Meet Trent. To some, Trent is a savior. (You might not want to shake his hand, though)

By web gangsta | Published: March 8, 2010

Buying Dad - One Woman's Search for the Perfect Donor

TRENT C. ARSENAULT IS A PROFESSIONAL SPERM DONOR.

Although, perhaps “professional” is not the correct word to use, as Trent gives his sperm away for free to any interested party.

He claims at least 10 successful pregnancies, and suggests that those interested in his services use the “local pickup” option, although FedEx is available if necessary.

Drink this – it’s the Ultimate Hangover Cure of the Future

By web gangsta | Published: March 4, 2010


The Hangover

Hangovers.

We’ve all suffered through ‘em, whether it be at a Waffle House at 8am after a killer night on the town, or hanging out at the Magic Kingdom after doing DRINKS AROUND THE WORLD at Epcot at Walt Disney World three times too many in one day.

We’ve tried all the cures, but nobody really has attacked the real problem: that maybe it’s the alcohol that’s causing the hangover issue.

Leave it to scientists to figure out how to make HANGOVER-FREE ALCOHOL.

10 Fast Fart Facts (now say that 10 times fast)

By web gangsta | Published: March 3, 2010

Bean-O

Let’s face it, Web Watch fans: farts are fun.

You know it, they know it.  Sure, they may stink up a little at times, but they make the person doing the farting feel good, and those around them usually laugh a little bit.  All in all, farts are not just good for you, but good for the people who hear it.

Certainly brings up the question that if farts bring so much joy to people’s lives, why people aren’t farting in public more often.

Today’s Fun Fact: Smoking Leads to Saggy Boobs (and 14 other tidbits)

By web gangsta | Published: February 25, 2010


Smoking Chick

If you are a woman and you smoke, Web Watch would like to inform you that you are doing your body more harm than good.

A study in 2007 determined that there were THREE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO SAGGING BREASTS, and not one of those factors involved breastfeeding.  The study determined that the three factors were:

Introducing “My New Pink Button” (sometimes the jokes write themselves)

By web gangsta | Published: February 15, 2010


My New Pink Button: Makeup for Women

Web Watch will refrain from making any commentary about MY NEW PINK BUTTON, a new makeup product proclaiming to add a youthful pinkness to a woman’s Lady Parts.

No – unlike Natalie Bui at the University of Colorado, Web Watch will not say that we are “repulsed” or state that it’s sad that “women have become so self-conscious of their bodies that they feel that even their most intimate parts must be altered and “beautified.”

We will not call My New Pink Button “yet another extreme product to alter women’s bodies to appear more like the porn star ideal“, as Little Miss Brightside has done.

Nor will we call My New Pink Button as the “worst Valentine’s Day Gift, ever“.

No, Web Watch will not do this.

What Web Watch can do is offer the following information, taken straight from the My New Pink Button website, allowing faithful Web Watch readers to form their own opinion on the product.

After all, My New Pink Button wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t some demand for it, right?

Have an embarrassing medical question? Check out EMBARRASSING BODIES (yup, it’s NSFW)

By web gangsta | Published: February 13, 2010


Embarrassing Medical Problems

Web Watch knows that it’s wrong to laugh at other people’s medical situations. 

However, Web Watch can recommend laughing at the questions that can arise from some of the more unusual medical issues that can crop up from time to time.

Because let’s face it – some folks have either some amusing medical problems or they don’t mind asking in public what are normally private conversations that one should have with their personal physician.

The UK’s Channel 4 embraces this philosophy wholeheartedly, to the point of making an Internet television program that serves just that purpose.  EMBARRASSING BODIES and EMBARRASSING BODIES LIVE are a TV program and companion website that allows viewers of all shapes and sizes and of all ages and educational backgrounds a platform to ask just those questions — anonymously — that they just feel uncomfortable asking a doctor, family, or friend about.

Boosting your metabolism helps you lose weight. Sadly, Twinkies are not the answer

By web gangsta | Published: January 17, 2010

North Beach Diet

One thing Web Watch knows how to do is tell others what they are supposed to do to lose weight.
It’s quite simple – “eat less and exercise more.”  

See how easy it is to say that?  The hard part, as we all know, is actually following through with the advice that we freely give to others.  Web Watch may not practice what we preach, but we’re really not the kind of people we would preach to anyway.

So let’s pretend that you’re already trying to eat a sensible breakfast, healthy lunch, and small portions at dinner.  You’re exercising a little bit every day as best you can, but you haven’t really noticed any real differences yet.

Maybe all you need to do, since you’re doing everything else right, is to kickstart your metabolism a little.  Here are a few suggestions that you can try:

Q: How many different chemicals do women put on their face every day? A: 515

By web gangsta | Published: January 11, 2010


Barbie Make-Up

HOW MANY DIFFERENT CHEMICALS DO WOMEN PUT ON THEIR FACES EVERY DAY?

A UK company, Bionsen, determined that the average woman puts 515 different chemicals on her face every day, using a combination of makeup, perfumes, mascara, and other products.

The average woman uses 13 different products daily, and each product contains at least 20 different ingredients — lipsticks and other makeup average 30 ingredients, and some perfumes can have as many as 400 different ingredients.

It gets scarier from there.  You pay attention to the labels on food you eat, but have you paid attention to the ingredient list on your personal grooming products… if those products even contain ingredient lists in the first place?

Have a question about poop? Just ask Dr Stool…

By web gangsta | Published: January 5, 2010

What's Your Poo Telling You?What's My Pee Telling Me

Web Watch would like to introduce Web Watch readers to Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD, who collectively are known as DR STOOL.  (Web Watch will refrain from making any jokes about the two authors meeting while at Brown University, even if it is true.)

Josh and Anish have taken a practical approach to answering all manner of poo-related questions and have released a book entitled WHAT’S YOUR POO TELLING YOU? and a companion piece WHAT’S MY PEE TELLING ME?.

A New Year’s Resolution: To Stop Washing with Soap

By web gangsta | Published: January 3, 2010

Defense Soap

Every New Year, there are people who make casual New Year’s Resolutions that they hope to keep in order to better themselves (the traditional “stop smoking”, “exercise more”, and “spend more time with loved ones”), and then there are people like Richard Nikoley who believe in making a definitive lifestyle change for overall good.

It seems that Richard has decided to FREE THE ANIMAL within and make some dramatic changes to how he lives his life – things that may seem dramatic to others, that is.

You see, Richard has decided, among other things, to STOP USING SOAP AND SHAMPOO.
