We have this old Christmas home video from like, 1990, in which I open this gift and exclaim “Baby Bubbles, just what I always wanted!”
Baby Bubbles was this little baby doll that you put water in and the you squeezed on its tummy and oh, “bubbles” came out like it was gurgling. Presh, I know.
But if you thought that was odd, then you have not seen the latest creation from Spanish toymaker, Berjuan , Bebé Glotón aka The Breastfeeding Baby Doll.
Basically this doll makes a suckling noise when placed against these little flower petal pads that are on a bra-top apron like two little pasties.
I first saw this a few days ago when I was watching the Today Show. Hoda and Kathy could not believe it, let me tell you. Now this whole thing is just starting to blow up as people become abreast of the situation (sorry I HAD to say that, couldn’t resist).
Personally I could care less about this controversy and any of it’s supposed inappropriateness or promotion of early pregnancy (cough, Fox News). I just think it’s weird but then again, I guess a gurgling baby was weird.
But hey, parents, if you’re going to let your kids watch Miley Cyrus on a pole at the Teen Choice Awards and HSM star Vanessa Hudgens although she took it all off in some photos, then what’s the issue? Besides this is some European doll, is it even being sold in the US?
I guess I am just sick of people pointing out the potential hazards of everything in society. Most recently, I was really steamed when I read a NY Times health article on the negative portrayl of alcohol in Harry Potter. Heck, do not even get me started on that one. I never thought Butter Beer was actual beer or that Hermoine was some drunk floozy. People, get a grip, children do not want to drink because of Harry Potter and they certainly don’t want to have sex and get pregnant because of some Breastfeeding doll (there are certainly other reasons for these things, which I am not going to get into because I am not an expert and I don’t even want to begin to delve into that realm).
Nonetheless…Yes, I do think this doll is weird.
On another doll note.. have you heard that Mattel is coming out with Barbie Doll representations of Bella Swan (K.Stew) and Edward Cullen (RPattz), from Twilight. 
Man, that series is just milking it for all it’s worth. I’m sure they will make a killing with those dolls (no pun intended) with the Twihards. Work that demographic– a marketing dream.
…Just wait when those Twihard decide to Twi Hard, with a vengeance, vampire style– not a marketers dream.
I think that’s all I have to say about that…
The awesomeness of air guitar has been defiled with…
Air Sex?!
A friend of mine brought this post on the Air Sex World Championship (DC Edition) to my attention.
What is air sex, you may ask. Well, it is exactly as it sounds.
People have two minutes to get on stage and do their best “air” interpretation of sealing the deal.
You can log on the the official Air Sex Website to learn more, watch ridiculously disturbing videos, etc.
Here are some of the “rules”
Rules
Time: Contestants have a maximum of 2 minutes to perform an air sex routine. This can include all phases of an air sex encounter: meeting, seduction, foreplay and intercourse, or you can simply cut to the chase.
Music: Competitors must perform to music, you can either bring a CD of your performance track with you, or you can choose from our selection of air sex music. You may also include an audio prelude to your performance, maximum of 30 seconds.
Other Rules: Unlike air guitar, there are not many other rules. Props are allowed, teams are allowed, talking is allowed. The only important rule is that all sexual climaxes must be simulated, not real.
The most disturbing part of the Slate Blog Post about this is the video clip and how into this whole thing the contestants are. And the audience is loving it too ( which, I guess after a few beers, this could be amusing)
The contestants in general confused me. From the creepy guy “air masturbating” to All By Myself to the guy who is actually a doctor by day…
The winner of the DC event was a Georgertown law student and former Teach for America alum. Wow, that’s just great.
Congrats, Mr. Auto Asphyxia, Air Sex Champion. That will look great on those resumes.
For the chance to add this amazing credential to your resume, check out their website for the rest of tour dates…
REALLY?!

So instead of blogging like 200 words on each of these ridiculous things I decided to condense them all into this nice little blog post.
Consider it a little gift, presented to you with a nice, special bow on top.
Here’s my round up of the lastest WTF?! moments:
Bachelor Finale– Jason picks Melissa, dumps her on national television on the “After the Final Rose Special” only to get with the one he originally dumped, Molly who proceeds to suck face with him when she finds out he wants her back. Really, Jason?! I think Melissa said it best, you bastard.
Man stuffs cat in bong– http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29469929/
Apparently he was trying to “calm her down.” Like, mellow out you crazy cat. Now he faces animal cruelty charges. Word on the street is that Michael Phelps offered to adopted the cat, said it would “compliment his lifestyle nicely.” *note: not a direct quote.
Woman swallows engagement ring–
Seriously? Why would you put an engagement ring in a frosty? And beyond that, why would your proposal be in any way related to fast food?!
There are more dumb things out there that I could comment on but I will leave you wanting more. Remember to send me suggestions of things that catch your eye that I might have missed!
Stay Smart, America.
I really think the title of this post says it all.
This weekend, while visiting my sister in DC, she confessed to me that 6 years ago, while she was in college, she came up with the idea of a “blanket with sleeves.”
Now, needless to say, she is thoroughly upset with all the clamor that the Snuggie is receiving.
The Snuggie
Really, Kari Ann, Really?!
I only bring this ridiculous story up because I was flipping through the TV and watched a piece on The Insider (aka most absurd infotainment news source ever). Of course they did this montage of the ridiculous names they have for this woman like my favorite, Octomom.
So let’s chat about Octomom aka Nadya Suleman aka single mother of 14.
Now I have no problem with women wanting to reproduce, be they single or married, but I do have a problem with people who are unemployed and living with a parent that knowingly get a series of 6 embryos implanted in themselves and consider that responsible.
She is like “i am just gonna give my children love.” And, honestly, that’s great because children need to be loved BUT they also need a roof over their heads, clothes on their back and food on the table.
I just find it so strange that she does not seem at all concerned about providing for these kids like love is going to carry them through but then I googled her and found out that there is a website where you can make donations to the family.
Here’s my donation: a coupon for 50% off a tubal ligation.
REALLY?!
