Former President George W. Bush didn't really want to have a bucket of ice water poured on his head. "I do not think it's presidential," he said in a video posted today on Facebook. He opted to write a check, but wifey Laura Bush had other plans.... She sneaked in with a bucket of ice water and the rest is....well, history!
"That check is from me. I don't want to ruin my hairstyle," she said.

Bush has passed on the challenge to Bill Clinton, saying "yesterday was Bill's birthday and my gift to Bill is a bucket of cold water."                                                                

Bush was challenged to join the cause by several people, including daughter Jenna Bush Hager, CNN reports. President Obama has written a check to an ALS charity....he's apparently not having a bucket of ice water on his head.

The Ice Bucket Challenge has raised $22.9 million, reports NBC.

Lolita Richi

There is a "human Barbie" so extreme in her aesthetic views that she believes all women should perfect themselves though plastic surgery or otherwise.
Lolita Richi, 16 and from Ukraine claims she has never undergone plastic surgery.

But she says that just because she hasn't gone under the knife doesn't mean you shouldn't....
"All women should be well-kept and immaculate... If a girl doesn't have beautiful eyes then they should wear contact lenses to sort it out. If they have a crooked nose, then she must do something about it, whether that's plastic surgery or not," Richi said, according to the Mirror.

 

 

 

 

Unemployed graduate Alfred Ajani holds up sign advertising himself during rush hour at Waterloo station...see the reactions he got

 


22 year old Alfred Ajani has applied for over 300 jobs since getting a degree in marketing in May but nothing has come up yet. So he decided to hold up a sign advertising himself and hand out his CVs during morning rush hour at Waterloo station.

Alfred (pictured) stood at the entrance to the busy station holding a sign stating: 'Marketing graduate (BA Hons 2:1 Coventry Uni) Ask for CV'.

He said:

'I realised that there are thousands of students out there using the same old methods of applying for jobs online and through recruitment agencies and so I thought I'd try something different.

'I got up early and went to the station. At first people just looked at me but after about 10 minutes people starting stopping and talking. They said they'd never seen anything like it before and were really impressed.

'One woman worked in advertising and took a CV and another guy ran back from his train and said he'd walked past but had started thinking and might have something for me.'

Alfred added: 'I've already had some phone calls and have got an interview booked for later today. The support was great, one man even bought me a cup of tea and told me "good luck".'
