WTF of the day (for me anyways)

[salenite222.livejournal.com]

I had bad insomnia last night and was flipping through the channles sometime between 3-4 am and saw the show 'roomraiders' on mtv, which I didn't even know still aired. 

Anyways. One of the girls that got 'kidnapped so they could search her room' was named (no joke) Raisins...not Raisin....Raisins

I have no words....

your thoughs please :D

RAISINS?? Are you serious? Is that really how it was spelled too?

[salenite222.livejournal.com]

I'm totally serious, I had to do a double take. I'm positive that's how it was spelled.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

Oy. That's... scary.

[hygher.livejournal.com]

Yikes!

Oh dear.

Anyone seen that episode of South Park? "Raisins" is the kids' version of Hooters.

It wasn't Roisin (http://www.babynamecollection.com/roisin.html), was it?

[salenite222.livejournal.com]

Nope, I'm positive it was Raisins. She even said "Hi my name is Raisins" and the name came on the screen spelled just like I'm spelling it.

it makes me think of the name Peaches.. I guess it comes from the same token (of pot)

I was just going to say, there was a girl in the news here a while back named Peaches. I think Raisins beats it, though. WTF is wrong with people.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. I agree. Peaches at least has the advantage of making a living as a stripper.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Rofl. Yeah, I don't think many men would flock to see someone named Raisins. *shudders at mental image*

I highly suspect it was a nickname that's used so often she considers it her name now :). The same way if her name was Jenny, and everyone called her Jenny, she wouldn't introduce herself as Jennifer :).

I knew a girl named Skates. Obviously not her real name, but I don't even remember her real name, everyone called her Skates :). Same with a guy named Banjo.

we can only hope it was a nick name

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I know a woman named Pepper. She is about 30 and it is her given name. I would think she might go by Patricia or something professionally, but everyone calls her Pepper.

So, while Raisins is probably a permanent nickname, like Miley Cyrus, it could be her given name.

Oh my god, I'm laughing my butt off. I love it.

My name is Raisa (raysuh).
And I ALWAYS get Raisin, as a nickname for me.
I don't mind it actually, because it's better than them mispronouncing my real name.
