Chris Brown on the Today Show

Filed under Things that piss me off by on June 8, 2012 at 8:36 am {8 comments}

I don’t understand The Today Show. Can someone explain to me why it’s okay to promote a known abuser and yet they stand in judgement of someone like Nadya Sulemon?

I’m not defending Octomom, I think anyone with more than a handful of kids is crazy but just a generation ago people had lots and lots of kids, and exploited all of them. My ex husband’s parents each came from large families 13 and 15 kids respectively. They were Catholic and farm families so no one shook a finger at them because they were doing what they were told and expected to do. All the kids started working as soon as they were able to. I’m pretty sure CPS were not called in.

And yet The Today Show invites Nadya Sulemon on their show to show the world how she is struggling and yet they don’t offer her some kind of lifeline. Matt Lauer (whom I love) publicly shames her and pretty much tells her she got what she deserved. I’ve never seen such contempt displayed.

And yet they promote Chris Brown, a guy who did this to his girlfriend.

this is what Chris Brown did to Rihanna, battered face, woman who was beat up

They also promote his dumbass girlfriend who keeps going back to him even though she knows what he is likely to do.

Chris Brown already makes millions of dollars as does his girlfriend Rihanna. Nadya Sulemon is struggling something fierce and yet no one will help this woman out. Shame Ocotomom all you want but giving her a hand would help her kids. A lot.

The Today Show has a lot of power here and yet they choose to sit in judgement of her, which prevents other people from producing a reality show about this woman. If millions of people are willing to watch a bunch of Kardashians or stupid kids from NJ and even more are willing to watch Kate and her large brood or that other family with 20 kids and counting (who, I might add, are taking stupidity to another level by continuing to try to procreate when they know it isn’t the wisest choice). If people are willing to waste their time watching those shows I promise you they would watch Ocotomom and all her kids.

Maybe if Nadya Sulemon beat Rihanna to a pulp the Today Show might help her out?

How Did We Survive?

Filed under People by on May 21, 2010 at 5:50 am {114 comments}

Originally this post was going to be about awkward family photos.

In the another blogger gets a book deal file is this fun site about awkward family photos. I figured I could post a few of my family photos that were just as awkward. The post was going to be a little on the snarky side because I am jealous of any blogger who seems to be an overnight success by getting a book deal and winding up on the Today Show.  I’ve been a little testy lately.

In my search for awkward family photos I discovered there weren’t many that were truly awkward. There were several that were funny:

funny looking baby

I don’t know who that baby is but I thought he looked funny.  That is my grandmother and some strange dog, I don’t recognize the house.  This picture was taken in 1966 so that baby would be 44ish now. I apologize if this is you.

This actually is rather awkward. Yep, that’s me, during my long, drawn out, awkward phase. Hey, at least I’m not wearing those pants that my brother is wearing.

I couldn’t find any pictures that were truly horrible but I did find a lot of photos that were interesting and made me wonder how we ever survived growing up back in then.

That’s my brother in his car seat in our family convertible.

That’s me, face down, in the bassinet.

Remember when kids where still allowed to play with guns?

My brother has grown up to be a very calm, reasonable person. To my knowledge he has never picked up a real gun.

I played with dolls as a child.

And finally, the picture that just says so much

Mullet, seven beers, full ashtray, nearly empty salt shaker, fast food, diet mayonnaise because that fixed everything, and Diet Pepsi obviously this picture was taken before Diet Coke was invented. Don’t even get me started on the wallpaper.

*UPDATE*

If you would like to send your survival pictures to me I will feature them here next Friday. You can send your survival photos to redheadshesaid@gmail.com. Please include your name or moniker and blog URL so I can link to you.

National Cupcake Day and Websites to Avoid

Filed under Contests, Huh, No Carbs, People by on March 3, 2010 at 2:06 pm {23 comments}

Today is National Cupcake Day which is ironic considering all the press Lisa Ellis is getting for having her naked body turn up on Wyclef Jean’s cell phone. If it were National Titty Cupcake Day it would be perfect for Miss Ellis. Of course she is busy looking for a new job right now so it probably doesn’t matter to her.

As you all know I can’t have cupcakes today or for the rest of the week because I am still off carbs! Don’t forget to enter the contest to win three bars of Happy Goats Soap. I’ll be picking the winner on Friday.

As a single mom I let my kids go online for way too long and I let them watch way too much TV.  I don’t monitor much for my son anymore but I do for my daughter. She is allowed to watch kid shows and go to online sites specifically for her age group.  Because I am an often broke single mom I don’t give my kids a credit card to use online. We do a lot of trial offers but I don’t buy games for my kids. My son has a job and can buy his own and my daughter can just keep whining.

Not allowing them to use my credit cards or my Paypal account makes me think I have a little control over what they do or don’t do.

Not anymore.

Two sites are out there that want to really mess with parents. I am sure this was the goal when they were created.

The first one is Kwedit. The tagline is Play now, Pay later. The site is for kids, who don’t have credit to be able to buy games online with only their word. They must promise to pay the debt in 7 to 14 days by going to a 7-11 and paying the bill. If they keep their promise and pay their kwedit limit gets increased. If you have kids go to this site now and block it on your computer. I’d rather give them my credit card than have to drive them to a 7-11 once a week. Thankfully we don’t have any 7-11s anymore.

The other site to keep you kids away from is Chatroulette! Chatroulette is a bunch of people on a site with their webcam and sitting in front of their computer waiting for someone to talk to them. Kinda like speed dating or something. The site was created by a 17 year old Russian kid who had no idea what the hell he was doing. He had no agenda, he just thought it would be neat. Right now it might be filled with normal people who are just curious to see who is out there but eventually it will morph into a site for pedophiles. There is no logging in, no profiles to create, no information stored. Just a place for perverts to sit and wait for their next victim.

Don’t you just love the internet? There is something for everyone.
