soooo. Last week went to complete sheiza because of the fact that we are moving from our bootsy ass old location (the old traffic storage room a.k.a. the "Sarbanes-Oxley Suite.") With all of that being said, my deepest sincere apologies for not staying on top of the blog. It's hard to stay up to the minute when the WiFi isn't hooked up yet...either way here is a brief wrap up of what was discussed!
MONDAY:
In the wake of the Mother's Day we discussed a. how much it sucked for some of you and b. the dad's that got screwed! Audio can be found via podcast! The hilarity of it all was that there were more men that were shat on my their ex female counterparts than bitter women...this is a rarity for the show!
TUESDAY:
With very little going on Hollywood I decided to, yet again, visit my favorite place for content...The U.K.
According to news sources, a jealous husband accused his wife of having an extramarital affair with a workmate. Taking things to a whole new level, he decided that kicking her out of the house was not enough of a punishment...so he put her on EBAY.
He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: “I started checking her emails and I realised the rumours were true. They had been discussing their sex life together and making plans for the future.
“I was absolutely destroyed. I gathered all her stuff in bags and dumped it in the drive.”
Three weeks ago, Sharon pleaded for Paul to take her back. She moved back in, but two weeks later, Paul was again convinced she was cheating.
Paul said: “In a fit of rage I put the advert on eBay. I later took it off because I realised it wasn’t the right thing to do. I was just so angry.”
But Sharon had already made a complaint to police who today confirmed they were investigating, saying: “Statements have been taken from two people. ”
That was all just the beginning of what you missed...Wed - Fri, you'll just have to cut your losses because I'm all about forward progress and while I sit here and write this now, I could be shoveling new info to you instead fo the rehash...feel free, though, to scroll down and check out the actual articles that inspired the rest of the week! deuces suckas!

Woman Stabs Boyfriend In Heart
During Rough Sex
A Winnipeg woman who accidentally plunged a knife into her boyfriend's chest during a drunken bout of rough sex received a three-year conditional discharge yesterday.
"It was an accident that had disastrous results," said the woman's lawyer, John McAmmond.
A court order has prohibited the young lovers from communicating with each other since the February 2007 incident. That order was lifted yesterday and the couple left court together, smiling.
Court heard the 25-year-old woman and 24-year-old man had known each other since grade school but had only become romantically involved four weeks prior to the accident.
'VERY CLOSE TO DEATH'
The man was rushed to hospital in critical condition after suffering a stab wound to the left ventricle of his heart.
"Hospital staff thought he was going to die, he was very close to death," said Crown attorney Larry Allan, adding the man has fully recovered.
Allan said the man and woman had been drinking heavily and were engaged in "rough sex activities" when the man requested she "carve artwork" into his chest.
"He said they engaged in dangerous play, and due to her intoxication, was not precise with the knife and punctured his heart," Allan said.
The man told police the stabbing was an accident and that the two routinely cut and scratched each other with knives. The man showed police several wounds, including a heart-shaped scar on his back featuring the woman's initials.
McCammond said it was the victim who introduced the woman to "body modification" and asked her to carve another heart on his chest. The woman was complying when the man asked her to press harder, McAmmond said.
'LIKE VENETIAN BLINDS'
"Unfortunately, ribs are shaped like venetian blinds and the knife went through," he said.
The woman was originally charged with aggravated assault, but pleaded guilty yesterday to simple assault. She also pleaded guilty to one count of breaching a court order she have no contact with her boyfriend.
"They were in love, they wanted to be together, and eventually she weakened," McAmmond said, explaining the court breach.
Judge Brian Corrin said the woman was "clearly remorseful and unlikely to be reinvolved."
Corrin ordered the woman to participate in alcohol counselling while on probation.

Zimbabwe releases $500,000,000 note
ZIMBABWE has introduced a new half-a-billion dollar bank note in a bid to tackle cash shortages fed by rampant inflation, the central bank said today.
The $500,000,000 note is worth $A2.61c.
"Introducing the new 500,000,000 bearer cheque for your convenience," read a Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe full-page advert in the state daily, The Herald, displaying specimens of the new note.
The note, comes into circulation 10 days after the introduction of a quarter-of-a-billion one early this month.
This is the fourth set of high denomination notes to be issued this year, the first being in January when a 10 million dollar note was put into circulation. The next was on April 2 when a 50 million dollar note came into being before the 100 and 250 million dollar notes were introduced on May 2.
The southern African nation, currently gripped by a post-election crisis, has been ravaged by hyperinflation which reached 165,000 per cent in February.
No latest inflation figures have been released since then.
The country's chronic economic crisis has condemned millions to grinding poverty with at least 80 per cent of the population living below the poverty threshold amid mass shortages of basic goods in shops.

