Abercrombie & Fitch’s summer line of swimsuits includes a padded push-up bikini top for 7-year-olds.

This news comes to us the day after a story about a mother who is grooming her 8-year-old daughter to someday be a famous celebrity by injecting her with Botox and giving her a monthly “virgin wax” to make sure she doesn’t develop pubic hair because “it will save her a fortune in waxing when she’s older.”

We are fucking doomed.

“CNN has exclusively learned that Rep. Michele Bachmann will form a presidential exploratory committee. The Minnesota Republican plans to file papers for the committee in early June, with an announcement likely around that same time.”

“New rules allow investigators to hold domestic-terror suspects longer than others without giving them a Miranda warning, significantly expanding exceptions to the instructions that have governed the handling of criminal suspects for more than four decades.” [WSJ, via Raw Story]

EVENTS

About This Event:

Our guest columnist this morning writes to set the record straight about frog fucking, a subject we’re starting to regret stealing from Sully.

The male climbs atop the back of the female, grasping her with his forelimbs, either just behind her forelimbs (axillary amplexus) or around the waist (inguinal amplexus). Amplexus may begin on land, but is usually completed in water, since the eggs must be in a moist environment. Typically, the male and female shed gametes into the water, and fertilization is external.

Males of a number of species of frogs and toads have been known to get overexcited, and amplex inappropriate objects (other species, empty cans, etc.), or, at times, multiple males will attempt to amplex the same female, and wind up amplexing each other in a sort of a ball. 

In related news, this might explain why ADS Solutions changed its name from Amplexus Corporation last December. Tune in tomorrow when we explore the metaphysics of cow fucking.
