Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Oh, I don't know. I didn't think it was so bad. She's obviously a feminist and her blog was way more interesting than the other "worst blogs". At least she has something to say, even if it is a little to the left. So what? I like the left.

Roseanne Barr should be committed... she has no right to walk the streets and make any comments about anyone or anything. Her defamation of our national anthem a few years ago disqualified her from any rights as an American citizen.
----------------------------
That's right! If someone disrespects a symbol of the USA, lock 'em up and take away their rights!If you make fun of the President, you're getting the chair, you bastard!USA! USA!
It's called the First Amendment, pal, and bad taste is still not against the law! Don't like her? Don't read her blog. That's how it works, as of today.Ain't America grand?

Hey Ike...
Just like you and Roseanne and the rest of the assholes in the world... many people have died for their rights to act like idiots and say stupid things. And guess what... I also have that right... so live with it!!!

Roseanne and Rosie should get together and compare stories! Roseanne is the most vulgar, disgusting, and not to mention nasty woman that ever lived. I just cannot stomach her at all! She thinks she is a bag of chips and more(get my drift)?

I really love Roseanne Barr and she really has a great spsirit. I just think that at times she does not know hwere the comdey ends and she begins. Celebrity Bloggs are just the same as other Bloggs and just because they a celebrities does not mean we should automatically assume thay have anything super intelligent to say, There is no director or writters on theses Bloggs after all.

The most vulgar, disgusting, and nasty people are apparently not Roseanne Barr but the people who are posting on this.
I am continually amazed and shocked at the vitriolic poison and downright hate that is so prevalent among so many of the AOL users here.
Its enough to make one feel very hopeless about the state of our society.
Don't you people know that the way you speak about others has little to do with the other person, and all to do about what's inside you.
Please, get some therapy instead of directing your hate towards others.
I'm so sick of others hatred stinking up our environment.

Roseanne's 15 minutes have been up for years. I can't imagine anyone finding any ramblings she can produce to be entertaining. Never seeing her again would be a most wonderful gift.

you need to include a link to Roseanne's blog. If AOL gave it a thumbs down she must have had something intelligent to say in her blog.

Why do we put so much importance on what celebrities have to say, anyway? What makes them better than the rest of us? The fact that they make a lot of money? No.

Love Roseanne and all her personalities. There isn't anything more refreshing than honesty.

At least Roseanne talks about being fat everytime I turn on the television or get on the internet it only talks about people going into rehab or that they are getting out. Drugs arent illegal in California or is it easier to get. The stars have so much money they dont know what to do with it they need to give it to the poor or a charity instead of getting high or drunk the only thing I can say is help the people in need its okay to party but, not so much that you are just causing your self to overdose or go into rehab.
*******THIS IS JUST AN OPINION******************
