After watching last night’s Super Bowl advertising, I’m totally sick of sexism in advertising. Specifically, I’m sick of Go Daddy’s 5-year naked girl campaign. This morning’s reports tout the “success” of Go Daddy commercials at driving website traffic and converting sales. Apparently that the ads were called “lowest of the low” by business experts makes CEO [...] As generally happens when a celebrity dies suddenly, the vultures (read: tabloid speculators) have begun circling over Brittany Murphy (again, the right way to spell her name, look it up). The latest fodder for gossip is her use of prescription drugs, among them Klonopin, Atavan, Fluoxetine, Vicoprofen and Propranolol.

Tom Duane, our first openly-gay Senator (that I campaigned for when I was in high school, thank you very much) spoke publicly in chambers about his personal life. Others spoke about their history of working against all kinds of [...] Since today is World AIDS Day, in honor of the only 100% effective way to prevent the spread of the disease, I’m coming out: I’ve been celibate for over 1 year. Someone should applaud or throw me a party or something. To be clear, I’m not in the middle of a drought, looking for a [...] . . .I think my dad went to the V.A. for a non-essential Viagra prescription and probably paid less than $20 for it. Insert appropriate outrage [...] My hair is an old, disobedient dog. . .It goes where it wants, indoors or out, and generally exasperates me to the point that I want to get rid of [...] Where can I get this? Have people literally gotten stupider and stupider? In case you’re one of them, I’ve highlighted the important parts of this post. Today Plaxico Burress, form.erly of the NY Giants, was sentenced to up to 3 1/2 years in prison for shooting himself in the leg. Okay, it was really for carrying [...] |
