10 Craziest TV Shows

1. Who Wants To Marry A U.S. Citizen? (2007)

 "Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?" was a show devised by Morusa Media in California in 2007, which by the end of that year had already come up with the first pool of contestants and a host signed up. The idea? A lucky, single American woman goes on dates with three handsome but illegal immigrants and at the end picks one with which to spend the rest of her life. Sounds like a fun way to get a green card but the producers made no promises that a marriage would occur or lead to U.S. citizenship. The host, Angelo Gonzales argued: 'There are thousands of US citizens seeking a spouse, and just as many immigrants seeking the same. So we want to make it a win-win situation for all involved'. Oh, well.

2. The Littlest Groom (2004)

 

 "The Littlest Groom" was a weak attempt at a stand out among dating shows — think "The Bachelor" – on a smaller scale: a dozen dwarf women competing with average-sized females for the affections of a 4-foot-5-inch bachelor. It had very little success.

3. Bad Dads (2008)

"Bad Dads" was Fox's project for 2008 and was meant to tap the power of its unscripted division for the forces of good. The network had ordered a pilot from 3Ball Productions in which an avenger of penniless single mothers hunts down deadbeat dads and humiliates them into paying child support with the cameras running. Of course the show had a zillion critics before even getting it pilot. According to the protesters, the worst part about Bad Dads was the way it would publicly humiliate children of divorce parents by depicting their fathers as not loving or caring for them. These children did not volunteer to be humiliated on national television.

4. Wolfboy: Divorced and Looking for Love (2009)

31 year old Larry Ramos Gomez, who performs daredevil acrobat acts with his brother Danny, suffers from a condition known as hypertrichosis, as a result, his face is full of hair. Better known as Wolfboy, Gomez was recently approached by a company called Zoo Productions and asked him to star in a dating show sensitively titled Wolfboy: Divorced and Looking for Love, in which he will be filmed attempting to find his soulmate. But of course, Zoo Productions denied all accusations relating to the exploitation of Gomez's condition. It's just a regular man trying to find some true love… in front of an audience, obviously.

5. Mr. Personality (2003)

The reality show hosted by the famous political bimbo Monica Lewinsky was truly absurd. In the show, one woman chooses her perfect mate – sight unseen, courtesy of dorky masks — by personality alone. Yeah, Monica Lewinsky was the perfect girl for the job, since she certainly choose the president for his persona.

6. The Real Housewives of Orange County (2006-present)

The show's title and introduction alludes to the ABC show "Desperate Housewives" as well as the Fox teen drama "The OC" and touts itself as these two fictional shows' "real-life" counterpart. Basically this real life show is like watching 5 Dinah Lohan' s ruin their kids lives while trying to appear trendy and famous. But for some reason, people can't get enough of this one. Super rich vapid housewives… who would think anyone would care?

7. Temptation Island (2001-2003)

The concept of the show was based on four unmarried couples with relationship problems who were thrust onto an island to test their supposed monogamy. We have seen worst love reality shows after that, although Temptation Island was actually pretty controversial in its time. Believe it or not, it actually got three seasons on TV.

8. Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? (2000)

"Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?" was Fox's reality show in which 50 women competed to be an unknown multi-millionaire's bride who was revealed to be Rick Rockwell, whom they did not see except in silhouette. He selected Conger and married her on the spot. Shortly after the series, reports surfaced that Rockwell had failed to disclose to the series producers that a former girlfriend of his filed a restraining order against him for domestic violence. Questions were also raised as to whether Rockwell was actually a multi-millionaire. FOX stated that Rockwell had $750,000 in liquid assets and a net worth just more than $2 million.

According to the winner, the marriage was never consummated.

9. Pink Lady (1980)

For those who don't remember, "Pink Lady" was a short-lived variety show that aired for four weeks on NBC in 1980, starring the musical duo of the same name. The series starred this Japanese female singing duo, which comprised two singers, Mie and Kei, and American comedian Jeff Altman. The format of the show consisted of musical numbers alternating with sketch comedy. The running gag of the series was the girls' lack of understanding of American culture and the English language (in reality, Pink Lady did not speak fluent English). Jeff would then attempt to translate and explain the meaning of things which led to more confusion.The series also featured Pink Lady performing various songs (usually English-language disco and pop songs such as "Boogie Wonderland" or "Yesterday", which the duo sang in English) along with interaction with celebrity and musical guests.

