Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think Hitchcock and his kids might be my favorite.
Um, but Hitch only had one daughter. They may be his granddaughters, he had three of those.
Not sure about the attributions of a number of those pictures. Is that really Alain Delon with Romy? But they're fun anyway.
I'm glad the new position's working out so well for you JZ.
JZ, I'm so glad about the new position! That's great.
Tajazzle - Are Pelvis Stickers the New Snuggie?
...Tajazzle is a "three-step product" that is basically just, er, adhesive vagina stickers. The infomercial, which has been uploaded to YouTube in two parts (after the jump), is startingly absurd. The Tajazzle "process" involves powder and some sort of chapstick-like substance, but it all boils down to ladies putting shiny sticker hearts where only their "lovers" (gross) can see.
Like most infomercials, Tajazzle boasts plenty of ganky elements: atrocious acting, misshapen boobs, repetitious script, synthesized background music, weird nicknames for vaginas ("fling") and strange vocal intonations (you know that one chick is a mail-order bride).
I haven't watched the videos, which are NSFW....
Good lord. WHY? If your lover needs an "ENTER HERE" sticker you have issues.
people are so wrong, I don't even know. Makes me want to make a mock commercial for a product to temporarily tattoo instructions on your chest and stomach. "They can be changed easily so instructions are specific to each "special person" in your life. Does he rush things? Is she too rough? or maybe not rough enough? Our experts have interviewed LITERALLY many couples about their intimate lives and have compiled, for you, expertly worded examples that address the 8 most common issues in couples' intimate lives. Call now and we will include this re-usable razor to prepare the area for tattooing (particularly hairy men should seek professional assistance for hair removal) AND a certificate for one free call to our expert hotline for advice on how to write your specific instructions. Quantities ARE limited so call now. Bulk discounts are available, just ask for the I'm a Slut program."
But "bling in your fling" makes me laugh SO HARD.
I wonder if this will change anybody's mind about the supposed link between vaccinations and autism:
It wasn't just shoddy, it was fraud
The infamous Andrew Wakefield study that claimed to find a link between autism and vaccinations is still being scrutinized, and the latest investigation has uncovered evidence of faked data.
A new examination found, by comparing the reported diagnoses in the paper to hospital records, that Wakefield and colleagues altered facts about patients in their study.
The analysis, by British journalist Brian Deer, found that despite the claim in Wakefield's paper that the 12 children studied were normal until they had the MMR shot, five had previously documented developmental problems. Deer also found that all the cases were somehow misrepresented when he compared data from medical records and the children's parents.
