Sperm Donor Reality TV Show

Billionaire television producer John de Mol, behind the pioneer show Big Brother, will test the limits of reality TV with a program in which a woman searches for a potential sperm donor to conceive a child.

His new TV station Talpa, launched earlier this month, confirmed it will air a program called “I want your child … and nothing else!”.

“The plan is that we visit potential donors and — of course on camera — decide which man is most suitable,” the 30-year old woman who will feature in the program said in an interview with De Telegraaf newspaper.

“Afterwards there will be artificial insemination,” said the woman who was identified only as “Yessica” and who has bought a house with a room for a child.

The show is a one-off competing with four other reality TV programs, one of which follows five former prostitutes starting a cafe. The program receiving most votes from viewers Saturday, after all the shows have aired, will be turned into a series.

I wonder what mad idea they will think of next?

Dead Boss Joke

A guy phones up his Boss, but gets the bosses’ wife instead.
“I’m afraid he died last week.” she explains.

The next day the man calls again and asks for the boss. “I told you” the wife replies, “he died last week.”

The next day he calls again and once more asks to Speak to his boss. By this time the wife is getting upset and shouts, “I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE, MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING?”

He replied laughing, “I just love hearing it…”

looooool…
Very funny…

The Fat Man Walking

Steve Vaught, a 350-pound man, who is a 39 year old, happily married father of two kids, is walking across the US to shed weight.

Vaught left his hometown outside San Diego on April 10 in an attempt to walk to New York City to lose weight and regain his life. While he embarked on the journey for personal reasons, he hoped his story might serve to encourage others to take their lives back–to get up and do something about it today.

As of Friday, Vaught was only near Flagstaff, Ariz., where it’s monsoon season. He’s fallen way behind his goal of traveling about 20 miles a day, which would have put him in Missouri by now.

But he’s already accomplishing his goals. He’s lost about 50 pounds (he was 400 pounds) and has been the source of great inspiration to many people.

Check out his official website: The Fat Man Walking, and check out his journal.

Prophet Yahweh UFO Summoning Tour

Prophet YahwehProphet Yahweh, Seer of YAHWEH, as he calls himself, claims he was blessed to discover the lost, ancient art of summoning UFOs and spaceships on-demand. Since 1979, hundreds of UFOs have appeared on his signal for witnesses to see.

Beginning August 7, 2005, he will start his “50 State UFO Summoning Tour 2005.” During this time, he says that UFOs will appear on his signal for radio or television news and talk shows to film and photograph.

He says that these Space Beings have revealed to him that they are the Angels of YAHWEH, from other planets. They’re here to announce the return of the Messiah in a few years.

What do I think?

I think this guy needs intensive mental care…
Maybe his Alien friends, or Angels as he calls them, can help him out with the bill for that ๐Ÿ˜›

Tarzan Swings, Tarzan Falls…

I could see something like this happening to a friend of mine once he gets married ๐Ÿ˜›

A Romanian man ended up in hospital after he tried to swing from tree to tree to escape his wife and go drinking.

Stefan Trisca, 66, had been locked in the bedroom by his wife who was fed up with him going drinking with his friends.

His Tarzan style escape plan backfired when he slipped from a vine and fell 15ft to the ground, breaking his arm, an ankle and a leg.

“Unfortunately it was more difficult than it looked in the Tarzan movies.”, He said.

Maybe if he was in the US, with it’s mad lawsuit-happy culture, he could sue the hollywood studios that made “Tarzan” movies claiming that they mislead him into trying it himself.

Anyway back to my friend, I really wouldn’t be amazed at all if something like this were to happen to him swinging out of his bedroom window to go for a drink, lol…

The Terminal Guy

Remember the movie The Terminal starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones?
Well it turns out that it’s inspired by a true story!
And well, the guy is still living in the airport!

Merhan Karimi Nasseri, a man without a country, has been trapped by his lack of papers in Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, since 26 August 1988.

As of the summer of 2004, Nasseri is still living in the airport. He does not lack for money — Dreamworks paid him a rumored $250,000 for the rights to his story.

I simply can’t believe it. It’s incredibly amazing!
But it’s true!

Whale Burgers in Japan

Japan may be under fire for plans to expand its whaling programme, but that has not stopped a fast food chain from offering a new product aimed at using up stocks from past hunts – whale burger.

The 380-yen ($3.50) slice of fried minke whale in a bun went on sale on Thursday at Lucky Pierrot, a restaurant chain in the port city of Hakodate on Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido.

They say the taste and texture are somewhere between beef and fish.
The chain is currently producing only 200 burgers a day spread out over its 10 outlets.

It seems people in Hakodate have a long history of eating whale, so it’s weird they only started making burgers out of it now.

I wonder if McDonald’s Japan will follow suit and introduce a McWhale soon ๐Ÿ˜‰

Berlusconi Soap sells for $18,000

Perhaps the oddest piece of work at Art Basel is a bar of soap, displayed on a square of black velvet, purportedly made from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s fat, removed during liposuction.

Gianni Monti’s work called ‘Clean Hands’ sold in less than an hour for 15,000 euros ($18,000) to a private Swiss collector, according to Monti’s Galerie Nicola von Senger of Zurich.

This is both disgusting and crazy!!
Only a mad person would pay that much money for a bar of soap made out of human fat!

Sex Huts for the World Cup 2006

World Cup 2006 LogoDortmund, one of 12 host cities for the 2006 World Cup, is hurriedly building wooden sex huts with the aim of encouraging discretion among prostitutes and their clients.

Experts estimate as many as 40,000 prostitutes may travel to Germany to offer their services to fans during the tournament.

“The World Cup has put us under added time pressure, as we don’t want a situation where prostitutes and their clients disturb residential areas,” an official said

Dortmund plans to arrange the Dutch-designed huts, which have been introduced in the city of Cologne, another World Cup venue, in an area with condom machines and snack bar.

This is just crazy, lol…
