at a time when our nation's young people are getting STDs from playing too much beer pong and christian politicos can't even keep their own kids celibate, america is plainly in need of a useful public sex education campaign. but don't hold your breath, we won't get it; this country can't even tolerate janet jackson's nipple yet. you'd have to go to belgium, where sex in advertising is a form of art. check out this new belgian psa that is perhaps the single best, albeit only, piece of televised sex ed that i've ever seen:
very good taste was looking for people's feedback about food.
copy the below list into your blog.
- bold all the items you’ve eaten. (i also put a * by the number because the bold was difficult to see.)*1. Venison (i make a bangin' smoked cinnamon venison loin.)
-cross outany items that you would never consider eating.
- optional: post a comment at vgt's omnivore's hundred linking to your post.
it's the end of an era. i can't count the number of times that i cut class in high school to escape to manahattan with my friends, only to stand for hours in times square waiting to "see" a celebrity appearing on mtv's total request live. and vacationing on the jersey shore to bake for hours in the sun at the mtv beach house during filming. in fact my friends and i were there when vj damien made his first appearance on mtv. and i remember the days when i couldn't imagine life without mtv. these days, i fall into the ever-growing crowd of people that doesn't quite understand mtv anymore; it's turned into just another cable channel. and now, with the cancellation of trl this november, i fear that the station is losing the last hint of what the "m" in mtv stands for...
r.i.p. trl. thanks for the memories.
i don't want to say that i called it, but... i called it. back in august i wrote a post about 5 books that you shouldn't bother reading. in the last two days, two of the douchenozzles that i wrote about have made it into the news. maybe not headline news, but news nonetheless. check it:
so much for the belligerent and debaucherous exploits of the fuck-a-chick-and-go blogger and filmmaker tucker max. what of those only tangentially related to him? well, a 21-year-old uconn student who called tucker "my hero" was arrested last weekend for "allegedly forcing his way into a sleeping woman's apartment and raping her." how's that for a positive role model in the media? this has been your tucker max and associates update.
it ain't easy being lynne spears: sure, you can live off the wealth accumulated from your daughters' hard work and sell their teen pregnancy secrets to ok! magazine for a million dollars, but occasionally, people will think you're a bad parent! that's why it's important for lynne to set the record straight, and the today show gave her just the forum yesterday. hawking her book through the storm, lynne discussed the perils of overexposing your children, something that will surely be nipped in the bud by her incredibly revealing tell-all about daughter britney's loss of virginity. congratulations, lynne: here's your celebratory cheeto.
what can i say, i call 'em like i see 'em.

THIS is kind of a neat website.

i'm not positive, but i think these people may be my neighbors.
please allow me to begin by introducing you to the wedding party. first, the handsome groomsmen and the fine looking groom*, billy bob (in red). *note the stylish wal-mart sneaks.
red ties, black ties, no tie; mass confusion was had by the entire springer cast family.
here's how i imagine this conversation went:
"alright everyone! let's line up for the picture. let's see... hmmm... where shall we... oh yes!!! perfect! everybody, move quickly! right over there, in front of the garage! yes, that would be smashing!"
i guess a jacket at a wedding would just be too city for these folks, so "let's just pin these here boutonniere's right on these here shirts."
"bubba, put down that cigarette! i done told you once, no smoking during the ceremony, it's tacky."
next, we meet the playmate-ish bridesmaids and the blushing bride.
aren't they sexy? not everyone can pull off such a vibrant red, but i must say, move over heidi klum this group of gals is gunnin'* for your job! *the bride's preferred firearm is a 12-gauge shotgun. it's on her registry. (late gift idea!)
and finally, the cute couple.
those wal-mart flops really enhance her cankles, don't you think? too bad they didn't come in white.
another photo of the happy couple.
at least his head is somewhat proportionate... to her left boob.
what exactly is beulah trying to show us here? the bruise from where she knocked her knee on the trailer hitch? or her serious case of gout? you decide. either way, it's kind of hot. billy bob sure is lovin' it.
"oh, you're so crazy honey!"
"here baby, let me help you up over my fupa."
it's so beautiful, can't you just hear the banjo music?
minutes later, after taking that last photo, beulah and billy bob toasted their budweiser ponies and rode off into the sunset in the bed of their favorite wedding gift...
...a 1980 ford f150.
In what some political observers are calling his most ironic speech of the 2008 campaign, GOP presidential nominee John McCain today lashed out at Washington, the Republican Party and a group of insiders he called "old white men with white hair."
"It's time to take our country back," Sen. McCain told his audience in Dayton, Ohio. "It's time to send a message to those in power - those Republicans in Washington, those old white men with their combed-over white hair."
Sen. McCain went on to attack the power elite on Wall Street, calling them "wealthy plutocrats with private jets and too many houses to keep track of."
"The time has come to say enough is enough to those rich old white men," he said. "And the same goes to their zombie-like trophy wives who plaster their makeup on like trollops."
Responding to the nation's economic turmoil, Sen. McCain said that as President he would create millions of jobs "by putting Americans to work making negative ads."
"We no longer lead the world in manufacturing cars, steel, or computers," Sen. McCain said. "But our negative ad industry is second to none."
In other economic news, President Bush announced another massive bailout today, saying that he had completed a deal for China to buy the United States in its entirety.
"This was a difficult deal to pull off," Mr. Bush acknowledged. "The hard part was identifying the parts of the U.S. that China didn't already own."

i recently found this photo with a comical post-it note attached. i scanned it, along with the post-it and emailed it to found magazine, i'll let you know if they post-it.
there are a few things about this photo that are really intriguing to me. the first, is the pay phone. do they still have those? second, i think it's funny that water would be sold by the half-gallon. i mean seriously, why not just charge $.20/gallon instead of $.10/half-gallon? which leads me to my next point, isn't that really cheap for retail water? i think so. and by far, the most intriguing thing about this photo is the selection this water-matic supplies. i mean, how snobby are we that we get a choice of two kinds of water? purified or "spring-taste." "spring-taste" water, is that like "butter" on your popcorn at the movies? i guess we'll never know...
i remember reading an article a few months ago about the average number of nuts, most notably almonds, that were actually found in almond joy candy bars. apparently there is some sort of controversy about using the word "nuts" in plural form when talking about an almond joy candy bar, because some stupid statistical number, like 96%, of the almond joy bars that they tested had one or less "nuts" in them; therefore denoting false advertising. do i need to say it? yes, indeed, someone has waaay too much time on their hands. and to top it off, i'm pretty sure that no one in the world, after hearing that news, was like "oooh shit, you got those almond joy f#ckers! zing!"
well, maybe cheryl burr was listening, because she came up with this bangin' recipe for better than almond joy, almond joy-esque brownie bars. (i must note, although eternally delicious, recipes like this one are exactly why i hate baking. they are incredibly involved. i'd much rather eat them than make them, but they really are worth the effort if you are up for it.)
