Taking rejection badly

Posted on by

People don’t like being rejected.  Some take it very badly.  But I bet no-one takes it as badly as an Indonesian teenager did.

Upon learning that his girlfriend intended to marry another man, he cut his penis off and tossed it down a well.

Doctors were unable to re-attach his dick because villagers could not find it. He spent several days in intensive care but is now in recovery.

According to a hospital spokesman:

"He’s still too shocked and embarrassed to talk to or see anyone."

Hardly surprising!

He also added:

"Cutting off a penis can be fatal."

It wasn’t in this case, but I bet the 19 year old guy wishes he was dead now.

Earth hour

Posted on by

On Saturday night was Earth Hour, where squillions of people all around the world turned the lights off.  We didn’t bother.

Earth Hour is feel good tokenism.  And that is about all most people seem prepared to do to tackle climate change – they say climate change is a major concern but when it comes to action, don’t want to actually do anything that costs money.

Witness the politicking over the Rudd government’s failed efforts to introduce its emissions trading scheme.  Now I’m not saying such a scheme is the best way to address climate change – I really don’t know.  Nor would I say the government did a good job getting people on board with it – the selling of the policy was appallingly bungled.  However, the bottom line was people were mostly bothered by it because it would cause extra costs for industry, and for consumers.

Well, duh, isn’t the point of an emissions trading scheme to price emissions in a way such that the generators of emissions and the consumers of their products are given signals in the form of higher costs that should encourage them to produce less emissions, and consume less of products that generate them.  Historically the costs of carbon emissions have not been borne by those producers and consumers – everyone, especially the environment, has paid while the producers and consumers get a free ride.  Electricity bills will be higher, jobs will be lost, the opponents of action on emissions argue.  Yes thats right, and the reason is that those bills have been artificially subsidised by not reflecting the full costs of electricity production, and those jobs were sustained artificially for the same reasons.  Just because thats been the case historically doesn’t mean its right or should be continued.

But no that’s too hard for everyone!  Lets just make ourselves feel good by having Earth Hours and the like – show support for the cause without having to change anything or god forbid, spend any money.

No money, try this

First you need a 12 year old daughter.

Second, you have to be a drug-fucked sleazebag.

Third, you need sleazebag friends.

Last July, a woman complained to close friend Gary Devine of having no money.  The woman, her daughter and Devine agreed the girl should act as a prostitute.  They advertised her services in the local paper. Mum booked a hotel room for 2 nights, and Devine acted as the girl’s pimp, charging $100 for half an hour and an extra $50 if the client did not want to wear a condom.  They made $2000 and the girl gave $100 to Devine, $400 to her mother and spent the rest on drugs for her mother. 

This was so lucrative that Devine then started running his underage prostitution business from his unit, where the girl worked Thursday to Sunday, seeing more than 100 clients.  After each night Devine took $200 and the mother $400, while the rest was spent on drugs for all three. 

Police finally caught up with them in November last year.  Devine has been held in custody since then, as has mum.  The daughter is in foster care.  She caught several sexually transmitted diseases as a result of this business venture.

Devine is a real charmer.  He was charged with procuring a young person to have unlawful sexual intercourse, permitting sexual intercourse with a young person on premises, being a commercial operator of a sexual services business and receiving a fee from sexual services provided by a child.   Not only that, but he was taped making phone calls from jail threatening violence against her.  As well, he almost certainly had sex with her, although 2 charges of rape were dropped.  He has history too, having previous convictions for defilement (whatever that is?) and assaulting a pregnant woman.  He is obviously also a moron of the highest order, one thing his defence lawyer said was that he now understood he had been committing an offence and had learned his lesson – as if he didn’t know it was a crime right from the outset.

He was sentenced this week to 10 years jail.  Mum has yet to be tried for her part in the family business.  One of the customers has also been caught, and charged with having sex with the girl, taking a photograph of her performing a sex act and possessing a copy of that photograph, deemed as child pornography offences, to which he pleaded not guilty.

