Graduation cake fail
June 18, 2013 7:38 am

Laura Gambrel didn't want a big graduation party because she was returning to the University for grad school.  Her mother decided to get her a cake anyway.  When Mom ordered the cake, she instructed the young man behind the counter to put a picture of her daughter on the cake and try to add a graduation cap on her head.  What they got was a beautiful cake with the red and white colors from the University along with the smiling face of the daughter on the cake.  Sounds good so far...but then there was the cap...ummm...I mean the cat added to the picture.  That's right; there's a graduation "cat" on her head.  Mom decided to keep the cake as it was and all had a good laugh. graduation cake

Little girl takes on Westboro Baptist Church
June 16, 2013 3:09 pm

The Westboro Baptist Church is well known as a hate group.  They're the ones that protest military funerals.  They're saying that the Oklahoma tornado victims died because they were sinners.  It's an evil group disguising itself as a church.  But a 5-year old is not afraid and she set up a pink lemonade stand across the street from the church.  Members of the church tried getting her shut down by calling the police and when that didn't happen, they resorted to foul language and shouting as if they were small children throwing temper tantrums.  Time to grow up!  The 5-year old selling the lemonade was more mature than the church members.  The kindergartner has now raised more that $5000 for "spreading messages of love and peace."  Jayden Sink

horrible photoshop
June 11, 2013 7:08 am

Melissa McCarthy is huge at the box office.  She just happens to be plus size but that in no way describes who she is.  Her films are some of the biggest grossing films which means that her size has nothing to do with her ability.  Her new film with Sandra Bullock, "The Heat," comes out next month.  The problem is the publicity poster.  Someone in their infinite wisdom decided that several pounds must be removed from Melissa's face.  She is pretty much unrecognizable in the retouched photo.  What is wrong with some people?  Melissa is beautiful, talented, smart, and funny--why isn't that enough?  When will society get over judging people on their size?  poster fail

A & F
May 23, 2013 10:40 am

There's been a lot in the news lately about Abercrombie and Fitch.  Not about the clothes they sell but about the clothes they refuse to sell.  Mike Jeffries, the CEO, has made it very clear that he hates fat people and will not sell anything over a size large.  He's gotten quite a bit of backlash from it which I feel he rightly deserves.  Jes Baker is going after the A&F ads with some of her own.  They're entitled Attractive & Fat where she poses with a male model to show that every size is beautiful.  attractive and fat  and Jes Baker
