Earlier this month, Blogadilla graduated to Threat Level Orange, after being deemed a “Website of Mass Distraction” by the Columbus Dispatch and Newsweek.com [link].

It’s official: Blogadilla is now considered “PORNOGRAPHY.”

I was in a local Peet’s Coffee and I tried to look up Blogadilla on their network. And this was what appeared:

Maybe it was the article I posted about Smurf Porn, maybe it’s our liberal use of the word ‘ass’ on the site, or maybe it’s because our controversial favicon is a naked lady with a donkey. All I can say is this is how we roll here at Blogadilla, and they’re making porn sound like a bad thing.

The Beijing Summer Olympics are just around the corner, and that means one thing: the humiliating process of testing female athletes to see if they are male.

About 1 in 20,000 women have complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) – where they are genetically male (XY), but their body has problems recognizing testosterone (and other androgens) and thus they have physically developed as women (this has been rumored of actress Jamie Lee Curtis, but never formally verified).

None of these tests, to date, have revealed a man posing as a woman. However, in 1985, Spanish hurdler Maria José Martínez Patino discovered that she was born with a Y chromosome (XY), instead of another X (XX) – that she is genetically male and has AIS.

Though genetically male, these women have female physiology – and their genetic makeup shouldn’t actually provide any greater physical advantage.

So, how should the line be drawn this year?
Should it really matter?

Of course something like his has to happen in a place named Armuchee, Georgia. This little deer has 6 legs, 2 pelvises, and 2 tails. But now it only has 1 tail, after a dog attacked it. AP Link.

If you don’t do things to ceremoniously embrace Summer, it can often slip by unenjoyed.

A Working List of Things to Do This Summer
• Make lemonade from scratch (even if you have to buy the lemons) and drink it on a porch, stoop, deck, or veranda.
• Go to a beach, lake, or outdoor public swimming pool. Get wet.
• Eat popsicles.
• Have a barbeque – or minimally, eat barbeque.
• Sleep outdoors at least once – either in a forest, on a beach, in a back yard, or on the roof of your apartment building.
• If you have an ice cream man in your neighborhood, buy a popsicle from him at least once. Even if you are in your mid-30’s and look foolish chasing after him.
• Get a sunburn.
• Run through lawn sprinklers, slide on a Slip-N-Slide, sit in a kiddie-pool, wade in a public fountain, or go to a water park.
• Make an extra effort to put ice in all of your beverages. Especially coffee.
• Wear a sunscreen that smells like vacation. Even on a day when you don’t need to.
