Lohan/HIV Twitter- Update

So, that posting I had up about Lindsey Lohan's dad claiming she had HIV...faked. I am relieved.

Note to Arizona...

Stop it; just, stop it.

Man Dies After Eel Is Inserted In His Rectum

I tagged this both as 'sex' and as 'crime'. Why? Because I have to admit I first thought he either did this to himself or was a willing participant. Strangely, the hyper-liner telling of this story doesn't reveal that his friend did it to him while he was passed out drunk (awful!!) until the very end, almost as an after thought. Most people won't get that far and just, as I did, assume the kink aspect of this story from the headline (I mean, come on!).

Grandmother and Grandson...lovers...

...and having a baby together. No. Seriously.

What separation between church and state?

'Activist judges', indeed. I love thier obviously 'strick consitutional construction' stance too. Way to be consistant.

Are the snakes bigger in TX too?

If you have to carry a gun with you to protect your dog while on a jog (also, why would you go out without your security detail, Governor?), your dog is clearly one of those fancy-fied, east coast/west coast coast dogs. But in all seriousness, the reason why the good Governor Perry was packing was so much more understandable:

Perry said he will carry his .380 Ruger – loaded with hollow-point bullets – when jogging on trails because he is afraid of snakes.

Yes, snakes. Hollow-point bullets fired from a laser-sighted gun...for snakes.

Does Lindsay Lohan have AIDS?

And, more importantly regardless if true or false, how low does one have to be to post it about your own daughter? Talk about unhinged. For shame.

First do no harm

Because killing someone in front of their pregnant wife on their own lawn...hell, even just killing someone. From the article:

In the suit, the suspected killer [a doctor] acknowledges he faced other allegations of anger and behavioral problems while at Kingsbrook. His suit said he was unfairly labeled excitable, emotional and unable to control anger.

Yeah, this isn't at all going to call into question whether those allegations where 'correct' or not.

Golf clubs beat out actual luggage people might need

In today's award for worst excuse ever, a spokesperson from Direct Air (who? exactly) tries in vain to explain why approximately 40 bags were left behind while gold clubs went on:

"The golf bags went on first so we could make sure, because people are coming down to golf and they want to have their clubs on the course,"

Yeah...no one wanted all that other crap they packed. And for this, I am sure they all paid for the privilege of checking their luggage.

Blaming the (almost) victim

As bad as this is, I fail to see why they don't make a bigger deal about the fact that the woman he helped left him like that first. In my mind, she has the most responsibility (after the actual attacker, obviously) since she would have at least known the attacker had a knife. It is also possible she witnessed the stabbing. Either way, we know she had a cell phone; she should have called in the incident while running away if she was so scared.

Playing Devil's Advocate, it can sometimes be hard to know when someone on the street needs help. I once called 911 for a homeless man I watched go down on the street, when I talked to him he seemed indifferent but when the EMTs arrived he got up and started reacting violently. Citylife may make us hard, but it is normally because we have life a life which makes us so

Beer ad hell

This ad is revolting. 'Why?' you may ask- is it the overt sexism? No. Maybe the stereotyping of older persons? Not at all. Perhapses because it's for such a shitty beer. Wrong again. So why am I so offended? The glorifications of hipsters. Die, hipsters! Die Die Die!!

If you have been following politics as of late, you may have heard that the Republicans are less than thrilled with health care (really health insurance) reform. No, really! It's been in a lot of papers! Out of the great state of Nevada, comes this charming Senate candidate who, in what can only be a revelation of sheer genius, has been arguing that we should take the initiative and try and barter with our doctors for care and treatment just like back in the olden days. You know, when people died at 35, there were no antibiotics, and the profession of doctoring had nothing to do with actually saving lives. Ah, misplaced nostalgia! And she isn't even the only one! This is a growing movement!


And this isn't even what I am on here to write about. I had to share this site, which uses humor to point out just how, well, stupid this idea is. 41 chickens for an ob/gyn visit? 4482 for bypass surgery? Yeah, this is going to work.

BK brunch

Call me old fashioned, but, to me, brunch is one of those little niceties in life; a time to join friends and loved ones to break bread, preferable over well-mixed drinks and glorious weather. I will tell you what it isn't: going to Burger King for a 'non-alcoholic mimosa'.

