An Australian club night has banned "metrosexuals" in an attempt to reduce fighting. But a look at the dress code — no Ed Hardy shirts, no popped collars — suggests they're actually banning douchebags. [News.com.au]
"We are douchebags, and it's not a bad word anymore," proclaim the collar-popping, beer-can-crushing, Ed-Hardy-wearing, Axe-body-spraying stars of this video from earlier this week. But what kind of douchebags are they? Perhaps a helpful chart can tell us. [FunnyOrDie, BuzzFeed]
The other day, a friend of mine was waiting for a light to change when a dude on a bicycle pulled to a slow stop in front of her, blocking her path. "I'd like to scoop you up," he said...
You may have seen the commercial at left on late night TV. Apparently European women have discovered a brand new way to get rid of "unpleasant" lady odors, and it involves using a metal douche.
• A group of junior high students in Japan formed a "Miscarriage Club" to harass their pregnant teacher, who they accused of playing favorites. •
The latest installment of Target: Women is Douchebaggery 101. Instead of a textbook, you'll be learning by watching commercials for Carl's Jr. For instance:
• The douche-y dudes at Spike have compiled a list of the top 7 "Butterbodies" (you can guess what that means). Their absurd roundup includes the impeccably gorgeous Salma Hayek. What are they smoking? •
In movies, a male protagonist is often gifted with the magical power of seeing directly into the soul of a woman with whom he's had virtually no contact. In the real world, however, when a guy purports to do this, words like "stalking" and "armchair psychoanalysis" come to mind. Which, of course, brings us to "Doug"…
Modeling. I'll be honest: I didn't really give much of a shit about the plight of its willowy practitioners before I met Tatiana. Now, Tatiana's going to be okay: she's doing this to travel and learn and meet the sort of people you wouldn't meet performing the other types of slave labor to which educated young…
"Casanova Caveman" Paul Janka and "The Worst Person in the World" John Fitzgerald Page both appeared on Dr. Phil today for a show about men with huge egos. I, for one, would be shocked if either of these 'bags get laid anytime soon — if ever again — because they just let millions of women know just what giant tools…
The first beloved entertainer to break America's heart by defying the Writers Guild strike and solicit scabs is... Carson Daly. Huh? Oh yeah, Last Call — there's a show you were really pining for! Anyway, I had to Wikipedia Carson to fill up on all the biographical tidbits I'd missed in all those years passing him off…
"Dating down" on the income ladder is apparently a hot new trend for girls because they're so much more educated than dudes these days. I call bullshit on this trend because between the student loans and handbag collections it necessitates, a fancy job just makes a girl poorer, and to that point the New York Times…
We agree. There's something really creepy about this old-tyme ad for Massengill douches. And honestly, did doctors once actually recommend douching to their patients? [Feministing, via YouTube]
Ever wonder whether there's a man on earth who thinks Ralph Lauren is more important than Ralph Lauren himself? No? Hey, that's why God created Vanity Fair, which assigned one Paul Goldberger to try and draft the esteemed aficionado of shores/offshoring into maybe throwing his hat in the ring for Decision '08:
And…

Confession. We never really had a problem before with the idea of Republicans getting laid, because we wouldn't be here if Republicans didn't get laid, and we definitely wouldn't be dirty Marxists if Republicans didn't get laid, and it's also not like WE have to be the ones to do it. But a story in today's Washington…
Most of the men in our lives have a similar issue with today's clothes: How to find stuff that isn't so tight as to make them look gay/Euro/"vegan", but isn't so boxy as to make them look Republican/frat/fat. Enter Tom Ford. We referenced Ford's $75 socks earlier, but after reading pieces in the WSJ and Washington Post
