AppId is over the quota
by Jill Smokler 2 hours ago in Big Kid
TV is the best babysitter on Earth. You know it and I know it. Free, always available, and sure to entertain your kids while you shower or cook dinner ... but have you ever really thought about what your kids are watching when they flip on a channel dedicated to them? My ingenious community members did and came up with far more honest descriptions for children's shows than TV Guide would ever admit ...
1. Dora the Explorer: "A 5-year-old girl whose parents clearly don't care for her, as she spends her days accompanied by a neurotic monkey trying to ford rivers, climb mountains, and traverse jungles. She appears to attend school only sporadically and eats only berries she finds on a hill occupied by a malevolent fox. This poor child clearly also has hearing issues, as she is unable to modulate her voice and shouts every word she says."
2. Barney: "A giant purple creep who is constantly try to hug little children in hopes of earning their trust."
3. Blue's Clues: "Some dude on acid thinks he has a blue puppy and the need for a notebook because he's too stoned out of his mind to remember he had to take the puppy to his mom's house where she has a magenta puppy."
4. Caillou: "An incessantly whiny (and mysteriously bald) brat who always wants his way, yet always sees the wisdom in mommy and daddy's decisions."
5. Bubble Guppies: "Set in a group home, the 'guppies' (slang for 'orphans') enjoy daily field trips and surprises geared toward finding each of them their ideal career, in the hopes that they will become employable citizens rather than homeless drug addicts, as is stereotypical of children growing up in the system. Uncle Ted from Bobby's World (in fish form) seems to have endless funding and patience to provide everything for the guppies, including a puppy, one that he inevitably has to take care of most."
6. Dino Dan: "Child has super obsession with dinosaurs to the point that he hallucinates their presence in modern day society. Friends, family, and other adults ignore child's need for therapy. No one tells him to shut the fuck up about the damn dinosaurs when he brings up extraneous Dino facts in every conversation."
7. Max and Ruby: "Two very young children are neglected by parents and left to fend for themselves. Max can only use one word a day to describe what he needs. Ruby has to go to bunny scouts every day. Ruby tries to be mom and dad to Max and usually loses him or puts him in harm's way."
8. Team Umizoomi: "Two overzealous children and the robot who cares for them going on adventures throughout a big city which measures distances not in inches or miles, but in units. The children are probably mutated crack babies, as they appear to be only four inches tall and have strange abilities, like making their hair grow long and creating real objects from two-dimensional shapes."
9. Special Agent Oso: "The adventures of an intellectually challenged bear who goes on missions to help kids even dumber than he is to do the simplest things imaginable, which they apparently can't manage without help. A true male fantasy, as the bear receives an award for literally every dumb thing he does."
10. Yo Gabba Gabba: "A tall, skinny disc jockey, with the fashion sense of an 18-year-old stereotypical gay man, takes your child into a musical world where three sculptured pieces of his own feces cleverly covered in colorful play-dough, a yellow robot, and a knobby dildo come to life and act out scenarios your child may face on a daily basis. Your child's attention will be hooked further through considerably low budget, psychedelic short videos portraying odd and rarely seen objects, real children dancing like idiots, and strobe-like computer graphics."
Maybe TV isn't the best babysitter after all.

Lindsay Lohan finally seems to be getting her act together, and I couldn’t be happier for her. After successfully completing a 90-day rehab stint in July, she sat down with Oprah to talk openly about her addictions and admitted that she knows that she’s her “own worst enemy.” As they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
It's tragic when a divorce between two parents separates siblings. It's even more tragic when those siblings try to find one another and time and time again fail. That's exactly why last Friday's emotional reunion between Navy siblings Robert Williamson and Cindy Murray after more than 30 years apart has me tearing up today.
En la secundaria cuando mis padres se separaron, pensé que padre viviría en la casa donde crecimos juntos como una familia para siempre. Un joven me pensé, ¿por qué no? Todo lo que un hombre podría desear tiene. Una entrada de cuarto de milla proporcionando privacidad sin fin. Cuatro dormitorios. Dos y medio baños. Una enorme habitación familiar. Una spankin' nueva cocina con electrodomésticos de acero inoxidable. Un joven, más ingenuo que creía vivir allí solo sería como papá ser dueño de su propio palacio (completo con por lo menos tres televisores de pantalla plana). Y una bañera de hidromasaje.

Sometimes I wonder about Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes. They seem to be awfully good at garnering publicity via publicly feuding with one another. Is it all just an act? I mean, obviously the girls aren't besties for a very specific reason, but ... how do you explain this photo of 
Do you know how you know if someone is a true friend? I'll tell you how. They'll come and help you MOVE! There is really no better test of a true friend than asking them to come carry boxes and couches down six flights of stairs in the rain so you can MOVE! Don't ever, EVER lose contact with those who agree to it. Anyway, this means that Charles Petrie, who has been in the Army for 30 years, has more friends than the vast majority of people. Because not only did those two or three diehard 
There are loads of things you don't want your growing teen to eat too much of. You know, like junk food, chocolate, that sorta stuff. However, what if I were to tell you that there's one food you should be encouraging your teenage daughter to indulge in at least twice a week? One that could actually stave off breast disease? Ready for the magical food: peanut butter.
Harry Rosen is a 103-year-old man who probably has more than a few life secrets up his sleeve. But here's one I can really get on board with:

The last few months have been filled with heartache for Khloe Kardashian. She has been dogged by reports of husband Lamar Odom's cheating (with more than one woman) and crack binges. Even the strongest marriages couldn't survive a nightmare like that. What's worse, she has gone through his misery with the world rabidly watching every single second of it. Well, Khloe let us all know what we can expect from her as this drama continues to unfold. In her most revealing and poignant Instagram post to date, she shared this ...

Piensa por un momento sobre lo que podría gastar $1,25 en durante el día. ¿No compra mucho, ahora? Tal vez una lata de refresco o café, o una pequeña patata frita de la ventanilla, o un paquete de viaje de tamaño de los tejidos de la farmacia. Pero todo el mundo, hay más de 1 billón de personas--Sí, 1 billón--que viven con menos de eso un día. Y el 70 por ciento de las personas que sobreviven con menos de 1,25 $/ día son mujeresy se enfrentan a las condiciones de trabajo más extremas del planeta.

My dreams are haunted by Farrah Abraham. Each night as I snuggle down into my pillow, dreams of Mads Mikkelsen dancing through my head, she busts through my reveries to tell me about the weird stuff she's been up to lately. "Becca," she says, "I'm opening a restaurant." I try to ignore her, but it doesn't work. "Becca," she says, "that wasn't a sex tape everyone is talking about, it was a 'private love-making session.'" Inevitably, I give in, wake up, and stare at the wall trying to passively recharge my body like a robot or Dustbuster.
