There's Something About Miriam




Recently I came across this reality television show that featured six men from Australia and the UK competing for the affection of Miriam, a model from Mexico. Recruitment ads for contestants promised "the adventure of a lifetime" with a £10,000 prize to men aged 20 to 35 who "want it all" and are "fit and up for everything. This show has been called the cruelest experiment ever (see the video above) and the production was sued by the six contestants at it's conclusion for deception. The show is produced by Endemol who have produced the following shows throughout Europe:

Blogger Virgin




OK.... I am a virgin, to blogger that is. Now don't get me wrong, I am familiar with blogging, as I have a Yahoo 360 page, just not familiar with Blogger. So far everything was pretty simple to setup.... about 10 minutes of setup and here I am typing my first entry- Blogger gets a big thumbs up for ease of use. Also, I like the variety of templates available, some are pretty cool looking, and the font/color choices are plentiful as well. So far, so good.
