PETA Thinks Ashton Kutcher Is Just Ducky
The PETA Files: PETA Thinks Ashton Kutcher Is Just Ducky
You've got to give it up to PETA for managing to find ANY reason at all to ask someone to work for them. (I can't imagine actually writing that letter as I'd probably be laughing too hard.)

YouTube - Famous Failures
Very well done. One of my 12 year olds watched this, and said "that's good". There are worse lessons in life to learn than this.
� Sample Active Child Trades | Child Trader Child Exchange Network
And yes, it wouldn't be funny if it wasn't a joke site. But the descriptions are wonderful. 
Name: Isabella
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Average height, usually wears braids but can pull off almost any look. Already showing signs of blooming but doesn’t have gawky arms or anything yet.
Medical History: Strong cat, dog and ragweed allergies and possibly others too. History of ear infections believed related to allergies. Does not require inhalers or other things.
Strengths: Cute in her own way. Very academic in her own way. Likes to show off sometimes.
Weaknesses: Not what you might call a fruits and veggies eater.
Agency Comments: The feet on this girl are beyond suspect. At the rate these clompers are growing you’re going to have an eleven foot giant on your hands by sixteen. May become Amazon, but may incur high shoe and transitional clothing costs and/or undue boy attention upon puberty. Bookish nature may offset growth potential, but consider cost compensation accordingly.
Desired Trade: Looking for something more petite, possibly Asian, or 5th wheel travel trailer (2006 or newer.)

Obama-Curious George Tee an Instant Cobb County Classic
I find this absolutely unbelievable. But maybe that's because I'm Canadian. I feel sorry for liberals in Cobb County- that's got to be horrendously embarrassing.

Good Moms / Bad Moms - Best & Worst Moms Ever - TIME
Good Moms / Bad Moms - Best & Worst Moms Ever - TIME
Mrs. Jumbo loves her baby elephant boy with all of her heart. She doesn't care that his ears are growing to gigantic proportions, but seemingly everyone else does. Mama Jumbo does what she can to shield Dumbo from the taunts of other elephants and circus visitors, but when some mischievous boys tug at his ears, she goes into an elephantine rage. The circus workers think that Mrs. Jumbo has gone crazy and lock her up lest she injure anyone else. Dumbo is separated from his mother and left unshielded from the unrelenting attacks. But, showing the fortifying effects of a mother's strong love in his heart, he turns what others see as his greatest weakness into his greatest strength and uses his ears to fly. The metaphor is apt: a supportive mother can give her child wings.
