Lingerie models: Worst Sex and the City look-alikes ever, or better than the real thing? {Stylelist}
May 8th 2008 8:37PM I'd say it's a vast improvement...
After all, Sarah Jessica Parker pretty much looks like a foot.
(Yeah, I stole that one from Family Guy, but it's funny because it's true.)
Renaud Pellegrino Fox Fur Bag, Handbag of the Day {Luxist}
Dec 16th 2006 9:09PM "Fur bags are fine, especially in the winter, when they're tastefully done..." Pray tell unkind sir, how is a bag made from the flesh of innocents tastefully done? Please enlighten me as to how it's made tasteful? Perhaps, through a proper burial or cremation... Through living in a fantasy land in which you pretend that there's no violence involved in harvesting the skin of an animal from it's once live body...
Tackling the Tofurkey {Slashfood}
Nov 21st 2006 11:48PM I always love it when the only way meat chewers can lambaste vegans is by saying "Oh ho ho, so you don't want to eat our sweet sweet dead bird but you want a fake one of your own, well, I never... The nerve of you Vegans... The nerve..."
Yes, it's called a "Tofurky", which I think is mostly a wacky play on words and not actually intended to dazzle us into thinking that inside the box is an anatomically correct version of the real deal. But, more to the point, how does the concept of a person who doesn't want to eat a dead turkey, but still wants to enjoy a traditional style Thanksgiving meal puzzle you so deeply?
Well, I'd wager that it doesn't at all and that you're just being obnoxious, but let's pretend for a moment that you really are concerned with a "Tofurky" buyers motivation...
Speaking solely for myself, I don't eat meat because I don't like eating dead things or agree with the commonly held belief that killing animals is dandy. I do however enjoy eating a traditional Thanksgiving meal, shocking I know, and here's this adorable little hunk of tofu that I can cook (not following the directions on the box because my way tastes far better...) and enjoy along with all the traditional Thanksgiving accouterments, just like everyone else but cruelty free.
My family and I eat our lovely meal and then move on with life. No one questions the apparently maddening paradox between not wanting a dead animal in our mouths and enjoying a, let's face it, not exactly perfect facsimile called a "Tofurky". Yes, it's a food product based on the notion that people eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but that's pretty much where it stops. I've never encountered a Vegan thrashing about in the throws of a complex moral dilemma about whether or not they dare eat a food shaped like a loaf that might be sorta like a turkey, just snarky carnivores looking for some moral or semantical highground...
Salon's Diary of a turkey killer {Slashfood}
Nov 21st 2006 11:24PM Oh well then, if it's now chic to kill and eat animals then I best toss aside my convictions and hop on board the slaughter train with Sergeant Slaughter and the gang, lest I not be chic...
Parish the thought!!!

Abortion Ban Goes Down in Dakota {AOL Elections Blog}
Nov 8th 2006 4:47AM Here's a wild and crazy idea... How's about we leave this complex medical procedure safe and legal and then let people decide if they want to have one or not...
I know. I know. Crazy, right? Letting people make choices for themselves... What on earth must I be thinking when I could be out there trying to cram my ideas down the throats of millions...
Keep it legal, keep it safe and if you don't want one don't have one. Done. Move on already, there's more important issues out there, that involve humans who are already here and suffering...
The Amazing Race: I Covered His Mouth, Oh My Gosh! {AOL TV}
Oct 18th 2006 4:44PM David and Mary (And to a lesser extent The Beauty Queens) are all I'm left watching this season's race for anymore, because this season is Snoozevile, population: me...
Last season's competitors were compelling, interesting, fun to watch and I rooted like crazy for those lovable hippie scamps. This season feels like someone said "Hey, we don't have too many interesting candidates this time... Oh the heck with it, just throw a dart and that's who plays... I'm going to go take a nap."
Even the challenges aren't interesting this time around... "Guess what, you're climbing something again." (Though, I will give them points for use of flaming arrows.)
These people haven't been much fun to watch and they're not very lovable.
I demand more lovable, less loathable next season.
Chocolate that women have a license to crave {Slashfood}
Jul 18th 2006 4:20PM That linking article is just a bunch of horrible sexist claptrap and nonsense... I've had the bar many a time and it's absolutely true that a bite or two is all you need to feel utterly satisfied... It's delicious and seems to have a soothing effect and that's all I need to know not that some asshat thinks women will plow through a caseload of these things resulting in uberchunkafacation...

Dessert-shaped and -scented jewelry {Slashfood}
May 26th 2006 5:07PM About a year ago 'round about Valentine's Day I was on a random website and spotted a "Chocolate Bon Bon" necklace from "Pancake Meow" and ordered two immediately... They were adorable-licious, beautifully packaged, smelled fantastic, looked real and everyone loved them... So, I hunted down the maker online and ordered more necklaces... A cupcake, strawberry pancakes and a glazed doughnut with sprinkles... And each was as perfect as I had expected them to be and smelled fantastic...
I'm currently waiting for another huge order of baked good wearable... The girl who makes them is simply brilliant and the website is well worth a visit...
Kudos to ya'll for getting the word out even more.
(I'm wearing my cupcake as I type this, it still smells yummy...)
Will Philly be the next to ban foie gras? {Slashfood}
May 17th 2006 9:48PM Oh get over yourselves... It's not as if this one act costs any more money than any of the other assorted nonsensical things done by government day in and day out, besides we're talking about a disgusting, cruel food that no one needs... Except pompous gourmands. Done and done...
