Octo's New Option -- Porn or Diapers?!

There is a serious effort underway to block OctoMom from taking a million dollar offer to do porn -- except the opposition is coming from a rival XXX company!

Fearing that Nadya Suleman "will become the subject of endless ridicule and scorn," the president of Pink Visual has offered Octo a "full year's worth of diapers" if she keeps her baby maker where it belongs ... fully covered and far away from any type of recording device.

In a letter sent to Octo, morally righteous Pink Visual warns, "There's a great deal of stigma attached to being a porn star" and that Octo needs to think "in the best interest of your children." For once.

So what's it gonna be? Do porn ... and get a million bucks, health insurance and benefits -- or keep it covered ... so you can keep your kids clean? Decisions, decisions.

I want someone to offer me stuff for not doing porn. But it'd have to be something more useful than diapers.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I still think of the bronze when I see "BBS". And "dead."

Fearing that Nadya Suleman "will become the subject of endless ridicule and scorn,"

I think that ship has already sailed.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Overheard on the bus today - a high-school girl:

I'm not a slut; I just do what I do.

I kind of love this kid.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know where they get that there was nothing to do online in 1996. In 1995, I had to cut a roommate off from using my computer because he racked up such a high phone bill via AOL that he couldn't make rent.

The robot trains are coming!

Robots Now Driving Some New York City Trains

In a $300 million emotional purchase for the subway, the MTA's CBTC (communication-based train control) system will drive the L train starting today.

This means that you'll have a robot conductor in charge of the movement instead of a disgruntled human. When it screws up they can blame technology and not the human beings in control our idiotic train system.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Octomom - if she does make a bunch of money (from porn, book, non-porn movie) the state of California should bill her for at least some of what the new babies have cost the state in medical care.

This is why God created hamsters... and Roombas:

Hamster-Controlled Roomba

Technically it’s an iRobot, but it’s pretty much the same thing. It kinda reminds me of Dr. Robotnik’s creations, only alot less evil.

There's a hamster in a hamster ball, and the Roomba (or, rather, iRobot) goes in whatever direction the hamster goes. It's just weird to watch the video....

There needs to be a TV show where hamster-controlled Roombas fight cats riding Roombas.

Sea Otter Boogers

These Japanese snacks are actually called “Sea Otter Boogers” and apparently are quite tasty treats made of candied black beans. They’re yours for only about $6, of course, you have to speak Japanese to order them.
