A New York-based condom company launched a new line of condoms poking fun at the Republican presidential candidate.

The prophylactic’s packaging features a caricature of a beaming Romney splayed on pictures of hundred dollar bills with the slogan, “Never Settle.”

“I think you see a lot of people who are really unhappy with the choices in the Republican primary,” Benjamin Sherman, founder of Say It With a Condom, told the Daily News. “We’re saying people shouldn’t settle when picking their political candidates or their partners.”

Sherman’s company is the same one that rolled out the famous Barack Obama condoms in 2008 with packaging mottos like “Hope is not a form of protection” and “The ultimate stimulus package.”

On the Romney condom website, the company riffs on the multimillionaire, saying the product is “tax free so even the poor can afford them” and that it’s for anyone “with an elitist penis.”

The company also rips Romney and accusations that he has flip-flopped on a number of issues including healthcare and gay marriage.

“Despite Mitt’s inability to stick to a position, Romney condoms are great for any position,” the website reads.

This guy already bought several cases of the Romney condoms:

Team Romney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

And do Romney’s rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul have a condom featuring themselves in the future?

“It’s a possibility,” said Sherman.

Google Earth map has been updated and you can now see a gridlike pattern proving the underwater city of Atlantis had been found. 

The exciting discovery was originally made in 2009 when eagle-eyed internet users spotted a large grid on the seafloor that looked strikingly like the fabled city. Google, at the time, explained, that the misrepresentation was caused by overlapping datasets, and Atlantis had not been found, but the map remained.

This week, mapping experts from around the world announced that the Google view of Earth’s subterranean landscape has proved conclusively the location of Atlantis.

“That’s Atlantis.  We’re a hundred percent positive,” said Dr. Wallace Toomer of Cambridge University in the U.K.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the US Navy, NGA and GEBCO also concurred.  Google has the “most accurate view of the seafloor”  ever made.  They are all “excited” to go the location and explore Atlantis.

The newest version of Google Earth includes more accurate imagery in several key areas of ocean using data collected by research cruises over the past three years.

The Google map now matches the map used in the research community, which makes the Google Earth program much more useful as a tool for planning cruises to uncharted areas,” Sandwell added.

For centuries the story of Atlantis has captured the imagination  -  a fabled city of great beauty, culture and wealth that was suddenly swallowed up by the ocean.

Some had claimed its ruins lie beneath the waves off the coast of Cornwall. Others say they’ve been found in the Black Sea.

The real location of Atlantis:  an area of the Atlantic.  Go to Google Earth yourself to look at… find it.

18-year-old Jyoti Amge, who at 2 feet 6 inches is the world’s shortest woman, has moved to the U.S.  and is running for Congress.

Jyoti Amge has moved to Massachusetts and is running for Barney Frank’s seat in the House of Representatives.

Amge’s celebrity status in her own country makes her move to America major news in two countries.  Crowds gathered in Mumbai to wish her well on her journey.

“One of the problems with being famous is people mob you wherever you go,” she said. “Many of them ask very irritating questions. If I were not the shortest woman in the world, I would not have become famous.”

The tiny woman held the Guinness World Record for world’s shortest teenager until she turned 18 in December and took on her new title. She weighs just 12 pounds and won’t grow any more in height due to an extreme case of achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, Guinness told the paper.

Here she is with her campaign manager:

Barney Frank was quick to dismiss her as a viable candidate for his Congressional seat.  I would pick her over any of the other Republicans in this country, and I like her size and attitude, but her ideas I wholeheartedly disagree with.   Congress is not a freak show.

According to the world’s top scientists the world hasn’t warmed in 15 years and we are headed for a new ice age!

Statistics and data suggest we are headed for a new ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists said that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.

Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots seen at their peak.

We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’ – which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th Century.

Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona – derived from magnetic-field measurements 120,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface – suggest that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.

According to a paper issued last week by the Met Office, there is a  92 per cent chance that both Cycle 25 and those taking place in the following decades will be as weak as, or weaker than, the ‘Dalton minimum’ of 1790 to 1830. In this period, named after the meteorologist John Dalton, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2C.

