A South African Track Star Took A Gender Test To Prove That She Was A Female!



Caster Semenya is the South African track star that clocked the fastest women's 800m time in the world this year at the Africa Junior Championships.She easily obtained a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin.But,Caster Semenya's great accomplishments have been eclipsed by a debate over her true gender.Is she really a woman or a man? Some believe that it's a case of gender variance.I think that it is just an extreme case of jealousy.
Here's more on that from The Daily Mail UK :

"Controversial runner Caster Semenya's mother has hit out at claims that her daughter's 800m at the World Athletics Championships was invalid - because she is actually a man.

Caster Semenya, 18, stunned a crowd of thousands in Berlin last night by storming to success in the 800 metres final in which Britain's Jennifer Meadows won a bronze.

It was the South African's first major international sporting competition. She won in one minute and 55.45 seconds - beating defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei, a Kenyan, by a massive 2.45 seconds.

But the athlete's triumph has been overshadowed by growing accusations that she is in fact a man.

Yesterday the world athletics body, the IAAF, confirmed it asked South Africa to test their star 18-year-old's gender three weeks ago.

The complex series of tests were prompted after her muscular physique and extraordinary performances sparked speculation over whether she really was female.

If the tests prove she is in fact male, she will lose her medal.

But her mother Dorcus Semenya today defended her athlete daughter.

'I am not even worried about that because I know who and what my child is,' she said defiantly.

'Mokgadi Caster is a girl and no one can change that.'

Octomom Asks Herself A Question That The World Has Pondered!


Nadya Suleman asked herself this question tonight during a televison interview:

"What was I thinking?"

That is the question that has been asked repetitively since Nadya Suleman was pegged with the moniker "octomom." What the hell was she thinking?!! Well,at least she is finally owning up to the fact that she sure as hell wasn't thinking about tomorrow when she had 8 kids.

Here's more from The Telegraph:

""I screwed myself, I screwed up my life, I screwed up my kids' lives...What was I thinking?" Miss Suleman said in an interview in "Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage", which will be aired on the Fox network on Wednesday.

Miss Suleman, who gave birth to the octuplets in a Los Angeles hospital in January, is shown in the documentary sitting on her bed, surrounded by the eight screaming babies, as she attempts to feed them.

A British production company has also filmed a fly-on-the-wall documentary that could earn $250,000 (£150,000) for her children over the next three years and the same amount for her, prompting allegations that she is cashing in on her offspring.

The divorced 33-year-old Californian's life was turned upside-down when she gave birth to the world's longest-surviving octuplets. She already had six other children, aged two to seven.

Miss Suleman was also revealed to be an unemployed single mother, living on food stamps, who conceived all her 14 children through in vitro fertilisation."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

I'm Glad That Michael Vick Got Signed With The Eagles!


Everyone deserves a second chance in life.And Michael Vick is no exception to that.He paid his debt to society & I am glad that the Philadelphia Eagles recognized that fact.

Now,I took this comment from YouTube because it reflects the vitriol some people feel towards Michael Vick.This person even went so far as to compare Vick to OJ Simpson.Now,that's just crazy!Here's the comment from:

"ShogaNinja (16 minutes ago)

"The Eagles are thinking...we can save some money here by hiring Vick. We can get talent on the cheap. Well, after a crapload of people boycott the Eagles I think sagging merchandise sales will counteract the initial saving and eventually cost them money.

Bad move. Vick is the new O.J.
