Manhattan executive spots a porn shoot being filmed in neighboring building



Well, this is the kind of thing that doesn’t happen every day. You’re at work, you read a boring report for the umpteenth time, look out the window and BAM!



Daily Mail



A New York executive got an
unexpected show from his office window this week - when he noticed what appeared to be a porn shoot outside his window.













The consulting executive, who declined to be named, was distracted from his work on Third Avenue when he noticed a scantily clad blonde woman wearing a garter belt and stockings across the way.



And, to his surprise, it appeared to be a film crew shooting the woman striking a series of provocative poses.



In front of her, a man appears to shoot the scene.

The executive sent his iPhone snaps, taken on Monday, to editors at Curbed.com.



He called the voyeuristic sighting 'a New York Lottery of sorts,' noting the chance sighting in a city so congested you never know what you might see through an open window

Woman Halina Jane Gillett Sues Doc Over Her Own Birth

We just love to sue, don’t we?

The Huffington Post

25-year-old woman is suing the doctor who delivered her when she was a baby, saying she would not have medical difficulties from erb's palsy today if he had just conducted a caesarean birth like her mother requested, according to news reports.

Halina Jane Gillett was born in 1985 in a hospital in Newcastle, Australia. Her mother, Marilyn Benson-Inglis, requested a C-section from her obstetrician Professor Jeffrey Robinson because the pregnancy was "much bigger" than her previous three pregnancies, Australia's The Telegraph reported.

Protestors stripped nude naked on Wall Street to protest naked corporate greed



I think we should have a lot of these types of protests. Maybe there should be naked protest over high New York taxes? Bring in Pamela Anderson for that one.



New York Post

Wall Street hasn't seen cojones this big since Gordon Gekko.

A horde of 50 "actors" -- mostly disguised as dapper day traders -- suddenly stripped off their clothes and frolicked around Wall Street early yesterday morning in a bizarre protest of corporate greed.

Three of the bare-bottomed bozos -- initially dressed as a CEO, dog walker and janitor -- were collared by cops.

Christine Coleman, 22, of Queens, Eric Anderson, 31, and Aaron Mattocks, of Brooklyn, were charged with disorderly conduct and exposure for showing off their dangling commodities
Each was released with a desk summons.

But their cohorts got away scot-free in the stunt, which had been six months in the making.

The 50 actors doffed their duds at about 7 a.m. as part of a performance piece by artist Zefrey Throwell titled "Ocularpation: Wall Street."

They had descended on the Financial District playing the roles of street sweepers and secretaries. Within four minutes of baring it all, everyone dressed and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
"I saw a lady standing in front of a building and she was buck naked!" said Gamal Abouelkhair, 54, a coffee-cart owner.

The Alaskan-born Throwell, a recent transplant to New York, planned the stunt as a way to knock the buttoned-up Wall Street culture down a notch.

Yuk-Sandy McMillin Allegedly Kicked Out Of Walmart For Wearing A String Bikini

I’m sorry but I wouldn’t like to see that at Walmart if I was trying to shop either.

The Huffington Post

Walmart just lost what we imagine would have been a lifelong customer.


Sandy McMillin decided to take her bikini body to Eugene, Oregon's big box store to pick up some sour cream, chips and coffee creamer in 90-degree heat. And she told KVAL News that a Walmart employee approached her only several minutes into her shopping trip and gave her two options: put on a shirt or get out.

McMillin said, "I was horrified. I am embarrassed....It's wrong. If you don't like the way someone looks, don't look at them....I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish."

If she doesn’t want to shop there anymore, I say that’s great!

TV reporter doused with water as she knocks on door of woman Aimee Rachlin arrested for leaving a baby in boiling car

Here’s another example of a woman that doesn’t deserve to be a parent

Daily Mail

All she had to do was say 'no comment'.



But when the mother of a woman arrested for leaving her baby girl in a boiling car found a reporter at her front door, she decided actions would speak louder than words.



Hilarious video footage shows the moment the woman took her daughter's PR into her own hands, throwing a bucket of cold water over TV reporter Christine Insinga's head.

Catherine Kieu Becker Accused Of Cutting Off Her Estranged Husband's Penis


I’m sure most women knee-jerk reaction is that the guy deserved it. But that’s a load of crap!

If a husband cut off his wife’s breasts, how would women like that? This woman should have just left and get away from the dude. Cutting off dicks is not the answer.

