Though health care providers usually encourage breast-feeding as the healthiest alternative, teaching it to well pre-pubescent girls goes well beyond the good taste boundaries. Some would argue that it’s better than other dolls; ones that teach little girls that bottle feeding is the norm. I think both camps are missing the point.

I have another, more civilized idea. Let’s stop making dolls that teach young girls how to take care of babies. Are we not pushing these girls into earlier pregnancies because they are convinced they know how to take care of a baby, and because these stupid dolls don’t teach them that they need to wipe baby ass every hour on the hour? This romanticized notion of baby-rearing, is dangerous especially in underprivileged, less informed families, who are much more likely to have un-wed, immature teens who think they can handle it.

Maybe Berjuan’s next product will be a doctor’s set for boys, where they can give male dolls pretend prostate exams. In the same spirit of addressing important life issues through the mindset of a child.

Incidentally the baby name, “Bebe Gloton,” translates to “gluttonous baby.” I am undecided if that adds insult to injury here.

“We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whisky as a form of disinfection,” said VOB head Alexander Shprygin. For those of you not familiar with the Russian culture, drinking is not something that usually requires much peer pressure in Russia. Though the usual drink of choice is vodka, whisky is also 40% and both can be used as dis-infectants.

“Russian fans don’t fear anything or anybody so this virus will not stand in our way of supporting our team.” They don’t fear anything, except sobriety lest they realize their lives have not gotten better in the last 2o years.

Will gargling with hard liquor really kill the H1N1 virus? Who knows. Only one thing is for sure though; U.K. authorities will have a few hundred drunk Russians on their hands. The U.K. is already infamous for drunken soccer brawls, and is probably has the most thuggish fan base. I have faith, that my fellow Russians can show em how it’s done.

We all want to eat healthier and not die of cancer or nutrient deficiency. We seldom stop to wonder just how it is that these, 3 times more expensive, miracles of modern agriculture are made healthier. Perhaps we picture a farmer lovingly planting individual tomatoes. Perhaps we picture a farmer lovingly watching individual tomatoes and flicking the bugs off them to keep them pesticide free. Maybe we thought that the farmer hand picks every “organic” product, and then quickly hand-delivers them to our local grocer.

Ever wonder why the industry likes to use generic terms like “organic” or “natural”, instead of something specific like “pesticide free”, “E. Coli free”, “Salmonella free”, “Miracle-Gro free”?

Here is some food for thought. To prove something “not organic” the company would basically have to be selling you a rock. Any life on earth (plant, animal, insect) that contains carbon, would fall into the organic category. Your dog’s shit is organic, but that doesn’t mean you should be paying extra to eat it. So unless someone is trying to sell rocks, they can call whatever it is, organic. If, however, one were to make a claim of being “pesticide free”, or free of growing additives, or preservatives, that could be checked and companies can be sued. Makes me think the organic food industry is staffed by ex-politicians.

34 radio stations have been closed down, 200 more stand threatened with broadcast license revocation.

In addition to bankrupting his country, turning himself into God with no term limits, this ex-coca farmer also give weapons to Colombian drug runners to kill and kidnap civilians in Colombia. I wonder if it’s related to the fact that he is an ex coca farmer and the FARC make all their money selling coke?

He was quick to demonize Bush, deserved as it may have been, but turned out to be just as big an asshole. Just goes to show you, every socialist haven, is one power-mad shithead away from a fascist dictatorial state. I myself, am eagerly awaiting the UN Security Concil resolution that will be passed most expeditiously to deal with this threat to security and stability of another country. On second thought, all they have time for is anti-Israel resolutions, so probably not.

We have all seen the various ads where Apple uses vague concepts such as, “Macs are cooler” and “Macs are easier to use”, to push their wares. We have all seen the cheap shots they take at Bill Gates by having a geeky and technologically inept twit touting Windows, only to admit that Macs are cooler in the end.

Well now Microsoft decided to run some ads specifically targeting Apple, and unlike the former’s unsubstantiatable statements, Microsoft attacks Apple where it really hurts, on price.

