A German pop star claims he had an erection for two days following an overdose of Viagra. Tom Kaulitz had apparently never seen a single commercial for the drugs, else he would have called the doctor after four hours. [TheSun] More »

As far as teenybopper pop stars go, Taylor Swift is probably one of the best. Her songs are catchy and filled with the kind of lyrics you would have written on your high school notebooks. More »

There are very few things that truly send me into fits of rage. And yet when I came across the (NSFW) website for Operation Perfect, I turned into Miss Hannigan, and started screaming "Kill! Killlllll!" More »

Can we please just take a moment to call shenanigans on these "Whopper Virgins" commercials that Burger King insists on playing every 5 minutes? The premise itself is ridiculous: Burger King travels to remote areas of the world, basically "rounds up" people who have never eaten Whoppers before, and then films them as they taste a Whopper for the first time. "The Whopper is America's favorite," a voiceover claims, "but what will these people choose?" Perhaps the most offensive part of the ads is, as Marilyn Borchardt of Food First points out, the fact that "the ad's not even acknowledging that there's even hunger in any of these places." Brian Morrissey of AdFreak.com calls the ads "embarrassing and emblematic of how ignorant Americans still seem to the rest of the world." What do you think of the "Whopper Virgins?" Offensive? Hilarious? Or just plain stupid? For those of you who haven't seen the ad yet, a clip is after the jump. More »

Alex Williams wanted to throw a holiday dinner party, but in this economy, he found it difficult to throw a proper shindig on a budget, and so he enlisted the help of David Monn, a party-planner who made it his mission to help Williams throw a "downsized" feast for his guests. Williams recounts this experience in The New York Times, writing with wonder about the deals he was able to snap up at Kmart, Jack's 99 Cent Store, and Trader Joe's, as if these places were exotic wonderlands where magical cheapness comes to life. In the end, Williams is able to carry off the entire party for a "budget" total of $238.40. To which we say: shenanigans, Alex Williams. She-na-ni-gans. More »

I come to tell you a story of a different time, a time when pleated, tapered, fanny-pack supporting jeans were all the rage, a time when kids and adults alike slipped on their NOT t-shirts and BK Dymacel shoes and hit the dance floor to do a strange and awful dance called "the Electric Slide." There was a horror that terrorized us all during that time: some people say they still have nightmares about it, and others, though they try to deny taking part, are forced to live with photographic evidence that they fell for the evil force, as well. For this was a monster that lived in drawers and closets across the nation, hanging in their splattered glory, waiting to be paraded around town by an army of clueless fashion victims. Where I'm from, we dare not speak the monster's name, but for those who can't forget, the name still haunts us in our nightmares and our dreams: Acid Wash Jeans. You may think you're safe from such a thing, ayuh. But you're wrong, kid. You're terribly, terribly wrong. More »
