What do you get when you put Carnie Wilson in a canoe? I don’t know either, but I bet it looks a lot like a slightly larger facsimile of Rita G’s whisker biscuit.
Rita G. is an erotic model, sex advice columnist and most visible beneficiary of “the G-Shot,” a newish procedure in which collagen […]

Screw “peak oil,” OK? We’ve got a much serious-er crisis coming down the pike: the ever-dwindling supply of horny, platinum-tressed homewreckers.
The future of the blonde is uncertain. A study by the World Health Organisation found that natural blonds are likely to be extinct within 200 years because there are too few people carrying the […]

What’s that Mr. Orange? Did you say crazy Christians? Oh, you didn’t?

A certain Chancellor in the Republic is building something of an Empire elsewhere on the interwebs - you may have heard of it - and, in spite of our repeated insolence, he has invited us to join it.
And since we’re unapologetic whores for the extra traffic and cash, we accepted. […]

For a guy whose whole cachet is built on a Borg-like assimilation/aggregation of all things “trend”, it seems odd that Malcolm Gladwell would get on the blogging bandwagon so late. (Though we can hardly blame him - hell, if we were getting 40 G’s a pop to mouth memespeak at corporate androids, we’d shitcan this […]

Ever on the cutting edge of scientific inquiry, a crack team at Rutgers University endeavored to put to rest one of the enduring mysteries of our era: Is the “Freshman 15″ actually, like for serious, 15?