The best part of the show? The group would end each episode by jumping into a hot tub together. The series was canceled after five episodes, thankfully.

10. Boy Meets Boy (2003)

You would expect that the first same-sex dating show would do some revolution on TV. Instead, viewers watched gay bachelor James Getzlaff romance 15 men; unknown to him, where half of them were just pretending to be gay and would win a prize when they got chosen. People who watched the series considered it cruel, offensive, and worst of all, boring.

5 Maddest Scientists

1. Josef Mengele: The Angel of Death

 Joseph Mengele gained notoriety chiefly for being one of the SS physicians who supervised the selection of arriving transports of prisoners, determining who was to be killed and who was to become a forced laborer, and for performing human experiments on camp inmates, amongst whom Mengele was known as the "Angel of Death."

At Auschwitz, Mengele did a number of twin studies. After the experiment was over, these twins were usually murdered and their bodies dissected. He supervised an operation by which two Gypsy children were sewn together to create conjoined twins; the hands of the children became badly infected where the veins had been resected. Mengele was almost fanatical about drawing blood from twins, mostly identical twins. He is reported to have bled some to death this way

Auschwitz prisoner Alex Dekel has said: "I have never accepted the fact that Mengele himself believed he was doing serious work — not from the slipshod way he went about it. He was only exercising his power. Mengele ran a butcher shop — major surgeries were performed without anesthesia. Once, I witnessed a stomach operation — Mengele was removing pieces from the stomach, but without any anesthetic. Another time, it was a heart that was removed, again, without anesthesia. It was horrifying. Mengele was a doctor who became mad because of the power he was given. Nobody ever questioned him — why did this one die? Why did that one perish? The patients did not count. He professed to do what he did in the name of science, but it was a madness on his part".

2. Vladimir Demikhov: The Two-Headed Dog Surgeon

 On 1954, soviet surgeon Vladimir Demikhov, revealed his masterpiece to the world: a two-headed dog. The head of a puppy had been grafted onto the neck of an adult German shepherd. The second head would lap at milk, even though it did not need nourishment — and though the milk then dribbled down the neck from its disconnected oesophagus. Although both animals soon died because of tissue rejection, that did not stop Demikhov from creating 19 more over the next 15 years. (Video)

3. Johann Conrad Dippel: The original Frankenstein

Johann Conrad Dippel was such a mad scientist that he was actually born in castle Frankenstein in 1673, a place near near Darmstadt, Germany. He is said to be the model for Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein", though that idea remains controversial.

After studying theology, philosophy and alchemy, he created an animal oil made of bones, blood and various other animal products, known as Dippel's Oil which was supposed to be the equivalent to the alchemists' dream of the "elixir of life." It is said that some of his work on anatomy involved boiling various body parts in large vats to make some kind of mad man stew, and that he also tried his hand at moving the soul from one corpse to another, possibly with a funnel, a hose and a lot of lubricant. 

4. Shiro Ishii: Dr. Pure Evil

 Ishii was a microbiologist and the lieutenant general of Unit 731, a biological warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He was born in the former Shibayama Village of Sanbu District in Chiba Prefecture, and studied medicine at Kyoto Imperial University. In 1932, he began his preliminary experiments in biological warfare as a secret project for the Japanese military. In 1936, Unit 731 was formed. Ishii built a huge compound — more than 150 buildings over six square kilometers — outside the city of Harbin, China.

Some of the numerous atrocities committed by Ishii and others under his command in Unit 731 include: vivisection of living people (including pregnant women who were impregnated by the doctors), prisoners had limbs amputated and reattached to other parts of their body, some prisoners had parts of their bodies frozen and thawed to study the resulting untreated gangrene. Humans were also used as living test cases for grenades and flame throwers. Prisoners were injected with inoculations of disease, disguised as vaccinations, to study their effects. To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea via rape, then studied. Having been granted immunity by the American Occupation Authorities at the end of the war, Ishii never spent any time in jail for his crimes and died at the age of 67 of throat cancer.

