I'm not one of those naysayers who bemoans the age of social media. I don't think it cheapens communication or commodifies human connection or whatever the grumps say (grumping on this shit is pointless anyway). Social media lets you riff hilariously with people you truly love, pay lip service to people you…
Donald Trump is in the news again for sparking yet another celebrity feud, this time with Cher. The singer made a comment last week on Twitter about his friend Mitt Romney, saying, "If ROMNEY gets elected I don't know if I can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters."…
When the US Census bureau announced this morning that for the first time in US history, the majority of babies born in 2011 were not white, naturally my first thought was to see what paranoids and dum dums on the internet were saying about it, because I'm nothing if not a chronic hater. After all, this sort of topic…
Yo, men! Do you like leering at women, but sometimes find yourself accidentally thinking of them as people? Smooth shit, Sherlax. Lucky for you dum-dums, here's a book.
There have been some very bizarre and unfortunate arguments made in service of fighting gay marriage, but one pastor in North Carolina has just taken discourse to a dreadful new low. Pastor Sean Harris of Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville thinks he's come up with a simple solution for preventing gay people from…
Yay! More tasty dark corners in the saga of mysteriously deceased fake-art huckster Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light (also Groper of Light, Public Urinator of Light, Drunk Driver of Light, and Siegfried & Roy Magic Tiger Show Disruptor of Light). At the time when he became suddenly and mysteriously dead (of Light),…
Until today, I hadn't watched nor particularly cared about Tosh.0, because sometimes it's more productive to ignore dumb sexist bullshit that you know will make you want to throw things at your television. But this recent segment, in which comedian Daniel Tosh asks viewers to record themselves sneaking up behind women…
Dear everyone on earth, especially 19-year-old girls: Has it really not sunk in yet that you cannot trust any other humans ever? Stop stop stop stop STOP taking naked pictures of yourself and your boobs and your crotch and your johnson and your buns and texting them to some douchebag you had sex with one time in the…
If you haven't heard (in which case you are either Helen Keller or dead), some woman named Samantha Brick wrote a million-word humble-brag in the Daily Mail about how terrifically difficult it is to go through life as a magnificent beauty. It's that same old trope you hear supermodels trot out on every late-night…
Oh, cool. It's time for a groundbreaking male journalist to bravely tackle the most pressing issue of our time — that some women are bad at sex, some women aren't, and some women are in the middle. Quelle horreur!
Animatronic Cardboard Boy Wonder Carson Daly made some tiny, tiny waves this week with his comments about Clayton Frederick Osbon, the JetBlue pilot who went bonkers during flight and started running around the cabin screaming about bombs and Jesus and "sins in Las Vegas" and taking a "leap of faith." The plane's…
Ann Coulter, edgy youth voice of the American cranky old racist movement, was bleeped on MSNBC's Morning Joe today for calling fellow crab John McCain a "douchebag."
In some ways, living as an expat is still basically the stuff of one of those claustrophobic novels about stupid British people in colonial Kenya or whatever, or, like, The Sheltering Sky only maybe less trippy and with more bureaucracy.
"All women have that no-sex-on-the-first-date rule, and all women want a reason to break it," writes bachelor blogger and spokesperson for all women Jozen Cummings. God, this "men talking for women" crap again? I'm bored already.
Last year saw its share of douchebags, assholes, and generally repellent people. Here's what we think — or hope — will happen to them this year.
Duke frat boys would like the world to know that they still have the stranglehold on the douche factor, thank you very much.
Our favorite anti-feminist lawyer is back, and for once, he's gloating rather than complaining. According to the Star Tribune, Roy Den Hollander was pretty excited to hear that the Minnesota Department of Human Rights has cracked down on Ladies' Night.
"The only improvement made in douche bags in twenty years," trumpets this (possibly NSFW) absurd ad for a vaginal irrigation system, oddly named the "Dainty Maid." [Copyranter]
Need a gift for the assclown on your list? Perhaps he'd like this polo shirt embroidered with a pair of breasts. As a bonus, the Washington City Paper's Amanda Hess points out, "they look like balls from far away." [Sexist]
While we're on the subject of language, I'd like to point out that both the word "douchebag" and the concept it stands for are, like, totally over. After the jump, four reasons why.
