Woman Almost Went Blind Trying to Turn Her Eyes Blue

This woman traveled all the way to Panama City to have a surgical procedure to make her eyes blue...but instead it almost made her blind.

Shenise Farrell paid $7,000 and traveled all the way to Panama City to have a surgical procedure to turn her dark brown eyes to bright blue.

But things ended up taking a turn for the worst, and UK doctors ended up performing surgical procedures to keep her from going blind.

(A picture of Farrell after the operation)

NewColorIris is an eye implant that permanently changes the color of a person's eyes. And it all takes less than 15 minutes.

After the surgery, which Farrell claims was very painful, she was taken back to her hotel with some eye drops - and was told to buy her own painkillers.

After four days of continuous pain and no improvement in her eyesight, Farrell called a UK Doctor to have them removed.

Opthalmic surgeon Ali Mearza, the doctor who removed her implants, has been quoted as strongly advising people to NOT undergo this surgery.

NewColorIris' spokesperson says that it has performed over 600 operations since 2002, and has had only a handful of complaints.

It seems that Shenise Farrell is a part of that unfortunate handful. Needless to say, Farrell's eyes are now back to dark brown.

$4.5 Million Crypt For Sale- Location is Key!

A widow is selling her husband's burial plot on eBay in order to pay off her mortgage. But this is no ordinary plot. It's all about location, location, LOCATION!

The bidding for the plot opened at $500,000 on August 16th and reached $4.5 million by August 19th.

What makes this plot so special? Find out when you continue reading...

The Location...

The plot is directly above Marilyn Monroe's final resting place. In fact, the person with the winning bid will find themselves above Marilyn Monroe, looking face down onto her- for all of eternity.

The crypt is currently being occupied by the late Richard Ponter, who bought the crypt from the late baseball player Joe DiMaggio. DiMaggio was Marilyn Monroe's ex-husband, but they divorced in 1954.

Richard Poncher's widow, Elsie Poncher, is selling the crypt in order to pay off her 1.6 million dollar mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.

Times really must be hard.

The crypt is in the well known Westwood Village Memorial Park, in Los Angeles. Many celebrities have been buried there- such as Dean Martin, Truman Capote, James Coburn, and, most recently, Farrah Fawcett.

Playboy Hugh Hefner purchased the crypt beside Monroe in 1992.

Would you purchase a crypt beside Marilyn Monroe? Or rather, would you spend $4.5 million to lie next to Marilyn Monroe for all eternity?

Brazilian Environmentalists are Using Humor to Save Water...But They are Serious

Environmentalists in Brazil have started a campaign to get citizens to save water. And you will never guess what they are asking Brazilians to do...

Find out when you read the rest.

They are asking Brazilians to urinate while they are in the shower. Yes, while someone is in the shower washing themselves, environmentalists are telling them to go ahead and let it out. This is to help conserve water and save the rainforest.

Although they are completely serious about this, SOS Mata Atlantica launched a humorous campaign to promote urinating in the shower. In the ad below, you will see people from all walks of life peeing in the shower(my favorite is the Jordan icon relieving himself). At the end of the animated ad it says, "Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!"



The television ads are claiming that if everyone does this, then over 1,000 gallons of water per household can be saved a year.

Ken Livingstone- The former mayor of London, England, proposed a similar campaign in 2006. He said urine should be classified as a "green waste" and that "there is no earthly reason that you need to flush the loo if you have merely urinated. That's a huge saving of water."

WARNING: Don't Ask Hillary About Her Husband

Hillary Clinton snapped on a Congolese University student yesterday at a town hall meeting after being asked her husband's opinions on an international affair.  Oops, I mean matter.

This happened a week after her husband won back the favor of many Americans by negotiating the release of two detained American journalists in North Korea.

(picture above is not related to the incident)

Seems like someone is a little touchy now that her husband has gotten back into the spotlight. Watch the video when you continue reading...




The student who asked the question now claims that he meant to say President Obama, and not former President Clinton. (Some are even saying that the translator must have mixed up the translation)

Many are asking what caused the outburst. Insiders are saying that jetlag played a big part. Hillary Clinton was at the half-point in a 12 day trip of touring seven different countries. At the time of this video, she had already done 22 speeches and 5 interviews.

And after all her traveling and speaking, many people just questioned her about her husband and his mission...and not hers.
----
Guess that would be a little frustrating. But we certainly got the message, Hillary. Don't EVER ask about your husband and his thoughts. Got it. Maybe she should have just brought him along...that way the people can ask him their questions, and the Clintons could get some seemingly much needed quality time. Just a thought.

What do you think? Did Hillary get out of hand? Is her outburst justified? COMMENT.

'Dead' Baby Awakens

In Asuncion, Paraguay, a family was devastated to have the baby declared dead after being born 16 weeks prematurely.

