Man Loses Testicle After Kick from Stranger!

10/30/09 7:33 PM

Now, I can't say that I've never wanted to do this, but...whoa. According to this report by the Calgary Herald, a man walking down the street in the Canadian province was kicked in the groin without any explanation by a female passerby. The victim, 22-year-old Anthony Clark, realized "something was missing" later that night and, yes, that "something" was one of his testicles. The force of the woman's kick caused his testicle to rupture, but no worries! Clark will be getting a brand new prosthetic testicle for Christmas.  He will still be able to father children, in spite of his injury. Now I can't say I've never contemplated doing this while in a blind rage and angry at the entire male race, but this may be taking a smidge far, don't you think? ...

I Would Hail a Pink Taxi

10/20/09 4:51 PM

A private Mexican company has just launched a cab company, Pink Taxi de Puebla, specifically for the women of the city.  The fleet of taxis are all painted Pepto Bismol pink and driven by female drivers to cater to female passengers. The mission is to provide safe cabs for women, so they can avoid the ogling and harassment that often goes along with hopping into a cab with a male driver late at night. Along with arming the pink cabs with tracking devices and panic buttons that connect to the city's emergency services, the drivers will provide beauty products if asked. I say, rock on! I've fortunately never had any harrassment issues with New York cab drivers, but I really would not mind having my driver hand me a hand mirror when I'm trying to make my way across town.  What do... 1 comment

Interracial Couple Denied Marriage License!

10/16/09 4:15 PM

Keith Bardwell, a justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, LA, refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple this past week. Bardwell insisted that he is not a racist and says that he only refused to marry the couple (Beth Humphrey and Terence McKay) out of concern for their (possible) future children.  He expressed concern that most interracial marriages end in failure (in his very humble and very inane opinion).   This is absolutely ridiculous; I can’t even believe that people like this actually still operate in the world. It’s 2009, not 1959!   The NAACP and ACLU are already demanding that Bardwell step down from his position because of this incident.   Send an e-mail to Tangipahoa Parish’s court office to let them know what...

Leona Lewis: Bitch Slapped?

10/15/09 12:17 AM

According to People, Leona Lewis was assaulted by a fan (well, maybe "fan" isn't the correct term) today during a book signing in London.  Apparently, the singer was there for about an hour and a half when a man approached her and punched her right in the face! The weirdest part of this story is that he waited until after she signed the book to punch her in the face! I've alway thought that  Leona Lewis seemed like such a sweet girl, what with her whole "save the animals" schtick.  What could she have done to deserve to be hit in the face? More importantly, though, where the hell was this guy during Kate Gosselin's book tour? UPDATE: The Sun is now reporting that the man who assaulted Lewis is named Peter Kowalczyk.  Apparently he struck the...

The Pro-Lifers Take Ownership of Cupcake Day

10/13/09 2:07 AM

I'm so bummed I didn't realize this was going on October 9th, but I thought this deserved some attention anyway.  A pro-life organization, Cupcakes for Life has decided to hijack the very happy sounding "National Cupcake Day" to shed light on the abortion debate.  They've determined that the many aborted children who never got to have birthdays of their own should be able to celebrate with a baked good on National Pro-Life Cupcake Day. Maybe it's just me, but I don't personally want to think about defending my right to choose what happens to my uterus every single time I chow down on a cupcake at Magnolia. There are some gems below of the information that Cupcakes for Life has published to help convince children to partake in National Cupcake Day.  Way to bribe...

Depriving a Creature of Bacon? Criminal!

10/1/09 9:54 PM

A skunk from Somerset, England, named Mr. Bumble (cute name!) has been placed on a strict diet, cutting out his diet staple of bacon sandwiches. His previous owners fed him the fatty breakfast meat frequently, resulting in his balooning to twice his recommended weight.  In addition to placing him on a new vegetarian diet, Mr. Bumble is made to exercise for about an hour a day by his new caretakers at the Tropiquaria Zoo. Evil!  Have these people never heard of the Atkins Diet?  Bacon is one of my diet staples, so I think they should let the poor creature have his favorite snack; bacon is one of life's purest pleasures. Mr. Bumble is not overweight--he's big boned, people! What do you guys think?...
