This morning, Miss Ackerman directs our attention to this story on the front page of the New York Post. Many thanks to Sarah for linking the article -- it's one of the most hilarious things I've ever read.

The story: 29 year old Tammy Imre was apparently involved in a sexual relationship with an 8 year old boy. But here's the thing. She's a former model. By the way, what's up with the hotties going after children? They're always former models or porn stars or something. But that's not what's so amusing about the piece. No, the truly funny part is that, throughout the article, the writer keeps referring to the relationship as "abuse" -- at one point, as "a horrific case of abuse" -- and keeps referring to the boy involved as the "victim". Excuse me? The victim??? Hey, can I be victimized? By a former model??? Seriously. And then you've got golden quotes like the mother of the "victim" angrily exclaiming, "She ruined my child!" and Imre's 7 year old daughter (her young lover was one of her daughter's playmates) commenting, "My mother does disgusting things with [the boy]." Not to mention the defense from Imre's friend -- who just happens to be a professional psychic! -- to the effect of, "She couldn't have done this; she goes to church every Sunday." The hilarity never stops with this article!

So apparently if we start drinking from the Fountain of Youth and attend church regularly, we'll get to hook up with and shave the pubes of hot ex-models. Seriously, churches should advertise this kind of thing -- if I'd been told stuff like that when I was younger, Mom wouldn't have had any problem at all getting me into the pew. I would've been like, "Holy shit, sign me up for those one-on-one Bible study sessions! I LIKEY THE JESUS."

KWIZ TYME!!!!!!!!

You Are a Snarky Blogger!

You've got a razor sharp wit that bloggers are secretly scared of. And that's why they read your posts as often as they can!

What kind of blogger are you?

You are "Shocked"

What Japanese Smiley Are You?

Lots of people have had that first quiz recently, but I followed Val's link. Val is a social blogger. Yup.

Hey, did I mention that last night was like the worst night ever? Yeah, it was -- really thought my brain was going to explode there for a minute. So today I'm pretty exhausted... and in no mood to be writing THE NOVEL... so I don't anticipate making a lot of progress on it today, at least at work. Maybe I'll get something done on it after I've gone back to my room and slept for a bit. HOPEFULLY that'll happen. Yeah, sure.

Ja ne, minna-san!
