The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

My curiosity having been piqued by President Obama becoming the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, I turned to my beloved Wikipedia to find out how many other U.S. presidents have won this prestigious award. Jimmy Carter won it in 2002 for his diplomatic work, but only two other sitting presidents have won the [...]

It’s also incomprehensible. The following article discusses how many Swedish young men (aka: morons) consider becoming infected with chlamydia to be a badge of honor and an affirmation of their manhood:

Chlamydia helps young men feel more ‘manly’: Swedish study
Young men who contract sexually transmitted diseases often view their afflictions as an affirmation of their manhood, [...]

You might have to be an English teacher to truly appreciate this one. In an attempt to transform soon-to-be former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s incoherent mess of a speech into something resembling “publishable shape,” the editorial staff over at Vanity Fair Magazine subjected it to the red (not to mention green and blue) ink treatment:
Here’s [...]

Talk about a cat fight getting seriously out of hand…
The article doesn’t go into a lot of detail so I’m left wondering what the girl said or did to provoke her cousin into almost strangling her to death…with her (the victim’s) own bikini top, no less! The fact that the cousin nearly achieved what [...]

I never really considered myself much of a Michael Jackson fan. I never bought any of his albums. However, once initial shock wore off and the reality of his death hit me, I suddenly felt incredibly sad. It was like part of my childhood just died.
Despite his recent legal troubles and increasingly bizarre behavior, [...]

In case you hadn’t heard already, President Obama swatted a fly during a recent CNBC interview, and PETA is none too pleased about it. Here’s the video in question, during which the President demonstrates his James Bond coolness and kills the fly in a very presidential manner: swiftly and decisively. Afterwards he celebrates for a [...]

The plot comes to a boil and thickens.
Just days after the operators of the Pirate Bay were convicted of being “accessories” to copyright infringement, it has emerged that the judge in the case is, in fact, a member of several copyright protection organizations, including the one bringing the case against the Pirate Bay. Although [...]

Well, it’s all over folks. Both sides have stated their cases and the verdict is in. The biggest and baddest villains in the history of the world, otherwise known as the operators of The Pirate Bay, are guilty! GUILTY!! of the disgusting crime of being accessories to copyright infringement. Justice has prevailed! …uh, sort [...]

Wow. I’m just…stunned.
Apparently, a prosecutor from Gävle, Sweden believes that prescribing birth control pills to girls under the age of fifteen (the legal age of consent here in Sweden) is a crime. Under Swedish law any sexual intercourse (consensual or not) with any one under the age of fifteen is statutory rape. Therefore, according to [...]

Here’s another one for the stupidity category. An elderly Swedish woman went to the pharmacy to pick up her prescription headache pills, and was instead given (quite erroneously) a powerful anti-cancer drug that would have killed her had she gone ahead and taken it.
The woman is partially responsible for the stupidity. She was expecting to [...]
