the men who used the extramarital-dating site, including which <a data-rapid_p="27" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ashley-madison-data-chart-of-cheaters-2015-8" target="_blank">cities</a>, <a data-rapid_p="28" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ashley-madison-leak-reveals-which-states-like-to-cheat-the-most-2015-8" target="_blank">states</a>, and <a data-rapid_p="29" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/top-american-universities-with-the-most-cheaters-according-to-ashley-madison-2015-8" target="_blank">universities</a> they're from.

<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1907">
But what about the women?</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1889">
It turns out, there may not have been very many women. As in, almost none.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1932">
Gizmodo editor-in-chief <a data-rapid_p="30" href="http://gizmodo.com/almost-none-of-the-women-in-the-ashley-madison-database-1725558944" id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1931" target="_blank">Annalee Newitz analyzed the data</a>
from the site's user database and found a lot of suspicious stuff
suggesting that nearly all the female accounts were fake, maintained by
the company's employees.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1935">
First, the official numbers. The
info that the hackers published contained about 31 million accounts
apparently belonging to men, and about 5 million apparently belonging to
women.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1937">
But when Newitz dug deeper, she
found a bunch of test accounts that ended with ashleymadison.com,
suggesting that they were created internally (90% of them were for
women), as well as 350 female accounts for people with the same and very
unusual last name.</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1939">
Then she found three really damning pieces of data:</div>
<ul id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1942">
<li id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1941">Only
1,492 of the women in the database had ever opened their inbox to check
their messages on the site. That's compared with more than 20 million
men.</li>
<li id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1944">Only 2,409 of the women had ever used the site's chat function, versus more than 11 million men.</li>
<li id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1946">Only 9,700 of the women had
ever responded to a message from another person on the site, versus
almost 6 million men. (This number was greater than the number of women
who checked messages because it's possible to answer messages in bulk
when you first visit the site, without ever opening your inbox.)</li>
</ul>
It's possible that most of the women signed up but never did anything.<br />
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1948">
Either way, Newitz writes,
Ashley Madison is a site where tens of millions of men write mail, chat,
and spend money for women who aren't there."</div>
<div id="yui_3_18_1_1_1440703514475_1950">
The site's parent company, Avid Life Media, did not immediately return a request for comment.</div>

Colbert said on Thursday’s “Colbert Report” that he couldn’t agree more.</div>

Food safety is a top priority at all BURGER KING® restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question. The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KING® franchisee.

A new business catering to fisherman in the Town of Orange may end up having to close its doors. There's nothing wrong with their product, it's the silly name: the Orange County Master Bait Shop.</div>
<div orgfontsize="12px" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The shop was open for just 2 weeks and was the only bait shop in Orange when the complaint was made.</div>

Owner Michael Declue has heard the complaints, but says he chose the name to be memorable. He also claims regardless of whatever innuendo people are suggesting, he's not changing it.</div>
<div orgfontsize="12px" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"People are taking the master and also the bait shop and combining them together into a word that's not actually spelled on our business name," said Declue.</div>

In retaliation, Declue says someone unplugged his cooler full of live bait, and others have complained about it to town council. The topic came up at Monday night's meeting.</div>

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A northern Indiana man has pleaded guilty to several charges after driving three blocks with four children strapped to his car’s hood while he was intoxicated.</div>

Twenty-nine-year-old Aaron Stefanski of Fort Wayne accepted a plea agreement with prosecutors Monday. Stefanski was arrested in May after someone called 911 saying he saw Stefanski use a tow strap to secure the children to the car’s hood and drive away.</div>

Early Saturday afternoon, Eiliya Maida had just finished using a propane-powered blowtorch to set fire to the cobwebs in the backyard of his home in Chico, Calif., <a href="http://www.chicoer.com/ci_21031067/man-sets-house-ablaze-while-killing-spiders-blowtorch?source=rss_viewed" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #ed7d00; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">the<em style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-style: italic !important; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Chico Enterprise Record</em> reports.</a></div>

All was well, until his brother-in-law noticed smoke coming from the attic.</div>

Maida had inadvertently ignited nearby weeds as he was setting the webs on fire, Fire Division Chief Keith Carter told the Huffington Post. The fire spread to household equipment on the lawn before traveling up the outside wall and into the attic.</div>

