American solider, Sergeant Scott Moore, engaged his Kevlar-cladded balls and posted a video on YouTube asking actress Mila Kunis to the upcoming Marine Corps Ball.
The highlight of the American military social calendar, the ball marks the founding of the Marines in 1775.
A day later, on an unrelated TV interview, Mila was surprised when the interviewer asked her about the video. A brief explanation later, and with some egging on from co-interview Justin Timberlake, Mila accepted!
Although her PR agent has yet to confirm the arrangements, it is believed that she will in fact attend as promised.
With the bulk of the Marines assumedly excited, and a growing video archive to prove her words, let’s hope she keeps her promise.
War aside, I would imagine Sergeant Moore is more than a little nervous.
I can just imagine the flood of similar videos that will no doubt soon flood YouTube asking for Dates with the world’s most famous lovelies.
On that note, Kristin/Shakira, I’m free this weekend…
The world’s first mother-daughter uterus transplant could take place next year in Sweden, the head of an international research team in the western Swedish city of Gothenburg said Tuesday.
“We have reached a stage where we have started to plan for a human transplant and we are investigating 10 pairs, most of those are mother and daughters,” Mats Braenstroem told AFP, adding the first of such transplants could take place “hopefully at the beginning of next year.”
He added that transplanting a womb from a woman to her daughter would be a world first, although a uterus transplant between two unrelated women took place in Saudi Arabia in 2002.
His international team of doctors at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital has been researching the subject for a decade and has tested it on animals, he said, explaining there were no particular complications in transplanting a womb from mother to daughter.
“There can just be an advantage because they are more similar in their tissues so there could be less rejection in that situation,” he said.
One of the pairs undergoing the physical and psychological tests required ahead of a possible procedure were quoted in Swedish media Tuesday as saying they were grateful to be part of the project.
“I have been given an opportunity I did not think was possible,” a 25-year old woman born without a uterus told tabloid Expressen.
“I have always loved children. Over the past five years I have felt intense sorrow over not being able to have children of my own,” she told its competitor Aftonbladet.
The woman could receive a uterus from her 56-year-old mother, who said she no longer had any use for the organ and that it felt natural to do everything she could to help her daughter.
“I think all parents do what they can to help their children if it feels right,” she told Aftonbladet.
The daughter insisted receiving the womb she herself emerged from was not a cause for concern.
“It’s an organ just like any other and it has no genetic significance. I work as a biology teacher and I don’t think its strange,” she told Expressen.
The world’s first uterus transplant took place in 2002 when doctors in Saudi Arabia transplanted the womb of a 46-year-old woman to a 26-year-old.
Although blood clots forced the doctors to remove the transplanted organ after 14 weeks, they claimed technical success in the procedure.
Braenstroem said such complications would be less likely in the Swedish transplants.
“We have optimised the technique in our animal models for such a long time. The Saudi Arabia team didn’t have any experience at all in animal models before. They did it in humans right away,” he explained.
In 2007, scientists planned the first uterus transplant in the United States, but the procedure never went beyond the screening stage.
“The research front has moved forward since 2007 and especially our group has taken big steps forward in this research, so that’s why we think we are ready to do this,” Braenstroem said.

Amazing, isn’t it?
The fact that we are able to operate a fleshy chop-shop, irrespective of the originating state, locale and type of the donor is truly astounding.
Hearts, livers and kidneys are commonplace. Even the lungs today are capable of being stripped from a wreck and transplanted into a future sports model.
The womb though, that raises an encyclopaedia’s worth of questions.
The ability to perform it is not in doubt — the moral and mental aspect of it however, is — amongst others.
My first question would surely be one of longevity. If we take into account that this transplant is deemed to be between a woman in her mid-to-late fourties (the donor) and one in her early-to-mid twenties (the recipient), the question of menopause surely must be asked? At the donor’s age, most women have a reproductive system beginning to shut down. What is the use of transplanting an effectively expiring organ? Is there a process in place to extend the meno’?
Secondly, I do note the experimental phase this process is engaged in, but will the preference always be to use the mother’s womb? What of the mindset needed by both donor and recipient? Society has, in general, maintained very strong views against incest. This is backed up many religions and, of course, plenty of legislation across the globe. Indeed, there is no familial copulation occuring, but the fact remains that it shall be possible to conceive a grandchild in the grandmother’s womb.
Legally, where does this sit? It is not incestuous on the one hand because no familial copulation occurred (which, for clarity’s sake precludes typically incest-derived defects with the child, before you assume/ask), but the child is born of the grandmother’s womb, which, arguably, is incestuous.
Has counselling been provided to both donor and recipient for this?
Is medication provided to the recipient to control organ rejection issues, and if so, what testing has been done to ascertain the effects of this on pregnancy?
I’m neither for nor against this procedure, but it does leave a lot questions hanging in the balance.
What are your views on it? Would you try it? Do you disagree with it? Is it righteous in respect of your beliefs?
Ana Catarina Bezerra, a 36-year-old Brazilian woman, suffers from an imbalance that triggers severe anxiety and hypersexuality.Ana found that the only way to relieve her anxiety was to masturbate.
This seems all within the realms of reason, except that she realised it might be problem when her self-love hit the 47-times-a-day mark.
In April last year, Ana took her employer to court to be allowed to play with herself at work and now that she’s won, she’s legally entitled to watch porn with her hand up her skirt for 15 minutes every two hours during office hours.
If it’s just with herself, does the usual title still apply?
Experience teaches those of us with visual acuity and lateral thinking that, for the most part, sheeple are only concerned with what surrounds their little world.