5. Sergei Bruyukhonenko: The Dog Decapitator

 Way before Vladimir Demikhov, Bruyukhonenko's mad experiments on dogs led to the development of open-heart procedures. He developed a crude machine called the autojektor (a heart and lung machine). By using this primitive machine, Bryukhonenko kept the heads of severed dogs alive. In 1928, he displayed one of the heads in front of an audience. To prove it was real, he banged a hammer on the table. The head flinched. When a light was shone in its eyes, the eyes blinked. And when it was fed a piece of cheese, the remnants promptly popped out of the esophageal tube, much to the displeasure of disgusted viewers. (Video)

6 Craziest Names

1. James Dr No From Russia with Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diamonds Are Forever Live and Let Die The Man with the Golden Gun The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eyes Only Octopussy A View to a Kill The Living Daylights Licence to Kill Golden Eye Tomorrow Never Dies The World Is Not Enough Die Another Day Casino Royale Bond.

According to the Scotsman, this James Bond fanatic has changed his name to incorporate all 21 Bond films. David Fearn, 23, from Staffordshire is now officially known as "James Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live .[you get the idea] Bond", the longest name in deed poll history. Mr Bond, from Walsall, said: "I wanted to be James Bond and now I am - it's the ultimate fantasy. I can't wait for the first time somebody asks me what my name is."

 

2.Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116.

 Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced "albin") was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991. The boy's parents had planned to never legally name him at all, as a protest to the naming law of Sweden.

Because the parents (Elisabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents 5,000 kronor (US$682 at the time). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine. The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced "albin") instead. Once again, the court did not approve of the name, this time because of a prohibition on one-letter naming. 

 3. John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood.

John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood (born 1963) is one of the most recognisable football fans in England. He decided at school not to follow the trend, common in the televisual age, to follow a successful top-division club. Instead he made a trip to Fratton Park, home of Portsmouth F.C. and was hooked. When he left school he went to work at his father's second-hand bookshop and over time built up a sound grasp of the book trade. Simultaneously, Westwood began to attend ever-increasing numbers of "Pompey" matches. As his commitment grew, so too did his range of Portsmouth F.C themed accessories. In 1994 he changed his name, by deed poll, from J.A. Westwood to J.P.F.C. Westwood.

Despite his large size and deafening exhortations, Westwood is regarded by most fans as a symbol of passionate but non-violent commitment to his chosen team. He was even chosen to be one of the featured people in the BBC's "One Nation" Series. 

4. Thursday October Christian.

 Thursday October Christian (1790 – 1831) was the first son of Fletcher Christian (leader of the mutiny on the HMAV Bounty) and his Tahitian wife Maimiti. He was conceived on Tahiti, and was the first child born on Pitcairn after the mutineers took refuge on the island. Born on a Thursday in October, he was given his unusual name because Fletcher Christian wanted his son to have "no name that will remind me of England".

Thursday married into his parents' generation. At age 16 he married Teraura (Susannah), who had been Ned Young's original consort, and was past 30 then. The ceremony was carried out with a ring that had belonged to Ned Young. 

5. Dick Assman.

Dick Assman (1934 - ) is a Saskatchewan petrol station owner whose name propelled him to celebrity status across North America in 1995. Assman, who worked at Petro-Canada's Victoria Square Mall station in Regina, was discovered by David Letterman, who was amused by his name. Assman was lavishly introduced on July 24, 1995, on The Late Show with David Letterman, where he was a nightly feature for about a month. Live field units in Canada interviewed him for the show. Over the weeks, Assman received a musical tribute from Tony Orlando, while Joe Namath declared himself an "Ass-maniac".

Vancouver polling company Angus Reid reported that 49 percent of surveyed Canadians in September 1995 had heard of his name. Assman received a number of contracts for commercial appearances, was asked to run for public office, and received many marriage proposals. Assmania came to a close in August when Assman visited the Ed Sullivan Theater and was presented with a bouquet of roses by Letterman.  

 6. GoldenPalace.com

On 2005, Terri Iligan, age 33, sold her name on eBay and received an offer. She will be legally named "goldenpalace.com" after the required legal work is complete. The casino owning the website paid $15,199 over the eBay auction service. She said that she got the idea when trying to find how much it would cost to send one of her children to a golf school previously attended by Tiger Woods. 

