Well this seems like a good solution for the time being!

In Puebla, Mexico a privately funded venture, Pink Taxi de Puebla, has been launched to provide a safer, harassment-free transportation option for women in the city.

The cabs are bright pink and driven by female taxi drivers only for women only. Depending on the success of the program, the Pink Taxis could be expanded to other cities.

Some women's rights activists aren't pleased arguing that it doesn't get to the root of the problem. While this may be true, presently it seems like a decent option for women who are fed up with being treated poorly by male taxi drivers. One of the taxi drivers explains:

"Some of the women who have been on board tell us how male taxi drivers cross the line and try to flirt with them and make inappropriate propositions. They won't have that feeling of insecurity, and they feel more relaxed."

Not only do the pink taxis have a tracking device and emergency alarm buttons, but also beauty supplies available by request!

What do U think of this new women-only transportation method?

Falcon and friends are in BIG trouble!

The Heene Family is now under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Spokesman for the FAA Mike Fergus explains:

"This is unusual. But we investigate any air incident. The investigation is solely focusing on if we had any violations of our regulatory authority or regulations. This is a particularly peculiar [case] so I wouldn't even venture a guess what our legal department would do if it is found there was a violation."

The local authorities are already investigating Richard and Mayumi Heene for criminal behavior including influencing a public official and the delinquency of a minor.

Well you guys wanted attention and you got it!

Be careful what you wish for!

Benicio del Toro was a player before he even hit puberty!

In a recent interview in Playboy, Benicio revealed that while other celebs were late bloomers (nothing but love for you Tina Fey), he gave up his V-Card at the tender age of 13!

What?! Crazy!

He explains:

“I remember liking girls in pre-kindergarten in Puerto Rico, when I was only three or four. I was about 13 when I lost my virginity, and that first experience was totally a nervous situation. It was in a house with someone I had known only a little bit. She was slightly older, and she’d done it before … I wasn’t exactly a natural, but it was good. …”

Damn! Benicio had more game than some guys do now! And with an older woman!

An idol for young Puerto Rican boys everywhere for sure!

Sometimes vanity comes back to bite you in the ass!

Mexican rock star Alejandra Guzman recently underwent an operation to remove material from her buttocks after contracting an infection from some plastic surgery gone awry.

The singer was getting injections to "enhance" her butt and now she's at risk for paralysis! The serious operation was also to measure how badly her muscles had been damaged in addition to removing the foreign materials.

The owner of the clinic is in BIG trouble now and is being detained by the attorney general's office. This isn't the first time the clinic has been under fire as previous patients have made complaints of unqualified employees, including one who falsely claimed he was a doctor.

Shady, shady!

We hope your booty heals up soon with no problems, Alejandra!

This is unacceptable! It's 2009!

An interracial couple was denied a marriage license from the justice of the peace of Tangipahoa Parish Louisiana. Now there is a demand that Keith Bardwell step down from the position. Patricia Morris of the local NAACAP chapter says:

"He's an elected public official and one of his duties is to marry people. He doesn't have the right to say he doesn't believe in it. If he doesn't do what his position calls for him to do, he should resign from that position."

Apparently Bardwell's reasoning for refusing to issue the marriage license to Terrence McKay and Beth Humphrey was that in his experience interracial marriages do not last and he worries about the couple's future children. He insists that he's not racist:

"I'm not a racist. I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children."

We call BS and his behavior is completely racist!

Morris has said that she has forwarded the case to the statewide and nationwide levels of the NAACP. Good!

Love is love, people! Marriage should be for everyone!

Honestly, we'd like to get on board with this, but we won't. We don't like how everything from the 80s is being picked up for this generation, but re-envisioned into shiz.

If you were a fabulous little girl of the late 80s, you remember Rainbow Brite and her friends, the Color Kids. Brite was super cute, with just a little pudge to her size and she had "the most magnificent horse in the universe" named Skylite and she was all together just awesome!

Well, Brite has been brought to the new millennium and someone thought she would look much better if she was taller and thinner and more of a supermodel anime character rather than a cute cartoon.

Just what little girls need - another image they can't conform to! Thanks Hallmark!

Even the Sprites look weird!!!

No, no! We don't like this at all!

Do U?

He's found - and he's home!

He had untethered the balloon and then was hiding in a box in the attic, afraid he'd get in trouble.

It's good that he was found alive. Now it's time for him to get in trouble!!!!!
