This week, Ke$ha waits for the designers in Central Park, skin glistening like a Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Small bits of krill and shrimp shells are hanging from her stringy locks as she tells the sewtestants that they have to accost random strangers and get them to hand over their clothes. As always, there are spoilers inside, so click at ya own risk!
It’s time for the Super Bowl and the western part of the United States couldn’t be less interested in the outcome as this remix will pit the Giants against the Patriots. Both teams should consider themselves lucky to be in the big game as they were both a couple of plays away from sitting at home and watching the game on their ridiculously expensive TVs. The Giants escaped from San Francisco thanks to a couple crucial special teams errors by a rookie. The Patriots eked out a win over the Ravens thanks to a stellar defensive play (what?) and a missed chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation. Let’s break the game down and see if we can figure out who is going to win this. Continue reading
After coming under fire for their decision to withdraw future funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Breast Cancer Screening program, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation apologized today and vowed to revise its policy and continue allowing Planned Parenthood’s eligibility for future support. Continue reading
Let me tell you a story about my cousin Marci Lapinskas and her husband Jason. A little over a year ago, Marci was pregnant with her second child. It had been quite a year for Marci and her family. Her father had been in and out of the hospital and her mother was recovering from breast cancer.
The shining spot in this family’s life was that she was expecting. One day, she was with her mother and she asked her mom if you could get bruised from the baby beating you up in the inside. Her stomach was covered in deep purple bruises. Marci went to the doctor and found out she had a rare form of leukemia, it was aggressive and needed to be treated as soon as possible. However, Marci was just over 7 months pregnant and they would not be able to start chemo until the bambino was out. Continue reading
Listen here, you white-haired dough-faced serial-screwing alleged historian, you do not get to use Eye of the Tiger in campaign appearances. And I’m glad the guy who wrote it is saying No Way Newt. Continue reading
Norwegian insurance company DNB has found itself on the receiving end of some bad publicity after its draconian crackdown on toilet breaks made worldwide news. DNB installed a surveillance system to track call center employees. If an employee spent over 8 minutes in a day on personal breaks, including time spent in the toilets, a flashing light went off to alert management to the slack employee. Continue reading

The last two episodes have been almost offensively bad. Who do these producers think they’re toying with? We Project Runway fans are legion. Or something. (Most Project Runway fans don’t even get that reference, do they? Except for us. Because we at Crasstalk are multi-faceted and brilliant and amazing etc etc etc.)
Have you seen the trailer for tonight’s episode? You should if you’re into sexy dudes taking their pants off in the middle of a New York City park (in a flirty and not at all creepy way, of course). I’ll let you fan yourself over that. That little scene alone is better than the past two hours of Project Runway combined. Besides, we deserve a little bit of unbelievably-sexy-dude-in-really-just-the-hottest-pair-of-undies-ever after having to look at this monstrosity that Rami subjected us to. Rami! RAMI! How could you? Did you even look at this thing you created? What did we do to deserve this? Continue reading
