WTFckery or Not? You Decide

Here comes the best post of the week! Sunday's WTFckery...

1. I just can't get enough of all the WTFckery book covers...

 Whipped leather butt cheeks sounds more like it. The real kicker is the publisher is Fanny Press!

Pride and Prejudice in space? As for the cover... O.o

Very waxed, rugged cowboy here. Actually this is a  hunky, strip club manager who wants the heroine to ride on his wild stallion to show her how good sex can be..

2. Rumors are persisting if you're unemployed, companies won't hire you. Seriously, WTF? From the New York Times: 

"A recent review of job vacancy postings on popular sites like Monster.com, CareerBuilder and Craigslist revealed hundreds that said employers would consider (or at least “strongly prefer”) only people currently employed or just recently laid off. It is really a buyer’s market for employers right now,” said Harry J. Holzer, an economist at Georgetown University and the Urban Institute. One consequence is that the long-term unemployed will rack up even more weeks of unemployment, Mr. Holzer said, and will find it harder to make the transition back to work."

“Clients don’t always tell us ‘we don’t want to see résumés from unemployed workers,’ but we can sense from what people have interested them in the past that they’re probably looking for somebody who’s gainfully employed, who’s closer to the action,” said Dennis Pradarelli, a talent acquisition manager for Marbl, a recruiting firm in Brookfield, Wis. Many of the job ads posted by his firm seek workers who are “currently employed or only recently unemployed.”

3. I want this cause it's all types of awesome. From Laps of Luxury: 

Handmade, one of a kind dog beds for small dogs & even cats...

"When a dog bed is finished, it is infused with these thoughts and will radiate love and comfort and a peaceful nap to every little dog, cat or pampered pet who snuggles up on it."

4. My first thought was, why would this guy be in a badgers den in the first place? Suicide by badger? Am I a cruel and heartless person to admit I laughed while reading this? I don't even want to think what the poor guy went through being eaten. So sad. From Zap 2 It: 

Gordon Ramsay dwarf porn lookalike eaten by badgers

"According to reports, Percy Foster, a 35-year-old dwarf adult film star, was found partially eaten in a badger's den in Wales. Workers from the Ministry of Agriculture were preparing to gas the den when they came across the 3'6" Foster buried deep within the the tunnels of the sett (another name for a network of badger tunnels).

Foster was new to the world of porn but had impressed producers with his uncanny resemblance to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. According to as much Google research as we could feasibly do in the office without getting fired, celebrity-lookalike-dwarf-porn is the financial pinnacle of adult dwarf entertainment and Foster was set to strike it rich.

However, the stress may have been too much for Foster, as adult film producer Dexter Yamunkeh notes that "Percy was a little guy with big problems.

5. As a redhead I'm very insulted about this. Why would they deny ginger spermies? From The Telegraph: 

"Ole Schou, Cryos's director, said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing the facility to become much more picky about its donors.

"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."

6. Scary edible art that would tear out your throat. From Hi-Fructose:

"Artist, Scott Hove has been hard at work preparing for his upcoming solo show in San Francisco at Modern Eden. For the show, appropriately titled 'Your Deadly Desserts', Hove has created a bite sized sampling of smaller to medium sized works, cakes with fangs and spikes, tongues and teeth, and even a dismembered limb or two."

7. One more reason not to fly. Imagine if you had to pay an extra $400 to check your bag? From The Consumerist:

"According to USA Today, United and Continental are now charging $400 to check a bag weighing between 71 and 100 pounds on a number of international flights. American Airlines has gone even higher, charging $450 for the same size bags if you're traveling to Asia.

And get a load of this WTF: For those who have only carry-in baggage: Spirit Airlines is the only carrier charging for carry-on bags. Spirit fliers pay $30 for notifying the airline online about a carry-on bag, $35 when calling on the telephone and $40 at the airport."

I have a bad feeling airlines are going to start charging for carry on luggage.

8. An App that helps you figure out if your child is gay or not? How disturbing. From Gizmodo: 

The "Is My Son Gay" French Android App.

"The app costs 99 Euro cents, which if you think about it, is a great deal considering it promises to answer "the question you have been asking for perhaps too long"! Or at least it would be if it actually did something... It's basically just a game of 20 questions featuring deep and thoughtful yes or no questions pertaining to homosexual stereotypes like personal grooming, manner of dress, enjoyment of musical theater, and his interest in sports (or rather lack thereof)."

 9. The mating of the leopard slug is like a sensual ballet until the very end with their glow in the dark mushroom sperm baby cocoon thing they create.




10. Tis the season for all the Halloween and in some cases the Christmas decorations to start popping up at stores. Why not purchase this Regretsy WTFckery for all your holiday decoration needs?