Firefighters were able to quell the flames in around 5 to 10 minutes, and they also did not take long to figure out how the blaze had started.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 15px/21px Georgia, Century, Times, serif; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"It was pretty evident," Carter said, because they saw a 5-gallon propane tank with a nozzle lying in the yard.</div>

When firefighters questioned Maida, he quickly admitted what had happened.</div>

Though the fire did about $25,000 worth of damage, the home was not lost. Only the attic suffered serious damage, according to Carter. However, fried electrical wiring has forced the family to move out, at least temporarily.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 15px/21px Georgia, Century, Times, serif; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Carter said he had not heard of anyone using a blowtorch to clear spiderwebs before. However, he pointed out, many people do use blowtorches to burn up weeds and other unwanted plants.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 15px/21px Georgia, Century, Times, serif; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
This practice can be dangerous during the heat of summer, the fire chief warns. In Maida's case, the combination of high winds and 100-degree heat on Saturday created particularly hazardous conditions.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font: normal normal normal 15px/21px Georgia, Century, Times, serif; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Carter does not recommend that anyone use a blowtorch to clear either weeds or cobwebs during the summer. It's "one of those common sense" things, he said.</div>

Responding to a report that a fisherman had reeled in a piranha on June 7, lake superintendent Jim Caldwell brought the fish to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, where it was identified as a pacu. Some reports say another pacu was seen a couple of weeks later.</div>

Caldwell said he is still swimming in the lake nearly every day. Pacus primarily eat nuts, aquatic vegetation and snails, he told KDSK, and pose no real threat to humans.</div>

Residents of Papua New Guinea may beg to differ. There, according to British fisherman Jeremy Wade, the pacu is known as the "ball cutter." In 2011, Wade said locals informed him that two fisherman had died from blood loss after something in the water had bitten off their testicles, <a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/886011-testicle-eating-fish-that-killed-two-men-caught-by-british-angler" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #ed7d00; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">according to the <em style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-style: italic !important; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Metro</em></a>.</div>

Wayne Brady: 'I'll Gladly Slap The Sh*t Out Of Bill Maher' Over Obama Remark

Wayne Brady's known for being the nice guy on TV shows like
"Let's Make A Deal" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway," but he showed a
decidedly different side when speaking to Aisha Tyler on her podcast,
"Girl on Guy." </div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
In the interview, Brady takes issue with fellow comedian
Bill Maher for repeatedly referring to President Obama as "your Wayne
Brady," then slams Maher for his reputed preference in black women. <br />
<br />
"That means it's a diss to Obama to be called me because he wants a brother brother," Brady said. <br />
"Just because you f*ck black hookers, just because you had that
particular black experience… I have to stop myself to getting into it
because I realize the thing is if I had gone on his show, or even doing
it online, I'm not going to win. Because as soon as you back off, he
still has his platform to say whatever he wants to."<br />
<br />
But Brady didn't stop there, alas. The 40-year-old Brady continued to
deride the comedian for his remark, saying if Maher wanted to "know how
black Wayne Brady is," he would "gladly slap the shit out of Bill Maher
in front of Coco and Ebony and Fox, the three ladies of the night he
has hired."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17568667895217998849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226304448582452654.post-89960984269857814902012-07-07T16:27:00.003-07:002012-07-07T16:27:36.035-07:00<br />

A designer dress that also satisfies our sweet tooth? Yes, please. This latest Alexander McQueen-inspired gown combines two of our very favorite things: fashion and candy. Made out of 50,000 gummy bears, the rainbow dress was handmade for <a href="http://www.twelvmag.com/?lc=sh1442" rel="nofollow" style="color: #990033; text-decoration: none;" title=""><b style="font-weight: bold;">TWELV Magazine's</b></a> debut issue and weighs in at a hefty 220 pounds. It takes three people just to move the thing, so this is clearly not a dress you can go out dancing in.</div>

How exactly is a gummy bear dress made? First, steel wire is twisted to create the shape of the dress, then the mold is covered with a sheet of vinyl, and finally each gummy bear is painstakingly glued on in a chevron rainbow pattern. No surprise it took three weeks to finish this elaborate gown.</div>

