Nude Models Strike

Nude model

You can take away their clothes, but don’t you dare take away their poor excuse for a job.

Nude models are currently on strike, seeking higher pay and fixed contracts. Male and female nude models protested in Italy, where only 50 out of 300 models have full-time contracts.

Incredibly unfair and unfortunate, right? Yeah…no.

Who in their right mind considers nude modeling a full-time career, let alone one worth protesting? My mind is positively boggled – can they really be serious? (more…)

Romanian Ex-Priest Sentenced to Seven Years for Gruesome Exorcism

Daniel Corogeanu

This is easily one of the most nutso stories out today.

Daniel Corogeanu, a former priest in Romania, was sentenced to seven years in prison for the 2005 murder of Maricica Irina Cornici, a nun marked as having the Devil inside her.

If that wasn’t odd enough, the way she died is: Corogeanu and four nuns subjected Cornici to a full-blown exorcism, bounding her to a cross and leaving her without food and water for four days. Strangle marks were also found around her neck.

I would usually state that strangle marks indicate foul play, but I think the crucifixion of a young, helpless woman may be considered foul play altogether. (more…)

What Guys Do Wrong In the Bedroom… According to a Girl

I am 22 years old. I tend to be attracted to older men. And still, I find myself hooking up with men who have absolutely no clue what they are doing in bed.

I don’t mean little things, like being unable to unzip my dress with one hand, or getting all tangled in the sheets forcing us to pause the action in order to perform a rescue. Those little things I can overlook.

What I can’t overlook is a Law Student’s inability to last longer than 3 minutes. Or to figure out where on earth a woman’s clitoris is.

What is the problem here? Did these boys learn nothing from sex education? And what about common sense? I mean, come on, who ever thought pushing a girl’s head towards your nether regions was a good form of foreplay? (more…)

Let Ledger Rest

Heath LedgerEven reporting on this makes me sick: a shocking video of Heath Ledger snorting cocaine at a party has surfaced (read: Entertainment Tonight bought it for $200,000).

The video, set to air on ET tonight, has since been pulled, out of respect for Ledger’s family.

I’m sure ET was being respectful when they bought the footage in the first place.

The hullabaloo surrounding Legder’s death is spinning out of control. Drugs, of course, were the dealbreaker in his demise; that much we know. But unearthing an old video of him indulging in the drug of denial doesn’t reveal anything new or relevant to anybody. It does, however, prove the entire affair is just a CASH-IN FOR BOTTOM-FEEDING TABLOID NAZIS.

There’s no sympathy for the dead in the land of “top story” blogs and “exclusive photo” paps. Hell, I’m guilty as charged as well – I’m letting this bother me enough to blog about it.

Exploiting the death of Ledger through “final pictures,” “exclusive interviews” and “shocking videos” is disgusting. I follow suit in reporting this because, well, you want to read about it. It’s “news,” right?

Here’s an idea, bloggers and readers: go outside. Do something relevant. Get the f** away from the computer for a moment and stop obsessing over celebrities.