It might be politically and humanly correct to send aid to a country you’ve never heard of before, to campaign for equal rights for people with three nipples & distended ear canals and to give the beggar a couple of coins but on a personal level this is all means nothing.
We’re glad that ‘the war’ is somewhere ‘over there’, that the photos of starving kids disappear as you flip the newspaper page and that the president got some nookie from Monica even though, publically, we abhor it.
Blinders…rhetorical or not, they’re a sofa politician’s best friend.
In my putrid part of the world, at the moment, there is a rather large, extremely impotent and severely pointless brouhaha going on — because a local TV station has decided to screen NakedNews late on a Friday night.
Despite the name, the sight of a [usually] starry eyed surprise greeting you is about as close to nil asthe number of decent Kardashian sex tapes you’re ever likely to find.
Likewise, another flesh-faltering humdrum tizz is taking place in the UK…this time though, they’ve narrowed down the ocularly-assaulting body parts to the boobs.
Chelsea Charms appeared on the daytime show, the Philip Schofield-hosted This Morning.
Meet Chelsea…
OMG! She has huuuuge knockers! Hide the kids! Blockade the doors & windows! Call the fuzz!
It seems Ms. Charms is a stripper and a dancer.
Now, as you can see, Chelsea is neither stripping nor dancing on the show. In addition, her abundant assets are covered adequately.
The show’s Facebook Page however, recorded over 4,000 comments in relation to her appearance. Mostly negative.
The show has been flooded with negative feedback.
Why? Your intelligent guess is as good as mine.
Why should a clothed woman, conducting herself in a suitably polite manner during an interview and exhibiting normal behaviour be scorned?
If the show’s audience were all bra size A and a guest arrived with bra size B, would that be reason to scorn her?
Size C?
…and so on and so forth?
What if a guest arrived with a noticeably large penis hung down the one leg of his trousers?
A Siamese twin with three legs, five arms and two heads? Reason enough?
Perhaps it’s the method behind the result?
Chelsea, from Minneapolis in the US, got the giant boobs by having them injected with polypropylene — a substance used to make packaging. It irritates the breast lining making them swell — and they are still growing at a rate of one inch a month.
If Chelsea Charms had arrived on the 3rd rock with genes that would ultimately give her the same 164XXX size breasts, would the result be the same?
People — there are recessions, wars, racial and social bigotry, diseases, starvation and corruption weights on the scale of problems we face. Are one woman’s boobs really that much of an issue? If at all?
Are we, in 2011, that conversative? That prudish? That selfish and insecure?
“Padded Bras are Devil’s Cushions” says Council of Islamic Ideology
By Amna Gilani • Mar 10th, 2011
Lahore – The Council of Islamic Ideology met last night as scheduled in light of the protests held last month by JUI and other religious parties against the increasing import and eventual use of padded and colorful bras. The Council also invited shop owners who were in the business of importing and selling female underwear. The Council advised the shop owners to bring lingerie samples, so that the council could see about what the protesters were angry.
Last month the protesters gathered outside an outlet inside Park Towers and occupied the entire floor and chanted slogans against padded bras. They asked the government to put a ban on the import and sale of padded, vibrant, colorful bras and demanded legislation that would outlaw the purchase of any underwear that is not white or beige colored.
“Padded bras are evil as they make the breasts look bigger and perky”, said one of the protesters. “Only devil women show off private parts. Muslim women should be as humble about them as they can. In fact they should be ashamed of their breasts, both of them.” Another protester said that the purpose of underwear is not to accentuate the curves. “…especially of a woman’s body the breast should not look like they belong to a non-virgin even if she happens to be married.” he added.
“Those lacy bras? They are an abomination! Do you even know how they’re made? They’re made in China by underfed and underpaid children. That’s how they’re made.” said a placard that was held by a protester. They chanted slogans as the Mall security stood and watched helplessly while three female customers and two employees locked themselves inside the store. The third employee of the store who was on a break before the protest began, joined the protesters and was cheered up on by the crowd after she announced, “I will not wear these sinful, men-attracting padded bras that make my jugs look juicy.” She then ripped out her bra and threw it on the ground where the protesters stomped on it repeatedly. She was later thrown an abaya by someone in the crowd.
After the meeting of the Council was over, the recommendation was released to the media that says, “Padded bras are Devil’s cushions and he likes to rest of them. The Council of Islamic Ideology is recommending that Pakistani Muslim researchers should try to invent a bra that makes the female chest area unnoticeable.”
Zakir Naik, one of the leading Islamic scholars commented on the situation that if the Pakistani government approves of the funding grant for this research and if Pakistan is successful at making such a bra that makes the chest of women unnoticeable, Pakistan might become the biggest exporter for Shariah compliant underwear. He said that he’d personally sign and send the first of these Shariah-bra to Veena Malik [Pakistani actress, model and comedienne — left] and Ali Saleem [Pakistani crossdresser — right].
Ever been perplexed as to Zooey Deschanel’s bra size? 34B.
How about Kate Beckinsale, Kate Mara or Kristin Kreuk? 32B, 34B and 32B respectively.
In a world where everything and everything you could, need or haven’t yet mentally conceived, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to find that a ‘site like brasizefinder.com exists.
Who wouldn’t need such a handy and useful tool?
All of these lovely ladies would have my attention with the bat of an eyelid, whether I knew their bra size or not.
What gets me though, is how does the website owner attain all of his — or her — titillating knowledge?
I have yet to see an interview where the interviewer asks the lady in the spotlight what the size of her squishy bits is.
Is is just me or do you also have visions of some forgotten geek in a basement somewhere sizing up the peaks using some selfmade software?
