I promise I didn't cheat honey, it was the 3D porno!

Jennifer Stweart (the last name’s not a typo) had a baby. Her son is a beautiful little thing with a huge mop of curly black hair. There’s nothing abnormal about that right?
Well, here’s the thing. 39 y.o Stweart found out she was pregnant whilst her husband was overseas, because he is a soldier in the US Army.

Still, not that weird.
I’m assuming that he had been home recently, and well naturally thought the baby was his.

Well, THIS is where it gets interesting. When Stweart gave birth to her son- he was black. Wait for the punch line… Stweart and her husband are both white.
So it seems a little obvious right? Stweart must have had an affair… Not according to her though.
Stweart claims that on a trip to New York, she watched a 3D porno. (Firstly, a 3D porno…? Please explain) And wouldn’t you believe it? Her baby son looks EXACTLY like the male lead in the porno she claims.
Um, please forgive my cynicism, but really? REALLY? You think you got pregnant by watching a 3D porno?


As I read the article, a few things crossed my mind. Firstly, she was watching the film with friends, I mean I know you share a lot with friends, but surely that’s a little far. Secondly, she was watching the film with friends, and I’m sure I don’t need to give the birds and the bee’s lesson here, so given the fact we KNOW how pregnancy occurs, um what were you doing whilst watching the porno Jennifer Stweart? AND WITH YOUR FRIENDS! Thirdly, a 3D porno, huh? Fourthly, a 3D porno, what? And finally, a 3D porno…WHAT.THE.HECK?


According to Stweart, she started having pregnancy symptoms a month after watching the film.
The most bizarre thing is (if anything could be more bizarre), the husband BELIEVES his wife. She says that he ‘knows she is faithful’, but also says their marriage could be in trouble.

Well duh. Your marriage was in trouble the moment you gave birth to a (gorgeous might I add) black baby, when both you and your husband are white.

I came across this article the other day from website The News Bizarre, but to go straight to the article go to this link.


I bet Tiger Woods wishes he had thought of something like this when all his infidelities came to light. ‘I’m so sorry sweetie; I thought I was watching a 3D porno!’

Sorry Aker, that just doesn't sit well with me...

Jason Akermanis' article in today's Herald Sun has caused controversy. Rightly so too, Akermanis can't expect to write on such a sensitive topic and not get back lash from the general public.
Let's recap what the article is about (This link will take you to the article). Akermanis' opinion piece titled 'Stay in the closet' suggests that gay AFL player's shouldn't 'out' themselves. Firstly, I can't stress the point enough that Aker is NOT gay bashing here. He states numerous times that he is not homophobic, the article is based more around the opinion that the AFL are not ready for gay players (to come 'out').
Excuse me Jason Akermanis, but can I please point out we are in the year 2010, where sexuality is something that (most) people celebrate, and homosexuality is not a taboo subject.
Before I get any deeper into this subject- No, this post is not going to be about how 'stupid' Aker's comments are. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; Aker no exception here. I actually admire the fact he is so openly expressing them- I just don't agree with them, at all.
I belive that there are gay players in the AFL. I believe there are some that the public will never know about, and that is the PLAYER's decision, no one elses.
I'm also willing to bet that a lot of the gay players are confused about their sexuality. It must be such a struggle to deal with their sexuality, let alone dealing with it whilst playing such a 'macho' sport, surrounded by 'macho' men.
An article like this, would NOT help things Aker.
If player's want to stay 'in the closet'- that's their decision. If they want to 'come out'- that's their decision.
As I write this I'm watching the channel 10 news.
Sydney coach Paul Roos has said 'to hear comments like this in 2010 is just bizarre.' (Note: This may not be the exact quote, but it's definately close to it.)
Aker's article has also stunned some of his team members and others around the Western Bulldogs Football Club.
Like I've already said, I completely respect Aker's opinion. And I even agree with his statement that 'being the first AFL player to come out, (would be) too big a burden for any player.'
Definately, BUT given the fact we are in the year 2010, there would be an abundance of councelling, support and acceptance from the player's team, supporters and the general public.
Of-course there is going to be on-field sledging, but there is sledging about EVERY single topic you can imagine. Plus, I'm nearly 100% sure that the player's team members would have that said players back.
You only have to look at the players that have today said that Aker's comments are unusual, Collingwood player Heath Shaw even says there are different characters within every club.

Jason Akermanis- your opinions do have merit, and I understand them as you trying to spare a gay player having to go through unnecessary 'torture' from other players and the community.
However, I do think people can be surprising, and if/when a player decides to publicly decalre they are homosexual, on their own accord, there would be nothing but support and admiration.
You can't tell people what to do Aker, now that is just a fact of life.

Leave a comment, I'm keen to hear about everyone's views on the issue. I'm also keen to see what the AFL board says, Aker isn't generally known for keeping quite about his opinion.

