Denise Richards Regrets Her Breast Implants Because of Daughter, I Regret her having a Daughter



Denise Richards wishes she hadn't had breast implants to go from flat to a D-cup as a teenager. In her latest iVillage essay, she worries that she's sending a bad message to her three daughters about beauty and confidence. "I'm in a business where looks and weight do matter," she writes. "My girls see me at work or getting ready for photo shoots and I'm sure at times it can be a confusing message to them when I'm being primped, dressed and fussed over." In the essay, Richards says having daughters has made her regretful of her breast implants. "At 19 when I first got my breasts done, I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery," she writes. "That is something that I really want to encourage in my daughters, to embrace their healthy body and have confidence."

Oh, Denise, Denise, Denise, of all my regrets, you having a child ranks pretty highly up there...Don't get me wrong, I'm sure your kids are great, mommy's little angels, blah, blah, blah... It's just that you were it for me growing up...You know what I'm talking about.

1998, Wild Things, I'm shivering just thinking about it now...I dropped whatever I was doing countless times whenever I saw Wild Things was on one of the HBO's, just pure sex appeal,  you might have single handedly been responsible for my voice changing over from awkwardly high pitched boy to teenage man-boy. I mean, screw Britney, you introduced me to the sexy school girl outfit, and you dominated that it.

So you can understand why it pains me to hear you lamenting those god given gifts of yours (so what if they're not natural, god still gave us the resources). Embrace those gifts Denise, know that you ushered an entire legion of boys into manhood when you went all scissor fest with Neve Campbell. Those things made you an absolute legend and in no way should you be lamenting them.

Ohio University Protesting Halloween Costumes Mocking Foreign Cultures...Bunch of Nancy's



(CNN) -- Thinking about donning a kimono to dress like a geisha for Halloween, or a Mexican mariachi suit? Students from Ohio University have a message for you: "We're a culture, not a costume." With ethnic and racial stereotypes becoming increasingly popular Halloween costume themes, members of the school's Students Teaching About Racism in Society are launching a campaign to make revelers think twice before reducing a culture to a caricature, the group's president said.

Ohio University? Like the number one party school in the country? Wow, that ranking was horseshit, huh? Because I'm almost positive a big time party school would not have a problem with a kid dressing up as a cartoon like mexican wearing a drug rug and riding a mule. It's funny. It means no harm, it carries no previous racist undertones (where as black face does and I agree anyone who goes black face is kind of a dick), just an amusing stereotypical caricature. 

Go ahead, dress as a white trash person, dress as a doofus hipster, dress like George W. Bush, we couldn't care less, honestly.  Dress as a bucktooth hick from Maine with a fake shot gun and rack attached to a bicycle, carrying around a fake dead rabbit that you're presumably going to eat for dinner, and talking about bonking his cousin all night, I'll laugh my ass off. Seriously, I will. 

And what's with protesting dressing like a Geisha? Geisha's are basically wearing costumes themselves. Loads of powdery make up, that funny hair bun, an over the top kimono, they're playing dress up themselves!

It's Halloween guys, I find it hard to find the racist undertones to anyone wearing a costume in the theme of a foreign culture. Simple solution? Don't go to the Halloween party if you feel offended...If there are enough like minded people like you, the party will suck, it'll just be a Mexican and his Burro, a Geisha girl, Chief Wapanoo, and an Arab (ok, maybe the arab with the TNT is a bit over the line, but that's just one prick in the crowd, I'm sure he got over the line comments all night long)...Which makes a good lead for several jokes, but for a party sucks, I mean, how would they even communicate.

Huge News for Senior Citizens Everywhere, You Can Now Fight Herpes and Alzheimers All At Once

Probably no one benefiting more from this news than Hef


Fox News - Antiviral drugs used to combat herpes virus infections could slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests. The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), which causes most cold sores, has previously been tied to the development of Alzheimer's disease. In the study, cells infected with HSV1 showed a buildup of the proteins known to damage the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Treating the cells with the antiviral drug acyclovir significantly reduced the accumulation of these proteins.

 I have to imagine that for an old, senile, STD ridden person, this is just about the happiest news you can get, maybe the happiest news in decades.

