first problem here - there must have been a few more real celebrities who could have made this list.
#1 - Christina Applegate - bad outfit, yes, but more boring than any other more serious offense.
#4 looks like her stretch pants were so tight she had an "accident"
#10 - Divine will get you, girl!! And technically, what the hell is that anyway - a camel-toe?, a vagina?, a pudendum?, a Georgia O'Keefe forgery? or misplaced Rorschach test?
@sensitivitycop: This is a buggaboo for me - that's a vulva (labia majora to be nitpicky - which I am). The vagina is internal - mostly. Unless we're talking prolapse - and that's the only thing that would make that MORE horrifying.
I'd put #1, #2, #3, #5 and maybe #9 in the "people who tried to look good and failed" category, and the others in the "trying to be cool/edgy/avant guarde but looking the fool" category.
Except #10 because vulva never goes out of style. And his suit is lovely.
I just went on iTunes to download their free Christmas album (thanks for the tip sis!) and I discovered that Chris Brown's album is the #10 spot. #10. Lots of people must be buying. I'm gonna get a drink of the alcoholic variety. Good thing I don't have work tomorrow.
Baaaahahahaha. I love this angry misogynist rant! It’s kind of like a MadLib. Ready for this?
Behold, the blank version:
_(choose radom collective "A")_ lack foresight for the same reason children lack it; they focus on themselves to a dysfunctional degree. Without _(choose opposing collective "B")_ guidance, _(collective "A")_ neglect to consider the viewpoint of others. As a result, _(collective "A")_, in relation to _(collective "B")_, lack the capacity to bear heavy responsibilities. Yet, because of _(concept related to collective "A")_’s reckless encouragement, they happily volunteer to "steer" the lives of others, oblivious to the dangerous situation this creates for everyone; our _(concept related to collective "A")_society lowers academic, professional, and civil service standards to accommodate _(collective "A")_’s irresponsible desire to accept duties they were never designed to fulfill. Consequently, our schools, our economy, and our lives must all sit in the passenger seat, waiting for the inevitable crash.
And now, for funsies, a filled-out version. SO MUCH FUN:
Conservatives lack foresight for the same reason children lack it; they focus on themselves to a dysfunctional degree. Without liberal guidance, conservatives neglect to consider the viewpoint of others. As a result, conservatives, in relation to liberals, lack the capacity to bear heavy responsibilities. Yet, because of Republicanism’s reckless encouragement, they happily volunteer to "steer" the lives of others, oblivious to the dangerous situation this creates for everyone; our Republican society lowers academic, professional, and civil service standards to accommodate conservatives’ irresponsible desire to accept duties they were never designed to fulfill. Consequently, our schools, our economy, and our lives must all sit in the passenger seat, waiting for the inevitable crash.
@ausdenbergen: Dogs lack foresight for the same reason children lack it; they focus on themselves to a dysfunctional degree. Without feline guidance, canines neglect to consider the viewpoint of others. As a result, dogs, in relation to cats, lack the capacity to bear heavy responsibilities. Yet, because of the dog owner’s reckless encouragement, they happily volunteer to "steer" the lives of others, oblivious to the dangerous situation this creates for everyone; our canine society lowers academic, professional, and civil service standards to accommodate dogs’ irresponsible desire to accept duties they were never designed to fulfill. Consequently, our schools, our economy, and our lives must all sit in the passenger seat, waiting for the inevitable crash.
ugh i am reading this principles 101 thing and it's horrific. i can't stop reading it though...it's like a car wreck you can't look away from, or something.
how can men like these NOT understand that many of these female characteristics they are speaking of (if they even exist) are totally not about feminism at all?
yeah, yeah, i know. drag me by my hair to the cave already!
i kind of feel sorry for this guy for being so fucked up...he obviously has romantic and/or mother issues. he also scares me...he's probably going to be a serial murderer if he isn't already.
I have no words for this 'principles' thing. The guy that wrote it has serious issues -of which the raging and blatant misogyny is just one. He is obsessed with order, function and authority and correcting people's behavior. It reads like a serial killer manifesto from an episode of Criminal Minds.
@boobookitteh: I probably shouldn't have clicked on the link and given this guy the page view, but there's a section on the necessity of applying physical/psychological pain. Because apparently, it's needed to get women to do what you want (remember, they're just like little children!). Like forcing them to leave your apartment and telling them to get out. Scarily, physical pain isn't really discouraged, it just says that it's extremely painful for a person.
This is some scary stuff, and I'm happy that most men I know wouldn't agree with this sociopathic screed. It's really too bad that you can't get locked up for writing this kind of stuff--with this kind of message, someone is going to act on it and cause harm to another person. (Wow, the guy who wrote this should be amazed--I am female, and AM thinking of someone besides myself when I say that this should never be published).
@boobookitteh: Word. I went to the site and read through the comments and any time someone disagrees with him he calls them an idiot and tells them they can't read. Very mature!
@boobookitteh: And for all his obsession with order, his thoughts, as expressed, are hopelessly jumbled, which is not a good sign. His work is just riddled with rather specious sophisms (although that might be giving them too much credit) and material fallacies.
But I'm certain he'd be better at my job than I am, despite his demonstrated lack of coherent, logical thought, persuasive ability or charisma.
@boobookitteh: The best citation is this one: "And a recent study by Cooking Light further supports this fundamental difference between the genders by noting that sex for women is far from a necessity: [...]"
I can't argue with a recent "study" by Cooking Light, esteemed journal of sex and gender.
@SeriesofTubes: Yeah, they flamboyantly failed to poll us low-carbers who Cook a little Heavier, with an excess of white, cracked black, and cayenne pepper, if you feel me.
@ImperfectLit.Woman: I think he might be crossing her out of his Little Black Book? Or writing in the number of a more demure, well-groomed lady? Only Man knows for sure.
Who wants to come to my house tonight and be both gradually and spontaneously careless? Once I have achieved this precarious mixture of carelessness, I will then gradually and spontaneously locate and burn all copies of Principles 101.

Really, what else is there? It reminds me of "the atheist's Ten Commandments"
1. There's probably no god.
2. Try not to be an asshole and enjoy life.
3-10. See #1 and #2.

The one where she is leaning into the next booth to caress another guy's head is classic.
Then there's another great one where it looks like she's sticking her finger in her date's ear?
Some suggestions are timeless... and not just for dating. I'm gonna give the 1930s some credit here.

Step 1: only be with someone you actually LIKE as a person and enjoy being around.
Step 2: don't act like a jerk.
