Obama at Kennedy Funeral.

President Obama is at the Ted Kennedy Funeral.
I can’t help but wonder if this is the first time he has gone to church since taking office.

Ashley Greene Scandal Pics

The Twilight Starlet supposedly had some naughty photos leaked. Perez Hilton had them up on his site, but her attorneys requested that he remove them. I have to admit that I have never known much about the show, but Ashley is pretty dang good looking. I have known Rathbone for quite some time, in fact that’s the only reason I am even aware of the show at all.

Of course, I am still not going to watch the show. I don’t like silly crap.

Beer Summit Truth

The Death of Logic.

A 14 year old girl was arrested for posting nude pictures of herself on MySpace. Keep in mind that these pictures are available for all of her friends to see. Here’s the crazy part. If she is convicted, she will have to be registered as a sex offender under “Megan’s Law”. 

This is exactly what I was talking about when I addressed the distressed mother calling for more laws. She was so upset about her daughters suicide after ridicule resulting from nude photos surfacing, that she is calling for more legal protection. I hope that mother learns her lesson. I hope she stops blaming everyone else, and starts to be a little introspective. I am sure that the her daughter (who was 18 by the way) wouldn’t have wanted her devastation to be only compounded by conviction. It’s insane, and I am tired of these news stories which serve only to scare stay-at-home white middle class moms. Old Fuddy Duddy news stories for those that are to naive.

BlackBerry Shuffle

Get our your lexicon books, your gonna need to enter a new word. Blackberry Shuffle. If you have one, you know what I am talking about. Showing someone a message on your crackberry the old fashioned way; handing it to them.

Other than that, this video is pretty pointless.

WTF? Stamp

Who doesn’t need one of these?

Sexting is BS.

Have you heard about this family campaigning against “sexting”. It’s about one of the most asinine news stories of 2009. The family was motivated after their daughter commited suicide because of ridicule she faced from having sent out nude photographs on her phone. 

I will say now, that this is a tragedy. I feel for the mother and father, and wish they did not have to deal with terrible loss. 

Now on to the absurd.

After her daughter had been called a slut and a whore, etc., the mother said she was just “devastated by these parents that allow their children to do and say anything they want”. This is coming from a mother whose daughter sent nude photos of herself to a short term boyfriend. A critical factor here is that her daughter was 18 years old. She was legally an adult. So now the parents want some sort of laws in place? What kind of laws? How will they be enforced? Would their daughter have been the person to violate such a law. Certainly the liability lies with the person who sends, and not the one who simply receives. 

But I digress. So in lieu of lawmaking they’ll probably start a few non-profits, and give talks at High Shools nationwide about the dangers of “sexting”. DANGERS of SEXTING, give me a break. Everything is dangerous then; kissing, screwing, getting caught cheating. EVERYTHING. Teen hoopla will never end. 

They will call this “sexting” a national epidemic, and wait for their Barbara Walters interview. It is not an epidemic. That is bullshit. I am not very far removed from the young community, and I know it is not a epidemic. What is an epidemic is you not teaching your daughter some self respecting and the high degree probability that she is a slut. 

This is what I would call BMM. That’s a bored mom magnet. The media picks up on a story of a pretty white girl tragically dying. It conveniently has a titilating word in the title: “sexting”. So the story runs and all the bored white, middle class, moms feel threatened by the “epidemic”. After all, they saw it on Good Morning America. 

Here are some general rules of thumb:

• If your daughter is under 18 and has MySpace she is probably a whore. 
• If she only has facebook you are probably doing ok.
• The boys these days don’t expect nude photo’s by cell phone, that’s just your daughter being a whore.
• When your daughter is a whore, don’t go around blaming everyone else.
