I just read a very interesting article on nymag.com. The article talks about married and dating couples that are in nonexclusive relationships. I was surprised to learn just how many couples have this type of relationship. Many people wonder- is monogamy our natural state? Well, 90% of birds, 7% of animals, a few insects, and 1 type of worm are monogamous, but surprisingly, our most similar kin (primates) are not!

The week in WTFs and SMHs!

This week was a mixture of items that caught my attention. Let’s get to it, because, I don’t know how much I can SMH! Rihanna, Whitney, Thomas Beatie.. just to name a few.

What a week of WTFs and other shit that manages to get through the noise of the week!

I have had the worst week ever with the laptop saga. Many of you know that I have had computer problems, but now it has come to a head. I am diligently working to get content available, so please be patient, more great content is on its way! So, the best way to get the WTFs started is with the HP Pavilion!

The past week has been crazy to say the least! Here is a quick list of some of the more noteworthy WTF’s!

UPDATE: Google and the Hot Girls site have issued apologies. The most important piece to this story is, the picture is removed.

Words can’t even be put on this nonsense. There is a distorted picture of the First Lady that has her face and a monkey morphed together. The picture returns as a top image for Mrs. Obama in the Google search. The LA Times quotes Google Inc. spokesman, Scott Rubin, “It’s offensive to many people, but that alone is not a reason to remove it from our search index”

Is this free speech?

The credit card companies are having a field day as we move closer to Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, set to take effect on February 22, 2010. There are reports of rate increases and increased minimum monthly payments. One of the provisions of the Act would be to stop banks from increasing fixed interest rates on existing balances unless you are two months late in paying your bill.

USA Today reports, “a large-sized popcorn at Regal theaters has 20 cups of popcorn, 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat”. I am not the health police, but that is your entire days worth of calories in one expense bag of popcorn. Unfortunately, I can’t say the calories or artery clogging coconut oil deterred me, it was the prices! Grasp your pearls, the cost of two movie tickets, a drinks and popcorn can run you upwards of $32. Uhm, can someone say Netflix?

Uhmmm, Excuse me… What happened to Faizon Love and Kali Hawk in the UK advertisement of  ‘Couples Retreat’?
