Marloes Horst’s Nipples in MIH Jeans Campaign of the Day

I don’t know how popular this Marloes Horst model is, you see cuz I’m not gay, a photographer, in the fashion industry, or creepily obsessed with models, cuz I generally hate models, envy their big money and party lifestyles, traveling the world to get half naked, but I know they are freakishly tall, and despite being called out for being skinny, actually are broader than most professional basketball playing men, but I do like them better than celebs, cuz celebs are generally not hot…all this to say these aren’t as good as her topless TOPLESS PHOTOSHOOTS , but they’re better than nothing….and that’s pretty much good enough for me and even the philosophy I like to live by….cuz I have low expectations….

Reese Witherspoon on the cover of Elle UK in a One Piece of the Day

Reese Witherspoon is on of those chicks who other chicks really find hot but who leaves guys wondering what the fuck all they hype is about. It’s like sure she’s not horrible looking, sure, she’s horrible cuz she trapped her first husband by being horrible and getting knocked up, like insecure doughy girls have done for decades before her, and she’s horrible with all her church going Southern bullshit, and she’s horrible for being seen jogging all the time, but always managing to stay fat and sloppy like she’s had one too many biscuits…down at the plantation house… Here she is on the cover of Elle UK, in a one piece, even when she should be wearing pants, where I am sure she talked a whole lot of bullshit about her relationships and recent marriages, cuz that’s just the kind of useless twat starving for attention but not starving at all, she is…. if you know what you mean… FOLLOW ME

Are Scientologists Snatching Up LA’s Legendary KCET Building?

Scientopoly: America’s favorite real-life board game since 1954. In the newest chapter of L. Ron Hubbard’s real estate stampede, the Church of Scientology is reportedly considering the purchase of LA’ s KCET building on Sunset Boulevard. The television station split from PBS recently and hasn’t recovered from losing programs like Sesame Street and Charlie Rose . Now it’s facilities are in danger of being turned into one of Tom Cruise’s enlightenment obelisks. Ugh, Xenu! Enough!

Church Donations Increase

Follow this link:

Since the recession in 2008, many U.S. churches have seen a decline in giving. But the tide may be changing. The third annual State of the Plate constituency survey of 1,507 churches revealed that 43 percent of these churches experienced an uptick in giving this past year (up from 36 percent the previous year). Overall, 6 in 10 churches reported giving that was flat or up in 2010 — encouraging results given the nation’s stalled economy. Smaller churches (under 249 people in worship attendance) saw giving declines (40 percent in churches under 100 people and 43 percent in churches with 100-249 people). The Pacific Coast states and Southeast states are leading the nation in church giving declines with 46 percent of churches experiencing a decrease in donations this past year. Whether giving increases or decreases in 2011 will depend on a variety of factors, said Matt Branaugh, Director of Editorial for Christianity Today International ‘s (CTI) Church Management Team, a survey co-sponsor. “It’s critical for church leaders to nurture relationships with people and show them how their giving directly helps the church’s mission and their surrounding community,” Branaugh added. Though churches appear to be coming out of a downward cycle, a new government proposal to limit tax deductions on charitable giving is creating concern among church leaders. Ninety-one percent of the State of the Plate respondents expressed concern that such a change could create yet another obstacle to generous giving among churchgoers. “Charities and churches have been hit hard by the economy the past three years. If the government’s plan to change the rules on charitable tax deductions goes through, giving to charities and churches, and the people they in turn assist, will likely be negatively affected,” said Brian Kluth, founder of MAXIMUM Generosity and the State of the Plate research.

Mr. Skin’s SXSW Report, Part 2

The film portion of the South by Southwest festival wraps up today in Austin, Texas, and Mr. Skin’s Skin Skouts have been hard at work all week screening the newest and nudest films for your peter-pulling pleasure! Here’s the skinny on some of our chubby-inducing favorites: Viva Riva! (2010) is the action-packed tale of a secret cache of gas in the Democratic Republic of Congo that everyone (including the church and the government) is fighting over. Patsha Bay is a lone wolf trying to stay three steps ahead of everyone else, and Manie Malone is the wanton gang moll that is his obsession. Viva Riva! features plenty of African anatomy from Manie and her Sapphic gal pals. A pair of buddies prepare for the apocalypse by building a desert arsenal in Bellflower (2011 ) . This testosterone-fueled actioner gets a feminine touch from Rebekah Brandes ‘ left teat and from Jessie Wiseman , who bares jiggling jugs and hairy beaver getting screwed by a dude in a scene sure to launch your missle. A group of teens get locked inside their school (horrors!) in the supernatural thriller Detention (2010) . You’ll be asking for the hall pass with all the bras and bikinis sported by nudecomers Spencer Locke , Shanley Caswell and Kate Kelton, plus a porntastic cameo from Ron Jeremy and Brooke Haven . Things aren’t so great for disabled Iraq vet Michael Cuomo in Happy New Year (2010) , but a scene where he and his VA buddies visit a strip club will put a smile on your face. A celebrity impersonator gets her big break as herself in the Brazilian film Riscado (2010) . There’s no nudity in this flick, but when star Gisele Froes does her Bettie Page impression, you’ll have a raging retro boner. Also non-nude but notable is the indie rock comedy You Instead (2011) , which features a backstage girl-on-girl makeout session that’ll really raise your mic stand. Stay tuned here at the Mr. Skin blog for all the newest, nudest news from the world of skinema!

Jesus Take The Wheel: BYU Boots Center Brandon Davies For Chopping Down Some Mormon Backs!!

This has gotta be tough on the kid. It isn’t like he sexually assualted someone or committed a crime, just a lil hanky-panky with his girlfriend. Sticking to principles appears to carry a steep cost for the nation’s third-ranked college basketball team. A day after Brigham Young University dismissed center Brandon Davies from the team for violating the school’s strict honor code, the No. 3-ranked Cougars were throttled Wednesday by unranked New Mexico. “The honor code really reflects who we are as a university. It defines us and it does make us different,” BYU spokeswoman Carrie Jenkins told CNN affiliate KSTU-TV. Davies, a 6-9 sophomore from Provo, was the team’s top rebounder and third-leading scorer. He received the Cougars’ Academic Excellence award last season, according to an online profile. BYU had been gunning for a high seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, but the team’s fortunes took a tumble with Wednesday night’s 82-64 loss to New Mexico. University officials said Davies admitted violating the honor code at BYU, which is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. The honor code requires all faculty, staff and students to: Be honest; Live a chaste and virtuous life; Obey the law and all campus policies; Use clean language; Respect others; Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse; Participate regularly in church services; Observe dress and grooming standards; Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the honor code. The code forbids homosexual behavior and bars members of the opposite sex from going beyond the lobby of the school’s single-sex dormitories. The dress and grooming standards forbid beards, tattoos and piercings for men and short or form-fitting clothes or bare feet in public for women. The university did not say which part of the code Davies violated, but it did say he had not committed a crime. Davies’ future as a student at BYU and his status for next season have yet to be determined. Ah c’mon give the kid a break! A lil poon-tang ain’t never hurt nobody (long as he wore a Jimmy!) Do you feel that BYU has a right to ask players not to have sex as a condition of playing for the team or going to the school??? Source
