Today was all about tv. (We also pickled cucumbers but this story doesn't fit the topic. ;) ) It started with watching the promo for Here Comes Little Honey Boo Boo and then watching a whole episode on youtube.

The thing is, I couldn't believe my eyes. How could tv glorify this? I thought The Jersey Shore was as low as they get. I am still unsure ( Read more... )

Shocked and awed distraught at the news of Kim Kardashian's divorce announcement. After hearing about poor Hugh Heffner being abandoned at the altar, it seems that all the beautiful love stories in the world have a tragic ending this year... What can we, poor mortals, look up to anymore? We are left in pure desperation...

I've watched the royal wedding thing today at work. With my taste for celebrity gossip, of course I was interested in this huge exhibition of hats! I was amused by the Queen's lemon cake hat and disappointed Elton John didn't wear one. I found those flying feathers hats to be the scariest, much worse than the York girls hats:

I think this is the third post on this topic... I'm seldom making posts here, but this piece of news asked for a dedicated entry! The weird thing stuck in somebody's ass here is a 12 cm salami. The somebody is an old lady (73 y.o.) playing with her 74 y.o. lover. Unfortunately the salami play led to multiple colon lesions that got infected and the ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to make a post about the 23rd of August but I kept getting distracted. On the 23rd of August we used to celebrate the day the Romanians switched sides from the Axis to the Allies in the SWW. I don't want to comment the historical event, I just want to say that in my childhood (actually till I was 14) it used to be a great ( Read more... )

People stick the weirdest things in the ass! In this case, 2 hammer heads.

The man ate 1 kilo of cherries swallowing the pips too and in order to fight constipation, he inserted two hammer heads in his ass. Explanation? So they could break the pips. After the doctors removed the hammers, they also found a beer tap handle inserted in the same place ( Read more... )

Two interesting commercials on tv - both with the same idea: teenage daughter sneaking boy in the parents' house. In each of the cases, the boyfriend (or maybe just the stranger she brought in for a one night stand) is lured out of his hiding place in the morning by the aroma of the coffee the girl's father made or the offer made by the same father ( Read more... )

One week ago the Romanian Cultural Institute organized an exposition of contemporary Romanian art in New York. An insignificant Romanian magazine/leaflet from New York was there and noticed with maximum indignation that the exhibition was Nazi, anti-semite and even called the police to investigate. What were the means of Nazi propaganda?

A little ( Read more... )

Among numerous other political scandals, these days there's a debate over a new law the Romanian Deputy Chamber has already approved. The law stipulates that the TV channels and mass media in general should present an equal proportion of good news and bad news. Of course, it's hilarious. First of all, let's try to define 'good news'. Somebody had a ( Read more... )

Carla Bruni is all over the news. I think she upstaged the Iraq mess war by far. Kosovo? What's that? Because, OMG, she distracted the British PM. The media is in a rush to compare her to Princess Diana, Jackie Kennedy, Grace de Monaco and so on. Hello! She's just a pretty distraction! The world won't be changed by what she wears at an official ( Read more... )
