I don’t even know what to say about this poor mom. But I suggest she get herself a computer and learn how to use google and Youtube.
You have, no doubt, heard about the latest YouTube sensation of poor little kerligirl, aka Jessi Slaughter aka Jessica Leonhardt. The last one is her real name. Her videos are completely sad and bizarre. But it goes along with what I’ve been wanting to impart onto parents for, like, ever.
A little bit of history: I’ve been online for almost fifteen years, I’m embarrassed to say. I found this world after a kind of painful breakup and I never came out of it. I live a regular life, too. But in the first few years, I didn’t. I was completely submerged in the online community, the global world of cybergeeks, as they were known then. This is even before there was a World Wide Web. If there is one thing I know it’s internet culture. And I can tell you, without question, that the best and the worst of human nature is exhibited here. As great and supportive as people can be, as kind and flattering as they often are, there are mean people out there. There are REALLY REALLY mean people whose shadow lives are lived out online. Because they can’t call their boss a “fat bitch” out loud they use that hate and put it all online.
There are some people to genuinely fear.

This came from Howard Stern’s radio show, posted by someone over at ONTD:
While listening to Rosie Radio this morning Howard Stern popped in for a little surprise talk and they got on the subject of Brad and Angelina. Howard said that they are no longer together and Rosie asked Howard if he actually knew that or was just going off of the tabloids and Howard said the he knows that. Rosie asked how and he said that he knows people and knows things and that he can pretty much say for sure that they are no longer together.
Howard said that even though Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen that Brad should have known better since Billy Bob Thorton, a man who has a fear of antiques and only eats orange food, said that she had too many problems for him.
So there ya go. Howard Stern is a pretty honest guy and I believe pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth.
I hope it isn’t true.¬† Maybe they’re just taking a break from each other.¬† But all those kids – relationships have a hard time staying healthy when just one kid comes along, but that many kids in that many years?
Their relationship, as lived through our eyes, moment by moment, picture by picture, detail by details, seemed like a fantasy.  The births in Africa, the flying lessons, the international adoptions, the twins, the animal-noises sex, the big house in France, the sexy photos for W magazines, the red carpet displays of affection Рthat yellow dress at Cannes.  It was a moment for our time Рand why is it poor old Brad Pitt is always the guy who has the girl and they become the couple that defines our time?
A trip down memory lane:
