Happy belated Thanksgiving!
Comments are way up, and we're in need of a new post. MckMama posted a few of her first photo shoot pictures. Did anyone contact her about her Atlanta photo shoot? What did she charge for her half hour sessions? Were those first pictures worth the money?
La Sora Cesira e un italico rimprovero
Non posso fare un saltino fuori dalla nostra fantastica penisola che subito mi devo arrabbiare con i miei amati compaesani.
Tralasciamo per un momento il fatto che mi sono recata in California, cosa che per un abitante dell'italandia odierna ė un po' come recarsi sull' anello di Saturno, e concentriamoci sul fatto che noi italioti non ne facciamo mai una giusta.
Allora,salgo sull'alitalico velivolo e mi porgono un quotidiano nostrano pensando di farmi una cortesia.
Apro, sorrido alla vista del nano delle meraviglie,vengo a sapere che ad Avetrana hanno aperto un outlet, un mirabilandia con ruota panoramica sul garage del delitto e che cugina Sabrina e zio Michele sono innocenti, perchè in realtá stanno coprendo Barbapapà, vero assassino della povera Sarah. Scopro anche che Wikileaks denuncia un piano sotterraneo per screditare l'Italia, che con il dovuto rispetto sarebbe come denunciare un complotto per dare il Viagra a Rocco Siffredi.
Ad un certo punto peró leggo l'orrore degli orrori.
Qualcuno sta cercando di annientare la credibilità del nostro ministro della cultura Sandro bondi, esimio poeta e uomo di fulgida lungimiranza.
Ma dico siamo impazziti?!
Sua eccellenza sarebbe colpevole di aver ospitato a Venezia,a spese del nostro governo, la famosissima attrice bulgara Michelle Bonev, indimenticata interprete di capolavori quali la pubblicità dell'amaro del finanziere ed il lungometraggio "Bulgaria Bulgaria per piccina che tu sia".
Embė? E che un attrice famosa che viene a dar lustro ad un festival italiano deve pure pagare?
Ma secondo voi, se una superstar nostrana tipo Panariello va all'estero, si deve pagare il viaggio?
E poi che sono 400.000 eurini di spese se al seguito puoi vantare uno staff fidatissimo di una quarantina di persone? Ve lo dico io, sono una cifra irrisoria se la dividiamo per 25 milioni di italiani amanti della cultura e del cinema.
E la sapete una cosa popolino di invidiosi? La signora Bonev a Venezia ha vinto anche un premio prestigioso che non so come si chiama ma che Meryl Streep lo vede col binocolo.
Voglio anche aggiungere che qualcuno,che proprio non conosce vergogna, accusa il buon Bondi anche di aver assunto al ministero il figlio della sua compagna. Beh, allora ditelo che cercate rogna.
Non ci lamentiamo della disoccupazione se poi un ministro della repubblica non può aiutare un giovane a trovare lavoro, dando gran sollievo tra l'altro ad una ragazza madre.
Mi auguro sinceramente che noi tutti ci si possa un po' ricredere rispetto a certi accadimenti , ma soprattutto mi auguro che questo aeroplano su cui mi trovo possa, senza nocumento alcuno, essere dirottato in Zumbundia, dove con tante probabilità noi trecento passeggeri potremmo essere felici.
Alcune liriche di Sandro Bondi- ministro della repubblica italiana sottratto alla poesia,che commossa ringrazia.
Battiti
E leggiadra ti vidi, poi no
Uno screzio dell'intimo, il lascito di un attimo, forse
E te ne andasti che peggio non poté essere
Come Puro battito
E batteva il mio cuore
Battevano i rintocchi del tempo
Battevano le ali sparse
Sí come il ricordo batteva
E pure tu non scherzavi mica
Il blu
Oh eccolo
Il blu si avvicina, pare
Come rondine di un incerto,infinito divenire
Poi l'immenso, e un'unica domanda
A lavorà no eh?

