"Paid for lack of perfomance"

Man sues neighbor for failing to get his wife pregnant!

Oh, how I love a good scandal.

At first, I thought this story was just unfortunate because this sterile guy paid another unaware sterile guy to impregnate his wife and allowed them to repeatedly hook up for months - but then it just got better and better. This is the stuff good neighborhood drama is made of, I tell ya.

A GERMAN man is sueing his neighbor after he failed to get his wife pregnant.

Demetrius Soupolos, 29, from Stuttgart, Germany, paid his neighbour to have sex with his wife so that she would fall pregnant.

But after several months and no pregnancy the neighbor went for a test and was also found to be sterile.

Now Demetrius is sueing to get a refund." [Source]

However, what they didn't mention (which I discovered through very clever further investigation because this just wasn't making sense) was that the neighbor who was paid to repeatedly sleep with Demetrius' wife for about six months found out he was sterile after Demetrius demanded he see a doctor. Of course this didn't make sense said neighbor was married with children. . .

. . .How'd that happen? Well, his two children weren't his and his wife was force to confess to it after he started questioning how he could possibly shoot blanks but still have two kids running around. Tsk, tsk.

All this drama because he needed $2,500. If everyone would have just kept minding their own business this would have never happened.

"Gun control gone wrong"

Soldier Shot, Killed While Teaching Wife Gun Safety

OLYMPIA — A Fort Lewis soldier is dead after being accidentally shot in the head and killed by his wife in Olympiam the Thurston County Sheriff's Office says." [Source- Seattle Times]

This woman "claims" her husband, a Fort Lewis soldier who probably has a somewhat extensive background in gun usage, was accidentally shot while trying to teach her how to correctly use a gun. Apparently he decided to teach her how to shoot around 1:30 in the morning and she was holding it when she unintentionally shot him right between the eyes.

Um. What?

I've heard of some freak, ironic accidents and I'm a big fan of the series Dead Like Me because of its malicious humor but come on now. Who is she trying to fool here? As of right now authorities have not named her as a suspect but with the investigation pending I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Then again, everyone's innocent until proven guilty - so what do I know?

I'm just sayin'. . .

"Catch a falling lover"

Man dies trying to catch suicidal girlfriend as she jumps from 7th floor

I understand the intent, I do, but come on, Wang. . .

A Chinese man was killed last week after trying to catch his suicidal girlfriend as she jumped from the seventh floor of their Quanzhou apartment building in south-eastern China.

The young man, only identified as Wang, tried to break the woman’s fall by holding out his arms, witnesses said. He was killed by the impact of her body landing on top of him, according to Perth Now.

His girlfriend survived the fall, suffering only from bone fractures and other injuries. She was not in critical condition and expected to make a full recovery." [Source]

I know it happened in China, but I could definitely see someone exercising this type of nonsensical behavior here in the US. I always side with the victim, so I'm furious at the fact that the suicidal girlfriend is expected to make a full recovery while Wang is six-feet-under for being her human fall breaker. Ain't that about a b*tch?

I'm sure now more than ever that she's ready to make a second attempt at that jump.

What would you do if you saw someone you loved hurdling towards the sidewalk? I'll be honest -- I'd probably have a panic attack and start crying on the spot. Even with a hysterical flowing of tears I'd still know I can't catch them and live. Not even a little bit.

"Dear wife of a trifiling man,"

Cops snitching to the wives of prostitute clients!

Stop snitching? I think not.

Soon wives could receive letters from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department letting them know when their husbands are arrested for soliciting prostitutes.

“I don’t think it’s people’s right to do that. I really don’t,” said Trishanne LaFreniere, a woman who opposes the letter.

“She has the right to know,” said Laurie Thuma, who likes the idea of alerting wives. “This impacts her on many levels, including her health.”

Even the men in Escambia County can’t seem to agree whether or not the letter is a good idea.

“This letter’s making you guilty before you get your day in court,” emphasized Jeff Hughes. “You need therapy. You need help. You don’t need to be lambasted by your wife.”[Source]

I don't know about you, but from what I've seen [okay, read] when you're eager to enjoy the company of hookers usually you're also not willing to admit to it - and you're definitely not going to tell your wife/girlfriend. Come on now. Of course some men are arguing that this "snitching" from the police isn't giving them a fair trial with their wife and making them guilty before proven innocent. . .

. . .They must not have read the memo that said with relationships you're always guilty until proven innocent. It's sad, some say you have trust issues but the fact still remains that this isn't the United States Justice system - this is real life. If you can survive being accused of soliciting sexual favors then maybe I'll be quiet, but until then the woman has the right to know if you're coming home with a smile on your face but sharing chlamydia with her.

"How far is too far for a friend"?

Ohio Man Kills Self After Realizing He Ran Over Friend!

So that was completely uncalled for on so many levels.

SAGAMORE HILLS, Ohio — An Ohio man fatally shot himself in the head moments after realizing he had run over a friend, who also died, police said.

Summit County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Cottle said witnesses saw Erich Schultz and Stacy DiJulius arguing Saturday night in a parking lot after both had been drinking at a bar in Sagamore Hills, about 20 miles south of Cleveland.

