Either Geraldo Rivera is getting his presidents and terrorists mixed up, or there's something very Freudian about his slip o'the tongue.
OK. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart ... and equally hard to determine whether Geraldo's a joke or not.

Using hygiene products and still can't score? Sue 'em ...
Just about everything that is sold in the world is advertised with, ahem, slightly inflated claims. This could be anything to your car (loaded, clean, low mileage), to your laundry soap (whiter than white), or even yourself (check your job resume sometime).
And that's understood. Puffery is a big part of sales. And sex sells; a lot of really peripheral things (such as your car or laundry soap) are sold along that angle.
But you heard the one about the guy in India who's suing the manufacturer of Axe Body Spray because he's been using the company's products for seven years and still hasn't found a girlfriend? Seriously. Vaibhav Bedi, 26, is suing Unilever, owner of Lynx (their product line includes Axe body spray), for 26,000 pounds. He says his lack of any real sex life is causing him all sorts of depression and psychological damage.
Already I'm wondering what this guy looks like. Probably looks like Michael Moore with a bad gas problem an abrasive personality, and lives with his mother.
Good thing his case isn't being tried in the People's Republic of California. He'd be an odds-on favorite to win his case.

---------Michael Jackson's dad blows Father Of The Year chances
I've always had some serious questions about Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's father. I mean, ol' Michael didn't exactly have what you'd call a normal childhood. Rather than playing baseball in a vacant lot, the Jackson kids were honing their act, playing their music, and making a ton of dough for Dad.
And now, a few months after his meal ticket died, Pops was having his say. At the opening of the posthumous film This Is It, Joe said that Michael is worth more dead than he was alive.
Gee, with fathers like that ...

Father preserves his son's ashes -- in a tattoo
More stuff I can't make up. From the BBC:
A father says using his two-year-old son's ashes in the ink for a chest tattoo of the boy will be a "lasting tribute" to him.
At least this guy has feelings for his deceased son, but a wacko is still a wacko.
