Thankfully, JC Penney took down this disturbing screen-printing choice down today after The Hairpin brought attention to it, but really, if you thought this was a good idea, maybe you shouldn't be designing clothes for girls. I hear they're hiring over where they make Malibu Stacy dolls, however.

There was a saying I used to hear that went something like "if you want to know what God thinks of money, look at who he gives it to". I don't know if that's exactly true, but then you hear that designer diapers aren't just an item thrown on the shelves as a lark, but a product that people are actually spending money on.

A note to anyone buying designer diapers: you're spending extra money on something uses to contain feces that will be thrown away sooner rather than later. Please stop. Seriously. Stop it.

As someone who spends an obscene amount of time on the internet, I've seen plenty of videos of young people dancing in their living rooms while lip-syncing to pop songs, so that aspect of this video isn't all that unusual, but if someone can explain the fat baby on the couch and why these girls end up kicking him, I'd feel a lot better about life in general.

I understand that someone must be Googling "what to ask before penis surgery", so it's possible CNN is doing the online world of information a favor with the article "5 questions to ask before having penis surgery", but I think the post brings up as many questions as it answers.

1. Who are these "tens of thousands of men" getting circumcised as adults?
2. Do we really have to suggest to people having penis surgery that they "clean up before"?
3. Can I just spend all five questions on the first one CNN mentions, "Do I really need this procedure?" and then follow up with "Seriously, do I really need this procedure?"
4. If this whole "penis surgery" thing is really necessary, they knock you out for that sort of thing and then erase the entire experience from your brain with one of those devices from Men in Black, right?

Life is confusing enough, CNN. This isn't helping.

I don't have to try to sell people houses in the midst of this terrible real estate market, so maybe I don't quite understand the marketing that goes into the realtor game, but I'm not sure I would factor whether or not my agent has a YouTube video of them talking in the car into my decision making process. That, however, doesn't seem to stop real estate agents from making these videos, and now someone with a strange obsession to collect them on one Tumblr site.

Listen, I understand that people are terrible drivers. We seem to be surrounded by them, even if somehow we're the one person who understands the rules of the road at any given time. As my son will remind nearly anyone he talks to (sigh), I'm not above giving someone the finger, but next time, I'll take a deep breath, try to calm down, and not flip my car while "flipping the bird":

A woman caused an accident SR 512 on Monday when she lost control of her vehicle as she was giving another driver “the bird,” the Washington State Patrol said.

The 23-year-old woman, driving a 2004 Taurus, was traveling eastbound next to a Subaru Outback, the State Patrol said.

She wanted to get over to the right lane, but it was occupied so she flipped off the driver of the Outback. As she was doing so she lost control of her vehicle and hit the back end of the Outback, causing it to run off the road and roll over. She ended up in a ditch further down the roadway.

Gov. Jan Brewer is such a rebel! She's over on her Facebook page sticking it the man - well, Facebook at least - for taking down the picture she posted depicting her as Rosie the Riveter in some sort of theatrical protest to President Obama's plan to let some illegal immigrants stay in the country.

My first thought is STOP PLAYING ON FACEBOOK AND DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE STATE CRAZY! My second thought is that I should probably leave this sort of criticism up to Jim Nintzel, who does a much better job of it.

That is all.

One woman's attempt to steal some bacon to buy more lager gets her in The Sun and an unfortunate title:

A SHOPLIFTING mum downs up to 28 pints of lager in a single day, a court heard.

Dawn Marsden, 31, drinks so much she should be dead, experts said.

She was wrecked as she appeared on a theft charge and had to ask reporters later what her sentence was.

Jobless Marsden spends all day drinking cheap lager at home in Hartlepool, Teesside, and steals to fund her habit. The charge related to ten packs of bacon stolen from a Co-op and sold for £1 each.

Her solicitor John Relton told the town's magistrates: "You may have noticed my client has a drink problem. She will drink up to 16 litres a day. She has a long-standing appetite for alcohol."

Her two-year-old daughter was taken into foster care because of her boozing, the court heard. Marsden, who has a string of previous convictions for theft, admitted the new charge and was handed a six-month conditional discharge.

She then turned to a reporter to check the sentence, before branding it a "sham" and walking out.

Watch out, this could end up being a reality competition shortly. A sad one, with a lot of vomiting, but that hasn't stopped TV networks before.

Somebody littered in my driveway!
  • Somebody littered in my driveway!

A note to the publishers of the Yellowbook phone directory. Chucking things in people's yards without their permission is called littering. Throwing this phone directory in my driveway is littering. Got it? Thank you.
