Apparently you can have four wives in Saudi Arabia.  However, if you have more than that, it is considered adultery.  The Saudi goverment ordered a 56-year-old employee of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (CPVPV?) to 120 lashes for having 6 wives (20 lashes per wife).  Maybe if he had a good lawyer, he could have argued that he only cheated by 2 women and should have only received 20 lashes.  Idk.

Additionally, the man was required to memorize two chapters of the Holy Qur’an.  He’s also banned from travelling abroad for 5 years or leading prayers in the mosque.

The man actually got off easy because he could have been stoned to death for his crime.  Yikes…

…on this long-term girlfriend. I believe this is the first time that I have made a post about someone that has cheated on their girlfriend.  The rules are the same (monogamy), so I’m glad that he came out and confessed.

By he I mean Adam Giambrone, who is running for mayor of Toronto.  Adam is a seemingly young guy with a promising political career.  He is a member of the Toronto City Council and is chair of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).  If you remember, the TTC is the same entity that considered, but denied, placing Trashy Madison advertisements on their buses for $$$.

What’s interesting is that HE admitted to multiple affairs.  Politicians (or most men for that matter) don’t just up and do something so apparently someone was going to spill the beans.  It appears that he got freaky in his city council office with someone and she was going to put him on blast.

What’s more interesting about this story is that Giambrone is staying in the race.  Maybe he thinks people won’t react as bad because he was not married.  Maybe he thinks that we’re desensitized to cheating.  Maybe he’s one of those people that have always wanted to be mayor and not going to let anything get in his way. Who knows?

Based on the video attached to the article, he just had a girlfriend as a prop to make him look more like a family guy.  He literally sent the following in a text message

You know I will be announcing I have a partner…it is someone named Sarah, who I’ve been involved with in the past.  It is important for the campaign…I had to have someone political

I think it’s time to give it up Adam. You’re train has derailed sir.

Golf balls that is.  A company called Creative Classics have come out with novelty golf balls depicting cartoon images of the faces of Tiger’s Twelve.  One of them, former porn star Joslyn James, has spoken out against the balls claiming that they would promote violence against women.

This is quite humorous to me.  1) a former porn star that 2) slept with a married man is 3) worrying about NOVELTY golf balls.  This means that you’re not supposed to play with them Joslyn.  Moreover, pornography is unquestionably more harmful to women and society as a whole than novelty golf balls.

Here’s the a video link too.

Meet John Terry.  Terry is the Captain of England’s national soccer team.  This is a very prestigious position and it was previously held by Mr. David Beckham himself.  Anyway, Terry is a loving husband and father of two.  In 2009, he was named Father of the Year by a condiment company (see picture above).  And…apparently he likes to kick it with with other women.

Details about the ALLEGED affair were under a court order, but the judge lifted it and now the media can have a field day.  No one knows the name of the ALLEGED other woman.  I’m sure it won’t be long before that comes out though. How hard an it be to find out who this woman is?

The judge did say the woman in question was “a famous person” but not from the sporting world — and not as famous as Terry. British papers on Saturday reported that the woman was a model who already had a son with one of Terry’s former teammates, a player who may also be chosen for England’s World Cup team.

I’m glad that the judge decided to lift the privacy order.

Ambi Sitham, a media lawyer, called High Court judge Michael Tugendhat’s decision “hugely significant,” and said while those with legitimate privacy concerns would continue to be protected, people trying to escape scrutiny for other reasons won’t find relief in the courts.

“It’s a big red flag for high-profile people, who are increasingly using privacy law to keep sordid details out of the press,” she said.

I don’t feel sorry for Mr. Terry (or any cheater for that matter).  Mr. Terry apparently has a “bad boy” streak to himself and has been accused of adultery before.

I saw this headline a few days ago and didn’t think about reading it because I didn’t think that there was much of a story here.  I just read the story over lunch (thanks Instapaper!) and I must say that there are some really stupid people in this world.

Basically a Chinese woman decided to undergo plastic surgery to get her man back.  According to the article,

The woman, who works for a web firm, described to the [Shanghai Daily] how her Alba-obsessed 28-year-old ex-boyfriend hung photos of the actress on his walls and stored her image on his mobile phone.

The man demanded Xiaoqing do her make-up as Alba does, even when she slept, and gave her a blonde wig for Christmas, which he asked her to wear all the time.

She told the newspaper they broke up last month when she threw her wig and fake eyelashes to the ground after people laughed at her.

I’m glad that she left that psycho, but of course, there’s more…

But afterwards, she said she reconsidered.

“I love him very much…. that’s why I always followed his opinions. I don’t want to lose him,” the newspaper quoted her as saying.

And that’s why she got plastic surgery to look like Jessica Alba.  I don’t know what this woman looks, like but it doesn’t take much to look like Jessica Alba.  All of these celebrities are just a bunch of smoke and mirrors anyway.

Fortunately, the doctor is performing the surgery for free.  Nevertheless, this woman is pathetic (she claims that she is a psychologically weak person) and this guy is a weirdo. Maybe they really are made for each other.  Smh.

What's a Guy to Do?

You really thought that being a man of God stopped people from cheating?  You should know better than that.  Just look at Messy Jesse Jackson.  Today’s next man to take the walk of shame is Pastor Paul Sheppard.  He resigned from his post at Enduring Truth Ministries.  According to the website:

Dear Friend of Enduring Truth,

As many of you may or may not know, Pastor Paul Sheppard recently resigned as an officer and speaker for Enduring Truth Ministries due to moral failure. We’re all deeply saddened by these events. We ask that you remember him and his family in prayer during this trying time.

We wish to thank all of you for your prayerful and financial support of this ministry over the years. End of year giving statements will be mailed by January 31, 2010. After December 31st, 2009, you can call 877-95TRUTH for issues with orders.

By Grace,

Enduring Truth Ministries Staff

What a shame.  It’s one thing to let people down when you are a role model, but it’s even worse when you’re role is to lead people to God.  Apparently the Ten Commandments, Matthew 5:27-30, etc. mean nothing to him.

My mother has always said “Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman’s Score.” This post is all about revenge. I think the links do a pretty good job of explaining, so I won’t talk to much today.

First up, we’ve got Charles E. Phillips, President of Oracle. He and his mistress YaVaughnie Wilkins had a 8.5 year relationship.  Phillips gets back with his wife and Wilkins retaliated by taking out about $250,000 in BILLBOARDS in numerous cities to put him on blast. Dang homie. Source.

Update: This is actually a pretty big story.  We have an article and video from the Chicago Tribune.  She even managed to take out a billboard in Times Square.  I really hate the dialogue in the video.  Everyone makes this woman out to be a bad person.  Sure enough she’s crazy for putting up the signs up and she is a homewrecker (assuming she knew), but what about the guy.  He’s been playing with her emotions for 8.5 years. Now she’s 41 and very unlikely to get married.

Update 2: This story made even made international news! And with that, I create a new tag: Sucks to be You.

Second, Yvonne Fulbright chimes in on the pros and cons of revenge sex (you know sleeping with someone out of spite that you were cheated on). Ultimately she concludes that’s a really bad idea.  I agree. Source.
