We've all been there, those days when we're feeling really low, its our time of the month or we've just ate a ton and feel bloated and not so sexy. A lot of us turn to the internet to calculate our BMI, get healthy eating tips or to get some info on the latest exercise breakthrough. However we've disturbingly discovered the new internet sites that are feeding into our bad body image – and they are by no means pro anorexia sites.

NEW YORK - Seat 17D is yapping endlessly on an Internet phone call. Seat 16F is flaming Seat 16D with expletive-laden chats. Seat 16E is too busy surfing pornography sites to care.

When Yanna Elfes was planning her ultimate big fat Greek wedding in Sydney, she never imagined it would be virtually attended by millions of people around the world or become the subject of a vicious email slur campaign and a police investigation.
But that's exactly what happened after she married her husband Kosta two months ago at the Greek Orthodox church in Kogarah.
Her friends published photos on their Facebook pages and within days the images were appearing in nasty viral emails that quickly spread across Australia and to workplaces as far flung as London and Dubai.

Kelly Osbourne is running her mouth off again. This time she’s going after anyone who uses the internet for dating, saying that online dating sites are filled with sexual predators. Oh, and the internet in general is “perverted.” While I can’t really argue with the second statement, I highly doubt that internet dating sites are filled with nothing but sexual predators.

One video on YouTube for 80s hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley has over 7.5 million views and another has 5.3 million. This is due to the Internet meme of “Rick Rolling,” a prank in which users are lead to the catchy pop song from a misleading link.
The Internet-based group Anonymous blasted Astley’s 1988 hit during worldwide Scientology protests this February, a tribute to the meme and to the way the Internet can quickly spread ideas.

Alcohol, drugs, food, sex, and even shopping are all candidates for medical treatment and are recognized as genuine mental disorders, so what about the Internet? Internet addiction -defined as "excessive gaming, sexual pre-occupations, and email/text messaging" - is becoming so common that at least one psychiatrist says it merits inclusion in psychiatry's official handbook of mental illness, the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders."

9 years ago the internet wasn't what it is today. I learned everything about my pregnancy from my doctor, books and other nosey mom's (ok, most of them were well meaning but could be annoying none the less). While I try to not dig too much on the internet as it can scare you to death, I have found answers to things that I couldn't explain during either pregnancy.

Whether you use TiVo, a DVR or Slingbox, you've probably explored the world of online TV and realized how agitating it is to have to navigate through websites to watch popular shows — a surfing experience that can be much like flipping through TV.
If you want an overdose of Internet TV in one place check out Find Internet TV, a site that offers categorizes, tags and lists of websites that show live and on-demand video. It's like a giant Internet channel menu with a directory that includes sites broadcasting from all over the world.