However, it is also possible that the new solar energy slump could be as deep as the ‘Maunder minimum’ (after astronomer Edward Maunder), between 1645 and 1715 in the coldest part of the ‘Little Ice Age’ when, as well as the Thames frost fairs, the canals of Holland froze solid.

Siberian separatists have agreed to allow the United States to annex their region of Russia.

Many, if not all Siberians, may think at times that the Siberian regions with their natural riches live poorly just because they have to give away a big part of their incomes to other territories of the Russian Federation.

Siberians have tried to put that idea into action for decades and established a political movement. The vain attempts did not lead to anything for years, but now the movement has reached critical mass and and, if all goes according to plan, Siberia will become an American territory (much like Puerto Rico), within six months.

It’s a win-win situation for Siberians.

Those living in Siberia will be now identified as Siberians.  Vladimir Kiselyov, a 37-year-old resident of the city of Mezhdurechensk, was a leader in the movement and believed that Siberia had to get rid of the Moscow yoke.

The only way for the territory to truly prosper was to become a part of the US.

Of course, Vladmir Putin and the new Russian leadership vow to do everything to block the annexing of Siberia, but they did open a door with President Obama hinted that he would make Russia “an offer they couldn’t refuse” in order to get Siberia.

President Obama believes that Siberia is rich in minerals that the United States is uniquely qualified to take advantage of.   Will Obama drill for oil in Siberia?  “Absolutely not,” said a spokesman for the White House.  “President Obama wants to end oil drilling around the globe by the end of the second term.”

The US has been working quietly over the last six months to help Siberia obtain independence.

Siberia will be a territory of the United States, much like Alaska and California were in the 19th century.  Siberia has no plans to apply for statehood right away, but hopes to be the 51st State by 2015.

US politician Zbigniew Brzezhinski, a well-known politician, applauds Siberia becoming part of the U.S. and wants to help create a new commonwealth from Vancouver to Vladivostok.

The Irkutsk State University recently held a seminar with the participation of fifth-year students of the US-Siberian Department for Management and “Regionalistic Alternative to Siberia” Public Movement. The future graduates of the US-Siberian Department of the University were thrilled at the prospect of being part of the United States.

“Our economic future is bright,” said one excited graduate.

The big question:  Will Siberia get an NFL franchise?

Siberia facts:

Siberia covers 4.9 million square miles, an area that is three-fourths of the Russian Federation or onethird larger than the United States and one-fourth larger than Canada.

Siberia stretches from the URALS in the west over 3,000 miles to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has borders with Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China.

Siberia’s size is not advantageous as the climate is usually very harsh with a marked continental climate. The northeastern part shows the coldest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere with – 90 degrees F at Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk in Yakutia. In summer, temperatures can reach 90 degrees F.  These great differences in temperature present a challenge for human colonization and exploitation of the rich natural resources (wood, coal, oil, gas, gold). Permafrost has a decisive impact on soil formation with the consequence that infrastructure is expensive to build.

The famous Trans-Siberian Railroad, built between 1891 and 1903, touches the southern belt of Siberia. Although Siberia is inhabited by nearly 45 different ethnic groups, Russians represent the majority. According to the census of 1989, 85 percent of the population are Russians. Russian colonization since the late 16th century resulted in a decline of the indigenous nationalities that counted more than 200 tribes before the Russian arrival. There are three great ethnic groups: Finno-Ugrians, Turco-Tatars, and Tungus and Paleo-Asiatics.

A top scholar says there are big holes in the big bang theory.

Babu Ranganathan writes:

Big Bang scientists extrapolate a hypothetical scenario from a few facts. Yes, some galaxies are expanding, moving further away, but this is not the case with the entire universe. There are galaxies in the universe running perpendicular to the rest of the galaxies. That’s contrary to Big Bang. If Big Bang really occurred, there should be a uniform distribution of gasses.

This uniform distribution of the gasses would have made sure that the gasses would not have coalesced, due to gravitational attraction, into planets and stars. The hypothesis of dark matter providing enough gravitational force has been recently discredited.

