Warning: The Cosmo Flirting Guide Might Turn You Into A Total Lunatic

Click here to read Warning: The <i>Cosmo</i> Flirting Guide Might Turn You Into A Total Lunatic

One would think that after the ponytail-thong debacle of 2009, Cosmo might reassess their sexy-sexy-sexxx dating advice and dial back the crazy a bit. Alas, the flirting guide in the March 2010 issue proves Cosmo's wackiness is here to stay. More »

Ladies, Watch Out For The Teletransporter

It's a booth shaped like a giant stick of deodorant that will masks noise so your man can get drunk without your harpy-ass bitching about it. But the best part of the absurd beer ad? "Come here, you pirate." [AdWeek]

#WTF?
So I was heading to work today this morning....

I-5 South....
If you know anything about California (LA) Freeways, you know at ANY second the freeway can come to a complete STOP.

So on the I-5 to the 605 South...
The traffic goes to a 50 mph to a 10 mph crawl...

My Road rage starts to kick in.. I'm getting aggravated.. ONLY IN CA, can I leave super early for work and still end up LATE........

So we were crawling down this junction... then the car in front of me makes a big left type turn like hes avoiding something in the road.

Naturally I start turning my car to only to avoid a dead human body laying on the side of the road.

About 100 ft ahead of this, there were about 2 to 3 Cops searching around a car which appeared to be abandoned...

Luckily, there was an ambulance immediately behind me and completely stopped all traffic.....

Only In California

Tears For Fears

Who wants to watch a DVD of women crying? Men in need of a manliness-boost, according to the makers of Crying Girl. It helps revive their "conquering instinct," plus, it has the unintended effect of pushing our rage buttons. [InventorSpot]

Does This Make You Thirsty, Baby? Orangina Ad Leaves Bad Taste

We've discussed a lot of strange and "sexy" ads here, but Orangina's new panther-dominatrix clip may be the weirdest of them all. And as a bonus, it even plays sexual assault for laughs. More »

CBS Cares has a special message for ladies - and the men who love them. Get a pap smear, or schedule one for a woman you care about. Nice sentiment, but this is a recipe for serious present face. [CBS]