I am not so much of a lush that I even require athe drink, but I can't help but feel that this is missing the point of brunch and the time honored division between 'nice' sit down restaurants and fast food places. Who really would want to linger with their faux mimosa, contemplating the latest in politics, books, and gossip when you are sharing space with homeless people and tourists looking for a bathroom? I originally was going to add 'screaming kids' until I remembered, sadly, that this is a fixture at both locations and, thus, part of the joy and necessity of the alcoholic drinks with one's meal.

Update on the guy with the small penis truck


For an update on this guy's coded racist plates and a maybe a small feeling of satisfaction, go here.

Ke$ha without the record deal

This 18 year old was drugged out on hillbilly heroin and crashed into a 69 year old woman in her yard, killing her. The bright side according to the failure of a human being? 'She was old'.

Stay classy LI.

Somehow, I think PETA is gonna be pissed



I don't know, it's not like wearing an antelope head isn't going to improve the whole fanny pack look.


PS: the artiest's other work is actually very cool. Check it out.

New meaning to ''hard drive'?

I am a pretty open-minded kind of person, more than most even. There is, quite literally, no sex act, fetish-y perversion that I am not aware of, familiar with, or even shhhhh a participant in. Having said that, I am at a loss here. Either this is a fake post meant to get attention (it’s happened) or this is some sort of international espionage trick. The only other alternative, that this is something she is into, confounds me. Also, just how ''understanding'' is this guy?

Sheep-pig

Not a sheep. Not a pig. Sheep-pig.

No, a Crack Shield has nothing to do with crack but you will sure as hell look like you are on some when you wear it.

There should be limits. No, really. Limits. And the "Backtacular Gluteal Cleft Shield" (that gets a WTF all it's own) should be very high on said list.

I will admit to occasionally flirting with the idea of a tramp stamp, but I have never understood the ultra low cut jeans look. What do you get when you combine the concept of the two together: this abomination. If your jeans are so low you feel the need for an ass crack ‘shield’ (which, oddly enough, sort of reminds me of a bible being kept warm by your asscheeks) than your pants are too damn low!

You just know this guy has a tiny penis

While the imagine of the back of this truck is interesting enough (as is the fact he is parked in a handicapped space which, IDK, I just can’t help but want to call BS on) the license plate is also of interest here. Someone in the comments section already picked this up, so I paraphrase:

Meaning of the 14CV88 vanity plate number:

CV "Sons of Confederate Veterans" plate."88= HH or, Heil Hitler (H=8)

14" refers to the 14 "white words" - 'We must secure the existence of our race and a future for our children.'"

Now, this can all be a very interesting coincidence (oh how I would love a better close up of the other bumper stickers! I just know they are filled with some real gems) and coincidences are the spice of a conspiratorial mind. Regardless: WTF. Furthermore, I am just so sick of so-called ‘real American’s using a NYC event to wrap up their racist ‘patriotism’. A guy like this would normally have nothing to do with multiethnic and racially diverse New York. In fact, I would suspect that deep down inside, a guy like this is happy we were attacked. After all, a large number of those killed at the WTC weren’t ‘real Americans’. So, to that, I add a ‘Go fuck yourself’ too.

Blast from the past- 12 years later

I remember this guy: he "knowingly infected at least 13 women" with HIV because he didn't believe the public health officials who told him about his infection. And he only got 12 years. And now he is about to be released. And he gets to change his name. They are considering confining him but I can't help but think there is all sorts of wrong with this.

Less "WTF" and more "HOLY SHIT"!

Damn!

Alzheimer's at 31

Honestly, this is quite sad although when I mentioned it to my partner he kept saying how sad it was for her because her life was over and how she wasn't able to raise her own child. I pointed out that she was beyond caring about that and I felt most sad for the husband. When one gets married, one does not expect your partner to deteriorate with a debilitating disease that steals them away from you emotionally and physically in a period of less than a year.

Live round in head

I saw this story a few days ago, but nothing quite drives it home like these pictures. I have yet to actually see a good explanation as to how something like this even happened in the first place, but at least all parties involved had a great story.

Doubling down on fat

Interestingly enough, the calorie count is not as awful as you would think it should be, but I doubt you will feel like running any laps after eating one.

Say it with me...

...you are NOT a fucking ninja. Lame.

So not that type of girl!

I had no idea it was so emotionally distressing to be associated with the 'wrong' strip club...sort of like when someone thinks you went to Yale instead of Princeton.

Saving chubby girls...

Seriously though, why go for the meat when clearly it is the gravy's fault? I think God likes a little 'meat' on the bones of his women; he did make Eve out of ribs afterall.
