We got our hands on a copy of Time Out New York's Sex Issue — from 1996. Let's take a look inside to see what sex was like when business was booming and "hookup culture" hadn't been invented yet. More »

Writing for Time, Joel Stein thought it might be funny to lament the changes taking place in his hometown of Edison, New Jersey, due to an influx of Indian immigrants. But Kal Penn, writing for the Huffington Post, isn't laughing. More »

Along with the "Time 100," there's this list of the 100 least influential people, which includes freaking RUE MCCLANAHAN, apparently because she's overshadowed by Betty White's second wind. Listen: We adore Betty, but don't you dare question Blanche Devereaux. [Time] More »

For those who've been following the saga of asshole-wit Joel Stein's road to fatherhood, his take on placenta-cookery (aka placentophagy) won't shock you: "when Cassandra's looks fade in her 50s, there's no way I'm putting up with this crap." More »

Joel Stein is worried about Barack Obama's chances on Tuesday. Not because of the Bradley Effect, mind you, but because of a phenomenon Stein dubs "the Urkel effect, which holds that voters leaning toward Obama will walk into the voting booth and suddenly think, I cannot take four years of listening to that giant-eared nerd." Stein argues that Obama's secret nerdiness has revealed itself over the past few months, as "he's earnest like C-3PO, emotionless like Spock, overly practical like Encyclopedia Brown and incredibly skinny like C-3PO, Spock and Encyclopedia Brown." Oh, and also, Stein doesn't think Obama can dance, so that's landed him in the nerd category as well. Listen here, Joel Stein: as a nerd, I can tell you this: I know uncool when I see it, and Barack Obama is anything but uncool. More »

Oh Joel Stein, you're so adorable, trying to goad us into anger with your little "humor column" talking about how "whatever wave of feminism we're on in 2008 demands that I objectify Palin." I know you've said before that you're "horribly jealous" of Ann Coulter because her deliberate attempts to piss people off work, while your own idiot screeds are mostly ignored. Well, like a toddler throwing a particularly snot-filled temper tantrum, with your column about Palin's sexiness today you have our attention. While 95% of your article is not funny and completely sexist in a painfully unoriginal, Benny Hill kind of way, you make a single, salient point. But we'll get to that at the end. Let's start with the new-asshole tearin' first! More »

George Clooney is on the cover of Time magazine, and the story, written by Joel Stein, reads kind of like a blog entry. For the interview, Stein invited Clooney over to his house for dinner; Clooney agreed. Stein tries really hard to contain his fanboy glee. But. If you weren't already hopelessly in love with the 46-year-old actor — if you didn't already find him unbelievably charming — this article seals the deal. He comes off as smart, down-to-earth, effortlessly cool. Some gems: Clooney doesn't accept gift bags. "Rich famous people getting free shit looks bad. You look greedy. And I don't need a cell phone with sparkles on it," he says. But you'll never hear him bitching about stuff like that: "I know what pisses people off about fame," Clooney says. "It's when famous people whine about it." More »

A study undertaken by sleep researchers has found that women dream about sex just as often as men do. These findings, apparently, are different than those from a similar study conducted 40 years ago in which "women reported way fewer sexy dreams than men did," More »
