A Sex Surrogate has had over 1500 partners

40 year-old Mare Simone has slept with many boyfriends and husbands of other women - over a thousand of them.

Simone is what she calls a "sex surrogate", and she devotes her life to helping men and women in the bedroom.


Simone has given "sexual therapy" to over 10,000 couples in 23 years.

She says that she has had sex with over 1,500 of them. But she insists that it's not illegal.

Simone is quoted by Newsvine as saying, "I earn my living by sleeping with other women's husbands or boyfriends. But I am in no way a prostitute as sex surrogacy is legal, as long as it is done in a therapeutic and healing atmosphere...I am helping improve and change the sex lives of thousands of men, which means I am also helping improve the sex lives of their wives and girlfriends...."

Does anyone else see what's fishy about this?

If you are/were in a relationship and you were having problems in the bedroom, would YOU go see Mare Simone?

You might get a little more than you bargained for.

Twitter: A News Source or Strictly Social?

I've always had reservations about Twitter, but the latest blowup involving the very popular social networking site put those reservations at the forefront of my mind.

Thanks to Twitter, America learned today that Obama called Kanye West a "Jackass". (This is a day after the whole Kanye West/Taylor Swift fiasco at the MTV Video Music Awards.)

ABC's Reporter Terry Moran was interviewing the President, and during the interview, he tweeted that President Obama called Kanye West the certainly-inappropriate-for-an-interview name.

The tweet was taken down an hour later, but by that time the damage had been done. What President Obama was quoted as saying was already all over the internet.

You can listen to Obama's comment and read ABC's official statement when you continue reading....




An ABC Spokesperson released this statement:

"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."

This ordeal caused me to analyze twitter and think about how it is used. For some, twitter is a social website to tweet pointless tweets- such as talking about funny moments in the day or about finding a favorite cereal brand at Wal-Mart.

But for others, Twitter is a news source. There are people who actually log on to Twitter in the morning to receive their daily news. Who can blame them? After all, most of the major news outlets have a twitter account.

So what exactly was the ABC reporter thinking when he tweeted an off-the-record comment from an interview on a major website? At the time, was he just attempting to use twitter for social purposes? Maybe he was just trying to let his friends know about an "off the wall" comment the President made.

I think that it needs to be decided once and for all: Is Twitter strictly social, or is it another valid news source?

There needs to be a formal declaration so that everyone who uses Twitter can know how to appropriately use it! Until Twitter's blurry line between the two is defined, we will continue to have mistakes like this.

What do you think Twitter is?

$500,000 for a Bloody Sculpture

The National Portrait Gallery in London has added a sculpture from one of the UK's most famous living artists, Marc Quinn, to their repertoire.

Quinn is known for his unique sculptures that depict the human body using materials such as ice, marble, glass and/or blood.
The sculpture that will be going to the National Portrait Gallery in London is a sculpture that Quinn does every four years.

Find out more about this sculpture when you continue reading...

The sculpture is Quinn's self portrait...and it's filled with 10 pints of his own blood.

The unique sculpture is on display in a Perspex box filled with silica chilled to negative 18 degrees Celsius, so that the blood won't liquify.

Below is a picture of the bloody sculpture:


aaahhh, the wonders of modern art.

99 Cents Only Store Takes Advantage of 9/9/09

In a big promotional hoopla, the 99 Cents Only Store in Hollywood did a promotion that will last a lifetime. They married 9 engaged couples for the cost of $.99 per couple.

The couples were married in aisle 9 of the store. The decor and items for the reception were all made from store inventory. The gowns that the brides wore were even made from 99 Cents Only Store items.

Here are some pictures from the event:
The newlyweds even received receipts for their "purchase"...

The sad thing is people might actually try to use the receipt to "return" their spouse. I wonder how many days they get before they no longer receive a full refund. 14 days? 30?

ONLY in LA...

In Honolulu, Body Odor is a Crime

Smelly public transit riders in Honolulu may get punished for their pungent odor.
The Honolulu City council is proposing a bill that would give a $500 fine and/or up to six months of jail for neglecting personal hygiene.

This would include body odor, offensive smells, or animals.

According to the AP, the bill would make it illegal to have "odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system." The bill is set to be heard in committee on Thursday.

---

My question is- WHO gets to determine that a person's smell is bad enough to impose a fine and/or jail time? And how strong of a bad smell on a person or their animal is deserving of that?
