Playboy Buddy Rose Dead

Paul Perschmann known by millions of people as the wrestling legend “Playboy Buddy Rose” was found yesterday by his wife.  He was in his home in Portland and was 56 years old.

Playboy Buddy Rose was a big player in wrestling back in the 70s and 80s, and many of us remember his fight against Roddy Piper. The cause of his death is not yet known.

Perschmann also participated in the first Wrestlemania (actually the very first Wrestlemania match!) as the masked Executioner, finally losing to Tito Santana.  He really was a legend and will be missed by wrestling fans.

Rest in Peace Playboy Buddy Rose!

CDC Swine Flu is “Serious”

The latest medical threat in the World seems to be getting beigger each day, the CDC has pronounced and called the swine flu a “serious” state. Right now there are 20 people dead in Mexico because of Swine Flu, and in America at least 8 people have been reported sick.

CDC’s Anne Schuchat said today in a press conference:

“We are likely to find it in many other places. We don’t think containment [of the virus] is feasible.”

CNN is also talking about more possible swine flu cases in Texas and at a school in New York.  But well, we need confirmation on those news, we know that news reporters love stories like this.  It is good though to remember the CDC recommendations when it comes to swine flu:

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.

And to think she had some problem finding work as a model!:

When I reached about 16 I stopped doing theatre and TV because every casting I went to I got knocked back for having such an unusual figure for such a young woman.

“I’m a 28H. Everything I went to I was told I was too glamorous and no one knew where to put me in things,” a beaming Francoise Boufhal said.

“I went on a quest for a lingerie job but my bust was too big for that even.”

“I was offered loads of work but it was all to go topless and that was not what I wanted to do.
“It was so frustrating, but it made me even more determined to be known for who I was rather than just my looks.

“I thought no matter how many times you knock me back, I’ll keep going and sooner or later something will come along I’ll be good for.”

The Choking Game

The choking game is a deadly game made popular in Internet. Many kids engage into this game and suffer in some case death but in many other cases, the after effects like loss of vision, memory loss, headaches, brain damage among others.

In the choking game, one person chokes another just to get high and feel a funny sensation without the risk of being caught with drugs. Teens are the vast majority of people doing this and they do not know the consequences of doing so.

Right now there are already some initiatives to raise awareness on this game and its effects. Education seems key to stop cases of kids dying like this.

There’s also a growing database of cases just started. If you know of a case close to you, you can add it there to let everybody know how much people are dying because of the choking game.