We're guessing it would take a lot of will power to wear this dress and not snack on it. After all, there are <i style="font-style: italic;">50,000</i> gummy bears to choose from. Who's going to notice one or two missing? </div>

Being offended is a bit of a national pastime. We live in a world in which we're told that everyone is entitled to their opinion, you're cool as long as no one is getting hurt and everyone can be right no matter what. Until two people have different opinions, and then it becomes a battle of who is more right. And while we should be offended about elected officials abusing our trust, CEOs of massive corporations stealing money, the destruction of our environment for profit and a million other abuses that affect us all on a greater or lesser scale, some people seem to want to put a lot of effort into getting thoroughly pissed over the smallest, most insignificant things that really have no effect on them at all.</div>

Offensive team names are as old as offensive people forming teams. It's all fine and good if you want to play field hockey and call your team the Surly Marmots if that moves you. But maybe the guys from the next town over want to call themselves the Flaming Fecalphiliacs, and suddenly everyone has a bug up their ass, even if they've never gone to a field hockey game before and have no plan on seeing one.</div>

All professional sports have enjoyed some degree of team name controversy. Any team you can think of even remotely inspired by Native Americans has been deemed offensive at some point -- the Redskins, the Indians, the Braves, and so on. Kennesaw State University in Georgia used to have an owl named Hooter as a mascot <a href="http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1120&context=sportslaw" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">until some boobs got offended by it</a> and his name was changed to Scrappy. A high school in Utah had to change their mascot from a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/20/cougar-mascot-vetoed-for-_n_1218779.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003%22" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">cougar</a> because someone decided it's now offensive, since saucy old tarts like to call themselves cougars.</div>

London, Ontario's Frontier League baseball team went so far as to call themselves the Rippers and are at risk of the city not renewing their contract to play in town because their mascot is a cartoon depiction of Jack the Ripper, who, you may recall, was a killer, in another country, over 100 years ago, and was never caught, so we don't even technically know what he looked like. But the cartoon version of him playing baseball is awful and worthy of protest. In fact, it garnered so much attention and so many people were offended that <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/11/17/london_rippers_seek_to_raise_awareness_about_violence_against_women" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Rush Limbaugh</a> actually took the time to voice support for the team.

The London Rippers are averaging about 1,000 attendees per game in their hometown, which seems to indicate that people really are offended by the team name, if you don't include the fact that London's previous teams -- the Monarchs, the Werewolves and the Tigers -- <a href="http://www.am980.ca/channels/news/local/story.aspx?ID=1721496&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">all averaged less than 2,000 fans per game</a> and all ended up folding thanks to low attendance.

Does that shit not look delicious? Oreos normally aren't my thing, they're fine and all, but I'm not crazy about them. But man, if you gave me rainbow-colored icing in the middle of a chocolate cookie, I would be on that shit like a drunken hobo on a Lysol-infused rag. But everyone does not share this opinion.</div>

Oreo's ad, meant to show Kraft's support of gay rights and the pride movement (it's not even a real goddamn cookie), has been met with actual protest. Not out in the streets protest, because the people who protest cookies generally need a hand getting off the couch, but protest nonetheless.</div>

Of course, many are supportive of Kraft and Oreo's ad and position, and at worst a large portion of people are indifferent. But make no mistake, when idiots feel they have been affronted, once they master the language skills necessary to raise a stink, <a href="http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2012/06/26/Oreo-rainbow-picture-sparks-protest/UPI-49541340766707/%20%E2%80%9Ctarget=" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">they will absolutely do so</a>.</div>

Arguably, this is indicative of the larger debate about gay rights, which in itself is kind of stupid, but in this microcosmic way it really shows just how far some people will go to unwittingly be complete ass-brained chucklefucks. To even form the thought that you might want to protest a cookie, let alone speak the words, is something future peoples may read about and laugh at the way we mock people who used to take tapeworms to lose weight, because obviously those people had been hit on the head many, many times. And maybe they ate some lead paint chips.</div>

Protesting Oreo proves literally nothing. In fact, less than nothing. What you're trying to prove has turned around a complete 180 and is now proving something completely different -- that you probably have to stop every 10th word or so to take a breath to avoid passing out when you speak. How does Kraft management's support of a social issue that obviously doesn't even pertain to your particular lifestyle reflect on their product? Is there gay in the cookie? Do the boxes play George Michael tunes when you open them? No? Then shut up and eat your cookies.</div>

Often in my writing, I like to take a bit of an ignorant blowhard viewpoint on things and complicate the issue by being liberal 80 percent of the time, then ridiculously conservative in a way that's inconsistent the rest of the time, because that makes me laugh.

