As if our world wasn't getting any more absurd, South Koreans are giving their parents botox treatments, face lifts, and hair transplants for Parent's Day.

So how bout that. David Blaine attempting to stay underwater for a week.
He's been in this acrylic 8 foot snow globe-like sphere in New York City for a week.
He's being fed through tubes, and despite his skin peeling, severe headaches, and sharp joint pains, he is still going to do his finale act.

Like some of you already know, I go to school in Western Kentucky, which is very much so a part of the Bible Belt.

Another thing that is synonymous of where I live is the cultural mindset that people who live in the South in general have. A lot of people here are very closed-minded.
And I hate it for all of it to be a race thing. But here it goes. Read More »
Unlike most of you probably on here, I live in the Bible Belt.
Yes, the Bible Belt. It's not a myth. There are churches on every other block, and those "die-hard" Christians are preaching about their beliefs, and if you don't believe the same thing THEY do, apparently, you're going to hell.
