There's still time to give a little girl the creepiest Hannukah gift we've ever seen.

Looking to misinform, embarrass, and inappropriately spoil a young Jewish girl this Hanukkah? Then Tefillin Barbie is for you! For starters, Jewish females don't wear tefillin (leather straps worn by observant Jews during morning prayer). Secondly, this very real doll is in the Mattel Halloween Hip Barbie Collection. And finally, did we mention she costs $130? (Via Etsy)

This is hilarious - Prenatal Pole Dancing DVD


We already knew Christina Applegate was comfortable poking fun at her pregnancy, but were still floored when we saw this hilariously edgy video she made for Funny Or Die.
In a commercial for a "prenatal pole dancing" DVD, Applegate (or Roxy Fedaro) gyrates around a stripper pole wearing ripped fishnets, booty shorts and a belly shirt showcasing her baby-to-come. Fedaro touts the benefits of prenatal pole dancing, including increased "seducidence" (seduction + confidence) for women feeling unattractive while they have a bun in the oven. You'll also see Wendy McLendon-Covey (better known as Clementine on "Reno 911!") sporting an "I'm Pregnant" T-shirt while she accompanies Fedaro on the dance floor.
Kudos to Applegate for making such a raucously funny, so-wrong-it's-right video at the height of her pregnancy and showing that being a mom-to-be hasn't changed her great sense of humor.

According to Lucy Laffer: "Child Abuse is over!"

This has got to be one of the silliest things I've seen lately!


Frivolous Facebook Meme of the Day: Long story short, in case you’re not current on the latest Facebook meme, people all over the world have been changing their profile pics to cartoon characters from their youth to “raise awareness” for violence against children.
I am completely with Urlesque on this one: How is this helping abused children? Folks participating in this meme aren’t doing a thing to raise awareness for actions their friends can take to support this cause, just merely pointing out the fact that children are being abused while letting everyone know they once had a thing for Snarf. Beatification, ho!
Here’s an idea: How about skipping the silliness and plugging an anti-child abuse charity instead? This is a good one. This is another good one. As is this one.
Facebook has the potential to be a powerful catalyst for social change. But these frequent Facebook charity memes are meaningless exercises in futility. People don’t need to be made aware that breast cancer exists or that child abuse is a problem. What they need are real things they can do to support individuals battling these scourges.
Like memes? Here’s a good one: Things that actually make a difference. Feel free to spread it around.
