October 18 RealdollAlright, so I read this news story on Yahoo, and I couldn't resist checking it out.
I don't know, but (link contains explicit content) these things just scare me. They look dead. Interestingly enough, the male doll can have a penis size ranging from extra-small to extra-large, or flaccid. Boob size is not custom - you pick a body type and the boobs come with it, but they also seem to range from teeny-tiny to improbably large. All the body types are improbably skinny by the way.
Scary. And scary expensive too. $6499.00 for a standard female doll, and $6999.00 for a standard male doll. You can also get a she-male doll as a special order. $500 to $1000 extra, depending on the option you want.
I think I've spent enough time talking about this now. July 04 Pizza and PornNow here's a franchise I would consider buying. It's a guaranteed success. And yes, I would order pizza from this place, provided the pizza was good and reasonably priced. No point in putting up with bad pizza or paying extra when porn is freely available on the internet. And I gotta wonder how they keep the picture from getting all greasy/cheesy/saucy. They must put some parchment paper between the pizza and the picture or something.
The interesting statistic that 75% of this place's customers are women makes me think of an article I read recently in O Magazine. The article discussed studies in which the arousal levels of men and women who watched porn was measured. On average, it took women one minute longer to become aroused than it did men. Statistically insignificant. They then showed both men and women heterosexual, gay and lesbian porn. Physiologicially, men responded (slightly) more strongly to the porn that reflected their sexual preference. Women responded equally to all porn. They liked it all. However, only about 25% of women stated that they enjoyed watching it, despite the fact that their bodies clearly became aroused. Interesting number we've done on women when it comes to sex.
The biggest issue that women raised, not surprisingly, was feeling their bodies were inadequate compared to the women in the movies. Once again, screwed over by society. You gotta figure, porn stars are in that business for a reason. They have the fantasy body, the big (likely fake) boobs, are shaved all over, have makeup everywhere and are probably (in the big budget porn) airbrushed on top of that. And I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure that I want to see women that look like me in porn. I don't know why. Come to that, I probably don't want to see guys that look like the guys I know in real life in porn either. It's supposed to be a fantasy isn't it? Although, I have to say, the guys in porn are often disappointing in the looks department.
But what really really interests me about the body image thing is that you don't see guys feeling uncomfortable about watching porn because their dicks are smaller than the guys in the movies (cause come on, those guys have that job for a reason too) or because their bodies aren't as buff. Guys just aren't as bothered by that kind of thing. Is it societal programming, genetics, what?
December 13 I Wonder If He's Married ...Apparently, there's this teacher in Virginia that has been suspended from teaching because of his side business.
His side business is painting with his butt and genitals. His buttprint paintings are quite popular and pretty expensive. He has always conducted the business under a pseudonym and has appeared in disguise in any promotions he does for his art. Students describe him as a "a fun, popular art teacher who is always quick to crack a joke". They are calling his suspension "stupid," "ignorant" and "kinda retarded."
Part of the issue appears to be "that schools must teach by example and that teachers, like parents, are role models." I don't know, but this guy seems like a pretty awesome role model to me. MeowA while back, I referenced a news article about a boy who was being sued for meowing at his neighbour.
Luckily common sense has prevailed and no charges have been laid.
People are stupid. November 22 Let's All Do It, Shall We?Here's a real feel good story. Two peace activists have conceived a Global Orgasm for Peace. Their goal is to have everyone in the world have an orgasm on the first day of winter. They say that the orgasmic state is meditative and that mass meditations have been known to make changes in the world.
So mark your calendars ladies and gentleman and make sure you get off on December 21st. Hey, it's for world peace after all. I'm willing to give it a shot.  August 30 Sure You're Going to Destroy ItThis probably happens a lot, but I thought it was cute. A dozen marijuana plants 4 to 6 inches tall were found growing in a planter near a police substation's front door in Duluth, Minnesota. Even funnier is the following claim: "[the supervising police lieutenant] said the plants would be placed in a paper bag and destroyed when the next batch of police-confiscated drugs are destroyed." Sure. We believe you.
August 23 CowardsThe stupidity never ends. This time, a guy breaks up with his fiance via text message!!!!!!! Nice. Of course she's better to be rid of any nimrod who would break up by sending a text message, but man, what is up with people?
The article goes on to give all sorts of very trite advice on the proper way to break up with someone, such as "The person doing the dumping should praise his of (sic) her partner and make the breakup about himself or herself ..."