La Sora Cesira, l' iPhone e la tecnologia alleata
Da brava Cesira tecnologica, visto l'uso immenso di iPhone e iPad nella penisola italica, ho deciso di guidarvi all'acquisto delle App indispensabili per la vita di tutti i giorni.
Non capisco sinceramente come si faccia al giorno d'oggi a campare sereni senza tutte le innovazioni che abbiamo a disposizione.
Sapete bene che nel negozio virtuale della Apple sono presenti milioni di applicazioni in grado di migliorarci la vita sotto vari punti di vista, perchè allora non sfruttarle al meglio?
Così ho deciso di guidarvi verso il download, gratuito e non , di questi piccoli miracoli in codice binario.
Un'app fondamentale se si soffre di stitichezza è iWc ( € 0,70 ).
Essa è in grado di produrre delle vibrazioni benefiche e una musica " induttiva" scelta fra le più propedeutiche di iTunes.
Nelle prime libraries troviamo l'intera discografia di Pupo, alcuni duetti di Al bano e Romina e il greatest hits di Christian.
iWc inoltre è utilissimo se avete una tazza con presa usb o firewire, in questo caso infatti è in grado di immagazzinare i vostri dati e determinare con uno scarsissimo margine di errore la vostra prossima evacuazione.
iGas ( gratuita), sempre per rimanere in tema, è un'app che permette di individuare a distanza la scia di coloro che si sono lasciati un po' andare convinti che stando all'aperto non ci si accorga di loro.
In questo caso la preziosa app, attivando all'istante il gps, è in grado di segnalarvi un percorso alternativo, mandando contestualmente un sms di insulti al molestatore delle vostre narici.
Una vera geniata è sicuramente iStupr ( €0,70 ).
Essa è un'app rivolta alle donne in caso di minaccia di violenza sessuale.
Infatti, in caso di aggressione, basta spingere un qualsiasi pulsante dell'iphone per proiettare sul muro più vicino una vostra foto invernale con gamba non rasata, inguine incolto, capitello da gambaletto in nylon e mutanda Sloggi. Tutto ciò basterà per far scomparire all'istante il molestatore più testardo.
Chiudo la prima puntata di questa utile rassegna segnalandovi un'app progettata per gli amanti dei cani.
Si tratta di iScapp ( € 0,70 ) studiata per chi, pur portando con sè la preziosa bustina, non ha nessuna intenzione di raccogliere la cacca del proprio Alano, Schnauzer gigante o Pastore del Caucaso.
Pertanto, In caso di deiezione dell'amato animaletto, la preziosa app fa squillare il telefono avvisando il proprietario di correre a casa per un'emergenza e sfidando anche il più puntiglioso dei vigili urbani a staccare una multa.
Lasciatemi infine dire due parole su iVabbuò ( gratuita ), un'altra app dedicata al mondo femminile.
Noi donne sappiamo che spesso, durante un incontro sessuale, siamo per così dire " portate", un po' dalla misericordia, un po' dal quieto vivere, a fingere grande soddisfazione in luogo di noia soprannaturale.
Da oggi con iVabbuò , i nostri problemi sono finalmente risolti.
La magica app infatti fa in modo che dal telefonino escano suoni e gemiti di inequivocabile godimento carnale, mentre sul display scorrono le puntate delle nostre serie tv preferite, rendendo piacevolissimi i nostri incontri con il flaccido coniuge.
Beh, che dire… Ci si lamenta tanto delle fredda tecnologia per poi scoprirsi a spendere migliaia di euro, che neanche si posseggono, per restare aggiornati su pc, cellulari, tv led e quant'altro.
Rendiamoci conto allora che la tecnologia è nostra alleata, e se ve lo dice la Cesira, casalinga d'altri tempi, c'è da crederci gente.
Changes
I'm still here. I've read through the comments and I wanted to alleviate any concern that this blog was going to fall to the wayside. I apologize to anyone who finds following both forums difficult - the idea is to provide a secondary place to talk about anything (even about MckMama), to discuss ideas that might be more nit-picky and to chat with other commenters in better depth, especially when things bog down here and Disqus won't load.
I would love to see commenters continue to bring things they think are important to MWOP if they think it's something that needs to be posted here. I knew that comments would fall off, and I'm fine with that if it's a solution that works better for the majority.
I have been quiet more because I was pretty pissed off about this last week. MckMama has what many of her loyal readers would die for - a popular blog with many followers and advertising to support her family. And she cannot stop screwing it up. This woman won't change.
In case you missed it, MckMama was dropped by the two ad agencies she picked up after being dropped by BlogHer for plagiarism. Readers here emailed her ad agency, as did readers of her blog, in regards to the thrashing she put on homosexuals over the weekend. Ultimately it was their choice to drop her, and I truly doubt they succumbed to the pressure of a handful of tweets and emails. I'm sure they researched and made their own decisions based on her content.
In the end, though, it comes down to the fact that she won't learn or change. Now she's down to Google Ads (which pay piddly amounts) and a few ad blocks from her own advertising efforts. Anyone can put Google Ads on their site, and they don't pay well.
Relationships between MckMama and companies have been severed continuously since May. She is a skid mark for Christians, bloggers, and mothers of many, among other groups.
What else does she have to lose? What else can she lose?
I see now that there's zero chance she'll revive herself and become someone her readers can admire or enjoy once again. I feel sorry for her family, and for her.

