This is just disgusting! PETA wants Ben & Jerry's to stop getting their milk from cows and begin using human breast milk in their ice cream.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) says doing this would reduce the suffering of cows and give ice cream lovers a healthier product. (Reduce the suffering of cows???? Do they suffer when they’re milked???)
Does PETA think women are just going to hand over their breast milk for free? Just imagine an entire warehouse of women hooked up to breast pumps, sitting there for hours at a time. If that’s not cruel and (very) unusual punishment, I don’t know what is. And not only is that image disturbing, but would also prove to be pretty costly. Think about it PETA.
THANKFULLY the idea was not well received by Ben & Jerry's officials. "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child," spokesman Sean Greenwood.
I SECOND THAT NOTION! I would hate to have to give up my ice cream, but the second they mix it with human breast milk…..I am going cold turkey! NO WAY in the world am I consuming something that came out of another woman’s breast!

Let's bail out all American Citizens!
**********************************************************************************
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a "We Deserve It" Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults into $85 billion. That equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a "We Deserve It" Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free, so let's assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500..00 in taxes.
Of course, that sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means $ 297,500.00 for every adults! A husband and wife has $595,000.00!
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
- Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
- Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
- Put away money for college - it'll be there for the future
- Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
- Buy a new car - create jobs
- Invest in the market - capital drives growth
- Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
- Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it!!! If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

Anybody want to buy a virgin?
Having a hard time deciding what to give that special guy in your life? How about a virgin? They've got them up for bid at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada.
Actually, it's just one virgin. But she is up for bid! Meet 21 year old Natalie Dylan (not her real name). She's looks so shy, doesn't she? I remember I used to pose like this all the time when I was a virgin........NOT!
She has decided to put her virginity up for bid to the highest bidder. Yep, she is giving it up to someone she doesn't even know, just as long as they've got the money and meet her own specific requirements, which were not disclosed.
Ironically enough, Natalie Dylan will use the money to get her Master's Degree in Psychology so she can practice Family Psychology. At least the money will go to something worthwhile, right?
My question is, how do we know she's really a virgin? If I can peel the cobwebs in my memory back, and reach deep into my past, I think I can still remember being a virgin. And I'm going waaaaaayyyyy back here people, but if I remember correctly, I was pretty nervous giving it up to someone I knew and trusted. I can't imagine trusting someone I didn't even know to not hurt me during the process. Not to mention the emotion end of it.
If you'd like to find out more, just go to: http://www.bunnyranch.com/
After you do, come back and tell me if you're placing your bid!

Death By Smoking Ban
It's a sad fact. While banning smoking from public places does promote a healthier environment, it has also put many people in danger. Not just in American, but worldwide. You could call it "Death By Smoking Ban."
Smokers have really been portrayed as "the bad guys". And sadly, there are a select few out there that are just reinforcing that image by becoming violent.
In 2007, former British heavyweight boxing champion James Oyebola was shot in the neck in a London club after he asked a group of men to stop smoking. Smokers killed a man because they were asked to quit smoking.
In 2003 a New York bouncer was stabbed to death while trying to enforce the city wide ban at the club he worked in. Stabbed by smokers while trying to do his job.
And if you "google" this subject yourself, you'll find other examples of the violence I'm talking about. Of course, not all smokers are bad people. My husband is a smoker for goodness sake! What people seem to forget is that it is an addiction. The smokers out there are desperately addicted to the very thing that's slowly killing them. And some will even kill for the right to do it.

Insane cakes
Sometimes people with imagination and creativity get a little dangerous! Check out these cakes I found online. What kind of twisted mind came up with this stuff? I mean seriously, on what occasion is a "Kitty Litter Box" cake needed?
And I saved the best for last. COULD YOU EAT A PIECE OF THIS THING???? I don't think so!
