There's a brand new reality show out starting that takes a group of atheists and tries to convert them.  The prize?  What else besides eternal salvation!!  Oh, and you have a chance to win a trip to a religion's place of pilgrammage.  That in itself might be worth converting for some people.  Travel is an eye opening, although expensive, adventure.  I'd love to visit Mecca, the Vatican, Tibet, Jerusalem or Ephesus.  How could you not convert with a trip and eternal salvation on the line???

It's based out of Turkey and features a group of tried and true non-believers who will be confronted by a Muslim Imam, a Catholic priest, a Buddhist monk and a Jewish rabbi.  Maybe confronted is not the word they promote.  I'm sure they say persuasion.  But you say persuasion, I say coercion.  Whatever.  Hilarity is sure to ensue.

Although a non-believe myself (obviously), I think this is actually a pretty cool idea.  It would definitely give you exposure to different ideas, theologies, and beliefs which only the closed minded would not be interested in.  You'd get a chance to meet new people and hear about their religions.  There's some controversy over having non-Muslim religions promoted in Turkey.  I can't even imagine the controversy that would emerge if this show was tried in the U.S.

People tend to stick to their belief systems unquestioningly.  Maybe this show could open people's eyes to religions, different religions or maybe the atheists could get a couple of converts!!  Absolutely a great idea for a television show.  Oh reality tv, what would I do with you?

Online dating is definitely not what it used to be.  People used to think that personal ads, whether in the paper or online, were relegated to those desperate for love.  Saturday Night Live had an ongoing segment about dating companies called "Lowered Expectations".  I think that the complete opposite is now true.  Dating companies are now about specific groups of people looking for love in all the right places.

It seems like there is every possible segment of the population represented by one site or another.  There are sites based on sexuality, age, race and religion for starters.  There are sites based on different  philosophies such as vegetarianism, environmentalism, philanthropy, etc.  There are sites for people looking for married people to hook up with, short or tall people to fall in love with and even a site dedicated to people who love horses -- equestrian cupid.

While this may seem ridiculous at first glance, once you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense.  Equestrian cupid can help you find other people with a great love of animals, horses in particular.  This group of people would have many things in common besides horses.  They would all love nature and the outdoors.  They would all be interested in being physically fit.  Perhaps these people would be more rural as opposed to urban which can make a huge difference in one's lifestyle choices.  A love of animals usually also entails a kinder, gentler personality of people.  People with a soft side who care about animal rights and cruelty against animals.  These are all great qualities for a mate, even a spouse, to possess.

One of the best parts about this site is that it enables members to have a FREE sign-up.  This means that you've got nothing to lose!  If you're a horse lover, a friend of horses or even just someone who'd like to be, check out the site today!

I've heard of some pretty funny/weird "how we met" stories but this one really takes the cake.  And it takes it really fast too!  I can't imagine that this guy will find this girl that he "bumped into" but perhaps if people keep spreading the word she'll hear about it.  It sure would make a great story to tell their grandkids one day.

The first sentence of the ad alone makes you stop and think WTF?  Streaking?  That's right the guy was completely nude except his new shoes (which I'm sure aren't the only thing she noticed) and he's looking for the girl who tripped him.  Maybe he can spend his $100 on taking her for dinner...

It seems as though people tend to focus on the more negative aspects of plastic surgery such as the cost, risk, and vanity associated with the surgeries.  I do not want to downplay the negative aspects of plastic surgeries with this post.  Rather, I'd like to highlight the more positive outcomes of plastic surgery when qualified plastic surgeons such as this Denver plastic surgeon are used.  There are the obvious self confidence and self esteem boosts, as well as a less obvious environmental benefit available with some plastic surgeries.

Breast augmentation can be a critical surgery for women who are born with breast imperfections such as an inverted nipple, lopsided breasts or other breast malformations.  Because the breast is seen as such a symbol of womanhood, feminity, motherhood and sexuality, there can be some quite severe self esteem and confidence issues associated with any perceived imperfections of the breast.

Rhinoplasty is another obvious area of surgery for plastic surgeons.  On many occasions, people just find that they are unable to live with the nose that they have been born with -- especially if it is much smaller than average or much larger than average.  The nose is such a visible part of the body that is noticed on first impressions nearly 100% of the time.  When a person perceives their nose as being "abnormal" it can lead to all sorts of issues with self esteem and self confidence.  This relatively easy surgery can correct perceived or actual issues with noses so that the patient's lives can be much improved.

Liposuction is the surgery that has an additional environmental benefit as well as the benefit of helping people loose weight from hard to shake areas.  The fat that is removed during surgery has actually been used by at least one surgeon as an alternative fuel source to power his SUV.  More research is definitely needed to study the costs and benefits of the use of this type of alternative fuel for vehicles.  This research may be especially important in the Western world where obesity rates seem to be only rising in the past decade or so.

Okay, this is a funny ad, anyway you look at it.  It finally explains why all men want a garage and/or a workshop when they are looking for a new house.  It's a secret porn hide-away.  I like how this guy brags that he has no need for this porn.  Is it the wrong kind of porn or is he just not that kinda guy?  I've got some many questions for him!  Can Hustlers seriously be collector's items?  What kind of collector would want these???  I'm not sure that this environmentally friendly way of cleaning out your garage should really be encouraged.  Can we use some sort of chemical free cleaner on the nudie mags so that they are safe for further distribution??  So many questions, so little time.  lol!  I guess at least he didn't donate them to a school looking for old magazines for art projects!
