I cringe every time I see something like this online...

http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news?id=30114

"The blogger who claimed they were on hunger strike..."
"The blogger, who referred to themselves only as ‘J’..."
"...but says she has relented under doctor’s orders."
"‘J’ also requested that anyone else on hunger strike to stop..."
"...(we doubt there was ever more than one person), and..."

(Emphases added)

People get pade to rite stuff like that.  Y kan't I get pade?

That site is pretty annoying.  I really hate the scrolling crap at the top of the page.  It reminds me of what television news has devolved into.

TV news anchors reading off crap from blogs all the time or making special reports on internet phenomena that are so old they've attained Brolsmaic proportions is one of the many reasons that I don't watch it anymore.

I watch KRON channel 4 in the mornings sometime, just because I like to look at Darya Folsom.

RDNN, the RealDoll News Network.

Personally, I'd rather watch a blow-up doll than Nancy Grace.  :roll:

Nancy Grace is the only woman I have ever really, actually felt like physically punching in the face.

Is that wrong?

Yes, it is. Shouldn't it be "another TV person" instead of "the only woman" ?

No, it's not wrong.  I would love love love to see someone clock that bitch.  I wouldn't really care whether it was a male or a female.

Yes it is wrong. You're too soft. With the kind of coworkers/clients you've had, there should be more than one women you want to punch in the face.

Yeah, but she could bash him in the face with a shovel and if he hit back he'd probably get in trouble, not her.

True ...

An embarassing prank to leave lasting emotional scars would likely have more long term damaging effects and even if he was found out he'd just be a jerk ... not arrested.

You can still want it really bad without actually doing it. That's what punching bags and imagination are for. Got me trough my adolescence!

Too true ... my best karate classes are when I imagine my ex-husband's face on the focus pad.  My punches and kicks are the most intense and well aimed when I pretend its him.
