Ewwwwwwwww!

So bed bugs disappeared for a long time, but in recent years they've come back in force — this time resisting insecticides.

Why?

Well, some researchers decided to study the hell out of them, and found very little genetic differences between the bugs during a given infestation — meaning that the problem probably started with just one or two bugs… and they inbreeded with each other to cause the war!

"We find that bedbug infestations basically start from a very small number of individuals. A single mated female bedbug starts the infestation. She gives rise to offspring and those offspring mate with each other and with their mother. This is different from many animals. In humans, it is taboo."

It's taboo because with many animals AND humans, it's both weird and gross, but also can create physical deformities.

Unfortunately, this might not lead to a better insecticide, but the more we understand, the better our chances.

We need a shower.

Eww! This is just INSANELY disgusting!

Instead of trusting vaccines to prevent their children from contracting diseases like Chickenpox and the Measles, some parents are purchasing lollipops online which were licked by other infected kids.

Why? To keep their offspring safe, of course!

A Facebook group called "Find a Pox Party in Your Area" is allowing parents to meet other parents with sick kids so they can swap spit — literally!

One posting from a Wendy Werkit of Nashville, Tenessee offered other group members a "fresh batch of pox in Nashville shipping of suckers, spit and Q-tips available tomorrow 50 dollars via PayPal."

Gross!

The woman explained herself to a local news broadcast, saying:

Now that's what we call a headline!

Keith Clinkscales, a former ESPN senior vice president, has found himself in a sticky situation. He is fighting allegations that he once masturbated on an airplane while sitting next to hot ESPN correspondent Erin Andrews.

To combat the story leaked to a sports blog by an anonymous source, Clinkscales filed a lawsuit against Joan Lynch, a former ESPN employee who he THINKS is the sport blog's source.

The allegations state that Andrews noticed Clinkscales playing a little pocket pool underneath his iPad while sitting next to her on the plane. When they uncomfortably locked eyes, he "panicked and muttered, 'You know, I'm one of your bosses."

Can somebody say…AWKWARD!

Andrews has supposedly verified the story, but did not complain to human resources because she "just wanted it to go away."

Well, that didn't work out as planned.

Clinkscales lawyer, hired just before the scandal hit the web, is calling the masturbatory allegations "ridiculous" and (this is our favorite) said:

“I’m thinking of bringing a defamation suit on behalf of his penis.”

Very professional. LOLz!

Their secret weapon to fend off the rumors is an email Andrews sent Clinkscales after the flight, which read:

“I wanted to touch base with you after our flight to LA. Would love to get on the phone with you, at some point, and talk upcoming projects and ideas.”

According to the lawyer, the email shows “the masturbation claim is a flat-out lie.” We're looking forward to hearing what Ms. Andrews has to say about this!

It's summertime and that means BEACH TIME! Yay!

Unfortunately, that also could mean exposure to contaminated water! Ewww!

Testing the Waters: A Guide to Water Quality at Vacation Beaches, a report released on Thursday, gathered data from 3,200 beaches across the country and found that beach closings had occurred 24,901 times in 2010 with 70% of those closings related to bacterial contamination in the water!

Yuck!

Contaminated water poses all sorts of risks including rashes, vomiting, bowel issues and serious infections.

Before you head to your favorite beach this summer, make sure it isn't on the “Top 10 Repeat Offenders” list for having dangerous water.

Check out the top ten most polluted beaches in America below!

NFL Star Lawrence Taylor, who was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, is now registering with a new team: Sex offenders.

After pleading guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute in January, the former New York Giants linebacker and Dancing With The Stars alum was sentenced this past Tuesday to six years probation and MUST register as a sex offender.

Yuck!

At a hearing in April, the judge will decide whether to classify Taylor as a Level 1, 2 or 3 (low, medium, or high) sex offender.

The teenage girl, whose name remains anonymous, appeared in court during his sentencing and spoke out beforehand saying:

"I am upset that he will not go to jail for what he did to me."

So are we!