10 years for selling a 12 year old girl to 100 plus men?  Way too lenient in my view.  This scumbag should have been put away for life.  Mum too, her breach of trust and duty of care is even worse than Devine’s.  The clients should be identified, named, shamed and given jail time. 

Not exactly 5 star

Posted on by

There’s a hotel in Memphis in the USA which I suspect falls well short of 5 star standards – quite likely even 1 star.

Investigating a bad smell in a room led to the discovery of a woman’s body under the bed.  It was that of Sony Millbrook, who had been reported missing on January 27.

Millbrook had been staying in room 222 at a Budget Inn and was last seen there at 7am local time by a staff member who advised officers the room had been locked that day for lack of payment but all of her personal belongings were still inside the apartment.  Later they were boxed up and the room made available for rental.

Before the discovery of her body the room had been rented approximately 5 times and cleaned by the hotel staff numerous times.

Clearly a quality establishment!

Tampons = nothing to do with vaginas

Posted on by

According to American TV networks that is.  An American tampon maker had its advertisement rejected by major television networks because it spoke the forbidden word, ie vagina.  Even when the company substituted "down there" for vagina, two of the networks still wouldn’t run the ad – so the company dropped the ad.

A spokeswoman for the advertising agency responsible for the ad said:

"The whole category has been very euphemistic, or paternalistic even, and we’re saying, enough with the euphemisms, and get over it. Tampon is not a dirty word, and neither is vagina."

but even better was the comment in The Sexist blog – just love this one:

"Now, the commercial contains no direct references to female genitalia – you know, the place where the fucking tampon goes."

Oddly enough, the same TV networks don’t seem to have a problem with about references to "erectile dysfunction" in prime-time ads for Viagra and Cialis, pointed out an executive for Kimberley-Clark, the tampon manufacturer.

Terrible love

Posted on by

 

I am so looking forward to The National’s new album, out in May, called “High Violet”.  They previewed one of the songs from it on US TV last week, and I love this song, “Terrible Love”.  Looks very promising that the new CD will be every bit as good as “Alligator” and “Boxer”.

Also in May, The New Pornographers release their new album, “Together” … judging from the one song off that has been released, “Your Hands (Together)” that sounds promising too.

Please please keep this promise, forever

According to her agent, Max Markson:

"Lara Bingle will not be commenting on her personal life,"

Thank fuck for that is all I have to say about that.  Please, please stick to this promise Lara.

How stupid is it that the lead story on the news the last couple of days has been the apparent breaking off of the engagement between Lara Bingle and Australian cricketer Michael Clarke.  Media has even camped outside their Bondi apartment doing live crosses during news programs.

However, I’ve got a feeling that she will eventually talk, once the price offered by one of the media outlets is right.  She’s just too much of a famewhore to resist another moment in the spotlight.

It would seem that Bingle’s career and life had become just too much of a circus for Clarke to tolerate.  The straw that broke the camel’s back looks to have been her decision to sell her story in response to the publication of a nude photo taken of her allegedly by former lover, AFL player Brendan Fevola, in the Womans Day magazine.  While the wise decision would have been for her to lay low, and say very little about it, her decision was to give an exclusive tell all interview about what she felt, how she planned to sue Fevola etc.  She would have enjoyed privacy, come across as the victim of a dickhead like Fevola having taken a nude photo of her and then circulated it around his mates.  End of story – Bingle comes out of it sympathetically, Fevola pathetically.  But being a famewhore desperate to remain in the public eye she had to sell her story to the highest bidder.  Stupid woman!

Actually, I’m suspicious that the nude photos being made available to the magazine and the subsequent interview with the same magazine were all orchestrated by Bingle and her management to gain publicity and hopefully open up some commercial/career opportunities for her.  Hopefully its backfired badly, and she fades quickly into obscurity.  But I don’t hold out much hope of that … someone will figure that they can make money out of her.