6 Craziest Conspiracy Theories

1. Israel makes Palestinian schoolgirls sexually promiscuous by selling them aphrodisiac bubble-gum.

"Palestinian authorities uncovered Israeli efforts to spread a special kind of gum that contains sexual hormone between Palestinians. The authorities requested laboratory tests on the gum which were conducted in Cairo. Those tests showed that the gum contains progesterone which is responsible for sexual arousal and also prevents pregnancies. Palestinian authorities confiscated 200 tonnes of gum in the city of al-Khalil alone. The Washington Post claimed in report that if it asked a chemistry professor in the Hebrew university to examine the gum. His tests were negative, however the paper also reported that the majority of Palestinians believe the conspiracy. It quoted one Palestinian saying that it was possible to send a space ship to Mars then it is possible to manufacture a 'sexual gum' it is after all a war." (Source: report by AFP) 

2. Alien Reptiles are dominating the World.

 According to BBC Reporter David Icke, reptilian humanoids are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at manipulation and control of humanity. He contends that most of the world's leaders, from William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and George W. Bush to members of the British royal family, are in fact related to the 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconis.

Conspiracies won't stop there. According to an interview with Icke, Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, claims that Diana told her that the Royal Family were reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift. David Icke and others have claimed that U.S. President George W. Bush and his family are part of this same bloodline.

Icke claims, based on his exploration of genealogical connections to European royalty, that many presidents of the United States have been and are reptilian humanoids. In his view, United States foreign policy after September 11 is the product of a reptilian conspiracy to enslave humanity, with George W. Bush as a servant of the reptilians. He also theorizes that the reptilians came to Earth from the constellation Draco.

3. Wingdings font has a secret message of approval to kill Jews.

Wingdings is a font included in all versions of Microsoft Windows, with a history of controversy. In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that the character sequence "NYC" in Wingdings was rendered as a skull and crossbones symbol, Star of David, and thumbs up gesture. This could be interpreted as a message of approval of killing Jews, especially those from New York City. Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. (The character sequence "NYC" in the later-released Webdings font, in turn, is rendered as eye, heart, and city skyline, which could be interpreted as "I Love New York City". Microsoft has stated that this is intentional.)

An urban legend, one of the most widespread conspiracy theories ever, that spread after the September 11, 2001 attacks was that if the sequence "Q33NY" is typed in Wingdings, the Q becomes an aircraft, the threes become lined documents (which resemble skyscrapers), the N becomes a skull and crossbones, and the Y becomes the Star of David. The resulting graphics look like an aircraft preparing to impact the World Trade Center, with a message of death for those of Jewish faith. The "NY" stands for New York, and "Q33" allegedly was the designation of one of the aircraft. However, the theory that this has any valid non-accidental connection with the attacks falls apart under scrutiny: the terrorist attacks were not specifically directed at Jews, and none of the aircraft used on that day bore the designation of Q33. Another suggestion was that "Q33" was a reference to a bus route, typically alleged to be at the World Trade Center itself, or to one of the airports involved. In reality, bus route Q33 serves LaGuardia Airport, and none of the hijacked aircraft took off from or were heading there.

Various other combinations of Wingdings characters are alleged to have special significance by conspiracy theorists.

4. Stephen King killed John Lennon.

Steve Lightfoot's book "Lennon Murder Expose" suggest his theory with "strong" evidence from government codes in the bold print headlines of Time. His website's introduction reads: "Contrary to all reports about a lone drifter named Mark David Chapman who allegedly shot John Lennon in the back December 8, 1980 you'll find ample evidence in the back issues of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report magazines to suggest otherwise. Namely, that John Lennon was, not only politically assassinated, but that Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and, you'd better sit down, horror novelist Stephen King are the three people who can be proven guilty of the crime. King being the real murderer and Chapman but a look-alike, paid actor misleading you with an absolute hoax, the media in tow."

"The evidence, specifically, is government codes in the bold print headlines of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report magazines that were printed shortly before, during, and after the night of December 8, 1980. Hints in the headlines that you won't find anywhere else that plug into John Lennon's assassination with up to 70% frequency at times. These government codes, which read like gallows humor; «Thinking About John Lennon...Johnny Comes Marching Home...Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, Ouch, Ouch...The Job Richard Nixon Really Wanted...Blasting the Opposition...America Needs A Poet Laureate...Maybe...Heeding Those Subtle Signs...Magazine Maze...All the Presidents Magazines...». These codes include the killer's face and true identity printed three and two months before the crime replete with headlines describing the then yet to come crime scene: «One Great Big Zippo Lighter...Perils of Pyrokinesis». Pyrokinesis means fire and movement, and a man at night with a gun ablaze, crouched in a raincoat looks like a great big cigarette lighter. Subtle but dramatic codes." 

