How many times a week do you get the following email:
I’ve visited your website ( url ) and I was wondering
if it would be possible to get a link to my (my partner’s) website on it?
I’ll place a link back to you in X of my (topic or topics, usually unrelated) websites, your link will [...]

Dear Chad, Alltel Customer Service Sucks

Filed under Curator's Notes, Orgasmic Irony

A few months ago we switched to Alltel. I love my LG Touch phone, but the other day I had a problem with text messages (a long story) and needed to call for help. You’d think this would be simple, but it wasn’t.
First I had to get another phone so that I could poke, prod, [...]

Filed under Absurd, Sex

At Motherhood Metamorphosis, Deanna writes, “You Know Sex Ed Is Really Bad When… Cosmo can’t even get it right. In their instructions for Sex Position of the Day: Sensual Shower, their diagram for how to achieve erotic thrills literally misses the mark — the genitals don’t even line up.”
And then she proves the point, by [...]

Two Tickets To Erotica Novella-Land, Maxim Style

Filed under Absurd, Sex

In a real shocker, Maxim publishes obvious sex information with girl-on-girl photos. (Just ‘cuz hubby got shafted with a Maxim replacement subscription when Stuff folded, does he have to keep re-subscribing? Maxim ain’t no Stuff; Stuff was Stuff. ‘Nuff said?)
Anyway, the article is all about how people have more sex (including kinkier sex) on [...]

Jon Replaces His 8 Plus?

Rumor has it that Jon (of Jon and Kate + may be doing a “reality show” dating the Octomom. I heard it on some TV show or other, but Christine Navratil’s talking about it too.
What I don’t get is how they could even hope to apply the word “reality” to such a show. [...]

Every female who has had to remind a male to look her in the eye (or at least her face) as opposed to looking at her breasts when talking to her — and that’s a whole lot of us! — will find this item annoying.
In the October issue of Cosmo, Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley models [...]

If I Only Had A Penis

Dear Wizard of Oz,
After hearing of your kind generosity towards straw men, lions, tin men, and stray girls & their little dogs, I was wondering if I might be granted a penis — just for a few days. And I’ll return it unused, I swear!
I just need one penis, no matter how small, to get [...]

The Corrected Word

Filed under Victimization

I was understandably distraught when I read Christina Hoff Sommers’ Persistent Myths in Feminist Scholarship, in which she finds fault in Berkeley law prof Nancy Lemon & her widely used textbook, Domestic Violence Law, saying:
False assertions, hyperbole, and crying wolf undermine the credibility and effectiveness of feminism. The United States, and the world, would greatly [...]

Vittorio at Toronto Men Unite, a blog encouraging “open and honest discussion” about “the problems many men face in the ‘trenches’ of modern dating,” writes the following in Why Men Lose Interest After Sex:
Many women mistakenly believe that the only reason guys lose interest after sex is because they gave it up too soon. While [...]

Might As Well Just Hit Myself With A Rolled-Up Cosmo

The June issue of Cosmo has a cover screaming the usual predatory scare tactics about love, lust, sex and how not to be a fatty. But buried on page 44, the pickle-sized beef patty on an obnoxiously condiment loaded burger, is the meet of the issue.
Is It Ever Okay To Stay If He’s Hit [...]