Speaking of careers, what actually is she famous for?  Modelling, well yes marginally, but more so isn’t it just for the people she’s been screwing – she seems to have a taste for prominent sportsmen – Michael Clarke, Brendan Fevola, supposedly also footballers Craig Wing, Benji Marshall and Greg Bird (although she denies at least some of them).  She also is said to be friends with some interesting characters – colourful Kings Cross identities (usually code for criminal) and the sons of a deceased alleged Sydney major crime figure.

Wouldn’t surprise also if Clarke’s decision came about because Cricket Australia dropped a few hints about his circus sideshow of a girlfriend not being the sort of image that an Australian captain would want to be presenting (and by inference, ditch her or forget being the next captain).

Things you can do to pass the time on that long drive

Posted on by

We all know people who do various things to occupy themselves while they’re driving somewhere, for instance, talking on the phone, texting, fiddling with the radio/CD/MP3 player, eating, drinking, fixing up the makeup, etc etc.  Whatever, it helps pass the time, and helps them get ready for wherever it is they’re going.

What about trimming your pubes?  Ever thought of that as something you could do while driving?

Megan Barnes, a 37 year old Florida woman, obviously thought it was something she needed to take care of while driving along.  It was obviously distracting, as she ran up the back of another car while doing it.

Not only that, she was doing this while in the car with her ex-husband on her way to visit her boyfriend (somehow I think there’s got to be trailer parks involved here).    Apparently the ex was steering the car, from the passenger seat, while she was doing her gardening.

Patrol officers say they determined that in addition to this bit of "landscaping" behind the wheel, Barnes was already driving with a suspended license, just one day after she was convicted of driving under the influence.  She was charged with reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, and driving without insurance. Trooper Gary Dunick, describing what Ms. Barnes was thinking, explained,

"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit."

Oh my god! My eyes, my eyes ….. there’s vaginas on the TV

And no, its not because I was watching porn.

An episode of the ABC TV show “Hungry Beast” generated a bit of controversy this week with a story about the (soft) porn industry’s airbrushing of female genitalia, which gave an unrealistic image of what was “normal”.   Soft porn magazine publishers claimed they were forced to airbrush pictures due to classification rules which deemed explicit depictions of female genitalia to be inappropriate.  So all they tend to show in their pictures is a neat crease – nothing with any poking out or dangly bits.

It is claimed that this in turn influences women who are concerned that their vagina is not “normal”, and the increase in the number of women having plastic surgery on their genitals is largely due to this – labiaplasty is a growth business for cosmetic surgeons, apparently.  Personally I think you’d have to be incredibly vain, insecure or have too much money and time on your hands to want to get this done – no doubt it goes with another useless procedure, anal bleaching.

The show attracted some complaints, although not large numbers.  This could be a product of Australian TV viewers being less prudish than our American counterparts, or maybe simply that hardly anyone actually watches the show.  It could also be that there was plenty of warning before they showed the story.

“Certainly, it contained strong scenes. However, viewers were given clear warnings about the content – one before the show began, and one before the actual segment – and so had ample opportunity to avoid the segment if they felt it might make them uncomfortable.”

said an ABC spokesperson.

Now, I know a lot of my readers come here in search of pussy – so click on the “Hungry Beast” link above for today’s treat.  Don’t say I don’t deliver to my readers.

Now, for something a bit different, but related in a roundabout way, and to highlight the prudishness of Americans in particular, check this out.

A woman in New Jersey made a snow figure based on the famous Venus de Milo statue which is kept at the Louvre in Paris.  However the nude rendition of a female torso, including (shock! horror! oh my god the children might see it!) boobs, was too much for someone.  Said the lady who made the snowman:

"We had a visit from the local police who told us that a neighbour had complained about the statue and we needed to cover it up or knock it down,"

"We didn’t want to have any problem with the police so we covered it up."

Hence, what you see above.
