A reader sent us a link to these offensive Russian milk ads. Passive women and splattered white stuff ≠ dairy. (More after the jump.) Related, sorta? Oregon's new bill. [English Russia, Shakesville, BoingBoing] More »People: Please Shut Up About Diablo Cody's Sex Work Already
Oscar-winner Diablo Cody turned up on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote her highly-rated (if critically-panned) series The United States of Tara...and, as usual, she was asked about her stint as a stripper. More »Glamour Greets New Year With Lots Of Nookie
