I am a mother, my kids are both over 18 years old. Still, it is upsetting to me that one can't watch a YouTube video of animals doing tricks without having something pornographic show up right in front of your face! Lisa from New York Chica shared a link on Facebook about a Chihuahua named Stuart dancing salsa. Sounds harmless right? I am watching the video, laughing because it is kind of funny. Then when it finished, the video for the picture you see above with the white square on it, is one of the videos that comes up as a suggestion. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! I had to look twice. I'm so upset, nothing is freaking sacred these days.
The worst part is that even if you close the page and open the Dancing Chihuahua video again, it will still show up as a recommendation again. Not only on top but on the side also between a bunch of videos of funny animal videos. Sure, for some of you this might not mean anything but as a mother it is upsetting that one can't even enjoy some funny videos of animals without having something disgusting show up! Mind you, I'm no prude but come on, not everyone wants to look at a crotch while looking at videos with their family or friends! YouTube should change their system to avoid this from happening and move that button to the top where is visible to everyone!
So, if you don't have the safe mode setting set up on YouTube do set it up before you do a search to avoid videos like these from showing up while you are trying to enjoy yourself with your family and friends. Ok, now my rant is over, carajo.

I saw an
article on AOL about Renée Zellweger saying how she needs to revive her career, blah blah. I saw her movie New In Town with my daughter over the weekend and we both liked it. It was a fun movie with a good story. The actors had chemistry which is something very important. Yes, it is a chick flick! Harry Connick, Jr looked delish as usual. I didn't have to worry much about sex scenes which I liked. The only thing that annoyed me was the actor from The Closer and Spiderman, he had a fake Irish accent that was awful. Other than that, we loved the movie!
Of course because it didn't make over 100 millions in the box office they are calling it a flop. Why is it that they expect every movie an actress/actor makes to be a smash hit? That's impossible, not everyone is going to like every movie an actress/actor makes.
IMO, I think she's doing fine. She's a great actress and she has proven that more than once. Sure all her movies might not be a smash hit but that doesn't mean people don't watch her movies and they are not good. Her latest movie Case 39 looks interesting so I know I'm renting it!♥
Just think how many movies come out every Friday, how can people watch every movie. Especially with the ticket prices and the economy the way it is. Impossible..