If you Google "hate vegans," you'll get over 1 million results. This alone is offensive, simply because if you Google me, you get way less, and half of those are pages Gladstone started. A lot of the results are kind of jokey in the way you, too, perhaps in your younger days, would half jokingly tell your one vegan friend in high school about how delicious meat is and why they're being ridiculous. Lots of people do that, because we're still in a curious carnivore renaissance where bacon is somehow funny and things like Epic Meal Time offer a curious representation of both manhood and a criticism of the super healthy push that Western society really started in on a decade or so back. We feel that veganism is the new hipster trend (it isn't, but that's how some people view it), and we're being even more awesomely cool by rejecting it and embracing beef like the dirty cow lovers we all are.</div>

I would punch a toddler right the hell out for a delicious burger if he got all uppity and thought to deny me that meat, but I also would require a team of MIT-trained researchers and maybe a robot designed by NASA to help me devise a way to give a shit if you want to grill up a portobello mushroom and call it a hamburger.</div>

And yet there is a lot of genuine anti-vegan hatred on the Internet. Some people really want to slap that beet away from your mouth. Some of the hatred is directed not at the practice itself, but at what is perceived as a self-righteous attitude that vegans may have, that they have to tell you they're vegan and condemn you for eating meat. And sure, anyone who judges you for eating a ham sandwich can go fuck themselves with a tube sock full of jacks, but does every vegan do that? And is that because they're a vegan, or just because they're an asshole? Assholes, you'll find, are omnivorous. Also, Omnivorous Asshole would be a fine name for either a band or a porn site.</div>

Notice that most of this illiterati's beef with vegans (ha, meat joke! Fuck, I'm writing that down) come from vegans just espousing their beliefs. Kind of like this guy does, but in reverse. And then he tosses in complete horseshit like #5 about how vegans are evil. As much of a facetious point as that seems to be, I've heard it before. Hitler was a vegetarian, y'know? Yeah, well Jeffery Dahmer wasn't. Pass me some cornbread.</div>

If you don't like vegetables, that's great. It's kind of lame and childish, you should eat some vegetables, you overgrown baby, but whatever, it's your thing. If you don't like assholes who push their beliefs on you, that's fine as well, because all of those people deserve crotch rashes. But not liking someone who chooses to not eat meat, just because they choose to not eat meat, is like hating someone for choosing to not watch HBO. Is that weird? Of course it's weird, HBO is awesome. But where did you get the time to worry about it at all? Does it change your life in any way? No. No sir.</div>

This is not about Obamacare exactly, it's about not being dead. Obamacare is one example of many health care initiatives countries all around the world employ as part of what those nations offer their citizens by way of security and protection. Health care is a thing that protects you from dying. But holy shit do some people really want to see some death.</div>

Do you not want to pay extra taxes or insurance rates? Fine. Do you already have health coverage? Awesome. But at the end of the day, there are kids with leukemia, parents with Parkinson's and superheroes with <a href="http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-ridiculous-things-that-show-up-in-art-every-comic/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Only One Thigh Sclerosis</a> who maybe can't afford to go to a hospital. Or they go and their insurance says "Sorry, annual cap," or maybe lifetime cap, if it's an untreatable condition. Or God forbid a pre-existing condition that will then limit them from coverage at all. Health care in America sucks, it really does. Don't feel bad about that, it's like saying <i>John from Cincinnati</i> was a crappy HBO show. HBO is still good, it just had shit on it. It happens.</div>

