WATCHING HORROR MOVIES = WEIGHT LOSS

I still can't believe the devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy. Throughout the day yesterday, I stayed online to see more and more photos that just blew my mind. Many of my friends and family are still without power, Governor Christie has postponed Halloween this year, and Disney just bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion in cash and stock shares. WHAT? Disney Execs are threatening to release the next trilogy in the Star Wars Saga in 2015 beginning with Episode VII with Episode VIII and IX to follow every two or three years following. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. What will George Lucas's role be in creating the next trilogy, if he even has one at all? God, I hope Disney doesn't ruin this for Star Wars fans!

Anyway, Star Wars and Hurricane Sandy wasn't what I wanted to write about today. I figured that since it was technically Halloween, though for some us it's been postponed, I thought you might like to know about this little interesting study commissioned by LOVEFiLM.com. It turns out; watching adrenaline-pumping horror films can actually burn up calories and help you lose weight! Well, that's as long as you don't scoff down handfuls of buttered popcorn while you're watching. Researchers from the University of Westminster in the UK had subjects watch a variety of horror films while taking monitoring their heart rates, oxygen intake, carbon dioxide output, and calories burned. According to one researcher, "Each of the ten films tested set pulse rates racing, sparking and increase in the heart rate of the case studies." He added, "As the pulse quickens and blood pumps around the body faster, the body experiences a surge in adrenaline. It is this release of fast acting adrenaline, produced during short bursts of intense stress (or fear), which is known to lower the appetite, increase the Basal Metabolic Rate and ultimately burn a higher level of calories." There you have it! The horror movie diet! Who needs the gym? Just get on Netflix! 

Below are the top 10 calorie-burning horror movies. Rent them tonight, lose some weight, and have a Happy Halloween!

1)The Shining - 184 calories

2) Jaws - 161 calories

3) The Excorcist - 158 calories

4) Alien - 152 calories

A HURRICANE NAMED SANDY

Seaside Heights, NJ--Wow!

 

 

I have no words for what we just witnessed. I, for one, took this storm lightly because I always felt that these weather forecasters over-exaggerate everything. Well, it seems, this time they had it right. I was fortunate enough to have power all night and no leaks in my house. My house had no gigantic trees next to it or around it, so I knew we were safe, but looking at the devastation on the Jersey shores and in NYC, my heart goes out to those who were affected. Today, I will not blog to be funny. Today, I will blog photos of some of the devastation that I found online to show those who don't live in the area what happened here. It was pretty bad. 

Take a look......

EL DIABLO IN DISGUISE

Is everyone staying dry? Hurricane Sandy has finally hit our shores, but instead of inundating you with more weather reports, here's a weird story out of Colombia that seems to come out just in time for Halloween. You can choose whether to believe it or not. 

So, apparently, black magic and evil spirits have captured the soul of a newborn in Colombia, who can allegedly walk by himself and produce fire at the age of four weeks old. Well, that's what his mother says anyway. Ana Feria Santos gave birth to her son last month, but says her bundle of joy quickly turned to a bundle of fear when she noticed that he had a few abnormalities, which led to her fears that he might be the devil in disguise, or in her words, "El Diablo"! 

According to Santos, the boy can already stand up and walk, which everybody knows is virtually impossible for a child of four weeks, and he frequently hides around the house in dark places while cackling in an 'adult' way for hours on end. Not to mention, he has an 'intimidating' pair of eyes. Her neighbors in the town of Lorica, near the Caribbean coast, also say that the boy is possessed by a 'malignant spirit' and that he is capable of producing fire. Yeah right! Does anybody believe any of this B.S.? Neighbors are saying this because of burn marks found on the baby's clothing and a sofa where he regularly sits.

The news spread around the small town like wildfire leading to vigilant attacks on Santos and her taxi-driving husband, Oscar Palencia Lopez's house. Frightened neighbors began pelting their house with stones on a nightly basis. What the hell is throwing rocks at someone's house going to do? What is this? The 1920s? Doctors do not believe Santos's story and have launched an investigation into the possibility that the new-born could have been abused. A team of psychologists, a social worker, a nutritionist, and a lawyer are now looking into the case because now, they say; the child is showing signs of abuse. The parents have received a warning while the facts are being clarified. I'm waiting to see the outcome of this one. Wouldn't it be great if the baby's head spins around like Linda Blair's in The Exorcist? This story is too much!

SKYPE SEX ANYONE?

