PSYCHING OUT: Stripper Edition

I was just having my one-on-one time with my television tonight, and all of the sudden I saw "G-String Divas" on my HBO listing. Did I watch it? HELL YES! Why wouldn't I? I pay good money for these premium babies, I'm gonna milk all the shows till its dry. Also, I know somewhere deep inside me, I'm a natural born ho (or a pervert).

*Chrissy the ex-therapist

No, it wasn't porno, it was a documentary following the lives of strippers. And one of the strippers (Chrissy) has a MASTERS in psychology and actually started therapy work before becoming an exotic dancer. What crossed through my mind was: is it that horrible to become a therapist that you have to resort to stripping? Or maybe therapy is alright, but by stripping, is it in itself a form of therapy for both you and your customers? 

As a psychology major graduate, I was thinking if this is a sign from the Universe of what is becoming of my future. BOM-CHIKA-WAW-WAW!

On more totally unretardedness issues: HELP MAKE POLE DANCING AN OFFICIAL SPORT IN THE 2012 OLYMPICS! Some MORMON women are petitioning it to become a klassified event in the near future. Mormon and pole dancing? Don't ask, just make it happen.

PSYCHING OUT: Celebrity Rehab Edition

My plan today was to stay at home and sleep in this oh-so-wonderful weather (look at post below). All the local schools, along with Fordham, Pace, and FIT universities have been closed today. NOT NYU THOUGH! But then I got an e-mail from my Psychology of Addiction professor stating: 

I know that some of you are wrestling with commuting issues. My intention for today is to give a brief talk and to then show the Celebrity Rehab video for about an hour and then have a discussion in which students can express their reactions.

Professor K------

I was TORN! As you know, I am quite a big VH1 fan! I watch this show once in a while, but never under academic pretenses. AHAHAHAHA! So yes my viewerships, I went to class in the midst of a freakin snow storm to watch MORE TV! I realized what is wrong with that sentence, but yet I am not ashamed of myself.  

The prof had the DVD for the first season, and quite honestly it was an enjoyable show; and by that moment, he became THE COOLEST PROFESSOR EVER!  This show basically takes (Z-listed) "Celebrities" (Chyna, Mary Cary, Daniel Baldwin, etc) and puts them in rehab and see how they go through their detox and addiction. He promised that we will watch the entire season by the end of this semester :D

I AM SO PSYCHED!

PSYCHING OUT: Real Chance of Love Edition

Hi you guys, this is "Bubbles," a contestant from Real Chance of Love (one of my many favorite shows from VH1). Bubbles here has gotten a certification for ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis [i don't even know what it is for....]) after she was eliminated from the show. Anyways, she thinks she's better than all those other bitches and hoes because she knows the term "positive reinforcement." (If you are interested, its basically like giving your dog a treat if he learns how to sit, therefore reinforcing the good behavior). But it got better when one other contestant said "I'll positive reinforce your ass!" I don't even know what that means, I don't even think it's possible for anyone to positively reinforce an ass. oh, maybe it is possible. whatever. this puts a shame to all psychologists out there.

PSYCHING OUT: Cannibal edition

I'm going to go off and discuss/complain/share about psychology matters once in a while. Funny enough, I barely had any interest when I decided to pick up this major. Now I can't stop blabbing about it amongst my other TV things. I have very patient friends. 

So, a friend of mine told me to read this Vice Magazine article about Issei Sagawa, a guy who killed and ate a whole woman mostly RAW (he kept some of the meat in the fridge so he could eat it for days)... It was actually interesting but yet I was still disturbed by the interview, so I thought I should share my disturbances with the world (yes, you are welcome). Mr. Sagawa thinks that its REALLY OK to kill and eat someone and he's still looking for his next meal ticket. He prefers that his next "victim" to be a young, beautiful Japanese woman...  A warning to the targeted demographic: don't wear short skirts, because this one guy will want to eat your ass (not in a good way). I'm not going to post a large photo, because I find him to be creepy. 

uh, how he talks about food: 

"At first I bit into her butt with the intention of munching right through, but it’s impossible! Human skin is so thick. I ended up with a sore jaw, although I managed to leave some teeth marks. I ended up swallowing the clitoris and some pubes without chewing on it because she had her period then and the smell was just horrendous. But it was the first moment that I actually felt a sort of sexual pleasure in eating her, as if my inner body was on fire. Also, you know how beef or whale meat has a sort of beastly smell to it? Human meat is odorless. I actually believe that human meat is the tastiest of all meats. It doesn’t have any of that gamey animal smell. When I ate some more a couple of days later, just before I got arrested, the meat had become sweeter and it tasted great. The meat on the soles of her feet smelled bad, though, and didn’t taste very nice. The neck was the best. The meat tastes more delicate as you move up the body, especially above the torso. Her tongue was delicious as well. I took it out of her mouth and chewed on it raw. Neither the neck nor the tongue has much meat on it, though, so if you really want to feast, you should eat the thighs. "

Even though he's disturbed, I find it that he seems to be well educated and very eloquent about his "problem." I feel that its like the extreme opposite of a phobia. (I know a person who would freak the fuck out when she's in the same room with a spider, or when she thinks she sees a spider on the other side of the road. kuhraazy) Anyways, maybe its an extreme fetish version of biting people. (I know some of you like to bite, i've dated some biters, so don't lie to me please.) Because he believes that even kissing is a cannibalistic urge, you want to kiss the person, therefore you want to taste the person's flavor... it makes sense, but non-cannibals do it for foreplay to sex, you do it as eating hor's doeuvre before your meal. GARGANTUAN DIFFERENCE.  

-sidenote: did you know that cannibalism isn't a taboo amongst all culture, the only consistent taboo for everyone is incest. 

anyways, here's the article, i've warned you. 

WHO'S HUNGRY?

uh, i'm not sure if its NSFW, but its still pretty gross. a picture of the body that they found of the girl... Thank the Universe that the picture is old and small

*thanks Pey for making me read this article.
