Spot anything in this Ralph Lauren Blue Label that seems kind of...off? Just one clue: in real life, the model, Filippa Hamilton, doesn't actually double for a Giacometti. More »

This clip, from a mid-90s BBC show, helpfully illustrates the dangers of thinking while female, providing an example of what women should say (surprise: it's all about sweetness, stroking male egos, and kittens). [BoingBoing] More »

• John Lennon was murdered 28 years ago on this day and Yoko Ono has released one of the pictures of Lennon shortly before he died to Boing Boing. • A new study suggests that domestic dogs can experience a simple form of envy. • A Florida man who plays the part of a Santa for pets has been peed and pooped on by various critters but he says that it still beats working with kids.• A new study claims that status for men is linked to having "more sex or better-quality partners" and men have evolved to become aggressive when they are looking to increase their standing. • More »

A reader tipped us off to this "Boob Job Piggy Bank," which is currently being sold on a website that specializes in room decor for women "ages 13-22." One could easily argue that it's just a silly joke jar aimed at the higher end of that age spectrum, but still: isn't there anything else to encourage young women to save their money for? In fairness, the site,Wake Up Frankie, also claims to cater "to many different personalities and lifestyles. Frankie thinks every girl should have a really cool and hip place to sleep and hang out, place that lets you express you- whoever you are!" And perhaps some people just like to express themselves through Boob Job Piggy Banks, no? The bank has already been met with mixed opinions on BoingBoing, with commenters calling it everything from "clever and funny" to "icky" to "So wrong on so many levels it's hard to know where to start." What do you think of the Boob Job Bank? Funny? Offensive? Or just kind of dumb? [BoingBoing] More »

Remember during Britney's darkest days, when she was washing down sedatives with "purple drank?" A company has capitalized on Brit's quest for oblivion, and is now marketing something called Drank, an "anti-energy drink," and according to BoingBoing, "The grape-flavored drink is fortified with melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips." The Voice adds this from Drank's press release: "From design to production, every aspect of this calming drink was inspired by today’s popular hip hop artists who embrace the much sought-after hip hop lifestyle that encourages people to capture a stress-free state of mind." Nothing says stress-free like a giant bottle of faux Dimetapp! [ BoingBoing, Village Voice] More »

All is not well at the home of Joan and Ken Harper. Joan is crying herself to sleep at night and, in the morning, burning the oatmeal and toast. Ken is moping around, making his three kids cry, and getting his hand caught in machinery at work. Such is the life of a young couple whose marriage is on the rocks — because they love each other! Or rather, because they aren't getting any! More »

• The similarities between George W. Bush and Lindsay Lohan never cease to amaze us. Both have substance abuse problems. Both claim to be clean. Both drink while claiming to be clean. Both don't show up for work (Georgia Rule, The G8 Summit) when they've been drinking too much while claiming to be clean. And most importantly, both are spoiled rich kids who don't take the world around them very seriously. The fact that one's a 20-year old teen star and the other is the leader of the free world? A minor detail. A minor detail that scares the bejesus out of us on a daily basis. [Tennessee Guerilla Women]

How times change. Take this image from a recently-released archive at UCLA showing a computer-created rendering of "Miss Formula", the 'perfect female'". Published in the LA Times in July 1964, "Miss Formula"'s curvaceous (and presumably, life-size) ideal has, of course, morphed into something a little more boyish and a lot more emaciated. Something kinda like the taut little brunette presenting her for display! More »
