It was the perfect venue for settling her claim that he stole her stand-up comedy set, word-for-word, after they broke up. More »

Enraged conservative hedgehog Sean Hannity once again welcomed Ann Coulter to his show the other day, and the two had some pretty fun yuks about sexual harassment to wrap up their talk about politics. It's a shame that someone with as big a stage as Hannity can't come up with a better joke about on-the-job harassment, a topic ripe for comedy. More »

While perusing images of the recently concluded fashion weeks in Portugal, Thailand, and China (because that's what normal people do in their free time rather than actually interact with other human beings), I came to a startling realization: while it's always been the case that fashion's had a side to it that seems deliberately strange to my untrained and somewhat plebeian eye, there's now a subgenre of what appears to be deliberate pandering to specific pop stars.

Peter Coffin has earned the ridicule of the Internet for (allegedly) making up a fake girlfriend and using "her" various social networking accounts to harass a model and tell racist jokes. He's still denying wrongdoing, but the whole scandal raises a question: why would somebody invent a fake girlfriend in the first place? More »

"Working Girl" (aka Karen Burns) has a novel approach to sexual harassment: just laugh. In a blog post yesterday on the website of US News & World Report, she writes, "laughter as a weapon comes in five flavors." These include "scornful laughter. As in: "Right. In your dreams."" and "diabolical laughter. As in: 'Great! I've been waiting for you to make a stupid mistake like this.'" According to Burns, "laughter confuses the harasser, reversing the whole dynamic in your favor." But we think laughing at harassment carries a risk — that it will confuse harassers so much they won't know what they did wrong. More »

Oh dear lord. We found this Superman "Snuggler" child's toy on the internet with a very suspicious looking mouth. Like, obviously-the-mouth-of-a-sex-doll suspicious. It really gives new meaning to the toy's tagline "Stuff, Hug, Play," doesn't it? Lolz all around! But of course, like most viral things that illicit giggles out of college-aged boys, this thing was too good to be true. Using the same level of internet skills as the infamous Palin hacker (which is to say that we just Googled the toy name) we discovered the true origins of the Superman "Snuggler" sex doll. Click on the image to see the original. [Random Good Stuff] More »
