I seriously wish I had not started my day with RapeLay. It absolutely disgusts me. I cannot imagine creating or selling or buying such a product. Jesus.
I might try Lohan's tanning crap, I love being tan with all my heart but have never met a self-tanner that did the job.

Next up, Bears shit in woods.

The other two I just can't wrap my brain around. Me give up.

As a Mormon I have heard PLENTY about the big love controversy, although I've never seen the show. Which to me seems like a big indicator that making a big deal of it will only make it a bigger deal! It doesn't bother me, as far as I've heard the stuff they are showing can be found lots of other places pretty easily. LDS people making a big deal about it are doing the show's publicity for free.
