Here's the story of how he got taken down, and how he vowed to creep …
Elmo in the news a lot lately — some good, some fucking terrible — but nevertheless, the loving furrie cannot be avoided. This time, it's because some Elmo-costumed dude who enjoys harassing tourists with anti-Semitic outbursts was sentenced to a year in jail after admitting he tried to extort $2 million from his…
I love that this exists, but I hate that it's necessary.
There are more than a few scenarios where trusting your gut is A-OK. A sketchy burrito joint. A bikini waxing place operating out of the back of a truck. (I know you bought a Groupon. I'm sorry.) And online dating, for the love of God.
Between playing pinchyhands with unsuspecting asses and holding press conferences during which he announces his refusal to resign, it's a wonder San Diego mayor Bob Filner was able to carve time in his busy schedule for sexual harassment-curing therapy. But he did it, you guys. Mayor Filner allegedly went to, like, at…
Here is a video of a man on the subway performing a medley of songs in which he asks for kisses from women on the train. Super cute right? No.

You might not have heard about the security guard that groped a journalist at this year's E3. Or the writer who gave a PR woman his business card by slipping it in her dress. Or the women presumed to be booth babes simply because of the way they looked.
Craigslist, the parallel dimension where you can find a reasonably priced and barely stained couch as quickly as you can find a free handjob, is not to be trifled with, especially if that trifling involves the “casual encounters” section. Unfortunately, a Wisconsin man learned his lesson about not using Craigslist to…
There’s a huge barrier standing between Afghanistan’s female police officers and on-the-job security. Want to guess what it is? Here’s a hint: it has nothing to do with, say, needing more kevlar vests or working in a destabilized, war-ravaged country. What the Afghan women serving in the police force really need are…
Let your chest do the talking.
At today's Tour of Flanders cycling race in Belgium, second-place Peter Sagan acted like an entitled dumbass when he grabbed the bottom of a "podium girl" who was posing for the cameras with winner Fabian Cancellara. That lascivious smile on his face is so, so gross.

Statutory rape laws, what a drag — am I right or am I RIGHT?? At least that's the opinion of New York Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez. The 71-year-old Democrat from Brooklyn was stripped of all party leadership positions because of unsavory comments he made about the sexiness of a 14-year-old intern. Puke. Even…
Comedian Michael Hartney's partner Turtle was simply walking down his street when some rando idiot called him a "faggot" as he passed. Awesomely/bravely, Turtle took out his (phone?) camera and filmed a confrontation with the dude.
In the 1920s, an anti-flirt movement was afoot. Ladies quickly became fed up with the first car owning scrubs hollering from their magical motorized chariots.
