This is from some hidden Japanese camera TV show. I don’t get how they get away with pranks like that in Japan? Punk’d is a kids show compared to this. Also I wouldn’t want to sit in that Lay Z Boy after some naked dude was all up in it.

I can understand books about things that happen in children’s lives…the growing up, the changing bodies, their brother or sister not coming from Mommy but from another country, Grandma or the dog going to “a better place.” But this, I cannot understand.

“Honey, when you were born, you made Mommy fat. And now she has to have that fixed.”
Welcome to My Beautiful Mommy

WTF?!
Written by a Florida plastic surgeon, this book was intended to help moms explain to their children why they are bandaged, bruised, grumpy, and unable to…well…be Mommy for a couple of days following their surgery. While the author claims that he is not trying to glorify plastic surgery, the picture on the cover seems to differ. Additionally, through explaining that “When I got older, my tummy stretched, and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore, but Dr. Michael is going to make me feel better,” we MAY not be teaching our kids to do things like…not eat junk, exercise, not spend thousands of dollars because Grandpa’s nose just didn’t look that good on me.
Again, WTF?

Yes, yes, we’re behind by a week. But we couldn’t help posting this video. How many times in your life do you hear someone call the Pope “awesome”?? Way to go, Bush. Way to go.

Washington DC is full of letter streets, but they seemed to have missed one: J.
So, concerned citizens who are interested in solving the Arab-Israeli conflicts picked up the slack and started J-Street, a political arm of the Pro-Israel, pro-peace movement. This is the first lobbying group of it’s kind that gives people who are both Pro-Israel AND Pro-peace a voice; until now, most political specialty groups were one or the other. The founders of J-Street are hoping that through serious discussions with American leadership and Israel’s neighboring countries, a serious 2-state solution can be found.

You can learn about J-Street’s perspectives on American foreign policies dealing with topics like Iran, Israel-Palestine, and Syria by visiting the website at www.jstreet.org. There are also links on ways to get involved.


Peace in the middle east!

I thought I’ve see it all, but this Yale student takes the cake! For her senior art project, Aliza Shvarts artificially inseminated herself while taking abortion pills to induce miscarriages over the course of nine months. The art show will begin next Tuesday and feature video of the forced miscarriages as well as the preserved collections of the blood from the process. WOW. I’m not really sure what to make of all this. Um, I’m going to go outside now and enjoy the sunshine or something.
