Breaking Out A Good Pick Up Line Is An Art. When You Come Across A Good One, Like A Really Good One,

Breaking out a good pick up line is an art. When you come across a good one, like a really good one, then it's pretty spectacular.

Some of the ones in this Mad Men montage are kinda corny. But if they were delivered that smoothly and confidently, then yeah. I'd bite. 

Candwhich is the sandwhich in a can. In a can! There are so many wrong/right (choose your own word there) things about the western world, and this is one of them.

Now, I'm a lazy person. I'm a huge fan of anything that saves time and effort. I've only used clothes driers for years (power bill be damned!) and I'm currently hyperventillating at the thought of moving to a flat that doesn't have a dishwasher. I like conveniences. I get that shit. But this is way too far.

What the hell, man? It comes in BBQ Chicken/You-will-eat-this-and-die flavour? Ugh, I think I just threw up a bit. No, I did not make this up. This shit is real.

Warning: may induce rage and disgust

So, a guy recorded a live-streamed rape and blogged about it on StickyDrama (I'm not linking to that shit - go do your own google search), a website primarily for tweens and teenagers. And he didn't report the rape to police

Yes, that's real. Wanna know what makes it worse? This guy is the owner of StickyDrama and is 31 years-old. But wait! There's more! He eventually handed his evidence over to police - but only after they seized his software 3 months later.

That shit makes me sick. Go ahead and click on the link. It creates all sorts of rage. But the most stab-inducing one is the following quote:

"We could not help but feel the handling of the warrant was … well … rude! We would have happily handed over our recording to the police, had they only asked us. But instead of sending a courteous email, the police took our server offline without warning.

The fuck, bitch? Seriously? The police had to ask nicely for the rape evidence that you had? The fact that they had to even ask was bad enough but you wanted them to say please? This guy makes 4chan look almost bearable. Almost.

What the fuck happened to respect? Do we really have to keep educating people about how wrong rape is? What makes a person think it's okay to make fun of a rape victim? What the hell is wrong with people??

Argh, too much rage. I can't even finish writing this.

WANT. NOW.

Bullrush was one of the bestest games ever when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it. Dunno if I'd ever play in this game though. Still, it's one of my favourite ads.

  You just can’t make this stuff up. The Ladies Against Feminism (for real) co-sponsored a “baby conference”where Michelle Duggar of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting received the “Mother of the Year Award.”

As Amanda tweeted, “I fail to see how being physically capable of non-stop pregnancy is the same thing as being the world’s best mother…That’s like saying the guy who can eat 50 hot dogs in a minute is the world’s greatest gourmand.” Why is ultimate motherhood simply about having as many babies as possible? And when oh when is the Christian Right going to stop promoting the notion that women’s ultimate purpose is incubating?

I also think it’s worth noting that the founder of Ladies Against Feminism, Jennifer Chancey thinks women shouldn’t vote or hold office. So apparently being a dope mother is also about teaching your children that women don’t deserve or need equal rights.

Nwk friend Kathryn Joyce wrote a very nice piece for us a few years ago (and a nicer book) about the Quiverfull movement that is behind things like this.
