Wal-Mart has a policy of having “greeters” at the front door of all their stores.

One of the jobs that the greeters and security staff are tasked with is to double-check receipts to ensure that everything that is being carried out has been paid for per the receipt.

Mary Hill Bonin and her husband are suing Wal-Mart for the Wal-Mart staff doing their job.

Unfortunately, it’s the Wal-Mart staff that allegedly appears to have acted inappropriately in this case.  All Mary and “Ricky” wanted to do was buy $2.90 worth of chicken necks.  According to the Wal-Mart security guard, the chicken neck was being shoplifted – that is, being taken out of the store without having been paid for.

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
Buy EVERYBODY’S FREE (to wear sunscreen)

In Italy in summer of 2010, a topless woman was casually applying sunscreen to herself as she laid on the beach.

Why? Because that’s what people do while at the beach. 

Especially when one is topless.  Sensitive skin, and all that.

Why do people love to buy clothes?

Go to the mall on any given weekend, and you’ll see tons of people. But are they strolling and browsing, or actively shopping?

Well, if you believe what the polls are saying these days, WHERE YOU LIVE DICTATES HOW MUCH YOU LOVE (or hate) TO SHOP.

Should parents allow teens to have sex at home?



What About Sex?: Teens Speak Out About Parents, Peers & Personal Responsibility
What About Sex?: Teens Speak Out About Parents, Peers & Personal Responsibility

It’s a growing trend these days – parents, in their bid to be “cool and hip”, are allowing their teens to have more and more benefits that the parents may have been denied themselves while growing up.

Whether it be their own cellphone when they’re 10 years old, regular access to the kegerator in the basement when they’re 15, or being given their own new car just because they lived to be 16-years-old – more parents are deciding that the old rule of “as long as it’s at home, it’s okay” is a perfectly adequate way to raise their children.

Even when it comes to teens having sex in the house.

Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals spread germs everywhere they go



 Doctor Walking Through Hospital Closet with Blue Sheets and Scrubs
Doctor walking around in scrubs

You’ve seen them around town:  walking through the park on their way to and from lunch, driving through the bank teller line, shopping at the grocery store, eating at restaurants after a shift, riding your elevator — doctors, dental hygenists, nurses, and other medical professionals all wearing their scrubs out in public.

Think about it.

Why do medical professionals wear scrubs?  They’re easy to clean, and they don’t want to get their “real” clothes dirty.

So why do you see so many of these same medical staff wandering around in public in their scrub outfits?  They certainly aren’t going to wear these non-sterilized clothes anywhere that would possible infect you in their day-to-day care of your illness or dental exams.

Or are they?

Pierced or tattooed? The Church of Body Modification wants you!



Modify - uncensored edition
Modify

If you have a body piercing (ears, belly button, nose, lip, elsewhere), a decorative tattoo or scar — yes, scars can be decorative — or have had some type of non-medical-related surgery purposefully intended to change the way your body looks away from what it considered a traditional appearance, then you’ve participated in body modification.

There are all sorts of body mod websites out there, some of which – like BME.COM – we’ve talked about previously on Web Watch. 

Here’s a new one for you:  where do you turn when body modifications are a religious experience?

Flashing your boobs at a concert can get you in trouble



FLASH! Bars, Boobs, and Busted: 5 Years on the Road with Girls Gone Wild
FLASH! Bars, Boobs, and Busted: 5 Years on the Road with Girls Gone Wild

Canadian music fan Andrea Irwin has an incident on her permanent record , just for attending a Kid Rock concert.

It’s not unusual for people to be arrested at a Kid Rock show – it’s mostly out-of-control drunks and the occasional fight in the pit.  Web Watch has seen it first-hand — Rock puts on a great, entertaining and engaging show.  He’s a showman. His fans really get into it.

But to kick Andrea out of the building for merely enjoying herself and getting caught up in the moment?  That’s not right.

So what did Andrea do that was so horribly, horribly wrong that got her in trouble at a Kid Rock show?

New census form has three checkboxes for “sex”



It's PAT
SNL’s IT’S PAT

There’s the old joke that too many people think is funny when the census form comes around every few years:  “Sex”?

And Mr Jokey-Pants will not want to answer “Male” or “Female”, but rather “Yes” or “Last Night”.

Ha ha?  Not so much.

But that’s not stopping the census takers in Nepal from deciding to really for-real add a third option to the census form beyond the traditional “Male” and “Female” options.

Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby:
Choose a Girl or Boy Using Today’s 99.9% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques

There are all sorts of research done that allegedly say they can influence what gender your new baby will be.

Some come down to bedroom techniques, some are due to foods that are eaten, or the type of underwear the father should wear one month before the conception is attempted.

Everybody knows that it’s the father that contributes the chromosome that results in whether the baby is a boy or a girl… but a new study has come out that may pour some fuel onto the growing fire of the mother having some influence after all.

You’re not following fashion trends if you’re still wearing mismatched bras and panty sets



Santa Underwear

If you’re a fashionable lady and are continuing to wear mismatched bra and panty sets, you are no longer a trend-setter.

Because while the fashion trend over recent years has been to proudly show off your underwear choices (where it was critically important to ensure that your bra was somewhat matched to your top – and not as important whether your panties were in the same style… if you wore underpants at all) — retailers are claiming that WOMEN ARE BUYING MATCHING UNDERWEAR SETS IN GREATER NUMBERS.

Web Watch knows that you are an aggressive workaholic, just trying to make a name for yourself in this crazy world.

Would you be happier having a more unique name, unique spelling?  Would you be happier being another Tom, Dick, or Harry in the room?  Today’s parents have any number of Baby Naming books available to them, but maybe they need to think beyond the immediate need of naming their newborn child and think long into the future.
