Why the gossip shows?

To much for guys like this one Image via Wikipedia

Because -according to The Wall Street Journal, February 7, 2011- those who want a license to apply shampoo in Texas need 150 hours of training, with 100 hours in "theory and practice of shampooing," including a study of "neck anatomy." 

Also, in California you will need a year-long training to be a barber, in Alabama a 750-hour schooling standard for a manicurist license and in  Michigan you need 500 practice hours for performing massages.

With regulations like those, you can explain yourself why TMZ.

Sniffers dogs usually fail

According to a 2010 Chicago Tribune public-records examination of suburban Chicago traffic-stop drug searches, they found a funny fact: that sniffer dogs are usually wrong; a 56 percent of all positive signals by dogs yielded no contraband and also the 73 percent failure if the driver was Hispanic.

What would intails this? Have dogs a biased and/or opinated way to do their job or it's just that hispanics tend to smell like drugs because of some enviromental reasons?

Butthurt in Mexico

During the BBC’s show Top Gears,  their hosts make some fun on Mexicans:

Some should told them about how popular they are were in Mexico.

Anyway, my troll nature prevails over this issue because I really know that most of Mexicans (like the rest of the mankind) don’t worth a half penny. In fact troll community in Mexico saluted this event.
