Today’s Lady News: Couple’s Abortion Poll Was Totally A Pro-Life Hoax, Duh

Jessica WakemanNovember 24, 2010 //
  • The online poll about whether a Minnesota couple should have an abortion or bring the pregnancy to term? Totally an anti-abortion hoax. (Obviously.) Pete and Alisha Arnold confirmed to CNN that they bought the domain name BirthOrNot.com four months before she got pregnant and were trying to “make a point” about abortion. However, for the past week, the Arnolds have adamantly been insisting their poll was not a hoax. “My intent is not to deceive people, but at the same point, I do want people to talk about this,” Pete Arnold told CNN. “This seemed like a pretty good way to further the discussion.” Wrong and wrong. Also, Alisha Arnold has been fired form her job over this nonsense. [CNN, Gawker]

Ami AngelowiczSeptember 7, 2010 //

Poor little Justin Bieber has yet another awful trending topic about him. “Justin Bieber takes estrogen pills.” I wonder if he likes that better or worse than the previous trending topics that he “molests fans,” “had a testicle removed,” or “impregnated his mother.” Darn you, 4Chan or whoever is cyber bullying the Biebs. Don’t you know that cyber bullying is serious?! Even if famous people are the victims. [Huffington Post]

After the jump, some more awful and untrue celebrity trending topics. Keep reading »

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 26, 2010 //

Coo-coo-bananas story of the day time! A man in Ghana claims he woke up one day to discover he had transformed into a woman and subsequently gave birth to a baby girl. Kwanbena Benie, 24, a “fetish priest,” the West African name for a spiritual advisor, says that when he was 13 years old, he was possessed by some sort of god who told him to become a priest. That same god told him that he shouldn’t have sex with women. Flash forward 20 years, and Benie married a woman and had sex with her, going against the warning he said he was given as a kid. And that‘s when his penis began to hurt. Keep reading »

Hackers Send Justin Bieber Fans To Porn Sites

Ami AngelowiczJuly 6, 2010 //

Justin Bieber and his fans had a rough Independence Day. Hackers set out to destroy the little guy with the lesbian fringe. Yesterday, these anti-Bieberites rigged YouTube clips of the little songster so that when ‘tween fans clicked on them, they would be redirected to porno sites. Noooo! Next, came a hoax—a pop-up announcement that Biebs had died in a car crash. I don’t even want to know what that ‘tween riot would have looked like had the awful news been true. Suspected of this Bieber-tage are the 4chan crew, the hackers responsible for spreading the “Justin Bieber has syphilis” rumor last month. Oh, come on. Pick on someone your own size!