Justin Bieber and his Beaver Fever

If any one reads this and says Justin who? I love you. I seriously just want to kiss you.

16 year old “pop singing sensation” Bieber caused absolute havoc whilst in Australia.
I thought girls being crushed, hyperventilating and being sent to hospital at one of your shows was reserved for rock and roll royalty.
Apparently not.

Bieber looks not a day older than 12 but has still managed to have his performance called off by police because of tweens going wild. I think we’ve just entered an alternate universe.
Unfortunately, Bieber fever has hit Australia.

Backtracking a bit, this VERY young boy was discovered on Youtube, and since then, Bieber has turned into a world sensation. Oh dear, that very concept hurts my head.

Now back to Monday morning- The free performance, which was set up by channel seven’s Sunrise, was forced to be called off when police couldn’t contain thousands of teen girls. I don’t doubt this for a second- Have you seen teen girls recently!? Every second one thinks they’re going to be the next Lindsey or Paris (okay yes, not every teen girl is like this, but for the purpose of imagining what happened let’s pretend they are). The police where pretty quick to ask where these thousands of girls’ parents were, and I completely agree. Where were they are? If so many travelled from inter-state to see him, surely their parents did not let them travel alone? Surely parents did not let their kids go out at 12.30am the night before, to line up and get the best spot to see Bieber perform, by themselves?

(Picture from http://idolator.com ; Bieber showing fans some love from behind a glass window after his perfromance was cancelled)

The ‘tragedy’ (Youtube Bieber Sydney and watch how some of the girls react to the news that performance had been cancelled…) of the event did bring with it some ‘funniness’, provided mainly by the, ahem, ‘older’ generation.
My Dad, in particular, always asks whenever Bieber comes up on the news or radio ‘Jason Beaver and his Beaver Fever!!’
Yeah Dad, JUSTIN BIEBER did come to Australia, and certainly spread the Fever.

And I for one am glad he’s gone. New Zealand, I hope you’re ready for a case of the Beaver Fever.

Has everyone gone barking mad?

It really baffles me as to how this became an overnight sensation.
VIDEO: Barking dog man

Okay, yes, I get that it's funny.
BUT what were people typing into youtube and search engines to find this video, that's what has me utterly confused.
Apparently numerous facebook group and fan pages have been set up for Ray Graham (the man in the clip) as well.
The video (first seen on A Current Affair) has even found air time in America.

Why do you think this has become so popular?

Mama Mia

I just finished reading Mama Mia by Mia Freedman. Apart from the fact it is absolutely hilarious that it had me nearly wetting myself at some points, it is an honest portrayal of the "glamorous" aspects of the magazine industry. Freedman's style of writing is refreshing and down to earth, as is her candidness about many personal experiences- including a bad relationship and the loss of an unborn baby.

Freedman is a popular blogger, but would most likely be mostly known for her work as Editor of Cosmopoliton Magazine. She is also an advocate for body image.

Definately a must read for anyone looking to break into the world of magazines. I'd also recomend it to any woman who struggles to balance career, family and everything in between.

A massive two thumbs up!

Check out her blog too! http://www.mamamia.com.au/

Personal Style Inventory

According to the Personal Style Inventory, I'm an INFJ.

INFJ's like to build theoretical models that relate to people and serve humanitarian goals; their writing often reflects this inclination. Their iNtuitive/Feeling preferences give them clear visions of how the world will benefit; the Judging preference ensures their confidence in their version of the future. As a result, they may feel frustrated when others do not share their vision. Their dominant iNtuitive preference often leads them to think about the next project before finishing the current one. INFJ's really believe in what they write and tend to feel connected to their writing long after it’s published.



STRENGTHS
-Original thinkers who can personalize abstract theories.
-Think through ideas clearly before writing them.
-Tend to include personal values in writing to ensure clarity.
-Persevering.


CHALLENGES
-May be reluctant to share their best ideas—keep ideas to themselves.
-Can become blocked by trying to make everything too original.
-Writing may be too formal or academic in tone for business audiences.
-Should let go before alienating the audience.

Sounds like me, what do you think?

S.h.o.p.p.i.n.g

I realised today that I am such a stereotypical girl when it comes to shopping, and that you must be very prepared or extremely nutty to go shopping with me.
(So thank you Tegan, Katie & Mel for braving the storm.. ha!)
But I don't understand it, what is it about shopping that makes a girl go crazy and spend money that she doesn't have as soon as she walks into a shopping centre?
If anyone knows, feel free to tell me please, it may save A LOT of money.
My theory is it makes you feel good when you go shopping and buy things that you don't necessarily need, well actually, that you don't need at all, but seem to be so important to have at the time (like the $15 jumper that I bought today, purely because of the fact I was thrilled it was only $15).
If only I was as dedicated to doing homework and study as I am to shopping.. hmm could solve many problems.
Hope everyone is still enjoying PWE!