The Huffington Post

A wife is accused of cutting off the penis of her estranged husband. She was arrested late last night after investigators responded to a 911 call and is now in custody at the Orange County Jail.

Catherine Kieu Becker of Garden Grove reportedly prepared dinner for her husband and put a poisonous substance or drug in his food to make him drowsy, reports KTLA. While the man was sleeping, Becker allegedly tied him to the bed. When he awakened, Becker cut his penis off with a knife and threw it into the garbage disposal, turning it on as she did so.

Lt. Jeff. Nightengale told NBC LA that Becker called 911 at around 10 p.m. requesting emergency assistance. Nightengale said that Becker "told responding officers that he 'deserved it.'" Nightengale also revealed that the married couple was going through a divorce.

Nightengale spoke with the HuffPost and confirms that the victim has been upgraded to stable or good condition and is being treated at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange. Nightengale also says that pieces of the severed member were recovered from the crime scene and transported to the hospital with the victim last night, but he has no details on how the surgery went. Police hope to interview the victim either today or tomorrow.

Becker has been charged with "aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse," according to the Associated Press. The most serious of these charges is "aggravated mayhem," which carries a life sentence with possibility of parole (as opposed to just "mayhem," which has a sentence of 3-5 years).

Zappos' New Ad Campaign using naked models


I like when a company comes up with the most convoluted reasons asto why they use naked women in their ads.

They just don’t want to come out and say, “Sex sells!”

Stylelist.com

The New York Times just reported that Zappos' fall ad campaign, which will hit the pages of Lucky, In Style, Cosmo and Harper's Bazaar in August, features models performing tasks such as riding a scooter, jogging and hailing a cab ... in the nude.

Tim Vaccarino, group creative director at Mullen, Zappos' ad agency, told the Times, "Zappos has a quirky culture ... Doing something typical is not really them." And Michelle Thomas, Zappos' senior brand marketing manager, said that the very simple idea of using models in need of clothes to sell clothes was the point of the campaign, observing that when advertisers get too creative, sometimes the message gets lost.

Texas woman gives birth to 16 lb baby


I hear he already knows how to read!

CBS News

Texas native Janet Johnson had a baby shower recently, she had been told by her doctors that her soon-to-arrive son would be big. So, she told her friends "to not get any newborn stuff," reports CBS affiliate KYTX-TV.

Little did she know how right she was. On Sunday, Janet gave birth to a 16-pound boy, named JaMichael Brown.

"When they pulled the baby out, they could tell that he was huge," Janet told KYTX. "And then they weighed him."

JaMichael may be the biggest baby ever born in a state known for going big, and the average size of a newborn is around 7 and a half pounds. Not only did JaMichael weigh in at 16 pounds and one ounce, but he was two feet long.
Janet was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, which may have contributed to JaMichael's size, reports KYTX

"It's a beautiful baby, but for health reasons we'd rather not see a baby this large. They can have a little harder time maintaining their blood sugar," said nurse Mary Beth Smith, who helped deliver the baby.

Doctors placed baby JaMichael in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where he is receiving breathing and eating assistance.

Still, Janet said she is optimistic about her newest child, her fourth.
"First thing I asked - was he okay," said Janet. "They said yes."

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the biggest newborn baby ever was born to Anna Bates of Canada in 1879, who weighed a whopping 23 pounds, 12 ounces, but died 11 hours later. Recently, an Indonesian woman gave birth to a 19.2 pound infant, reports imperfectparent.com.

Whoops! Presidential seal falls off Obama’s limo-Ironic symbolism for a crumbling presidency


People may think I’m making too much of this, but I don’t think so. Although the media won’t report it because they already have their marching orders, President Obama’s is fading fast. The ounce thought of messiah is showing that he’s got feet of clay as he rides around saying, “Eat the rich!”


Philly.com

There's nothing quite like that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you just know that you've lost something important.

It happens to people all the time - especially travelers.

Some folks leave a favorite T-shirt behind in a hotel room. Others drop a set of keys at the airport.

Just ask, ahem, President Obama. Seems the big guy lost a magnetic presidential seal that was affixed to the side of his limousine as he wrapped up a fundraising visit to Philly on Thursday.

The seal flew off the side of the limo and whipped by motorists in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 76, where it was presumed lost . . . until shortly before noon yesterday.

‘Do as You’re Told’: Here‘s How Australian Tobacco Companies Are Fighting the ’Nanny State’


I’m not a smoker!