Macs on average are about twice as expensive as Windows based machines, running on the exact same hardware, and now Microsoft is driving the point home. In the ad, Microsoft compares a $972 Dell laptop to a $1999 Mac with virtually the same hardware. Apparently Apple’s legal department called Microsoft to get them to stop running the ads, because they lowered the price of their PCs (oops I mean Macs) by $100, making the ad technically slightly inaccurate. The end result, however, is that Macs are still hundreds of dollars more expensive, and seeing as how Apple just tipped their hand, Microsoft has every intention to ratchet up the ads even more.

How does it feel to have the finger wagging in your face now Steve? Let’s do some LSD and talk about it.

So thanks oh wise bearded man, for making fun of your own religion like no one else possibly could.

Enjoy, and please read the subtitles.

I’m sure that with some improvement and ingenuity this concept will take off in the near future. Especially for those businesses focused on interactive media and design.

Instead of picking up a book, or learning to surf the internet, or getting a dog, this woman sought to, likely, ease her loneliness by lying to fertility doctors, and getting pregnant and giving birth at 66. This completely selfish and hateful act, has now left two children orphans and in the care of relatives only 3 years later. She has passed the torch of loneliness on to her kids, so they can suffer for the next 20 years without a mom or a dad, being raised by relatives that were not too pleased with the mom in the first place.

It’s times like this I wish there really was a Hell or some other kind of end-of-life atonement for the havoc we wreak in other people’s lives. It’s also events like this, that should make civilized countries re-examine the laws surrounding the responsibility of doctors for the outcomes of their practice.

That fertility doctor and his entire family should now be responsible for the care or at least the financial well being, of these children. Through no fault of their own, the children are now doomed to live a life of underprivilege and want. One relative is currently trying to raise money for their care by selling their story to a television program, turning the kids lives into a spectacle just to give them some sort of head start.The doctor, meanwhile, likely bought his wife something nice, went on vacation, made another payment on his Rolls Royce, or added to his kid’s college fund with the money he got for performing a procedure that is pretty much an abomination, a dereliction of his duties as a doctor, and a perversion of the miraculous gift of life.

It’s sad when doctors act like prostitutes, thinking only about the next trick, after their current client has gotten his rocks off.

The official position is that, “the use of the encyclopedia to advance personal agendas – such as advocacy or propaganda and philosophical, ideological or religious dispute – or to publish or promote original research is prohibited.” This clause is what was used as the justification for the bans.

While hating all religious institutions with equal zeal, I do wonder if the Church of Scientology is getting a fair shake. Are they policing the various other organized religious cults, from making ingratiating edits about their religions? Who is to say that the entries on Islam, Catholicism, Hinduism or Judaism are any more objective? The Church of Scientology has fought hard since it’s inception to be recognized and treated the same as every other religion, and is always facing negative criticism and being labeled a cult. It has always struck me as odd that they are looked down upon and are openly discriminated against, simply because their numbers are smaller than most other organized religions. Isn’t the fact that the members of Scientology perceive their beliefs as valid and important, enough for us to afford them the same protections that all other religions currently enjoy? Who is anyone else to say that their religion and ridiculous superstitions, are any dumber than burning bushes giving people the 10 commandments, wine being magically made out of water, or some prophet coming to inform his people of what god has told him. Imagine if we first made Muslims and Christians prove that their religion is not full of, and built on, bullshit before offering them the protections to practice as they see fit that they now enjoy?

Tolerance is what we preach, not what we practice.

I shit you not!

In this video she demonstrates her vaginal prowess, by flinging glass stuff on a rope that is attached to a ball that is being held by her most intimate of muscles. Apparently she started doing this, after noticing her those muscles being weak from child-birth and just never stopped. She is now able to hoist a 14 Kg weight with her privates.

I have always wanted to be able to crack a walnut with my anus but I didn’t know if it was possible. Now I know it is, and I finally feel inspired enough to try. I will debut my new maneuver at the next BBQ.