This story came out the other day, and at first, I thought, 'did they really do anything wrong?' Then I read how old one of the participants were, and then I thought, 'Oh, yes! This is very wrong!' I'm talking about the soldier in the photo above. His name is Shawn Raymo, and he's a 22-year-old soldier from an upstate military reserve, who is being accused of watching his wife have sex with 15-year-old girl via Skype while he was stationed in Afghanistan. Raymo and his wife, Jessica, 21, are both being charged with one count of felony use of a child less than 17 years of age in a sexual performance and one count of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child. So, it's not a bad thing to be having Skype sex with your wife if you’re overseas, though I would highly advise then our soldiers didn't with these psycho hackers out there. You never know who is watching! But it is a bad thing to watch your wife have hot lesbian sex with a 15-year-old girl! What the hell is the matter with people?

The long-distance cyber-sex allegedly took place in July of 2011, when Jessica was at Fort Drum in upstate New York, while Shawn was in Afghanistan. Jessica is being accused of having oral sex with the minor while her husband watched and masturbated. A spokesperson for Fort Drum said, "We are constantly trying to brief our soldiers on things that they should not be doing." He also added that he was unaware of anything like this happening before with Drum soldiers. The couple was arraigned in a LaRay court and sent to Jefferson County Correctional Facility on $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. 

Let that be a lesson to you folks! Don't have sex with anyone under 17 on Skype! First of all, what kind of idiot would do anything sexual on Skype? Did you really think no one was watching? How the hell do you think that these amateur sex videos get leaked? Then again, look at these two idiots! They both have that "I'm a dummy"-look on their faces! To make matters worse, even if you did have sex for your partner via Skype, which I still say is dumb, why would you have it with a 15-year-old? That makes you either just a white piece of trash or a child molester. Either way, you're both garbage! Thank you for serving our country and all, but now you can enjoy the hospitalities of our tax dollars in prison.

VIRGINITY SOLD FOR $780K! HOLY MOLY!

Okay, I saw this story a few weeks ago, but I could've sworn that I read that it was a joke or something. Well, I guess it's not! What the hell is going on in this world that girls are now auctioning off their virginity to the highest bidder? That is what a Brazilian student named Catarina Migliorini did. She recently sold her virginity via an online auction for a staggering $780,000. Who needs a lottery? If you ask me, this makes her nothing but a high paid hooker!

Anyway, a man who is calling himself Natsu, from Japan, had to fight off some pretty strong competition from American bidders like Jack Miller and Jack Right, and even a big-spender from India named Rudra Chatterjee, to secure his date with Migliorini's 20-year-old destiny. The auction for her virginity ended yesterday morning at around 4 am EST, and Migliorini, a phys ed student, said that she will use the cash to build houses for poverty-stricken families in her home state of Santa Catarina. By the way, she was the subject of 15 bids. 

 Catarina's controversial move sparked international outrage, with many calling her 'no more than a prostitute!' Wait! Didn't I just call her a hooker? Sounds like I'm dead on! She also furthered her controversy when she revealed that she would be followed every step of the way by an Australian film crew for a documentary called Virgins Wanted. Catarina was quoted as saying, "If you only do it once in your life, then you are not a prostitute, just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically make you a photographer. The auction is just business. I'm a romantic girl at heart and believe in love. But this will make a big difference to my area." Um, hmmmm...You’re getting paid to have sex! HOOKER! It's just business and not love. HOOKER! She can say what she wants, but at the end of the day, it is what it is..."Hooker for a day!" The fact that she says she's doing it for her community makes her a Robin Hood Hooker! This whole thing is unreal! No wonder I thought that it was a joke at first!

 Catarina will be 'delivered' to her buyer on board a plane between Australia and the U.S. She will be interviewed by the film crew before and after the sexual act. The romp itself won't be filmed (obviously because not only will she be a hooker, but she'll be a porn star, as well!), and Natsu will remain anonymous, with no photos of him appearing in the media. Sex toys will also be banned from use and a condom will be required. Catarina also said that she was willing to prove to any skeptics that she has not had sex before. Who cares if you are or not? You just got paid $780k to have sex with some Japanese dude! Just shut up and do it already! Natsu will also be tested for sexually transmitted diseases prior to the intercourse. 

 Catarina signed up to the project two years ago when she saw an ad looking for virgins to film. A male virgin named Alexander also got suckered into filming the auctioning of his virginity, as well. He sold for a measly $3,000 to a Brazilian woman who called herself Nene B. A Brazilian woman? Who's the lucky winner there? He's getting paid $3,000 to lose his virginity to probably a hot Brazilian woman because we all know there are no ugly women in Brazil! So, what do we think? Is she a prostitute or not?
