So the news that they can actually cause you physical damage is going to bring about quite a few sadfaces I’m sure.
According to ABC’s interview with Dr Karen Boyle from the Greater Baltimore Medical Center – lots of women have been to see her because of the pain that they are experiencing from wearing really tight jeans.

Art Exhibition By Jennifer Rubell features Female Mannequin Nutcrackers
New York based artist Jennifer Rubell’s Nutcracker exhibition is likely to get the debate about whether modern art is actually artistic or not going again and will probably get more than a few people talking about sexuality and female empowerment as well!
The Nutcracker exhibition features 18 life-sized, nude female mannequins that are positioned horizontally, held up two metal poles, one going into the upper torso and the other into the leg just above the knee. One leg is slightly elevated and separated from the hip, so that when the leg is pulled down into the space, a nut can be cracked there – hence the name. Continue Reading

New Illinois Bullying Legislation Prompts Backlash From Christian Groups & Conservatives
Illinois Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, is the sponsor of a bill requiring Illinois schools to discourage bullying.
A new bill in Illinois that would necessitate that schools adopted stringent anti-bullying policies has been met with a great deal of opposition from the Concerned Christians of America and the Illinois Family Institute. These groups are against aspects of the legislation because they feel it would challenge some students’ moral and/or religious beliefs.
Quoted in Christian Science Monitor the Illinois Family Institute claims that the new bills real aim is “to use public education to promote unproven, non-factual beliefs about the nature and morality of homosexuality and ‘transgenderism’.” They see the new bill as merely a guise for “homosexual activist organizations’ and a way for them to ‘indoctrinate’ pupils and teachers.

Will Facebook Help Catch The Disney Cruise iPhone Thief?
Nelson and his alledged girlfriend
This is the brilliant story about a woman named Katy McCaffrey who had her iPhone stolen whilst on a Disney Cruise in April. Fortunately for Katy however, her iPhone’s amazing ‘cloud’ technology sent some photographs taken with the stolen phone straight to her Facebook.
The album went up on Facebook yesterday and is entitled ‘Stolen iPhone Adventures’, since she made the album public, it has received nearly 3,000 shares.
McCaffrey believes that the iPhone was stolen by a Disney Cruise employee named Nelson who appears regularly throughout the album. Though McCaffrey is careful not to directly accuse him of stealing the phone, (it could just be the case that he bought it from the original thief) she has left some hilariously sarcastic and understandably bitter comments underneath all of the pictures taken by Nelson, which suggest that she wholeheartedly believes that he stole the phone.
