TikTok videos of animal dolls are no fun for toymaker who is SUING social media account
The viral clips of Sylvanian families drinking, dealing drugs, arguing and cheating on their partners have become fan favourites on TikTok. But the melodramatic vignettes, which include a mouse relapsing on ketamine and a hedgehog drink driving, could be a thing of the past. The scenes posted under the username Sylvanian Drama on social media, feature storylines starring Sylvanian Families figures and have racked up more than three millions followers on TikTok and Instagram. But now the mastermind behind the viral videos is under attack after the Japanese maker of the toys, Epoch Company, filed an infringement case in the US, claiming the videos have caused 'irreparable injury' to its reputation. In response, the owner of the account, Thea von Engelbrechten, from Ireland, filed a counternotice claiming her works were 'parody'. The small velvet animal toys first launched in 1985 with characters including dogs, bears, foxes and penguins. The plush toys live in mansions and houses filled with sumptuous furniture and gorgeous decor. While they were originally marketed as children's toys, the viral videos have significantly darker, more adult themes with skits captioned with 'My marriage is falling apart' and 'Your daughter has been kidnapped'. The videos, posted on Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook and TikTok have millions of views and the account has even partnered with luxury brands from Marc Jacobs, to Burberry, and Hilton for advertisements. Court documents filed by Epoch with the southern district of New York on July 4, first reported by the BBC, accused Von Engelbrechten of infringing the company's copyright without its permission, causing irreparable injury to its goodwill and reputation. One stated that in an interview with Fohr, an influencer marketing company, Von Engelbrechten said her inspiration for the storylines came from 'cringey TV shows and early 2000s comedy'. But Epoch alleged that, even though the creator had changed things about the toys including dressing them in 'different costumes' and adding 'fake eyelashes', the advertising deals were a form of unfair competition because they featured the toys for commercial gain without the company's permission. Epoch attempted to take down the popular social media account before and briefly got it removed last year, but it was restored after Von Engelbrecht filed a counternotice. The Daily Mail has approached Von Engelbrecht and Epoch Company for comment.

British man charged with trying to drown his daughter-in-law in swimming pool on Florida holiday
A British man who allegedly tried to drown his daughter-in-law in a holiday swimming pool in Florida has been charged by police. Mark Raymond Gibbon, 62, of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, allegedly held the 33-year-old underwater repeatedly after they argued about his grandchildren. He allegedly only stopped when a pair of sisters staying next door called the Polk County sheriff's department. The victim's nine-year-old daughter also allegedly jumped into the pool to stop Gibbon from drowning her mother. The family were staying at a rental home in the Solterra Resort of Davenport, Florida, when the incident occurred on Sunday, according to Sheriff Grady Judd. Officers responded to reports of a disturbance in a pool at around 5.20pm local time. "It's great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same," said the sheriff. "Because Mr Gibbon couldn't control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated." Gibbon was arrested and taken to Polk County Jail, where he was charged with attempted second-degree murder and battery.

Trump threatens takeover of Washington, D.C., with National Guard to fight crime
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested he may use the National Guard to police the streets of Washington, D.C., in his latest threat to take over running the city that serves as the seat of the U.S. government. "We have a capital that's very unsafe," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We have to run D.C. This has to be the best-run place in the country." Trump, who has threatened a federal takeover of the city multiple times, renewed those threats after a young staffer who was part of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted over the weekend. Musk, the billionaire former adviser to Trump who once spearheaded the DOGE effort, said the man was beaten and received a concussion. "It is time to federalize DC," he wrote. Asked if he was considering taking over the D.C. police, Trump responded affirmatively. "We just almost lost a young man, beautiful handsome guy that got the hell knocked out of him," Trump said. The president posted a picture of the victim, Edward Coristine, known by the nickname "Big Balls," on social media, with blood on his face, arms, torso and legs. "We're going to beautify the city. We're going to make it beautiful. And what a shame, the rate of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else. We're not going to let it. And that includes bringing in the National Guard, maybe very quickly, too," Trump said. A spokesman for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declined to comment. Violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26% in D.C. compared to last year while overall crime was down about 7%, according to records on the police department's website. Overall crime was down 15% in 2024, compared to 2023, the website showed. The District of Columbia was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland. Congress has control of its budget, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council, thanks to a law known as the Home Rule Act. For Trump to take over the city, Congress likely would have to pass a law revoking that act, which Trump would have to sign. The president said on Wednesday that lawyers were already looking at overturning the Home Rule Act.