Despite the fact that access to health care stops people from dying and/or living with festering head wounds and the like, the big critique is how awful and socialist such a thing is. People have even said that they're going to leave the country because of it and move to someplace like Canada. The people who say this are dumb as damp burlap sacks full of shit, mind you, but <a href="http://www.theprovince.com/news/Decision+further+socialize+health+care+Americans+threatening/6855611/story.html" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">they're saying it</a> enough that the media is covering it.</div>

Libertarian-leaning people don't like the government stepping in and giving them insurance because they like to be difficult. That's really the gist of it, and you can try to argue differently, but come on. No one can say, with a straight face, that if they have a heart attack they'll be pissed off that the government forced an insurance on them that helped them survive that heart attack. Damn, I'm alive! Now I can get revenge!</div>

Are there good arguments against a health care mandate on paper? Sure. You can argue points of contract law and precedent, but is any of that any more than sour grapes? It's not like the government wants you to wear genie pants all day, they want to let people go to the damn doctor. All other arguments against it are smokescreens that cover two arguments -- it costs too much and it's a filthy socialist initiative.</div>

Every other developed nation has universal health care. Every one. Because the government and the people they represent see the benefit of not having streets full of lepers. The cost is not unbearable and, in fact, repealing the act would increase the deficit by billions. <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2012/06/why-romney-wont-repeal-obamacare.html" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #145e9d; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Hundreds of billions</a>.</div>

So there is no cost argument. It comes down to people not liking the fact that this is perceived as socialist and, in principle, that must be bad. No matter how much good it does, the word sounds bad. If we replaced the word "socialist" with "Robot Rainbow Fucksplosion" and had to listen to Fox News pundits tell us that Obamacare is a Robot Rainbow Fucksplosion policy that means insurance companies have to treat us with basic human dignity, we'd all be in the streets with signs demanding more of it.</div>

The unidentified woman was using the restroom in the Monticello store earlier this month when she found that she was glued to the seat, <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-06-21/news/32356246_1_toilet-seat-sticky-situation-glue" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #ed7d00; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">the New York Daily News reported.</a></div>

Paramedics were called to the scene of the grime after someone heard the woman screaming from the toilet stall. They needed an hour to remove her from the toilet -- with the toilet seat still attached to her buttocks, <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/2012/06/26/20120626woman-superglued-to-toilet-seat.html" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: #ed7d00; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">according to AzCentral.com.</a>The seat was removed from the lady's posterior in a hospital emergency room.</div>

When Justin Bieber made his appearance on<em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> The Late Show</em> Thursday night in support of his new release <em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Believe</em>, he probably didn't anticipate having a skirmish with David Letterman over a <em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">tattoo</em>, of all things.<span class="yom-figure yom-fig-right" style="clear: both; display: block; float: right; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 6px; width: 190px;"><a href="http://mit.zenfs.com/888/2012/06/biebletterman.jpg" style="color: #7752aa; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2239" height="285" src="http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/PflMZrXjRn6nSUQ2f9AwvQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTE5MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en/blogs/ymusic-stop-the-presses/biebletterman.jpg" style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block;" title="Justin Bieber" width="190" /></a><span class="legend" style="color: #414141; display: block; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Justin Bieber</span></span></div>

However, that's just what happened, when Letterman spotted Bieber's latest ink--the title of his new album--on the singer's forearm. Doing his best cranky dad voice, Letterman groaned, "Oh God, how many do you have?"</div>

That wasn't the last of the subject, however. Letterman wouldn't let off--asking first if Bieber's mother had a tattoo (no), and then if Dad had one.</div>

After Bieber confirmed his pops indeed does have ink, Letterman looked resigned and said, "Just don't go nuts...more and more you see, like, the mural. Like the Sistine Chapel."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"I'm not going for the 16th Chapel," Bieber reassured him, inadvertently messing up the name of the famously frescoed landmark.</div>

While the audience howled at Bieber's mistake, Letterman deadpanned, "Canadian high school." To which the Biebs responded with a steely glare.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Oh, <em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">burn</em>! Better "believe" it: You can manhandle the fresh tattoo, but <em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">don't</em> pick on the homeland!</div>

Letterman had further fun with Bieber during the evening, teasing him about his hair, asking him about his college plans, and even breaking into a few opera stanzas with the superstar.</div>

While the film is rated PG -- mainly for some scarier moments than we're used to seeing in G-rated fare -- the marketing and advertising wizards at Disney/Pixar have keenly focused on the animated feature's lead character, Merida, and her wild, curly red locks.