5. The Early Middle Ages (614–911 AD) never occurred. Year 2007 is actually 1710.

The Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig (born 1947) in 1991, which suggests that the Early Middle Ages (more precisely, the period 614–911 AD) never occurred, meaning that all artifacts attributed to this period are from other times and that all historical figures from this period are outright fabrications. The vast majority of historians believe this theory to be wrong.

The basis of Illig's claims is the paucity of archaeological evidence that can be reliably dated to this period; perceived inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods of dating this period, and the over-reliance of medieval historians on written sources. For Western Europe, Illig claims the presence of Romanesque architecture in the tenth century as evidence that less than half a millennium could have passed since the fall of the Roman Empire, and concludes that the entire Carolingian period, including the person of Charles the Great, is a forgery of medieval chroniclers, more precisely a conspiracy instigated by Otto III and Gerbert d'Aurillac.

The theory also stems from the belief that during the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in Europe (1582 AD), while compensating for a ten day discrepancy in the old Julian calendar, many dates were falsely (or ineptly) recalculated as the new system created a thirteen day discrepancy. The original mathematical blemish was attributed to the Julian year being 1.3 minutes too long (which is commonly agreed as factual).

6. NASA Faked the Moon Landings.

 Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations are claims that some or all elements of the Apollo Moon landings were faked by NASA and possibly members of other involved organizations. Some groups and individuals have advanced alternate historical narratives which tend, to varying degrees, to include the following common elements:

The Apollo Astronauts did not land on the Moon;

NASA and possibly others intentionally deceived the public into believing the landing(s) did occur by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence, including photos, telemetry tapes, transmissions, and rock samples;

NASA and possibly others continue to actively participate in the conspiracy to this day.

Enthusiasts of this theory claim that:

The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation

The photos were altered: the Crosshairs on some photos appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be

The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.

There are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows.

Identical backgrounds in photos that are listed as taken miles apart.

The moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.

No blast crater appeared from the landing

The launch rocket produced no visible flame.

The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.

Many commentators have published detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims. According to a 1999 poll conducted by the The Gallup Organization, what Gallup termed an "overwhelming majority" of the US public, some 89 percent, did not believe the landing was faked, while 6 percent did and 5 percent were undecided.

10 Bizarre And Disgusting Cakes

Dead Crow



This cake would be perfect at a roadkill restaurant. I especially like the fact that they didn’t go overboard on the blood – it is just enough to know that the bird is not sleeping (well – that and its broken neck).

Divorce Cake



This unusual cake would be appropriate at a divorce party or a mafia wedding. As always it is the poor groom that gets it.

Decapitation Cake



A great cake for people who work in a saw mill – this is the decapitation cake. It was featured in a grossest cake bake-off.

Thorax Cake



You can’t say I didn’t warn you about the revolting pictures in this list! This cake (and the next on the list) were both made by Barbara Jo. Details of the making can be found here.

Zombie Cake



This cake is a work of art. It is made by an incredibly talented lady and you can read all about her methods (as well as look at many pictures in the making process) here. Here is a brief snippet: “I calculated that, between the cake, the French creams, and the bloody eyeball cordial cherries, I went through 15 pounds of granulated sugar, 2 bags of powdered sugar, 8 large bags of chocolate chips, 2 bottle of corn syrup, 8 pounds of dark chocolate, and 4 pounds of white chocolate. I have a slight tendency to go overboard with these things. We have a lot of eyeballs left over.”

Lung Cake



This is the rather unattractive (but healthy) looking lung cake.

Just Awful



The effort that went into this cake is quite astonishing – it is so realistic! You can see the complete process here. It is well worth checking out.

Kitty Litter Cake



I am having a hard time trying to work out when you would want to make this cake – and for whom. It is – as described in the title, a kitty litter cake. In my house, kitty litter is something we prefer not to think about, it is not something to celebrate! You can find the recipe here.

Carrie Cake



This is one of my favorites as I am an avid fan of Carrie – the book (later adapted to the silver screen) by Stephen King. It features Carrie in her prom dress after she has had a good dousing of pigs blood.

Skull Cake



In keeping with the gruesome theme of the previous two entries – here is an extremely well made skull birthday cake.
