Eight months after radio-host Don Imus used racial slurs against the Rutgers Women’s Basketball teams he’s back on the air – and he’s not racist anymore! Promise!

Imus (and the heads at RFD-TV, no doubt) must have thought it would be a great idea to prove his non-racial stance by hiring on not one but two black comedians. (We are only calling attention to their race to prove how “un-racist” we are here at College Candy.)

Diversity has a name, or two names in this case: comedians Karith Foster and Tony Powell. Foster is a Jewish/African-American/Texan who graduated from Oxford (JACKPOT!) and Powell is…an African-American comedian!

Don Imus, African-American sidekick(s), continued wisecracks and controversy – sounds like the show is extending an olive-branch towards its infamous rival.

Will this act of unity (and comedy) scream heavy-duty marketing or turn this never-ending controversy on its ear? Tune in to WABC-AM (or RFD-TV) and find out.

My breasts and I, we have this understanding.

We have an understanding that they are awesome.

I LOVE my ladies. Peaches and Cream to be exact. Which is what I named them when I was 12 and they were beginning their slow journey to becoming the best boobs ever.

But what does scare me is that with the largest breasts in the family, I know I am probably predisposed to the breast cancer on my mother and my father’s side. And Lindsay Avner knew the same thing. In fact, she got tested for a gene mutation that is inherited and carries an 85% risk of having breast cancer.

And when she tested positive, she cut off her boobs.

Double mastectomies aren’t uncommon in today’s society, but when Lindsay opted for the surgery she was only 22 years old.

Being that three generations of women in her family had all had breast cancer, I understand Lindsay’s desire to want to protect herself from what she felt was inevitable.

But I just don’t know if I could part with my boobs until I had to. Or at least until they start sagging a little more.

Lindsay is using her surgery as a platform for letting other high-risk women know their options. She started Be Bright Pink as an educational and support outlet for those susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, both of which her mother had. Her crusade is understanable but completetly controversial. Read More »

I don’t know much about it yet, but I guess breastfeeding is good for your babies. So, breast milk and babies? A sensible combination.

But babies and Facebook? Not so much.

I don’t care how much Facebook is “expanding” its users. Facebook is really for college students and it should stay that way. Which is why I’m not too offended to find out that it has been removing pictures of females breastfeeding their kids.

The blog posted on USAToday said, “Karen Speed, a 33-year-old Canadian mother who describes herself as a “lactivist,” tells The (Toronto) Star that such photos led Facebook to delete her account and a support group she had established for breastfeeding mothers.”

First of all, what is Karen Speed, a 33-year-old Canadian mother/lactivist doing on Facebook in the first place? What is she possibly getting out of this? Finding out at which side of campus the next tailgate is gonna start? Checking up on her douchebag ex-boyfriend to see if he added any new skanks to his friend list?

Seriously, Karen. Seriously.

I think it’s great that mothers are reaching out to each other for support, but is it really necessary to post, what I think, are such personal and intimate photos on this particular site that is regularly monitored? Here is one of the pics that was removed from the site, and nipple or not – it may not be “obscene” as Facebook would say, but it’s still pretty needless on a college-based networking site.