Trying something new
We're only at 775 comments and things are slowing down because of Disqus. Sadly, Disqus is necessary in order to keep up with comments. Several commenters have suggested over the past few months that we try a different forum and I agree it's probably a good idea.
I'm not up for such a task, but two regulars here, Pink and aliensintheattic, set up something new - a forum.
Please visit this new forum and see if it might be a good fit for when things bog down here, or for discussing something off topic with other MWOP readers.
Thanks to both ladies for volunteering their time and efforts in this new community.

Is hypocrisy a sin?
MWOP's base rules from day one state, "We are not a blog about religion, please do not comment or assume that we are all Christians." However, MckMama has opened one heck of a can of worms this week when she decided to parade her thoughts on sin and homosexuality on her blog, Facebook and Twitter pages. Oh, and Blog Frog. I don't want to start a debate here on whether or not homosexuality is a sin and inborn.
I do have to ask, Bitch, please. Who do you think you are?
MckMama has not stated exactly what religion she follows, other than she's "spiritual but not religious," but I believe her current church has Baptist roots.
That in mind, there are some religions out there that believe in the Seven Deadly Sins. Heard of those? These are considered the Bad Boys of the Catholic church. While the Baptist church believes all sins (and there's lots) separate a follower from God and all sins are punishable, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to whittle the list down to a select, well-known few, and see where MckMama stands against these Bad Boys.
Sins (from http://whitestonejournal.com/index.php/seven-deadly-sins)
And from Proverbs 6:16-19 (New International Version):
Based on the descriptions above and what you might know of these sins, how many strikes are there against MckMama? And how can she, if she is Baptist and all sins are equal, even fathom preaching about what she thinks of other "sinners"?

Sins (from http://whitestonejournal.com/index.php/seven-deadly-sins)
Pride: Seeing ourselves as we are and not comparing ourselves to others is humility. Pride and vanity are competitive. If someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride.
Avarice/Greed: This is about more than money. Generosity means letting others get the credit or praise. It is giving without having expectations of the other person. Greed wants to get its "fair share" or a bit more.
Envy: "Love is patient, love is kind..." Love actively seeks the good of others for their sake. Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times.
Wrath/Anger: Kindness means taking the tender approach, with patience and compassion. Anger is often our first reaction to the problems of others. Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.
Lust: Self control and self mastery prevent pleasure from killing the soul by suffocation. Legitimate pleasures are controlled in the same way an athlete's muscles are: for maximum efficiency without damage. Lust is the self-destructive drive for pleasure out of proportion to its worth. Sex, power, or image can be used well, but they tend to go out of control.
Gluttony: Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance. This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.
Sloth: Zeal is the energetic response of the heart to God's commands. The other sins work together to deaden the spiritual senses so we first become slow to respond to God and then drift completely into the sleep of complacency.
And from Proverbs 6:16-19 (New International Version):
16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Based on the descriptions above and what you might know of these sins, how many strikes are there against MckMama? And how can she, if she is Baptist and all sins are equal, even fathom preaching about what she thinks of other "sinners"?

Less than a week later...
Welp, that's the end of the rabbit. Let's hope a cat has better luck. This cat is an outdoor animal. Are outdoor cats common during the winter in Minnesota?
If you missed it, MckMama has ads once again. Please use the link on the right to click on her site to avoid advertising clicks. I haven't looked into the policies of this new advertising agency, but maybe since she plagiarized before she had a contract with them they made an allowance for her.
