While You Were Sleeping: The Pregnant Lady Lingerie Controversy

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Think this'll stop those incessant rumors about Clay Aiken?

You know it was bound to happen sooner or later... we just wish people had gotten used to the idea of California's gay marriages before they have to get used to the idea of California gay divorces. 

Speaking of California, damn place is s'crazy, man's gotta run a brothel to supplement his assistant principal gig. (That's a Johnny Cash reference, in case you were wondering.)

A judge tossed a hardcore Christian's lawsuit against his former company, saying the man had insufficient evidence to back up his claim to having been fired for refusing to join co-workers for a night out at a strip club. 

Espresso Gone Wild will have to cover up or stop serving coffee in Washington state. 

A woman in Tennessee won local office with the one and only vote in that race: her own. 

You probably already heard, but just in case: Bernie Mac, 50, died over the weekend after a bout of pneumonia and Isaac Hayes was found dead at 65 near his still-running treadmill.  

M.I.A. is taking some flack for her supposed support for a terrorist group. 

And who the fuck makes a fuss about a pregnant woman being sexy? This is beyond stupid, even for a conservative-leaning country like England: customer complaints forced the female owner of a lingerie shop to remove a mannequin with a "baby bump."

She told BBC Look North: "It started with people looking in the window and making comments outside and they told me their points of view that they found it offensive.

"Other shop traders also told me that people were saying to them that it was offensive and that I should cover her up or move her.

"So I put a camisole on Emily and someone else made another comment, saying that they could still see the bump, so I put her in the corner of the shop away from the window."

Seriously? This from an American commentator?

Talk about the pot and the fucking kettle......

Wait, so you're saying that because America is conservative, then England isn't? We're not saying America isn't conservative here, we're just saying that England is (as well.) If you don't believe me, look at the Mayor of London, the Prime Minister, recent elections, etc. etc.

Oh. All right. I thought you were being derogatory in the old 'England is so quaint with their little tea cups and bowler hats, I bet they've never even heard of sodomy' way.

Now I see I was wrong.

Withdrawn.