However, I feel for people who are because they have become social pariahs thanks to the workings activists and the Nanny State.

If smoking is so terrible, why not totally ban the sale of it? Maybe the loss of tax revenue for the government has something to do with it?

Hmm!


The Blaze

Recently The Blaze reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration releasing nine new and grotesque warning labels for cigarette packs. The labels feature graphic images, including corpses, rotting teeth and gums, and a man with a tracheotomy smoking, along with the phrases “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer.”

But while proponents of the anti-smoking campaign see this as a victory in the public health arena, others fear it is a major step towards an all-intrusive Nanny State. It makes one wonder if they will start displaying photos of a cirrhosised liver on liquor bottles, or a list of all diabetes-related ailments on a box of Twinkies.

Sarah Palin to attend premiere of The Undefeated in Iowa

When I read this I thought Sarah was attending the showing of one of my favorite John Wayne films.

My bad, the movie chronicles Palin’s rise to fame and features prominent conservatives like Mark Levin and Andrew Breitbart.

But, the Wayne film is fantastic!

Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin’s marriage may not be as solid as his crotch shot


I was telling a friend at work that Weiner’s wife not being at his side was a huge statement as to the true state of their marriage.

A woman that takes a vow of “for better or worse” should have been right at his side during his press conference showing her support. That was the moment to prove she took her vows seriously.

Andrea Peyser views this a little differently but agrees that wifey and Weiner may be splitsville.

Paul Krugman is unsustainable in his present form: Says there’s nothing wrong with Medicare



I think I’ve been banned from Memeorandum because I wrote a post disagreeing with Paul Krugman, the “Yoda” the Left.
Today, Paul has come out with another one of his pronouncements Liberals will no doubt hang their hats on this week.

Liberals love to introduce Krugman as a Nobel Prize winner in economics. But, I think the majority of Americans aren’t impressed by this anymore because they know it’s an award offered by Liberals to other Liberals they like. Let’s get real, folks. President Obama was given the Nobel Prize after serving hours as president. So that award has been forever rendered relevant only to the Left.

Krugman believes Medicare is okay in its present form.


Paul Krugman

So this business about Medicare in its present form being unsustainable sounds wise but is actually a stupid slogan. The solution to the future of Medicare is Medicare — smarter, less open-ended, but recognizably the same program.

More here

So the people who have been administering Medicare haven’t been smart enough, or at least not as smart as Paul Krugman.

Thanks Paul for clearing this up for us mere mortals that don’t have your intelligence.

But, I’m still not grasping what Krugman means by “open ended”. Far be it from me to complain that a Nobel Prize winner didn’t offer up a specific example of what the heck he meant. Not smart enough I guess.

But it does sound like Krugman has a problem with seniors living to a ripe old age and the medical costs associated with that. Are you bringing back the dreaded “death panels” Paul? Is this the smarter way to do Medicare?

Maybe Krugman needs to write another article.

There! That’ll keep me off Meme a few more weeks.

Haunting final picture of young mother Crystal Sweet taken just hours before she and boyfriend were shot dead


This is the unfortunate side of living in the projects in NYC where life can be snatched away for no good reason by a mysterious gunman. In the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn a 5 year old little girl has to face life with a mom.

Why?

That’s for the NYPD to find out if people are willing to come forward.

Daily Mail

This is the haunting final photograph of a young mother who was gunned down in a triple shooting that left her boyfriend dead and his brother fighting for his life in hospital.

Crystal Sweet, 22, was believed to be pregnant with her second child when she was shot in the courtyard of a building in Brooklyn, New York, as she made her way home from an all-night party.

She had been photographed just hours before as she left for her night out on Saturday, looking happy and relaxed in an orange dress with a matching handbag.
Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Timothy Walter, who had spent time in prison and was in parole, was shot dead at point blank range during the attack, at about 5am on Sunday.

Miss Sweet, still wearing her beautiful dress, was shot three times in the head and neck. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Walter's elder brother, Cornelius, was also shot several times, and is in a critical condition in Kings County Hospital.

Miss Sweet had got all dressed up to go to a barbecue in Bedford-Stuyvesant with Cornelius earlier that evening, leaving her five-year-old daughter, Lydia, at home with her mother.

According to the Post the pair were met by Miss Sweet's boyfriend when they got off the bus at Sheepshead Bay, where she lived with her family.
Her mother, Josephine Rodriguez, 44, said she was sleeping inside the apartment when the gunshots woke