Schultz, 38, tried to drive away in his Jeep, but DiJulius attempted to get into the vehicle as it moved and fell under one of the tires, Cottle said. He added that it appeared Schultz accidentally ran over DiJulius and that he felt so bad about it he then took out a gun and shot himself." [Source- Fox News]

The woman died at the hospital, and the "suicide victim" was pronounced dead later as well. What boggles my mind is how authorities just assume he killed himself because he accidentally ran her over. There are some missing pieces here, but from what I understand drinking + arguing in a parking lot ='s the recipe for some bad decisions.

Nevertheless, plotholes or not - you heard it from me. If he in fact did shoot himself in the head because of an immediate wave of guilt I know he is kicking himself looking down on this. . .or up at it. Whichever works.

Follow-up: "Cruelty to Elders."

Lady who got caught exercising husband to death finally getting sentenced!



Last month in Middlefield, Ohio I mentioned this 40 y/o transgendered woman trying to kill her 70-something-year-old husband by having him swim lap after lap in the pool for no particular reason. Now they believe that she was doing it so she could get his retirement benefits [of course].


Police say she forced James Mason, who had heart disease, to do stressful activity in an indoor pool for more than two hours. He collapsed and died the next day after Chris Mason authorized his removal from life support.

She is to be sentenced Friday and could get up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to reckless homicide."

Foxnews recently mentioned that after interviewing family members, their relationship didn't even seem to be romantic. From the history provided in the article I'm going to have to agree that they weren't exactly a match made in heaven.

The whole story is just kind of, well. . .cooky. For lack of a better word. Not that I don't cover other unusual stories, but this one just doesn't seem to be sitting well with me.

"Blame it on the alcohol"

Floridian kills girlfriend over beer -- & then some!!

A Florida man confessed to killing his girlfriend during an argument over beer and then tried to have sex with her corpse.

Robert Conde, 41, told police he and Ruth Ann Trueblood were drinking together outdoors when she told him he couldn’t have more beer.

The Fort Lauderdale resident got so upset, he threw the defenseless 46-year-old woman on her back and punched her face until he knew she was dead.

Conde then took off her pants and tried to have sex with the body before covering it up and lying next to it." [Source- Miami Herald]

Ughhh.

Alrighty. I am sooo tired of the handful of alcholic songs T-Pain's technologically mixed voice has on every radio station, but the title seemed very fitting. Some man (aka Robert Conde) killed his girl over beer. . .because apparently it's so important. I bet he'll try to plead that he's an alcoholic and needs to get psychological treatment. He probably just threw in that necrophiliac move once he thought about how utterly stupid he would sound saying he killed the poor girl older lady over a Budweiser.

"When the joke's on you"

Remember back in Elementary school when you had pretend marraiges that only lasted from recess until last period? How about just high school freshman year flings? You look back at some of those pictures and remember how cute that person was then but now they look like they've been through a thing or two.

Now imagine that when you two were "married" back in the day it was sorta, kinda, official. .

A 14 year old girl has become the youngest ever to get divorced in Israel - after a rabbinical court ruled that a joke marriage ceremony she'd taken part in was valid.

The girl got accidentally married to a 17-year-old boy after joking around in the schoolyard. The boy recited the Jewish marriage ritual, declared her his wife, and she then accepted a ring from him - in front of witnesses.

Israel's Rabbinical Courts ruled that this - along with what they described as the consummation of the marriage - was enough to make them officially wed. " [Source - It happened in the UK]

That's a little much, but why go through the trouble of planning a mock ceremony without looking up all the facts? Surely she should have had some idea about what she was getting herself into.

Being divorced at 14 is not cute. I'm sure it gives you premature wrinkles or something.

"Lovers may come and go but Herpes is forever"

Woman Unknowingly Infected With Herpes Awarded Nearly $7 Million!

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — A lawyer said a Riverside County jury has awarded nearly $7 million to a 56-year-old woman who was unknowingly infected with herpes by a 77-year-old man.

Attorney Shaun Murphy, who represented the plaintiff, said the defendant knew he had genital herpes for more than 25 years but did not disclose it before his sexual relationship with the woman and did not use a condom." [Source - Fox News]

Absurdity.

I had no idea that you could sue someone for leaving out the fact that they have an incurable disease and get seven million for it. But honestly, that's the least she could have gotten out of the deal. Even at 56-years-old you should be able to play with other elders and not have to worry that after 77 years guys still haven't matured enough to tell you if they have an STD. I'm just sayin'.

Oh well, she's 7 million bucks richer. Cha-ching. All's well that ends well I guess.

"Grindin'"

Not another injured penis!!

A man whose penis met an ill fate with a grinder in Brisbane's north this afternoon has been rushed to hospital.

It is understood the 23-year-old was working in Northgate when he was injured just after 2pm."

[Source - Brisbane Times]

There's nothing like a good old fashion castration to start the week off right. It's a shame because he was only 23-years-old. I'm hoping he got good use out of it for the first 23 years.

