The Mary Jane, um, “action” figure below reminded me of this.
I love, love, love comics where I can look at the characters say, “wow. my body actually kinda looks like that.” (this link contains nekkid.)
That page blew my mind, actually.
Obviously, I was aware that comic art is… not exactly realistic. Not for men, but especially-omg-holycrap [...]

And I’m back! With, as promised, content and shit. For my first post, I will channel my not-very-inner-bourgeoisie and write about National Public Radio.
No. Seriously.
A couple of days ago, Talk of the Nation had Roger Mudd and Bob Schaffer, both former reporters at the CBS news bureau, reminiscing about their days working at that company. [...]

I haven’t said anything about Elliot Spitzer, because really, what is there to say? It’s like he read a book about salacious career-destroying scandals 101 and simply followed the instructions in Appendix A: Rich, powerful man gives scads and scads of money to attractive young call girl who is really a musician waiting for [...]

Mother Jones has gotten a hold of some of the music that U.S. troops use to “induce sleep deprivation, “prolong capture shock,” disorient detainees during interrogations—and also drown out screams.”
Lovely.

I find the use of Rage Against the Machine and Springsteen particularly abhorrent (not only because of the artists’ politics, but because I happen to [...]

My salt shaker has corroded shut, and should I break it tomorrow in a last attempt to open it with some help from a vise, I may need a new salt and pepper shaker set. Maybe this time I’d like a cute one, so off to ebay I go.
And, oh, my god.
First [...]

Via Echidine & Pam, another undergrad guy lets us know what boys want, and that’s a good thing because most of us would never have guessed that the boys want us to set things up so that they may have more opportunities to act on their own Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy fantasies. Turns out, [...]

When I was a child, downtown Cleveland had something around three major department stores, the kind you actually had to visit an urban area to see. We went every winter to see Mr. Jing-a-ling, a Santa look-alike who hosted brunch; people had their bridal registries there and we traveled to these departments stores for [...]

MSNBC lets the people speak in the elegantly named section “Gut Check America.” I have no idea what a ‘gut check’ is, and a quick google search suggests that it is something you get regularly in order to detect colon cancer early and also help you pick stocks. Either way, it provides [...]

“How much are YOU WORTH?” A shady computer tech school in my area begins their radio commercials asking people to pause and reflect on that question before going on to imply that a certification in information technology will be worth about 50K right at graduation, and creating a false sense of prestige by saying [...]

They were right all along
A woman and a neuroscientist (same person) asks, why are all these little girl products pink? Do the girls really love the pink so much?
Answer, yes, yes they do and they can’t help it. They evolved that way.
As the mother of a newborn baby girl, Dr. Anya C. Hurlbert [...]

I love this. How often is the father in a commercial the one clearing away the dishes and lecturing the kid about finishing their dinner, while the fun-loving mother acts like a child to get dessert? No doubt MRA types would see nothing in this but an affirmation that women are irresponsible and immature and [...]
