Apparently, we're NOT supposed to say "Great boobs!" to strangers on the street...Who knew?


Newell, who's been asked "Are they real?" more times than she can count, seconds Seery's advice.

"We've sensationalized the whole plastic surgery industry with shows like 'Extreme Makeover' and 'Nip/Tuck,' so now people feel they can discuss it, even with complete strangers," she says. "But it's none of your business, and it's extremely offensive to pry. What if I was a cancer survivor?"

The whole article, about how you should go out of your way to give people who have had plastic surgery compliments that don't make them feel awkward, is pretty ridiculous. But this paragraph was the worst.

Ms. Newell, no offense, but you got fake boobs. You are not a cancer survivor. It may not be classy to point out a stranger's fake boobs in public...but it's still not anything remotely like being a cancer survivor. I mean, don't you get work done on your breasts so people will notice them?

I'm not saying that means it's okay to sexually harass women who have had implants. At all. I'm just saying that it's not like you have cancer.

Where the Wild Things Are, Phat Dippn', and more on TWIYT #38


LOTS of great videos this week. Sometimes, it's tough to find 10 individual videos that I want to highlight. Other weeks, I have to cut down a long list. Any week that gives us both a stop-motion animated film starring Bruce Lee, Nickelback getting crap thrown at them AND a music video featuring Tay Zonday and iJustine is going to be strong.

Also, please ignore the fact that I was sick all day today, and that it's readily apparent that I'm pale, sweaty and nasally in the above video.

Wang Manor


This teenager's drawing of a 60-ft. weiner atop his parent's house stayed there for over a year before it was seen. That is how you prank!

Anna Nicole's former shrink caught snorting...something...


Looks like cocaine to me, but what do I know? Maybe it's salt and she just has a very unconventional margarita recipe. Anyway, Radar Online has pictures of Khristine Eroshevich snorting SOMETHING off her pants with a straw. The timing's not great for the psychiatrist, who's in jail right now for prescribing Anna Nicole Smith with lots and lots of pills the model probably didn't need. Unless by need, you mean "wanted a lot to make having to be around Howard K. Stern less unnerving."

Houston lawmaker asks: 'What's Medicaid?'


At a hearing Thursday of the House Committee on Human Services, Elkins and other members of the panel considered more than two dozen bills related to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.

Three hours into the hearing, Elkins asked: "What's Medicaid?"

The Houston Republican continued: "I know I hear it — I really don't know what it is. I know that's a big shock to everybody here in the audience, OK."

He could have kept quiet. He could have asked an aide. He could have Googled it. Instead, he asked the question into the microphone in the middle of a public hearing.

Medicaid, for the record, is the federal-state health insurance program for low-income people and people with disabilities. Elkins is new to the Human Services Committee. However, he's served in the House since 1995, where one of the main tasks is crafting the state budget.

A quarter of the state budget is Medicaid.

Did that student say "What's a battle?"

No, he said "What's that rattle?"

Sounded like "battle" to me...

Well, I have a cold.

So you'd hear b's as r's...

Yes.
