Warning: The Apple iPhone has a glitch that will photograph your genitals and email it to hot women!
This was the claim by a woman named Susan in the Apple help forum. She was snooping through her husband’s iPhone and found a photo of his privates attached to an email in the Sent Mail folder. The email was addressed to another woman. Obviously, Susan assumed her husband might be cheating on her.
When Susan confronted her husband, he claimed this was a known iPhone glitch. He said the iPhone will take random photos while in your pocket, then email those photos to attractive female co-workers. Never mind the fact that it’s usually pitch dark in your pocket, and the phone would be completely surrounded by cloth and therefore not have a clear shot of anything, um, hanging nearby.
Susan wanted to know if this was possible, since the future of her marriage depended on the answer. The forum members were unanimous in their response: he’s having an affair. Their advice was to dump him immediately, though at least one writer wanted to see the photo.

There must be something in the water in Florida. In 2006, Republican U.S. Representative Mark Foley stepped down when it was discovered that he sent sexual text messages to male teenage pages who worked for him on Capitol Hill.
Replacing Foley was Democratic U.S. Representative Tim Mahoney. On Tuesday it was revealed that the married congressman was having an affair with a former aide and paid her $121,000 to keep quiet and avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit. But apparently one mistress was not enough, as Mahoney was having an affair with a second woman around the same time, according to a person close to his campaign.
Mahoney acknowledged he had caused “embarrassment and heartache” to his family but denied doing anything illegal. “No marriage is perfect,” Mahoney said, “but our private life is our private life.”
Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 by promising to return morals and family values to Washington after the resignation of Foley. Let’s see: infidelity, a cover-up, and infidelity again. Yes, these are the family values we wish to espouse to our children. Just another example of the moral failure and corruption in Congress.

No doubt you have heard of carbon offsetting. This is a service that enables you to pay money to assuage your conscience for your part in destroying the Earth.
This is how it works: Let’s say you want to fly to Hawaii for vacation. The jet you fly on will generate tons of CO2, which some scientists believe is the cause of global warming. To cover your portion of the pollution, you can purchase a carbon offset, and in return, the sellers promise to use your money to plant a tree.
Conservation and preservation of the planet is extremely important for our human species and all living things. But carbon offsets are just plain stupid. In most cases, it’s just a shell game that uses your hard-earned money to line the pockets of swindlers. Why do I believe this? Because there are thousands of web sites that will TAKE your money for carbon offsets, but not a single website that will PAY you money for any positive effects that you may have on the environment. In my opinion, you are better off spending your money on compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
But the overwhelming success of carbon offsets has some crooks thinking about how to use this shell game to lure other suckers. And voila, "cheat offsetting" is born. The concept is simple, as described on CheatNeutral.com:
"When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere. Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralizes the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience."
Unfortunately, the only thing you will be left with is an empty wallet and a bad case of genital warts. Instead, perhaps you should use that guilt money to buy your wife some flowers.
Thanks to Global Warming: Fact or Fiction? for this story.

Forty million Americans visit an Internet porn site at least once a month. The Web contains 400 million porn pages and growing. Fifty percent of divorce cases in 2002 involved porn.
In your parents’ era, porn was limited to a few Playboy magazines hidden in the basement. In the 1980s, the VHS tape enabled porn to move into the bedroom, but it was still limited by the relatively expensive cost of porn videos. With the Internet today, any fetish and perversion that you desire is abundant, often free, and just a few mouse clicks away.
So this is a problem?
Yes, according to the new book by Wendy and Larry Maltz, “The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography.” Porn may seem harmless at first, but it’s a slippery slope if you don’t keep yourself in check. According to the authors, here are some red flags that you may have a problem with pornography:
* You’ve become anti-social
* You’re lying to your partner
* You no longer find your partner attractive
* Your sex life with your partner is suffering
* Your concept of real intimacy has become warped
If your porn habit is causing you to neglect your partner sexually or emotionally, you should seek professional help with a therapist or sex counselor.
Former CNN anchorwoman Paula Zahn told friends her sexless marriage to Richard Cohen drove her into the arms of another man. Zahn said the fire went out of her 20-year marriage long before Cohen learned of her affair last August when he found his wife’s “lurid” sex diary. “She and Richard weren’t having sex for some time,” a friend said.
Friends of Cohen tell a different story: that Zahn betrayed him by sleeping with his close buddy, Paul Fribourg. “I trusted Paul and I trusted Paula,” Cohen told a friend. “I had no inkling there was a long-term romance.”
This he-said/she-said marriage implosion happens across the world on a daily basis, but such intimate details become news when it involves a naughty diary and a celebrity such as Zahn. Cohen’s friend called the diary “shocking” and “lurid.” Zahn’s friend said the handwritten diary was more about love than lust. “You know how it is when you’re first in love,” a friend said. “She was euphoric. She was like a 16-year-old schoolgirl.”
Zahn initially became famous from another “sex scandal.” In January 2002, CNN aired an advertisement for its American Morning news show hosted by Zahn. The commercial called Zahn “sexy” and used a zipper-opening sound effect. The network quickly pulled the ad after it received significant criticism for an “undignified and sexist portrayal of a serious journalist.”