Lovely. Of course they should. And of course the dumpee will accept and believe that without question. When we all know that the real reason for the break up is (say it with me everyone):
I'm just not that into you. MeowJust too many great news stories today. Gotta love this. Boy charged for meowing at neighbour lady. No joke. This has gone to court. A judge is being asked to rule on whether this is midemeanor harassment. Yes really. A 14 year old kid meows at his neighbour and she charges him with harassment. Good thing people have lots of free time on their hands.
Meow, meow, meow. When I Die, Send Me Off Like This Ok?Seriously. I think this is a great idea. Funerals could use some lightening up, and I am all about making sure people are entertained. So bring on the strippers baby. Male and female I think. Something for everyone that way. BEIJING (Reuters) - Striptease send-offs at funerals may become a thing of the past in east China after five people were arrested for organizing the intimate farewells, state media reported on Wednesday. Police swooped last week after two groups of strippers gave "obscene performances" at a farmer's funeral in Donghai County, Jiangsu province, Xinhua news agency said. The disrobing served a higher purpose, the report noted. "Striptease used to be a common practice at funerals in Donghai's rural areas to allure viewers," it said. "Local villagers believe that the more people who attend the funeral, the more the dead person is honored." Wealthy families often employed two troupes of performers to attract a crowd. Two hundred showed up at last week's funeral. Five strippers were detained and local officials "issued notices concerning funeral management," Xinhua said. Now village officials must submit plans for funerals within 12 hours after a villager dies. And residents can report "funeral misdeeds" on a hotline, the report said. August 22 What Are We Thinking?Sometimes I just don't know where our heads are. The famous cartoon duo of Tom and Jerry are in trouble in Britain for smoking on screen.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think we should be exposing kids to smoking in cartoons, or generally doing anything to make smoking appear cool and normal. They'll get that soon enough. But did anybody notice that these cartoon characters also run around wielding knives, axes and hammers? Not worried about that though huh?
I wonder when it was that violence became so acceptable in our society. Has has it always been acceptable? I notice something interesting, particularly about American TV. Some night, watch a late movie on one of the American stations. They could be showing a really violent movie, with killing, blood and gore. However, they will censor out the swearing. Even at 11pm or later. And, God forbid there should be a sex scene -- no boobs allowed on American TV. Somehow hearing the word shit and seeing a boob will corrupt society. Seeing some guy get his brains blown out will not. How about that?
Interestingly enough, if you watch the same movie on CityTV or CBC, they will give up all attempts at censoring after about 9pm. So you'll get to hear the cursing, see the boobs and the violence. I mean if you're going to show murder, which society at large generally deems unacceptable, why not show cursing and sex, which as far as I'm concerned, seem to be pretty natural (and sometimes enjoyable) parts of life?
But hey, what do I know? An Interesting AmputationA man born with 2 penises wants one of them removed. Both of the penises are fully functional which is apparently unheard of in cases of diaphallus (usually one of the penises is just tagging along for the ride). The surgery is expected to be complicated, as it will be necessary not to disrupt the blood supply to the penis that remains in order to ensure it continues to be fully functional.
I would have thought that this guy could have a lucrative career in the adult film industry. Kind of too bad they didn't include a picture with this news story. August 21 Condoms As ArtInteresting timing on this news story, giving my rant yesterday on the use of condoms. It seems that at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto, efforts are underway to de-stigmatize the use of condoms, particularly in countries (such as many African countries) where their use is taboo. To that end, condoms are being used for art projects. At the conference, a craft table has been set up where people can decorate condoms and make them into pins and brooches. Apparently, over 30,000 condoms have been decorated this week alone at the conference, and over 400,000 condoms have been decorated worldwide.
I'm all for anything that promotes the use of condoms to prevent the spread of disease and unwanted pregnancy. But I have to wonder if somehow we wouldn't have been better off sending those almost half a million condoms to nations where the spread of AIDS is rampant. However, if they wouldn't use them, I suppose they would have been wasted. Here's hoping this art project effort helps educate people. And if I ever get married again, this is the dress I want for my wedding. I imagine it would be hot though, wearing all that latex. I'll have to get married in the winter. And yes, the person looking at the dress is a man.
August 18 What Are They Putting in That Chocolate?Great news story this. Workers at a chocolate factory discover chocolate drippings that resemble the Virgin Mary. For the record, I think it looks like a bird, but what do I know. I'm always amazed at the things people will take as a sign. Scrambling for faith.
August 16 Online Dating Sinks to New LowsWith my online dating obsession, this piece of odd news caught my eye. A Dutch zoo hopes to hook up two organutans through the internet.
Not all that much different from the online dating I've experienced when I think about it.
As evidence. This is an organutan.
This is the last guy I met from an online dating site:
A striking resemblance methinks.
