff straight out of the dispensers as soon as they were put out... The canisters have been removed now but I couldnt believe they were put out in the first place. Businessman targeted in YouTube hate campaignBY ROSS McDONAGHAN IRISH businessman has accused Google of being irresponsible after be- coming the victim of a targeted char- acter attack on YouTube. Entrepreneur Tom OConnor, of Da- taBackUp.ie, claims he spent more than a week attempting to have a video removed which had been uploaded by someone pretending to be him. The video, which claimed to be com- posed by Irish rapper Tom O C, fea- tured a poorly auto-tuned hip hop song, as well as pictures of a teenage Mr OConnor in various gangsta poses, taken from his Bebo site. At first, the 27-year-old laughed it off as a prank. But things took a sinis- ter turn when video links were sent to Mr OConnors clients. One client re- ceived a full press release claiming Mr OConnor supported guns, with a picture of him holding a water pistol. At the same time, the video went viral, drawing almost 200,000 views. Irish radio stations and even a US TV show featured the video, believing it to be real, making it the most viewed Irish YouTube clip this week. Mr OConnor believes an unscrupu- lous competitor or someone with a grudge may be behind the attack. As is usually the case with YouTube commentators, many believed it to be real, and posted hateful comments, some suggesting Mr OConnor should commit suicide. There are a lot of young people out there usingYouTube and these social networking sites. These multinationals have a responsi- bility to protect them, he said. Google said it could not comment on individual cases, but added YouTube staff review flagged videos seven days a week, to determine whether they vi- olated its Community Guidelines. When they do, we remove them.