Nursing homes are just going to turn into straight up brothels for the elderly, just octonagarians as far as the eyes can see swapping fluids carelessly, getting their fuck on, and then sharing stories with their bros and girlfriends because for the first time in years they'll be able to remember their hookup and tell the story to their friends. 

A true golden age for the golden gals.

MBTA, Unable To Properly Run A Business, Looking to Further Tax Drivers and Local Businesses...Real Nice.



BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A new proposal is calling for a regional payroll tax and a tax on miles motorists drive to help pay for the MBTA. The MassINC report finds the MBTA's current reliance on the state sales and gas taxes are just not enough to keep the aging system going. State and local transportation leaders are meeting Wednesday to discuss the T's troubled finances. "This uneven balance has eroded support for regional investment at a time when these areas need it the most," said Benjamin Forman, MassINC Research Director. "Investment patterns around the country show that regions are advancing public transportation infrastructure projects as catalysts for private development and overall economic growth, yet in Massachusetts those much-needed investments are being stalled or abandoned because their revenue foundation is not working as it should," he said.

Interesting, interesting. Decent proposal, but have you considered, NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL! 

Are you guys freaking kidding me? So instead of cutting expense and raising the rates for the actual users of the MTBA, you'd rather further subsidize your system by taxing everyone else? No way, nah-uh. Do the 99% know about this? Because this is the shit they should be protesting...I may have to get down there tomorrow and start my own fringe movement if they're not on top of this.

As a driver I paid sales tax on my auto and continue to pay gas tax every time I fill up to help support this poorly run system that I hardly ever use. I refuse to pay more...I also pay tolls and a yearly excise tax for the priveledge of using the state's infrastructure, roads, bridges, tunnels, etc...Maybe a yearly ridership tax on the T? Maybe charge all riders, even the ones who hop on the bus or get on the Green Line at one of the above ground stops.

And on top of that, payroll taxes on businesses? When the rest of the country is clammoring for a reduction in payroll taxes? Again, are you freaking kidding me? Unemployment is at an all time high, businesses just flat out aren't hiring, and your solution is to penalize them further for putting someone to work? Talk about out of touch. That's perhaps the worst bureaucratic idea I've heard this year. The worst

Or maybe, just maybe, you get the government hackery under control, stop the appointment of any new directors or board members as a "thanks" from friends in political office and undertake the process of trimming the fat via bloated pensions. 

If you can't figure out how to run this efficiently as a business by providing a service and charging your customers an appropriate amount for that service, then you don't deserve to be running the system. Plain and simple. Sell the MBTA. Let some private company come in here, cut waste, increase efficiency (for instance when a driver is caught red handed under performing on the job or blatantly putting the lives of its riders in danger, a private company would fire that employee, not spend months debating the merits of their employment). If all else fails, sell it. Let it be a private system. Sell it for .50 cents on the dollar and be done with it. Because I do not want to support this incredibly poorly run, failing system a day longer. Just cut the shit

Is This Crafting at Work Woman the Worst Employee Ever?



Wow, just wow. Safe to say this woman and I kill time at our cubicle jobs in completely different fashions...And I thought I was a dickhead co-worker, finding topics and tweeting my blog all day, turns out I'm a model employee. This woman easy had more craft material than work material in her cube.

So many questions. Why? Where is this office, and are they hiring? At what age did your affinity for crafting poor representations of dogs come to the surface? Have you ever been featured on one of those weird-o TLC shows? On average how many times a week do your interoffice craft-mails get sent back to you with a pissed off note?

Always boggles my mind that I'm so stressed and secretive about my slackings at work, making sure I get all my shit done, not really letting anyone in on my little side world, then you've got people who just may be certifiably insane slacking all the live long day and no one says anything to them, presumably because they're afraid they'll have a nervous break down.  

Like this one woman at my work, somehow fell into this cushy part time position, yet still spends 90% of the time on the phone with friends and family or traipsing around the building just chatting it up about anything from her kids latest sniffly nose to her and her girlfriends wildly inappropriate nights out. 

I just wish I could care that little about how I'm perceived. I really do. Ignorance really is bliss I guess.
