2012 was filled with hot topic political moments. From the 2012 election and financial woes, to domestic and international issues, we’ve seen a wide swath of commentary, posturing, and all out batshittery that’s filled up the airwaves, the cable news channels, and made for much Daily Show fodder.
Let’s take a look at some of the most talked about. Continue reading
Men and their OKCupid plight has been a churning topic in the blogosphere for the last couple of days. Well, that, and this other weird email the website sent out in honor of today’s end of the world day which asks if you want to die alone, which seems like a sad, sad statement about singledom that we’ll just leave right there. But we’ll say that for all of us marrieds out there, there may be a certain level of bafflement when it comes to the online dating world and how men and women fare in it. Groups of so-called nice guys are adamant that they’re not getting a fair shake. Is that true? And if so, what should they be mindful of? Continue reading
What could be considered one of the most batshit crazy pressers this blogger has ever endured, began with hollow recognition of the carnage that unfolded a week ago today at Sandy Hook elementary and the supposed respectful silence the NRA showcased in its aftermath, and ended with a plan that would see everyone from police, to firemen, and somewhat shockingly, armed patriotic “volunteers,” patrolling America’s schools.
The NRA is an insane organization. Continue reading
To a New Yorker there is nothing as sacred as the perfect “slice.” Even if you just arrived in the city an hour ago, you are practically weaned on the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and crust. And we don’t need no fancy toppings to make it the best thing in the world. Whether you’re at one of the innumerable Ray’s Pizzas, or some joint you came across during a random jaunt, since it’s pizza in NYC, how can it go wrong? Making it too fussy is sacrilege. Simple is always best, so what may be hard to stomach is how the rest of the world sees pizza. Behold Pizza Hut Singapore’s “Pizza In a Pizza” brought to you today by Buzzfeed.
This makes us want to die. Continue reading
We’re so kidding. There’s no way anyone would cast Zac Efron as JFK, would they? Jimmy Kimmel wants to play Freddy to Leno’s Jason; X-Men be Damned! Bryan Singer to television; Just Jack gets Back in NBC’s Pack (Rhymes we gots them); Catfish to continue making people squirm in all their Pinocchio-ness; Ben Affleck backs out of K-Stew web. Continue reading
We don’t know what Participant Media thinks The CW and MTV are, but apparently they strongly disagree that they’re networks that interest millennials. We think this after hearing that Participant has plans to launch a network geared toward the millennial generation or “The Next Greatest Generation” (of viewers) as they’d like (everyone?!) to refer to them.

Oh, America.
It’s not really surprising, but for those of us who maybe thought the deaths in Newtown would affect some sort of immediate societal change — well, we’re disappointed once again. Continue reading
New movie posters are fun! They’re the first glimpse we get into the brain of an upcoming movie, but more importantly, of whether or not the film looks like a hit or the kind of thing that will be ridiculed in a few short months. Guess where potentially these four fall? Continue reading
As the small town of Newtown, Connecticut and the nation at large still mourn the deaths of the innocent in the second worst school shooting in American history, our thoughts and feelings are already being shaped into arguments about gun control and mental healthcare in this country.

So, you’re all set and jazzed to see what capable director Guillermo Del Toro will offer us all with his new stunner of a film, Pacific Rim. And it’s a kind of a big deal, because he backed out of The Hobbit, to make this sci-fi battle monster zone movie, and it could maybe pay off, since the early reviews of The Hobbit have left some dismayed and perhaps crying sullenly in their homemade Shire made out of balloons — but then you remember what Michael Bay has done to the robot movie genre and now you’re full of trepidation, fear, and hatred!
