This is just too much! And we love it!

LA: Porn Legally Bound To Use Condoms? →
Huh.
See I would have thought this was something that had been dealt with already. How can someone who works in that industry be that careless with their health?

In regards to how Hollywood, and “The Help” screwed up history.

This.
Is.
Amazing.
The full documentary The perfect Vagina!
If you have time, this is a must watch. The documentary covers a great deal of information, but mainly explores vaginal plastic surgery and why women feel they must do this.

The Santa Delusion: Why 'Religion Is Useful' Is a... →
“But religion is useful. It makes people happy. It comforts people in hard times. It makes people better-behaved. And losing religious faith can be traumatic. So what difference does it make if it isn’t true? Shouldn’t we be perpetuating it anyway — or at least leaving it alone? Why do you want to persuade people out of it?”

Solar-Powered Bikini Charges Electronics →
This is just ridiculous. I mean, you want to power your electronics with the sun? More power to you. But, how about just a small solar cell you can put in your beach bag? Hmm? Sound better than something that has failsafes that keep you from electrocuting yourself when you go in the water?