'Shamed' Austrian man kills family with ax
(CNN) -- An Austrian man has confessed to killing five members of his family with an ax, Vienna police said Wednesday.
The body of the father-in-law to a man who murdered five family members is taken away in Linz, Austria.
The man walked into a Vienna police station early Wednesday and told authorities he had killed his wife and 7-year-old daughter early Tuesday, police spokesman Michael Braunsperger said.
The man, a self-employed public relations consultant according to The Associated Press, said he had also murdered both his parents and his father-in-law in the cities of Ansfelden and Linz, respectively, the spokesman said.
Police found the five victims, who had all been killed with an ax, Braunsperger said. The man said his motive was "financial difficulties."
"He said he'd been speculating on the financial markets and had lost everything, so he ... wanted to spare his family the shame," Braunsperger said.
The man is in custody awaiting further questioning, he said.
"He is completely matter-of-fact ... almost without emotion," criminal investigator Thomas Stecher said, AP reported.
The case is likely to unnerve Austrians on the heels of a highly publicized incest case in Amstetten, outside Vienna.
Josef Fritzl, 73, confessed last month to holding his daughter captive in a cellar below the family home for 24 years, repeatedly raping her and fathering seven children with her. One of the babies died.
Fritzl told his wife that their daughter had run away, and he and his wife adopted three of the children.
In 2006, Austrian teenager Natascha Kampusch escaped from the basement of a house in Strasshof, another Vienna suburb, after being held there for eight years. Her stepmother said Kampusch had been repeatedly abused by her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, who killed himself by throwing himself under a train hours after she escaped.

Three Minnesota Junior High Students Suspended for Not Standing During Pledge
DILWORTH, Minn. — Fourteen-year-old Bishop Edens was suspended from school Friday because he wouldn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, but he was quickly invited back once his principal learned that rule might be unconstitutional.
The back-and-forth came on the second day of controversy at Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Junior High over the school's policy of requiring students to stand — but not necessarily recite — during the pledge.
Edens saw three of his classmates get disciplined by Principal Colleen Houglum on Thursday, so he decided to break the rule on Friday in protest. "I feel I should speak my mind about this whole thing," Edens said.
Edens was suspended Friday and went home, but his family told The Forum of Fargo that Houglum invited the teen back to school that afternoon.
Attorney Roger Aronson, who represents 1,700 secondary school principals in Minnesota, said he advised Houglum on Friday that requiring students to stand could violate their right to freedom of expression.
Houglum confirmed in a written statement to The Associated Press that three students were suspended Thursday for violating the DGF Student Handbook.
She said the handbook says "all students will stand" during the pledge but also says students aren't required to recite it.
But Houglum also said school officials were reevaluating the policy.
"It is our understanding that the phrase, 'all students will stand' may need to be modified to address the protection of the individual's form of expression," she said.
The principal told the students during the class Thursday that it was disrespectful to sit during the pledge, especially with U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, Edens said. A boy and two girls spent the day in in-school suspension.
"(Houglum) was talking about how people are fighting in the war for freedom, but she took away their freedom," he said of his classmates.
Shaun Anderson, whose daughter was suspended, said his daughter was talking to a friend about an assignment and didn't hear the pledge on the intercom. She usually stands for the pledge, Anderson said.
"I totally, 100 percent agree with her," Anderson, a member of the military, said of the principal's original decision. "I think any American should believe that."
But Kim Dahl, whose 13-year-old son Brandt was one of those suspended, called the disciplinary action "ridiculous." Her son said his homeroom teacher had never told students about the policy.
"I thought it was kind of dumb because I didn't do anything wrong," Dahl said. "It should be the people's choice."

if you even care...Lil Wayne's thoughts of mutha erf comin to an end (yawn at the interview, biting my nails at the actual facts)
“The world is about to end in 2012… ’cause the Mayans made calendars, and they stop at 2012. I got encyclopedias on the bus. The world is about to end as we know it. You can see it already. A planet doesn’t exist - there’s no more Pluto. Planes are flying into buildings - and not just the Twin Towers. Mosquitos bite you and you die. And a Black man and a woman are running for president.”
Also, Wayne recently told Bender some stuff that could be a candidate for XXL’s Brother Please section!
"I don't do too many (drugs). I just smoke weed and drink. But I'll never f**k with no more coke. It's not about the bad high; it's just about the acne: Cocaine makes your face break out. I'm a pretty boy."
