Worst Mother of the Year and Salò (the Poop-Eating Movie)

I don't have or want children, but I was appalled at this news story. I don't see how any mother could make the statement this woman did by saying, "I need my job more than I need my child." The general gist is that she works the overnight shift at Wal-Mart and says this means she only sees her daughter about an hour each day. For the reason, she wants to give up her daughter to whoever will take her. Fortunately, it appears that this woman's brother has stepped forward and asked for custody of the little girl. I couldn't give up my dog just like that, so I don't see how anyone could give up their kid just like that.

Jason and I watched Salò, an Italian film from 1975. Can you say crappola? It has been touted as one of the most controversial and disturbing films ever. I found it incredibly silly and worthy of the MST3K treatment. Once you take away realism, any subject matter loses its disturbing qualities. However, if you want to see copious boobs and penises, then definitely give this one a shot. However, if you do not want to see people eating poop (yes, poop), then you probably want to pass it over. There are quite a few poop-eating scenes with sexual undertones. Ewww. I'm just sayin'...

Okay, going to bed now. I've had my double shot of NyQuil and a large mug of chamomile tea. Oh, medication, I love you.
