Turmoil caused by Ahmadinejad at Israel Holocaust Remembrance Day

Iran has been well known for it's dislike of Israel for the past 70 years now...

So, it is not a shocker, when given the opportunity to open the floor to a speaker, like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, that he would state his displeasure for Israel if given the spotlight...

At a U.N. event in Geneva, Switzerland...on the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day....Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the West of using the Holocaust as a "pretext" for aggression against Palestinians... prompting 40 European diplomats to walk out...

The dozens of diplomats that walked out on Iran's president's speech, walked out because of his accusation that Israel of having a "racist government."

Ahmadinejad delivered his speech stating, "The United States and Europe had helped establish Israel after World War II at the expense of Palestinians."





Which overall is true, to a point...


After WWII Europe, U.S. & the U.N. did assist Israel into country hood after the British Mandate expire in 1948...which paved way for Palestine to lose land for the creation of Israel...to this day
there is still bad blood between the Arab world vs. Israel...

However, Ahmadinejad comments were uncalled for and are justified to debate...His comments on the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, might have set back Iran to ever receive a spotlight to speak in front of the U.N. for a long time....

Overall, Ahmandinejad is up for re-election in Iran this year....In the state Iran is in, with a stale economy and with an increase in unemployment...There is speculation Ahmaninejad could not be re-elected...

"The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican"

Burger King is at it again...with recent ads having "The King" singing "I like Square Butts & I can not lie." while promoting this months Sponge Bob Square pants promotion had parents screaming for BK to take the ad of the market!

This comes months after the January ad, promoting a FREE Whopper to anyone who could show proof of deleting "10 friends from Facebook"....which was pulled because Facebook would of sued!

However a new ad called, "The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican," is sparking uproar south of the border...

As of right now, the Mexican Ambassador of Spain has been recently quoted as saying, "it is an improper use of stereotyped image of a Mexican," after seeing the advertisement in Europe...

Here is the ad of a Cowboy & a little Mexican wrestler, which HAS NOT BEEN RAN YET IN THE U.S.

MORE CONTROVERSIAL ADVERTISEMENTS:

Burger King has done this before, with ads about "Whopper virgins" who have never tasted the hamburger before, and its marketing has been a bit on the wild side. Around Christmas it introduced its"Flame Body Spray" to give a chance for men to smell like flame-broiled meat to attract the "ladies."

BREAKING BARRIERS: Fox to get a Late Night Female Talk Show Host

Fox has declared to forgo the stereotype of the Prime time talk show host being male and declare "uniqueness" to it's network to have a Prime time FEMALE Talk show Host...

The very talented Wanda Sykes...

Compared to the likes of Conan...Leno...Letterman... she is unique in three major categories of how Late Night Talk Show Host should be...

She is....

1. African American
2. Female
3. Lesbian
   

Here's a little info on Wanda...

Raised in the Washington, D.C. area...Her father served as a US Army colonel employed at the Pentagon...and her mother...as a banker...

A graduate from Hampton University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing...

After college, her first job was as a procurement officer with National Security Agency (NSA)...where she worked for 5 grueling years...

Not completely satisfied with her role with the NSA, Sykes began her stand-up career at a Coors Light Super Talent Showcase...

She continued to hone her talents at local venues while at the NSA until 1992 when she moved to New York City....her first awesome break came when opening for Chris Rock at Caroline's Comedy Club....

In 1997, she joined the writing team on The Chris Rock Show and also made many appearances on the show....

After that she took off into random TV shows...movies and her very own HBO Comedy Specials...

NOW...Sykes divorced husband David Hall in 1998....She remarried again in October 2008 in California to her female partner, whom she had met in 2006.... Sykes then came out publicly later in November 2008, that she was lesbian during a same-sex marriage rally regarding Proposition 8 in Las Vegas...

During her address she declared her excitement over the presidential election of Barack Obama, and her feeling "crushed" after the passage of Proposition 8, forbidding marriages of same-sex couples...

OVERALL I'M IN LOVE WITH WANDA...I've had a secret crush on her since I was 16 & I'm stoked for her to have this opportunity!!!

As of right now her show is still in the begining stages....which rumors point to a Late Night show dedicated to a panel of recurring guests sparring over issues from politics to pop culture...

The Wonderful World of Insurance... for Legs???

Just recently I came across an article on Body Part Insurance...Finding it quite odd, I quickly started realizing why Celebs insure certain parts of their body...



Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen insured his voice for $6 million

Model Claudia Shiffer's face alone is insured for $5 million

Stones guitarist..Kieth Richards' fingers are insured for $1.6 million

Soccer Star David Beckham legs & feet are insured for $70 million

Famous Actress Angelina Jolie's total body is insured for a cool $1 Billion



& of course



J-Lo's booty is insured for $27 mill



All the celebs above are found in film, singing, advertisements and sports....


It’s perfectly understandable for a celebrity to have themselves or parts of their bodies insured, because, after all, the assets they were born with are their bread and butter....They miss out on anything that makes them famous...no escrow



Take Tom Jones...known as an "ageless heartthrob"....Mr. Jones has insured one of his most valuable-body assets......his chest hair???



No Joke...Tom's Chest Hair is insured at $7 million

McDonald's New Ad Campaign



With an overhaul of modernizing their restaurants, (if you want to call them that) McDonald's has discovered a new way to influence their loyal consumers.

The new burger boxes and fry sleeves feature pictures of fresh ingredients like potatoes, lettuce and tomatoes to try to position the food as healthy.




These are just a few companies that are updating and reaching out to improve their wallets. Other companies such as, Jack in the Box, Tinker Bell, Heinz, Old Navy and M & M's are looking to broaden their horizons to not only entice consumers, but make themselves over. Most makeovers are due to come out this Fall, so stay tuned!

The Drama that is Quiltmaking

In recent news, a magazine has caught flack for its use of "obscene getures" & its racey use of nudity...



This magazine is not Playboy, Hustler or Maxim, its none other than Quilter's Home.



Quilter's Home can be purchased anywhere in Utah. As of right now, Jo-Ann fabric is the only store not to carry this specific issue involving these "Shocking Quilts."



This quilt to the right is one of Mary Beth Bellah's signature quilts on display. Its a Viagra-inspired quilt, called "Helping Hands." This specific quilt has created quite an uproar, that Bellah has had to defend.



Some people have expressed their issue, saying "What year is this anyway?" While some people have expressed that they will only buy their crafts from Jo-Ann, because they look out to keep their business "morally-righteous."



Whatever the case, styrofoam chickens & wreaths will still be bought and scrapbooking will still push forward. My overall belief is that nobody in Utah knows about this matter. Im still awaiting the shock, which will be a Relief Society lady reaching into her mailbox, egerly awaiting to scroll through her Quilter's Home, to only find images of:

1. A gun-wielding Jesus


2. A baby taking a peek out of his mama's lady parts


3. A gigantic, quilted phallus.


4. The Viagara-Inspired Quilt