“The (galactic) structures discovered during the past few years, however, are so massive that even if CDM (Cold Dark Matter) did exist, it could not account for their formation” (Dr. Duane T. Gish, “The Big Bang Theory Collapses”). Furthermore, an explosion cannot explain the precise orbits and courses of thousands of billions of stars in thousands of billions of galaxies.

Some evolutionary astronomers believe that trillions of stars crashed into each other leaving surviving stars to find precise orderly orbits in space. Not only is this irrational, but if there was such a mass collision of stars then there would be a super mass residue of gas clouds in space to support this hypothesis. The present level of residue of gas clouds in space doesn’t support the magnitude of star deaths required for such a hypothesis. And, as already stated, the origin of stars cannot be explained by the Big Bang because of the reasons mentioned above. It is one thing to say that stars may decay and die into random gas clouds, but it is totally different to say that gas clouds form into stars.

Most people don’t realize how much disagreement there is among evolutionary scientists concerning their own theories. The media doesn’t report those details, at least not to any substantial extent.

GRIMSBY, U.K. –  The Royal Air Force says none of its planes were responsible for the “sonic boom.”  So what was it?

Residents of Grimsby heard what sounded like a large explosion at about 7pm on Wednesday.

Initial fears that there had been an explosion were quickly allayed and authorities quickly confirmed that it was a sonic boom from an RAF plane.

Some thought the sonic boom occurred in outer space…

But no, it was an RAF plane:

WWN learned that The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is carrying out a low-flying operation named “Exercise Lightning Force” in the Grimsby area.

Squadron Leader Anne Jarman, based at Headquarters Air Command, said the noise was caused by an RAF aircraft, part of’ “fast jet units.”  She went on to say that a sonic boom occurs when an aeroplane breaks the sound barrier and the noise that you hear is the shockwave of area around the aircraft.

When local Grimsby residents heard the boom, they all ran inside, and hid under tables and beds.

“Hearing a sonic boom is something that some find ‘cool”, but many residents were frightened.  We had to calm our citizens,” said Mayor Tom Perklin.

“These things do happen and it is certainly not something that people should be scared about.”

Julie Siploin, who lives in nearby Laceby, said: “I heard a big bang and the whole house shook. ”I looked out of the window but all I saw was a plane flying over.”

Emma Lingard, of Healing, was tending to her horse in Immingham when the bang occurred. ”I heard a loud clatter on the roof and some pheasants flew off, so I thought it was an animal,” she said.

“I jumped and the horse jumped. I walked out of the stable and couldn’t see anything.

“When I returned to the car, where my son, Tom, was, he said the car had shook.

“Whatever it was, it was strong enough to shake a parked car.”

The use of street drugs known as “bath salts” are the source of an outbreak of a rare flesh-eating disease.

Numerous cases of necrotizing fasciitis caused by an intramuscular injection of bath salts are being reported across the United States.

So-called “bath salts” are sold as synthetic powders that “often contain various amphetamine-like chemicals,” according to the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, which warned that injections can cause the ravaging skin condition.

It was first noticed when  doctors in New Orleans treated a 34-year-old woman who developed forearm pain and redness after she attended a party. She didn’t have any other symptoms but did have a small red puncture wound on her arm. The woman eventually admitted that she injected bath salts two days before her symptoms began.

The doctors reexamined her and determined that she had necrotizing fasciitis. The disease progressed so rapidly that the doctors had to amputate the woman’s arm, shoulder and collarbone and perform a radical mastectomy.

The woman later underwent skin grafting and rehabilitation.

“Despite the drug’s legal status, it must be treated as illicit, and one must be suspicious when examining a patient with this clinical history because the diagnosis of flesh-eating bacteria can masquerade as abscesses and cellulitis,” said doctors who spoke with WWN.

Bath Salt users are running scared.  Not only can you get the flesh-eating disease from injecting the bath salts, but if you come in contact with someone who used bath salts, you may get the disease as well.

One woman reported that her boyfriend injected salts and two days later SHE developed symptoms. When the patient was reexamined, she had rapidly progressing redness, skin sloughing, and drainage. Necrotizing fasciitis was suspected and she immediately underwent emergent surgical debridement and exploration, and more antibiotics were added.

