'The View' co-hosts joke about eating disorders on air, sparks outrage with fans.

Earlier this week, Joy Behar revealed that she asked her co-hosts what they'd rather be: anorexic or bulimic. Michelle Collins revealed that she would rather be bulimic, that way she can enjoy a meal.
Candace Cameron Bure revealed in recent years that she struggled with an eating disorder.
On the show, Bure said this:
"Please know that while this is in jest, as someone who has dealt with eating disorders, I don't want to make light of anyone that has it. I can joke about it because I've been there."

A massive sh*tstorm erupted on Twitter and many angry fans called 'The View' out on their intolerance of eating disorders."
On Thursday, Behar apologized for the comments, stating that they were just kidding. While the ladies at The View acknowledged that eating disorders are serious, they still continued to make light of the situation.
My Two Cents:

These women have gone way too far this time. How DARE they make light of a very serious disease that has KILLED many people?!

As heartless as Joy Behar is, I'm more angry and disgusted at Candace Cameron Bure for her comments. She knows the ugliness of eating disorders. Just because she had an eating disorder, does not mean that she can joke about it. Your religious label of Christianity means nothing if you are making light of something very serious. Bure needs to use her celebrity status to raise awareness and help those suffering from eating disorders, not enable the jokes and mockery of them.
Do these vapid women have any idea how triggering these comments are?

This show needs to be canceled. It is becoming damaging to anyone who is in a vulnerable state.
ABC, shame on you for allowing this trash on TV. If you have a heart and a soul, please take this show off the air.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