"This is an important, complicated societal issue that we all have to work together to provide a solution," Kent told the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1340089929_3">Wall Street Journal</span> in an interview published late Monday.</div>

"That's why we are working with government, business and civil society to have active lifestyle programs in every country we operate by 2015," he said.</div>

His remarks came just weeks after the health-conscious <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1340089929_4">Bloomberg</span> proposed a ban on super-sized <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1340089929_7">soft drinks</span> that would restrict the sale to 16-ounce servings, more than an average can but far less than the bucket-sized beverages offered at cinemas, service stations and sporting events.</div>

Kent said Coca-Cola has diversified from its namesake, offering a wide range of healthy teas, juices,<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1340089929_6">sports drinks</span> and other products.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"We've gone from being a single-beverage, single-brand company to now 500-plus brands, 3,000 products. Eight hundred of these products we've introduced in the last four or five years are calorie-free or low-calorie.</div>

"It is, I believe, incorrect and unjust to put the blame on any single ingredient, any single product, any single category of food," he said.</div>

Bloomberg said the proposed ban was needed to confront the "epidemic" of obesity in the United States, which contributes to rising health costs.</div>

Critics have derided the proposed ban as a "nanny state" overreach of government power.</div>

They have also faulted the mayor for seeking to restrict certain unhealthy habits -- like smoking and sugary drinks -- while the city hosts eat-athons like the annual Coney Island hotdog competition.</div>

The proposed measure would target fast-food and other restaurants, delis, and places of public entertainment like stadiums. It would not cover drinks sold in supermarkets or any diet, fruit, dairy or<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1340089929_8">alcoholic drinks</span>.</div>

Whether it's an incredibly dumb move or a smart business decision is anybody's guess.</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
A little more than two months after the erstwhile <em>Yes Man</em> announced <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/finally_dumb_dumber_2_in_works_with_jim/305834" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">he was game to reunite</a> with directors <strong>Peter</strong> and <strong>Bobby Farrelly</strong> and costar <strong><a class="name" href="http://www.eonline.com/celebs/Jeff_Daniels/112145" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;">Jeff Daniels</a></strong> for a long-awaited sequel to their 1994 hit <em>Dumb and Dumber</em>, <strong><a class="name" href="http://www.eonline.com/celebs/Jim_Carrey/112306" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;">Jim Carrey</a></strong> is now officially saying no to the project.</div>

<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
Sources told <a href="http://www.etonline.com/movies/122750_Dumb_and_Dumber_Sequel_Loses_Jim_Carrey/index.html" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">ETOnline</a> that the funnyman wasn't feeling the love from executives at New Line and Warner Bros., who in his view "showed a lack of enthusiasm" for the reunion, which supposedly was due to be titled <em>Dumb and Dumber To</em>.</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
Carrey's rep confirms the report to E! News. "I would have thought <em>Dumb and Dumber To</em> was a no-brainer," the star said in a statement. "After all, it's implied in the title."</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
Perhaps the studios weren't psyched about the disappointing box office of the Farrellys' latest slapstick venture (and passion project), <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/nyuck_nyuck_nyuck_farrelly_brothers/279270" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank"><em>The Three Stooges</em></a>, which grossed a tepid $43 million. No doubt the duo expected a follow-up to one of their comedy classics would get them back on track.</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
That and the fact that <em>Dumb and Dumber</em> fans have been clamoring for it for a long time, especially in the wake of <em>Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd</em>, the prequel New Line released—which the sibling helmers were not involved with—that grossed a weak $39 million worldwide.</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
Either way, Carrey's exit would mean <em>Dumb and Dumber To</em>, which was due to start lensing in the fall, might now never be made. Fans can take heart though: The comedian will be returning to the big screen next year playing a dangerous street magician opposite<strong><a class="name" href="http://www.eonline.com/celebs/Steve_Carell/116681" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none !important;">Steve Carell</a></strong> in the comedy <em>Burt Wonderstone</em>.</div>
<div style="padding-right: 20px;">
Reps for the studios were unavailable for comment.</div>
