  • Celebrity Round Up video edition

    I was talking to a friend today about a certain video and I thought there were about 3 videos I have heard of involving the celebrities that I tend to knock from time to time.  Why not post the videos?

    The first is of Jenny McCarthy.  She hosted a webcast on Oprah's website because Jenny is the head of an organization that is trying to find a cure and help families deal with autism.  Well during the webcast Jenny got punked.  The audio isn't the best quality so I will type what she reads from an email: "Amanda from Massachusetts. ‘I am a single mother. My son was diagnosed
    with autism when he was three and I’d love to take care of him with the
    best of my abilities. I was wondering if you have any tips on how I can
    never give up on him and never let him down. At one point I even
    considered deserting him.’ Wow. Wow. Wow.”  Here's the video.

    So you're asking what is so special about that and how is that a punk?  Carefully consider what is written: take care of him with the best of my abilities, never want to give him up, never let him, and never desert him...ring any bells?  Jenny was RICK ROLLED!

    That's Rick Astley's 1987 "Never Gonna Give You Up".  Amanda from Massachussetts, you're going to burn in hell, make sure to save a spot for me because I found this hilarious.

    The other video I wanted to post was of Jessica Simpson's recent visit to Dancing with the Stars.  She butchered Robbie Williams' "Angels" but that isn't what I'm getting at here.  Pay attention to how Jessica handles the mic.

    Well that is mildly arrousing.  She must really miss Tony Romo or else she is trying to take a more risque approach to her performances.  Call me a pervert but I'm just really lonely.

    The other video I wanted to show was from a recent Rachael Ray segment on her talk show.

    Yes, once again I am quite perverted but look at her smile, she knows what she's doing., naughty Rachael.  I guess you can tell what type of girl you are getting by how she handles vegetables and a pork loin.

    I'll be back later with a motivational update.

  • Banned Books

    I have been talking about banned books lately on my blog and I found a website that featured some of the more controversial books geared toward children.  I have always been fascinated by these books.  While in college, I had a children's literature course and my favorite part of said course was reading controversial books.  Anyway this is the website and on the that site you can read descriptions of the books.

    been viewed by some as controversial.
