I'd like to know what the outcome would be if the artist was "male". Also, the article says "The three artworks were displayed in an adult entertainment shop" Isn't that the kind of things they show in those shops?

The song broke the top 100 pop chart in the USA & also made it into the guiness world book. Not bad for a guy just trying to make a buck.

In all my time here, I've never once had trouble crossing a street. Cars always wait for the pedestrian. Now, concerning red lights & the such, that's another story altogether.

Wasting taxpayers money. Most countries he visits he goves money to as well. Japan has a HUGE debt. Time to start reeling that in a bit. Although BertieWooster does have agood point.

A big problem I see on the horizon is the wear & tear of the lightning port.Using it to charge your phone as well as headphones I'd imagine it won't be long before you have trouble with that port.

A close look at Obama’s rhetoric shows he has not referred to the “Islamic State” by that name since he plunged the U.S. military into an undeclared but escalating war against the group two years ago. Obama, who tends to stick with “ISIL,” explained his thinking roughly one month after the first U.S. airstrikes against the group.
"ISIL is not Islamic" No religion condones the killing of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim,” he said on Sept. 10, 2014. “And ISIL is certainly not a state. “
Obama went on, “it is recognized by no government, nor by the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.”
