Man is 22 weeks Pregnant – and showing!

You read it right – a man (albeit a man who was a woman and is married to a woman at this time) is 22 weeks pregnant while his infertile wife helps him through his pregnancy. Published in the National GLBT Magazine “The Advocate,” this man does his best Demi Moore pose for the cover, belly and all.

According to the report the man was previously pregnant with triplets – which were not able to be carried to term. When he has this baby – what will people say – and, may I ask, where did the sperm come from? Continue reading

Home Emptied Courtesy of Craiglist

CraigslistIt’s not the first time it’s happened. People play pranks – but these people put fake ads on Craigslist usually telling a story that they have to leave town soon, are moving or another line – and offer all the belongings in their home for free. You heard me right, FREE.

But the problem is, it’s not their stuff – and it’s not their home. These are people putting up ads for people to take anything they want, for free, from someone else’s home.
Police are inviting property takers to return any items no questions asked. Putting fake ads on craigslist is nothing new – sometimes people just do it for the shock value of the responses. But this, guys, isn’t funny. Check out the video. Continue reading

At the end of her shift, noting a variance of over $1000, the tape showed exactly what happened – to which she has no recollection. Check out the video. Continue reading

YouTubers Trip on RoboTussin – Cause Uproar

DXM – many may have never heard that term before, but it’s legal, it’s in your cough syrup – and kids have been getting high off of it for years. Only problem is, now they are putting their trippy experience popularized by Robotussin and thereby it’s nickname of “Robo”, on YouTube.

Hundreds of videos can be found which capture the experience of taking the cough syrup and other cold remedies then enjoying the ‘tripping’ experience it brings when overused. Before kids only told each other stories – if they told anyone. These days, the Internet makes things more enjoyable when you know you can share them with someone else – and you can share pretty much everything these days. Similar videos on YouTube of people using Salvia have sparked the issue nationwide and is now under consideration to be added to the list of scheduled drugs alongside cocaine and marijuana.

Help a Dying Girl Get her Wish

dying_girl_wants_hug_from_dad.jpgWhat is a 10 year old girl facing imminent death to do when she’s told ‘No, you cannot see your father.’ Once a vibrant and energetic child, her body is now ravished with hemmoraging cancerous tumors – lying ‘comfortable’ awaiting death to take her away. But she only wants to get a hug from her father.

Incarcerated in a minimum security federal prison camp in Yankton, South Dakota on a one year sentence, the father is scheduled to be transferred to a half-way house in August. After requesting a 30 day supervised visit to provide him closure with his daughter – and provide her dying wish, they were flatly denied. An appeal is being made in the case, and it is yet unsure how this will turn out. (Video after break) Continue reading

French Cancer Victim Sparks Reconsideration of Assisted Suicide

French Cancer VictimA French woman went as far as to petition the Courts to provide her with a lethal dose of drugs to end her suffering – and was denied. Once a vibrant woman, cancer infected her sinuses and nasal cavities – completely disfiguring the woman and even forcing one of her eyes out of the socket.

The womans condition only worsened once the cancer ate through much of her facial bone structure and had no sense of smell or taste – and was blind. After the Courts ruled to deny her plea, she was found dead in her apartment the next day. Continue reading

Miami Blog Reflects Shady Side of Biscayne

Burger King on Biscayne and NE 16th Street (Credit: DailyCocaine)While the City seems to believe more well-spoken individuals are thrilled with the Biscayne Omni area when ready for a night out on the town, think again – the issue of prostitution, vagrancy, panhandling in the streets to and from the highway on-ramps – and yet near the Knight Center several downtown agents in brand-new shirts sporting the DWTN logo stand about talking to each other.

A Miami-based blog called ‘DailyCocaine,’ (and food is the new cocaine – and the focus of the blog itself) decided to provide a review of some of the better locations (mockingly) for the ingestion of cocaine… included, by no surprise, is the Burger King on Biscayne and NE 16th Street. While I have detailed the issues of this area in past blog entries, his really takes the cake… Continue reading
