Saturday Night Social: It's a Great Night To Crip Walk Off a Table

An oldie, but a goodie. Looks like SOMEONE attended the Twerking Academy. All the bonus points because this cat's name is Bubba. (But actually, this cat's OK, right? Please email us if you're OK, cat.)

These might the kind of sound bites you'd think would come from, say, the premiere of a Michael Bay movie, but — nope! Roman Polanski and Francois Ozon, two iconic male directors, with scores of nuanced, sensitive and artistic films behind them (although, obviously, not without a patchy sexual history on Polanski's end) went to Cannes, arguably the highest-minded annual film festival there is, and said some of the most ass-backwards shit about women's relationships with contraception and prostitution that I've ever heard.

Harper Re-Releasing 1956 Coming-Of-Age Novel Chocolates For Breakfast

I don't make a habit of reviewing galleys of books that get sent to me, because — unlike panning The Hangover 3 or something, after which Doug Ellin will probably not show up at my house with tear-stained sleeves — there is the distinct possibility that the author will read my review, and I don't like to hurt people's …

Let's be clear. This article — "Dear Girls, Please Shave Your Pubic Hair" — written by "Bernie B" for Thought Catalog is clickbait that's meant to make you angry. And it works! I clicked, I got mad and now I'm responding to it. It's the ciiiiiiiiiircle of internet life and it moves us all, especially if you, like me, don't like it when some faceless dickwad tells you what to do.
