5 Toys You'll Regret Buying

Great list of five toys that will annoy you for the next two months if Santa puts them under your tree.

1. The Black Eyed Peas Experience for Xbox 360 Kinect. If you're tired of them on the radio, wait until you hear you them come out of your TV non-stop.

2. Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Apptivity Case. Yes, in theory this little device is genius. It protects your iPhone or iPod Touch from baby drool. But that's just it--it's your phone. Your baby doesn't need an iPhone, he/she needs a friggin rattle or something.

3. Paper Jamz Pro Guitar. I've actually never encountered this toy, but I can already tell it would annoy the crap out of any parent simply from the description. "A built-in whammy bar and accelerometer really make the guitar wail."

4. I Am T-Pain Microphone. On the one hand, yes, this mic is totally awesome. Who wouldn't want to autotune his/her voice? But something tells me it's going to get very old very quick. There's a reason you can only name 1 or 2 T-Pain songs--that's all your ears can handle.

5. My Baby Alive. I get the whole toddler fascination with babies, but this doll is just a bad idea. Think about it. The whole joy of having a doll is that you don't have to clean up excrement. And you don't have to buy diapers! But this doll? Oh yes, she poops and pees and her replacement diapers are conveniently sold separately.

Life

The Principal Is a Party Animal!

Students at Jane Addams High School in New York are passing around a picture of their principal, Sharron Smalls, getting crazy with a topless man. The picture shows a man dancing with Sharon while pouring what looks like chocolate all over her. Where did the students get the photo? Her Facebook page. She used it as her PROFILE PICTURE! Sharron is in hot water today. See the photo here

It's Sad When..

...teenagers are more mature than their principals! A national study finds that teen sexting isn't really a big deal. In fact, only 1% of kids ages 10 to 17 have shared nude images of themselves with others. That 1%, by the way, leans heavily toward older teens. More here

Woman has 30 Bridesmaids

Where do you draw the line with bridesmaids? 5, 6, 7? How many is too many? Where do you draw the line? You don't, according to Joyce McDevitt who refused to deny anyone if they wanted to pay for the dress. "I could have had even more bridesmaids -- but I decided that 30 was enough. I had to draw the line somewhere." See her gang here

Relationships

5 Reasons Women Don't Like Nice Guys

1. It's hard for some of us to trust a Nice Guy. Not because they're not trustworthy -- in fact, it's quite the opposite. The more trustworthy a guy seems, the harder it may be for a woman to actually believe that they're as good as they seem

2. Bad Boys care about themselves -- a lot -- and it makes us think they care about us. That's not a great thing in a relationship; however, it means that while the Nice Guy will bide his time, waiting for the right moment to ask a girl out, the Bad Boy will swoop in and tell her what he wants -- her

3. Nice Guys have their act together. Bad Boys don't. Women like a challenge.

4. Some women are afraid of intimacy. The one thing the Bad Boy rarely does is want to become intimate

5. Some women suffer low self-esteem. Women who don't feel very good about themselves may not be able to handle the Nice Guy that treats her well.

There ya go! Five reasons you'll be single for the rest of your life. More here