The infection moved so fast that pink, healthy tissue was literally dying before the surgeons’ eyes. They had to keep removing tissue until they reached clear margins of healthy tissue to stop the progression of disease.

In another case, a Mississippi woman’s experiment with the illicit drugs dubbed “bath salts” cost her both legs — and nearly her life — after she was ravaged by flesh-eating bacteria that invaded an injection site.

The 29-year-old woman showed up at a Mississippi hospital complaining of pain and redness on her right leg, where there was a puncture wound the woman admitted was a needle stick. She said the symptoms started two days after she injected bath salts at party.

Fearing for the woman’s life, doctors removed her right arm and shoulder and stripped away the dead muscle. They amputated her legs and cut away more unhealthy skin.  Why did the doctors do this?  Nobody knows, but major medical malpractice lawsuits have already been filed.  Tragedy added to tragedy.

Notwithstanding doctors error, the final diagnosis for the woman was “necrotizing fasciitis caused by streptococcus bacteria.” Such flesh-eating infections can kill quickly, with victims requiring surgery within an average of 25 hours of admission in order to survive.

Bath Salts are powerful synthetic stimulants and became popular in Western Europe in 2009 and showed up in the U.S. in Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky in August 2010. They’ve been smoked, snorted, taken orally and, now, injected.

In 2010, the American Association of Poison Control centers received about 3,000 calls about bath salts. Last year, the number climbed to more than 60,000, records show.

At least 16 states have enacted emergency bans on bath salts and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency banned three chemicals used to make them last fall. But Russo and his colleagues are warning other emergency department health workers to be vigilant when patients show up with skin infections after injections

The Center for Disease Control says that this bath salt epidemic is completely avoidable.  “The best treatment is prevention with public, street-based education and early detection,” said Dr. Ruskin from the CDC.  ”Don’t inject yourself with bath salts!”

LOS ANGELES –  Dakota Fanning, who turns 18 on February 23rd, 2012, has reportedly done a photo spread for Playboy!

Ever since Dakota Fanning turned 16, and starred in Runaways,Hugh Hefner has been trying to sign her up to pose naked in Playboy after her 18th birthday.  Finally, with the approval of Dakota’s agents and Hollywood handlers, it’s a done deal – according to sources in Georgia.

The photos will be taken the day after her 18th birthday by Playboy’s top photographers, including Vlad Comito. The concept was approved by Hef himself, who says that Dakota’s photo spread,  was tasteful and will be appreciated by her fans of all ages.

The 85-year-old Playboy tycoon always thought the ‘I Am Sam’ star – who is even causing controversy with her Cosmo photo spread i – would be a hit with readers of the adult magazine after she turns 18.

Hannah Dakota Fanning was born on the 23rd of February 1994, in Conyers, Georgia, USA. Before her debut into the cinematic world, Dakota did her own acting around her house. She was very active for her age, and often put a blanket under her shirt and pretended to be having a baby, using her younger sister, Elle Fanning, who is also an actress now, as the baby. Dakota went to a playhouse near her home, where the children that attended put on a play every week to show to their parents. But the people running the playhouse noticed that Dakota stood out, and advised her parents, Joy and Steven Fanning, to take her to an agency.

Dakota has appeared in a number of films including:  I Am Sam, Taken, Sweet Home Alabama, Twilight, The Secret Lives of Bees.

Dakota and Kristen Stewart heated up the screen in The Runaways in 2010.  In film, Dakota played the lead singer, Cherie Currie.   Dakota snorts cocaine, has lesbian scenes, and generally was NOT the little girl fans had known her to be.

And now… it’s time for her Playboy moment.

Hefner told WWN,  “We are excited to have her appear in the magazine.  She’s a very pretty lady now.”

Hefner, who is having trouble remembering who he is lately,  an’t understand why some people are upset about Dakota appearing in the magazine.  “Every woman wants to appear in Playboy,”  said Playboy CEO Sandra Piccoli.  “To a lot of boys who grew up with Dakota, she was their fantasy girl.  And now, they get more to add to their fantasies.”

