Today, Obit's Judy answers the plea of a teen who just wants to shout for joy now that a mean school principal is dead. Judy's advice was way too reasonable, so we asked a bunch of random dead people! More »

Esquire put up a slideshow of 75 books every man should read, and it is indeed a very good list. However, it's a very good list that's also extremely myopic. It relies way too heavily on the old white dude cannon (particularly the WASP angst end of it) with books by Updike, Cheever, Kingsley and Martin Amis, Hemingway, McPhee, Joyce, Roth, Mailer, and the token Russians. There are only four non-white men on the list (Ellison, Rushdie, Haley, Wright) and just one woman, the incomparable Flannery O'Connor with her classic book of short stories, A Good Man is Hard to Find. The only really offensive choice on the list is Bukowski. I've read Bukowski, and even though he's an old cuss, I like his writing. However, I would never call something so unapologetically misogynistic something men "should" read. Anyway, in light of Esquire's myopia, we decided to curate a list of 20 books every woman should read. You should fill in the other 55 in the comments! More »

Okay, so a few days ago we came across this article in The Sun about women who prefer to date "ugly" men because they treat you better. Said one lady: "I can't imagine anything more boring than classic handsome looks. I prefer no teeth, baldness and piercings to model looks." And, you know, we could totally relate! (Except for the "no teeth" part.) For some reason, around the time we graduated from college [Or, in the case of one of us, dropped out! -Ed.] the whole pretty-boy thing just didn't do it for us anymore. Maybe it was all the self-involved, Johnny Depp-idolizing drama students we came across. Or maybe we just got a clue. After the jump, Anna and Moe discuss the pros of partnering with "less-alluring" men. More »
