You Live in Paradise! Stop Looking!

The luxurious Peoples' Republic of Korea (North Korea) has now banned the usage of Korean words used in South Korea. They've also banned videotapes of South Korean soap operas, and other media. It's against the law to dress in the fashion of South Koreans. "You have nothing to eat? Stop whining, you live in a Workers' Paradise."

The street in Warsaw named after the recently deceased Pope, JP2, has an unseemly little shop on it. It was there before he became Pope? No, I don't think so.

All Three Down and One to Go

So, now it's all over for Terri, John Paul, and Ranier. But, that's not all! Hey, there's a new one coming on, and it's in Monaco too! It's Prince Ernest of Hannover this time. He appears to be the most fun of them all. He has a liking for strong drink, and is noted for his escapades. Long live Ernest of Hannover!

Whoa! We Got Nuthin' on the Chinese!

I thought we Texans sorta set the pace on executions, but according to the latest Amnesty International report, the Chinese make us look like a bunch of wimps. This is embarrassing!

The FDA has re-approved silicone breast implants after having banned them over 10 years ago. But, my question is: Is the photo on the bottom supposed to be an improvement? It looks like someone tied to overinflated balloons to that woman's chest. Puh-leez!

Hi Friends. If you like what you see, check out my more recent post.

I Know, This Is Wrong...

But, did something happen to Santa Claus? This guy is the Pope, for God's sake! Why dress him up like a dead Saint Nick?

Two Down, One to Go?

Okay, so we're down to the Prince, and that's not the artist formerly named that, who has since reverted to being Prince. Death Watch 2005 continues...

Yo, Neo-Con Luv

Yeah, here's a big shout out to my Mohomies, y'all. C'mon giv it up 4 da Neo-Con Luv. Yo, yo, y'all.

Terri, John Paul II, and Ranier

One and a half down, and one and a half to go. After that we can get back to the stuff that matters: Michael Jackson's Trial, Britney's non-pregnancy, Paris's cell phone, Ana Nicole Smith's tits, and much, much more.

What's So Bad About That?

Ten U.S. soldiers have been punished for mud wrestling at a military prison. I think that's a lot better that putting bags on naked prisoners' heads, and making them jack off. C'mon.

Man, He Gets Around!

The Reverend Jessie Jackson has been praying most anywhere there's a camera lately. He's starting to act like Billy Graham. He's been praying with Michael Jackson and offering him spiritual guidance. He's praying with Terri Schiavo's parents. Let's see, what's going to be the next big news story...will he be there too?

I Think They Call That Preventative Detention

Ruben Dario Ovejedo has been in prison for two years in Argentina convicted of killing Pedro Roldan in 2003. It was well known that the two men had had problems with each other, and that Ovejedo had threatened Mr. Roldan. A dead body turned up in the town of Tucuman where they both lived, and it was identified as Mr. Roldan. Only, it wasn't Mr. Roldan. He's still alive. Mr. Ovejedo's family recently found out, and made Mr. Roldan report to the justice authorities. So, what's this guy been doing all that time? And his family didn't know? Something's fishy here.

You Gotta Be Kidding!

The Bishop of Salisbury, David Stancliffe, says that Prince Charles must "repair his offences" with Camilla's ex-husband. He has to apologize to Andrew Parker Bowles before he can marry Camilla. Those Brits has some style don't they? Even though it doesn't show in the Royalty.

Not a Good Comparison

Michael Jackson says he's the victim of a conspiracy much like Nelson Mandela. Uh, Michael, now let's not get carried away. The only way your name and Nelson's belong in the same sentence is to show just how irrelevant you are. Not even a close comparison! What a schmuck.

Billy Idol or Is That Idle?

It happens to the best of us, and it happened to Billy Idol too. He started growing gray pubic hair. So, he took the bull by the horns (so to speak) and shaved them off! He must not have a lot to do lately. Hey, it's tough getting publicity when you're a no talent has-been.

At Least They're Not Having Sex

Studies from the Abstinence Clearinghouse show that teens who take the abstinence pledge not to have sex before marriage are more likely to try anal and oral sex than those who don't. Hmmm...what does that mean? That's kinda like saying you're a vegetarian, but that you eat chicken.

What Does That Say About Family?

De Telegraaf reports that pets are more loved (or at least loved as much) as family and friends by almost one third of pet owners. Surprising? Not really.

One in Three Americans Are Chronically Overworked

One third of all American's are overworked. That's sad to hear, but let me tell ya, I'm a member of the other 2/3. But, hey, it ain't easy!

A Product in Demand

A student in Brazil was arrested recently for selling drugs. Uh, Viagra that is. Yes, he was set up in business with 7000 boxes of the stuff. Seems a shipment was stolen last August. Did he keep any for personal use?

Ultima Cena

An idea whose time has come. Well, not to "Old Europe", but at least to my blog. Italy, France and Spain have banned its public display. Hey, y'all! We're the religious fanatics! Quit crowding us out.