Since they didn't want to identify what kind of "grinder" it was that injured him, you'll just have to use your imagination with the picture I've provided. I'm just curious as to why his member was even in a position to be injured. . .aren't you?

*scratches head*

"Just don't online date"

Just don't do it. You've been warned.

A handful of women are romanced out of almost $300,000 in a Nigerian romance hoax

For one woman, the online dating scheme started when the unidentified middle-aged divorcee received text messages last year from a man about 10 years younger than her.

"They said, 'You know, you're a very pretty lady, I like your profile,'" the victim told the Edmonton Sun. "You feel very flattered."

After several more e-mails, instant messages and phone calls, the man promised to come to Canada and marry her.

Then came the requests for money, including one that claimed the man's son was hospitalized and needed three surgeries, the Sun reported. The scheme continued for about five months.

"I had so many friends tell me, 'Don't send money,'" she said. "But you love that person, you believe what they say. You don't want to stop." [Source]

The chances of them finding the band of thieves are slim to none, not to mention that money which is also probably long gone. It's sad, man. It really is. Middle-aged women are the easiest targets.

But ummmm - he said he was coming to Canada to marry you? And you never met? But you've been married before, are accustomed to the usual wedding experience, and still didn't see this hot mess coming? What up with that?

"Why you shouldn't care if he doesn't care"

5 Reasons to skip 'He's just not that into you'

We are all clingy, insane, insecure, naive, trusting idiots, who drive away our boyfriends and potential bfs by being like that. I don’t know about you, but movies that continuously reiterate that I’m completely psycho and clingy tend to turn me off at about the 60 minute mark." [Source - College News]

Ooh, it hurts - doesn't it?

I haven't had the chance to see this movie and I'm really not looking forward to the prospect. My friend suggested we go for [as you can expect] "a girl's night out." Since we're both super singles I'm not seeing the fun in being reminded why, as my great aunt would say: "we can't keep a man."

I do think it's cute, though. The premise. And from the way that chick is ranting - somewhat true. However, there's nothing even remotely appealing about being reminded why you're insecure and then being mocked for being insecure. In what realm of crazy is that okay?

Then again the single ladies might enjoy it more than any girl who's in a commited relationship. Your mind will be insidiously flooded with doubts about your man and what you think you have. Those who celebrated V-Day solo can actually take a sigh of relief because there's nothing to wonder about if it's not there to begin with.

"V-Day misunderstanding"

Valentine lover recreates rose petal scene from American Beauty.






Lesley Heague booked a hotel's penthouse suite and covered the bed in red rose petals to act out the provocative sequence from the 1999 blockbuster.

The blonde 25-year-old even hired a photographer to capture her version of the scene, made famous by actress Mena Suvari, for a personalised card.

[Source]

This would have been a really sweet gesture. . imagine that? Buying thousands of rose petals to recreate your boyfriend's favorite movie, booking a suite, hiring a photographer, getting little greeting cards made - the works! Then you find out that what you thought was American Beauty should have really been American Gangster. Smack yourself. Twice for emphasis.

I think what she tried to do would have been extra perfect if it were for the correct movie [obviously]. I just don't think there's a scene in American Gangster that would have been appropriate for a Valentine's Day movie-themed weekend. . .was there?

& I bet the guy wasn't even grateful that she had at least made the effort. Hmph. I'm not bitter, I'm just sayin'.

"Reason number 1 for why you shouldn't take Facebook seriously"

"MIAMI — Katherine Evans said she was frustrated with her English teacher for
ignoring her pleas for help with assignments and a brusque reproach when she
missed class to attend a school blood drive.

So Ms. Evans, who was then a high school senior and honor student, logged
onto the networking site Facebook
and wrote a rant against the teacher, Sarah Phelps."

Long story short, Katie Evans now has on her permanent record that she got pissed off with her teacher and earned herself 3-day suspension for whining about it on Facebook. *sigh* I'm all for social networking websites and freedom of speech [clearly] but the girl went so far as to basically create a hate group targeting her teacher. That's a little much, don'tcha think?

“You can express an opinion on whether someone is a good teacher,” said Pamela
Brown, assistant director for the Broward County School District who oversees
expulsions. “But when you start inviting people to say that they hate a teacher,
that crosses the line.”

[Source - NY Times]

I'm sure this girl thought that starting the post, getting feedback, and then removing it within a week wasn't going to come back and bite her, but it seems she was wrong. In less than two months after making the post she was called down to the principal's office and got her little sentence of suspension.

She's now attending the University of Florida as a freshman and is only suing her principal to get her record cleared. She doesn't even care about them trying to OD on her life by blowing this out of complete proportion. It's only Facebook. No one was hurt. It's not like she was saying the teacher commited some felony.

I just think it's a little much on both parts. No, Katie should not have gotten other Facebook-ers involved in throwing dirt on the teachers' name and No, I don't think she should have gotten suspended. No harm, no foul. I think it's safe to say she learned her lesson. Just let this be a warning to those who like to excersize free speech though - It's okay as long as you don't start a group targeting one person, apparently.
