Every day someone muses about how fast kids are growing up in today’s society; how sexually charged their lives are, how full of mixed messages.
“Kids don’t get to be kids anymore!” is what everyone seems to be saying, “They’re becoming inexperienced adults!“
I don’t usually buy all our hyper-sexualized tween hysteria (I’m pretty sure most of this stuff has been going on for decades—just without YouTube), but after coming across this story, I can’t help but wonder what the hell is going on.
According to sources, a 6-year-old boy was recently caught running a ‘sex club’ out of his elementary school in Melbourne, Australia.
The boy has recently been placed in counseling for allegedly urging another 6-year-old to “perform a sex act” and “expos[ing] himself in front of other students.”
It’s hard to tell if parents and school officials are blowing an innocent act of kindergarten rebellion out of proportion (as we are want to do these days), or if our culture has really and truly gone off the deep end in terms of sexual exposure. Read More »
Last night, while trying to drown my “summer’s over” blues by throwing myself into a TV coma, I happened across the newest installment of the Real World. This year, those crazy MTV producers decided to keep the gays away and set it in Australia. They also decided to put more girls in the house than boys, and make the minority to Caucasian ratio 1:6.
The only non-white person is Parisa Montazaran, a 21-year-old NYU student who’s one of the most normal girls MTV has ever allowed to grace their blingified channel.
Unfortunately, Parisa’s intellect was no match for the douchebag drama that prevails on that show every year.
During the episode (which was the third one of the season), it became painfully obvious that Parisa was crushing hard on a dude named Dunbar. While I will refrain from commenting on his name (it’s too easy), I will say that he made himself out to be a pretty obvious asshole—obvious to everyone except…you guessed it. Parisa. Read More »
Last night marked the 19th season debut of that reality show that begat all other reality shows, The Real World. This season, producers decided to ship the cast of seven to Sydney, Australia, for four months of down-under debauchery. Whoopie.
I wasn’t planning on watching last night’s debut, but as with an awful car accident, once I stumbled onto it, I couldn’t turn away. I mean, the four girls are all incredibly hot.
There’s KellyAnne, a wild child from Texas who loves to party and admittedly loves to flirt with every boy in sight. There’s Tricia, from California, who lends an aura of superiority to everything she does. There’s Parisa, the show’s first ever Muslim, whom I guess producers felt would create enough drama that she’s ostensibly replaced both the show’s token African-American as well as the show’s token homosexual, and my personal favorite, Shauvon, a buxom beauty likewise from Cali who writes her own sex column at Sacramento State University and who may have the biggest set of breasts in the history of the Real World.

Apparently a group of Muslims in Malaysia are attempting to halt Gwen Stefani’s upcoming concert date. They have claimed that Gwen’s video clips promoting the event at Kuala Lumpur’s Putra Stadium on August 21 are too obscene and that the concert should be pulled all together.
There are actually 10,000 students that believe the show would clash with Asian values and more specifically Islamic. Believing that the company sponsoring the show, Maxis is responsible for exposing youth to a moral decay. Apparently Stefani is believed to contribute to the systemic erosion of morality in Malaysia when in the states we thought all she did was make great dance/rock music and design cute clothing lines.
Apparently a subject of great controversy “The Sweet Escape Tour” will not be escaping to Malaysia anytime soon. Stefani has cancelled the dates because of the stirring controversy being reported. But none the less Gwen has always been moral, never overly overtly sexual or disempowering. Read More »
Finally, is all I have to say. I was never a fan of this couple due to their immediate hookup after Madden’s break up with sweet, innocent, Hilary Duff. I think it was an inevitable end to a hookup that was basically a rebound for the rocker.
Supposedly they broke up on a recent trip to Australia and Madden dumped her for being “too clingy.” Of course she is clingy…One sudden gust of wind would knock her tiny body right over. Who else would she have to hold onto?
All joking aside, perezhilton has also been reporting rumors of their split for the past couple days, and pointed out that they have not been seen together since their return.
