Video: Four-Year-Old Gets Herpes From Used Condom

*OMG! I want to throw up now. A little four-year-old boy may have an STD, herpes in his mouth because he put a used condom from a hotel room in his mouth! In July, his grandmother took him to the Wyndam Garden Inn downtown Atlanta. She stepped out of the bathroom and the next thing she knew, the boy was in the bathroom with his mouth wrapped around what he thought was a balloon. It was a used condom.

The grandmother, in her motherly ways, was going to take the condom to be tested, but the hotel manager stopped her. The boy sprouted up disgusting bumps around his mouth that did eventually go away. But the herpes is back, I’ma just call it like I see it. Now he’s got a breakout on his lips, tongue and inside of his mouth. Poor child. I hope the family sues they a**. (more…)

Video: Being Fat Costs Money

*Umm… this is a sensitive topic… weight. Well, a woman in Dekalb County, Georgia had a pretty embarrassing moment at a local nail salon.

Michelle Fonville got a pedi and mani, and got her brows done. And when she was handed the bill she got a very unpleasant surprise – a $5 surcharge.

At first she was a bit confused about the bill and informed the person in charge, saying there was a mistake made.

She was corrected by the salon manager, who told her it was no mistake. It was a new charge they established for overweight people.

Yes, for fat people. She explained to the customer who nearly broke down in tears, that people who exceeded the 200-pound capacity for the salon chairs were costing her big money to keep those chairs in operation – $2,500 each! (more…)

Hearing Loss in Teens

*Did you hear? Hearing loss among teens is becoming the trend of the decade. Well, that’s what a study is saying. Teens are basically listening too much too loud and too close.

Those nifty lil “earbuds” may be the cause for teen hearing loss.  A study says from 1994 to 2006, hearing loss in children ages 12-19 has increased from 14.9 percent to 19.5 percent.

They predicted this would happen a long time ago, and I guess no one really took heed to the warning. Now the kids are going def because they play their beats real high. (more…)
