Singer Unable to Stop Farting After Surgery, Loses Job and Sues Government

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/wtf ... o_takeover


Following a routine surgery, opera singer Amy Herbst was left unable to sing without breaking wind.

Nashville Opera Company performer is now suing the government, claiming that the botched episiotomy she received during child birth last February has caused her to lose control of flatulence and bowel movements.

The surgery basically involves cutting the tissue between the anus and vagina for easier delivery. This time around, the cut didn't heal properly, leaving the singer with "a complete breakdown of the episiotomy and perineum and the external sphincter is disrupted and the vagina and rectum are basically connected without any perineal body."

Herbst is seeking $2.5 million in damages for being unable to perform. "She is suffering though a very embarrassing and very significant injury, and frankly, the prognosis of a fully successful repair is pretty low," the attorney stated.

The FCC to investigate how broadcasters select news stories.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle ... story.html

There has been much outcry from the conservatives, naturally, but not the left. Comparisons to "1984" are imminent. I personally don't have a problem with it. Anyway, it's only a study. It will be interesting to see what the broadcast medias answers will be when questioned about their "news philosophy", considering their perceived slanting by the much of the public. And not to mention the ill-informed reporting & how they choose their topics of discussion. I wish there was a way to regulate MSNBC's topics of interest, let's say like, updates on Justin Bieber?

I think they backed down from this, since they have no legal authority to do it and their mere presence there is an implied threat.

I don't completely understand that bill. Does that mean that ANY business can be bigoted if they so desire
