Awesome Human Being: Kathreya From Big Brother UK 9

I've never been one to watch Big Brother, and certainly not any of the versions from other countries, but today I met Kathreya, a housemate in the current season of Big Brother UK 9. Between her love of cookies, her fashion sense and her general, giddy ridiculousness, she's like a living cartoon character. I could watch this woman all day and night. Truly wonderful casting. Oh, and when I said her "love of cookies," I mean she really loves them. (She simulates an orgasm when talking about them.) Try watching this and not get the urge to scream, "Cookies!" at people.

Worrying About Death Makes You Eat Cookies

According to a story in New Scientist, a study has found that thoughts of death make us eat more cookies. Naomi Mandel at Arizona State University, and Dirk Smeesters at Erasmus University in Rotterdam asked 746 students to write essays on one of two topics: their death or a visit to the dentist. The participants also filled out a questionnaire designed to gauge their level of self-esteem. Cookies were made available. The subjects with low self-esteem who wrote about death ate more cookies. Apparently consuming is a distraction (or salve?) for thoughts of death. "When you indulge in shopping or eating, it helps you forget yourself," says Smeesters. Surely right now you are thinking: Duh. More »

Bittersweet A truck loaded with 14 tons of Double-Stuff Oreos overturned this morning on Interstate 80 near Morris, Illinois. The driver fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the median, sending cookies all over the highway. Two lanes of traffic remain closed as authorities clean up the spill. The job would probably go a lot faster if they had some help. Any volunteers? [AP]

Just Desserts We aren't the types who think that desserts are "sinful," but the recipes on Porn Bread kinda are. It's a site that gives DIY instructions on how to make sexed-up treats like Dirty Sanchez cookies, Viagra cupcakes, penis pretzels, "Jiggly Gelatin Boobs", Kama Sutra gingerbread cookies, and much more.

Two 12-year old Girl Scouts from Ann Arbor, MI, Madison Vorva and Rhiannon Tomtishen, have refused to go door to door shilling cookies this year upon learning that Tagalongs, Thin Mints and other Troop-approved sugary confections are made using palm oil, which, due to harvesting methods, is not only incredibly damaging to the environment but to Indonesian orangutans. Says Vorva, "We've seen pictures of orangutans set afire and beaten. You really want to reach out and do all you can to help save them." [UPI]

Are Girls Too Busy Giving Blow Jobs To Engage In Girl Scoutlike Empowering Shit Anymore? (And Are We?)

Oh, here is some news sure to shock you: the Girl Scouts, like pretty much every secular civic organization in the country, are struggling to stay relevant! They're offering 100-calorie cookies and new ads aimed at appealing to girls' senses of "individuality." They've hired their first Chief Marketing Officer to study why the group's rolls persist to so steadily decline, and...well...basically they all seem to be dancing around the word 'blowjobs.' "The group discovered its main competition for members wasn't the sports teams or church groups it suspected, but rather what it calls 'nonactivities,'" the story explains. (Cough.) Explains Girl Scouts chief executive Kathy Cloninger: "Girls start hanging out at the mall, spending time online or just being with their friends, and basically become 'nonjoiners' — that's [what] we were losing the most girls to." Sigh. I hate to tell you this, Kath, but the battle has been lost. More »

Marion Cotillard: 911 Is A Joke

  • Oscar winner Marion Cotillard has conspiracy theories! She questions the attack on the World Trade Center towers: "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there (in New York), in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed." Plus! She doubts Neil Armstrong! "Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered," she says. "I don't believe all they tell me, that's for sure."

  • Jennifer Lopez has indeed, as previously reported, named her twins Max and Emme. A reader points out that those were the names of the kids in the cartoon Dragon Tales. WTF? [CNN, YouTube]
  • Colin Farrell is hooked on Russian steam baths. "There's something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men," he says. Well, it's healthier than drugs and alcohol, for sure. [UPI]

Cookie Monster An unknown couple paid for Girl Scout cookies with a fake $100 bill, reports USA Today. When the Scouts asked why it looked strange, the couple told them it had been washed. The girls gave the pair of con artists $93.50 in change after the purchase, and the exchange eradicated the Scouts' earnings that day. A local resident ended up donating $100 to the troop, but is there a patch for "Feeling Stabby"? [USA Today]

Pepperidge Farm Teaches Cookie Lovers About Female Friendship, The Internets

Are you desperate to join a social networking site, but find that Facebook is missing that all-important mass produced snack foods connection? Pepperidge Farm has the website for you! Artofthecookie.com, Pepperidge Farm's "official" site, has started a campaign called Connecting Through Cookies, in which women are encouraged to keep in touch with friends by "send[ing] a short e-mail every week with news, funny anecdotes and random thoughts. And attach digital photos (of you, your kids, your vacation) as often as possible." The site also provides links to recipe-sharing sites, web videos and blog buddies, and reminds us that "we live in an age in which technology makes long-distance connections much easier to maintain than in the past." Wow, technology? Who knew? We're still stuck on our rotary phones and ice boxes! More »

British 'Girl Scouts' Learn About Safe Sex, Know Nothing Of Booty-Calls

Girl Guides is the UK's answer to Girl Scouts. British girls learn first aid, have "outdoor challenges" like rock climbing, and acquire self-respect, teamwork skills, badges and crap like that. There's a Promise you make, (kind of like a pledge) that involves God and the Queen. Anyway, the Telegraph reports that times have changed for the Girl Guides. Where they used to make beds and light fires, they've now helped to put together a "guide to living for modern girls," which includes things like using Microsoft Word, putting together IKEA-style furniture and practicing safe sex. And although other suggestions like "money management" and "standing up to boys" were encouraging — especially since the skills from 1957 were "make a jam or pickle" and "keep a scrapbook about a colony" — the nagging feeling persists that these girls need more skills to truly be prepared for the modern world. May we suggest a few? More »