Playboy feels that the issue will be a smash success.  “If Dakota wants to pose naked, as an adult, she has the right to do so,” said Piccoli.

Hefner is not surprised that some Americans object to Dakota being in the magazine:  “I think it’s a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.”  Many parents have complained recently about Miley’s new videos which seem racy.  There’s going to be even more complaints when they see her Playboy photo-spread.  Miley has agreed to pose completely naked.

Hugh founded Playboy in 1953.  Insiders say the elderly Hef is losing some of his mental faculties because he’s started wearing suits, and shoes.

WWN can confirm that the rumors about there are men dressed as werewolves in the Dakota pictures for Playboy.   Rumors are that Sean Penn also appears in the background of the photos.  He’s dressed as Hugo Chavez.

Here’s Dakota in Runaways:

PORTSMOUTH, NH -  Mitt Romney celebrated his New Hampshire win with his sister wives and dozens of children.

Mitt Romney, a devout Mormon,  swept to victory in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, turning back a ferocious assault from rivals who sought to disqualify him in the eyes of conservatives, in a contest that failed to anoint a strong opponent to slow his march to the Republican nomination.

Here’s Mitt Romney with his primary family:

Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, won by a double-digit margin, a validation of his strategy to use his neighboring state to cement his standing as the front-runner. The candidates who had hoped to use the primary to emerge as his leading rival fared poorly, leaving a fractured Republican opposition.

“Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow we go back to work,” said Mr. Romney, who strode into his victory party at Southern New Hampshire University less than 30 minutes after the final polls closed to present himself as the candidate to beat for the Republican nomination.

Another branch of the Romney family:

Mr. Romney had his entire Mormon family with him in New Hampshire.  There are estimates that Romney has nine “wives” and over a hundred children.  Those  estimates were reportedly last tallied by Newt Gingrich.

Here’s Romney on stage with another one of his families:

Mitt Romney is on course to become the first Mormon to secure the nomination to run for the White House.

Supporters of the former governor of Massachusetts have dismissed claims that his religious beliefs could hamper his presidential ambitions.  And the fact that Mr. Romney reportedly has “sister wives” doesn’t seem to affect voters.

Here’s yet another branch of the Romney family:

Mr Romney’s membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints has only briefly threatened to become an issue in the 2012 campaign.

Last year a pastor close to fellow candidate  Rick Perry said Mr Romney was “not a Christian” and described Mormonism as a “cult”.

At the time Romneysaid: “The great majority of Americans understand that this nation was founded on the principle of religious tolerance and liberty. Most people do not make their decision based on someone’s faith.”

As if to prove his point Mr Romney went on to win in Iowa and he leads the polls in South Carolina, both places with large evangelical Christian populations which are often said to be suspicious of the Mormon religion.

Here’s Romney and his “lead wife” in their Mormon underwear:

Joanna Brooks, the writer behind the Ask Mormon Girl blog, told WWN: “During the general election campaign we will see increased scrutiny of the Mormon faith.

“Most Americans are unfamiliar with what Mormons believe, so this increased publicity will go a long way towards creating greater understanding.

“But I don’t think his Mormonism will work against Romney in the voting booth. Partisan divisions are far stronger in the US than antipathy towards Mormonism.”

Newt Gingrich agrees.  “I think the fact that Mitt Romney has more children than the last 44 presidents, combined, will be a real deterrent to voters.  Plus, which wife will be the First Lady,” a source close to Gingrich said.

Another Romney wife had a baby last night, just before the polls closed in New Hampshire:

Mr Romney often talks about the time he spent in France as a young man, completing two years of traditional Mormon missionary duty.

His father George, who was governor of Michigan, sought the Republican nomination in the 1968 campaign and little mention was made of his Mormon faith before he lost out to Richard Nixon.

Mitt Romney’s faith did crop up during his failed 2008 campaign when he was criticised by rival Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, but formerNew Hampshire senator Judd Gregg says things will be different this time.

“Americans have fully embraced Mormonism, it will not be a problem at all,” said a source close to Gregg.

Tim Tebow had no comment.
