I took this picture on 8th street in New York City — these were in the window of Broadway Panhandler. To be fair, there were also pilgrim candles. More »

Just in time for Father's Day, Mandles come in scents like "Fart" and "Freedom." Freedom smells like cinnamon, by the by. [The Sexist via Hysteria] More »

This week White Castle debuted a $10 Slyder-scented candle to benefit Autism Speaks. They're currently sold out online, but you can still get a hamburger-scented air freshener. Either way, it's easier on your belly than eating White Castle. [N.Y. Post] More »

You know those Glade ads, where women buy the cheap candles and plug-ins and pretend they're expensive, then have their dishonesty exposed and mocked? Well, I thought of that while reading this piece on AdAge about how to market to women during the recession. Because apparently someone thinks the way to do it is by encouraging gratuitous deception! Thank you, Glade! More »

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the "advice column" in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs!) In this episode, Rich and I got help from our pal Sasha Frere-Jones again, to tackle problems like leaky vaginas, syphilis, and boyfriends who drool during oral sex. Got a burning question? Send it to potpsych@jezebel.com. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.) More »

Today on New York Public Radio, Leonard Lopate interviewed Charles Bock, author of Beautiful Children, a novel set in Nevada — both the suburbs and the "sleazy Vegas sex industry." Questioned Lopate: "Some of the details (in the book) can be rather stomach-turning, like the stripper who has her nipples surgically hollowed out so she can fill them with wax and light them like candles. Does that really happen?" Answered Bock: "It does happen. And in fact, in the time that I wrote the book where it went from an idea of my imagination to now, that actually is an act that occurs and not just in Vegas, but all over. It's a not common but not infrequent trick that some strippers do do." WTF. Has anyone ever heard of this? You can hear the exchange at around 9 minutes, 50 seconds into the interview. [WNYC] More »