Find out what happened at the funeral wake when you cick CONTINUE reading...

Much to the family's amazement and disbelief, the baby woke up and started crying hours later at the funeral wake!

Thank goodness the family was speedy with burial traditions- but not too speedy.

The head of pediatric care at the hospital where the baby was born, Dr. Ernesto Weber, stated that the baby only weighed 500 grams at birth.(This is about 17 or 18 ounces!)

"Initially, the baby didn't move, he practically didn't have any respiratory reflexes, nor did we hear a heartbeat and, as a result, we declared a premature fetus of 24 weeks dead," Weber told Reuters Television.

The family was even given a death certificate and a cardboard box as a makeshift coffin for the baby.

The baby is now declared alive and is in stable condition in an incubator.
---

In a time where suing is just as common as saying "hello", I would advise the family to go ahead and sue the hospital. They made a very grave mistake. Hospitals really shouldn't be able to afford to be declaring people dead when they actually aren't. But, seeing as the baby did not have a heartbeat, I don't think the doctor can be at fault.

So the family should probably just count their blessings because this is a remarkable story.

The Controversial New Doll for Young Girls - Bebé Glotón

Of course we have dolls that cry, dolls that can wet their diapers, dolls that talk, and dolls that walk. But when the question came up of "What will they think of next?", I don't think anyone was expecting this.

Let me introduce you to the "Bebé Glotón". Made by spanish manufacturers, this name is spanish for "Baby Glutton". Find out why this gluttonous baby is so controversial when you read the rest.

The Baby Glutton is a breast-feeding doll. Yes, you heard me correctly, a breast-feeding doll for young girls.
So how are girls going to be able to breast feed this precious little doll when they more than likely aren't even developed yet? Easy. The girls put on a halter top with two daisies in place for where their breasts should be. They then take the doll into their arms, and the doll immediately starts to suckle. Below you will see a video that demonstrates.



Is it just me, or is this going way too far for little girl toys? The toy manufacturer says that it is trying to foster nurturing in young girls and promote breast feeding.

But, isn't a 6-yr old girl a little too young for all that? They should probably just stick to releasing public service announcements.

And what's up with the name? Don't they know that gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins?(for my religious folks out there) Should we really be naming dolls after deadly sins? Goodness knows what that promotes for young girls.

What do you think? Do you think this is appropriate? Would you let your daughter play with this doll? 

And what on earth do YOU think they will come up with next?

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

In honor of our president's 48th birthday, I have decided to dedicate this post to him. Let's consider it my birthday gift.

Although we don't know for sure yet what all the president has received for his birthday, we do know about the past presidents. 

When you read the rest, you will see what interesting gifts some past presidents received in celebration of another year of life.

George W. Bush - 300 pounds of raw lamb meat from the president of Argentina

Bill Clinton - The president of Azerbaijan gave a carpet that featured a portrait of the first couple

George H.W. Bush - The president of Indonesia gave a Komodo dragon

Jimmy Carter - The president of Mexico commissioned famous Octavio Ocampo to paint a metamorphic portrait of President Carter. This style places various images in a larger image to create an illusion.

Richard Nixon - A Pakistani man presented two grains of rice that held a portrait of Nixon on them

John F. Kennedy - A carved peach pit with his likeness on it

Harry S. Truman - A two-lane bowling alley that was installed in the white house

Frankin D. Roosevelt - 5 ft high and 300 pound birthday cake

Rutherford B Hayes - A carved lemon made to look like a pig

And of course, probably the most known birthday gift of all was given to George Washington - Congress declared Washington's birthday the first federal holiday to honor an American-born citizen.

Jobless Graduate Says School Must Pay

Trina Thompson, A recent college graduate in New York City, is having trouble finding a job. So someone must pay.Thompson is suing where she got her bachelors degree, Monroe College, for being the reason why she does not have a job. Monroe College is unique because it has three semesters, so students take classes all year round. This allows their students to get their bachelor's degree in under three years.
The 27-year-old filed for a $70,000 lawsuit last week, which was the cost of her tuition. With a degree in Information Technology, Thompson has been unsuccessfully looking for a job since April.

Apparently Monroe's Career Advancement Office hasn't come through with the promises of employment it gave her while she was an undergrad. Gary Axelbank, the college spokesman, says that the lawsuit is completely without merit.

We shall see how this turns out. But it's a great idea. Nowadays SO MUCH money is being paid to get a degree...and why do we do it? We do it to "further our education", of course, but we also do it so that we can obtain a great job. And a College or University usually gives us that promise in exchange for our money. (It's really all about the money, baby.)

So if we graduate and end up not getting a job, shouldn't we get monetary compensation for our woes?? Whose fault should it be for the unemployment of recent grads, the College/University or ours??

COMMENT.
