Really, I don’t own a TV
So this is rare.
But I download “The Soup”…legally. That’s where I found out about ABC’s new puke-cute show, “Here Come the Newlyweds.”
Or should I say, that’s where I saw the apple-cream-pie-in-the-clown’s-face couple of the United States, Dawn and Cody Freis.
See where it says “quit her job?” The way she described it on the show […]
Client Number 9
Eliot Spitzer will officially kick off those sticky shoes as New York’s governor after he was found patronizing a “high-end” prostitution ring, called “Emperor’s Club VIP” March 10. Spitzer is estimated to have spent $80,000 dollars on prostitutes within 10 years.
After watching flashes of FOX TV news anchors asking what the difference is between prostitution […]
EXTRA: West Campus Douchebags Strike Back!
Approximately after 1 a.m., West Campus’ douchebag levels rose to level red on the West Campus Advisory System, which appears here:
A witness of the scene described “having a beer on his porch, when sheets of glass began to fall through the above overhanging porch cracks.”
Apparently, the upstairs neighbor had punched through the 4 […]
Doomsday=all white ugly men plus hypersexualized women
When the movie-trailer-voice-man booms to me in brief phrasing that the world will end in yet another movie, I stop paying attention.
Hollywood adopts trends.
In the ’90s, there were dogs, for example. Homeward Bound, Beethoven, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Turner & Hooch, Air Bud… (wow I’m lame for this).
My point is that trends get super […]
SXSW: a potential site for self-imposed sexism?
Sarah Lacy “flirtatiously interviewed” Mark Zuckerberg during his panel session at SXSW Interactive last night, leading the crowd to cause an uproar at her self-focused and somewhat irrelevant questioning (often mentioning her book, etc.).
Media outlets have covered the story in numerous ways. The first thing I read was the article in Wired, which was the […]
Did you know? (Nicole Kidman little-known fact)
Tomorrow, March 8, is International Women’s Day. And it’s not as bogus as it sounds.
International Women’s Day is an official holiday in over 20 countries, including China, Italy, Cuba, and Russia (here, it’s whatev).
The good news is that UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, went for a bold move for good ol’ IWD […]
Which first is first: black man v. white woman?
Maureen Dowd’s opinion piece, “Duel of Historical Guilts,” in today’s NY Times alludes to the divide of the Democratic party after a win by Clinton yesterday in our great state of Texas.
“With Obama saying the hour is upon us to elect a black man and Hillary saying the hour is upon us to elect a […]
The case of the shrunken skirt: a perspective on “cat-calling”
I think every shitty day I have ever had has included some non-descript male and his non-descript friends in some non-descript car/truck with the windows rolled down yelling completely descriptive degradations at me based on some piece of my body.
This especially blows when its raining because you feel like a wet dog that has a […]
You’ll need a jockstrap if you talk to Charlotte Allen
Charlotte Allen obviously did poorly in rhetoric class, because I can’t tell if her opinion piece, “We Scream, We Swoon. How dumb can we get?” from the Washington Post is satirical, is reinforcing gendered stereotypes of women, or is reinforcing angered/crazy stereotypes of radicalism (and that its taken seriously).
This paragraph, for example, grabs me by […]
Painting the town red
It’s that time of the month. Deal with it.
I believe the “woman-on-her-period-means-bitchiness” is a stereotype reinforced by women to get away with crude behavior one week a month. I mean, I do it too. And it’s easy because when the red flag goes up (har har) suddenly significant others flock to the videogames.
Periods are great. […]
