Get It? It's Funny Because She's Fat 2008-06-20 12:49:21 Beer ads have just sunk to a new low. Cooper's Beer, I've never heard of it either, has just won an award at some ad festival for their unfunny as well as misogynistic ad featuring a badly Photoshopped woman who's...gasp FAT. Get it, guys?! She's an overweight woman, and you wouldn't want to go home with her because of it. So, drink this shitty beer with 2.9% alcohol, and you won't get so drunk Read more:Funny

(Via Adrants)It's a sad day for single women everywhere when Sex and the City jumps the shark. Methinks they should've just left things off with the season finale.

You Can't Handle the Truth 2008-06-19 20:53:55 As many of you know, I am a huge fan of reality TV. I DVR all the Bravo shows, Real Housewives of Orange County, Real Housewives of NY, Top Chef, Flipping Out, Project Runway, Work Out, hell I've even watched Top Design with the snarky interior designer, Jonathan Adler. I love these shows. I consider these type of shows as the thinking man's reality TV. The characters are interesting, somewhat Read more:Handle

Anish Kapoor: Past, Present, Future 2008-06-19 08:07:05 I went to see the new exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston called "Anish Kapoor

". It was interesting, but not really my thing. I don't know if I'm not cultured or intelligent enough to grasp this type of artwork, or it's just that most modern art doesn't really move me. I walked into a huge room filled with ginormous sculptures: bumps, mountains of red
He's Just Not That Into You: The Movie 2008-06-19 08:06:22 He’s Just Not That Into You, the novel and dating bible of the 21st century, is now a feature film starring Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Ginnifer Goodwin.

She dropped it down in front of

Flip-Flops May Cause Foot Pain 2008-06-18 09:20:43 Researchers are finding evidence that summer flip-flops may cause foot pain. Personally, I've never been a fan of flip-flops. I do have a pair, but I only wear them when it's really hot, and I'm hanging out at the beach or a pool. Flip-flops are not that comfortable, and the thong in the middle usually tears apart the sensitive skin between my toes. OUCH! I remember my mom had brought a cute pair Read more:Cause

Sad Day 2008-06-17 09:21:47 Our family dog, a Shih-a-Pooh named Rover was put to sleep last night. He lived to the incredible old age of sixteen years old. The poor guy had pancreatitis and his kidneys were slowly failing. He was too old to make it. He hadn’t eaten in 9 days, and my mom couldn’t see him suffer any longer. My boyfriend and I saw him this past weekend, and he was just lying in the living room underneat
Hallmark Needs to Get a Clue 2008-06-15 14:54:59 I was searching for Father's Day cards yesterday, trying to find one for my father and one for my stepfather. I came across a cute card with a set of tools on it for my father, and I thought it would be a nice card because he is a carpenter. I thought it was funny and fit the situation perfectly. Then, I tried to find a Father's Day card for my stepfather. All I could find was cards that said, Read more:Hallmark

This Pissed Me Off 2008-05-30 15:18:17 Today at work as I was walking to the printer, a fellow co-worker called my name from a few feet away to alert me that my blouse had ridden up on the side. Who cares?? It's not as if my ass was hanging out of my pants or a nipple was exposed. Relax. At first, when I heard her say my name, I ignored her because she annoys me anyway. Then, she said my name even louder and motioned to me that I Read more:Pissed

Last weekend, the realtor called me and told me that he was showing the place to a couple who really wanted it after seeing pictures. This was on Friday. I rushed home from work early, busted through the door, immediately started complaining to Read more:Volume
Psychic Kids 2008-07-01 08:31:02 Okay, I must confess that I've been watching A&E's Psychic
Kids with Chip Coffey, and I really like it. I'm a huge closet fan of paranormal shows like Paranormal State, Ghost Hunters, and the bone-chilling show, A Haunting (you won't sleep for days). I think it's because I've always been frightened of the paranormal and all its mystery. I'm also afraid of the dark, which is ridiculous because I
