After “sticking a hanger in [her] vagina and “losing a baby” (like she was at the grocery store), crazy, crazy mother of two Gwen picked up HIV through a blood transfusion (or, in her words, “poison blood”), and is intent on spreading on to as many men as possible, which already includes “half of the New Orleans Police Department.” This clip is just one in a series of Ricki Lake Minisodes , which trims full episodes down to under five minutes, making them ripe for both cultural theorists and people who like their freak shows “fun-sized.”

CULTURE BUZZ: The Christian social worker deceived legions of loyal readers after blogging about being pregnant with a terminally ill baby - whom she planned to keep to term - before revealing it was all a hoax in the name of pushing her own pro-life agenda. Before apologizing on her blog, Beushausen posted pictures of her “baby,” which readers recognized as a doll. And, yes, the baby was, in fact, sold to her by our favorite company .

POLITICS BUZZ: Conservative crazies are mad at Krispy Kreme for offering FREE DOUGHNUTS ON INAUGURATION DAY to celebrate “freedom of choice” (because wingnuts don't like choice). This is a post about boneheaded conservatives, but it's really a post about free doughnuts. So, those of you who are sane and grasp the many meanings of the word “choice,” please head to Krispy Kreme next Tuesday to collect your abortion doughnut. Mmmm glaze.

Get an update every time an unborn child is killed in America. Wow. My day wasn’t depressing enough already. From the bio: “I die 3,700 times a day .” And it indeed updates some version of the phrase “silent scream” constantly.

CULTURE BUZZ: A blog by a 23-year-old, chronicling her abortion. She maintains the site’s not a fake, but came out of a need to document what’s happening, and also because Googling the phrase “abortion blog” resulted in sites that gave her nightmares.

TV BUZZ: Sherri Shepherd, a co-host on ABC’s The View , opened up in a black Christian women’s magazine to reveal that she has had several abortions. Even though I know you read Precious Times magazine religiously, there’s a slight chance you might have missed this tidbit. It’s so inspirational to know that people can have, like, 8 abortions and still muster a smile that huge.

CULTURE BUZZ: Yale art student Aliza Shvarts’ senior art project documents a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminates herself while inducing miscarriages over and over. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process. Finally, something that pro-lifers AND pro-choicers can agree on! Now both sides of the controversial debate can concur that gratuitous abortion art is pretty despicable.
