Lazy Candy





Well done India, just because times change, why should you?

Colleges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh said Wednesday that female students would be banned from wearing jeans and other Western clothes to halt sexual harassment by male classmates.

Maybe you want to address the problem that your young men are so sexually repressed that they can't control themselves when they see a babe in jeans? Just sayin'.

Fortunately, the girls are not all relying on the powers that be to protect them.

Prostitutes in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu have begun taking karate lessons to protect themselves from violent customers and pimps.

"A thug once stripped me of my clothes and told me to run naked. From now on, I think nobody can do that to me. I will kick him."

Men prefer "average sized women"

Researchers found that men preferred the shape of ordinary women, equivalent to dress size 14, than so-called super-attractive models, according to a study that compared the body shapes of ordinary women, Playboy centrefolds, models from the 1920s and 1990s and glamour girls.

Note to researchers- having girlfriends stand over the guys shoulders while taking the survey is likely to skew the results.

The Anne Frank House museum says it will put the teenage Holocaust victim's diaries and other writings on permanent display to commemorate what would have been her 80th birthday on Friday.

I wish someone could dish out the straight story on health care. I know two things: 1) Everyone should have access to health care and 2) The same people that brought you the DMV are not capable of providing Health insurance.

Adding more layers of BS between patients and doctors is not helpful and will only serve to make everything more expensive and restrict patient choices.

You go Oregon!

Because the Oregon Supreme Court has prohibited regulating any speech on the basis of content, strip clubs are allowed to operate in any commercial zone regardless of local opposition.

And finally, we end with this.

Instead, a teacher she confided in about the torrid relationship asked her out, while another stopped into the Centerfolds club where she works for a lap dance.

Nice work. Teachers everywhere should be proud.
