Planet of the Guidos: Why Staten Island is New... →
Pretty interesting read. As someone who now lives in Staten Island it makes me chuckle (I’m not offended). These people definitely exist. It’s just not the whole island.
SLATE: Italian-American organizations, a New Jersey state senator, irritated Jersey locals, and Alyssa Milano were among those who tuned in (or refused to) and hammered MTV for trafficking in negative stereotypes....
NY Times Acknowledges Error In Hendricks Image →
GOTHAMIST: It’s been a couple of days since we pointed out that the Gray Lady ran an altered image of Christina Hendricks at the Golden Globes, in an article where writer Cathy Horyn used an anonymous quote to call the actress “big.” Since then, the story has made the rounds, and the Paper of Record has printed an explanation, of sorts, saying: “The photo was slightly...

EYE M SICK: “Here’s where things get really dark. Even if he doesn’t fully comprehend why, Ben realizes that a big reason he became leader was his visit to the Temple as a child. Knowing this event is pivotal, he deliberately stokes Sayid’s murderous rage during the time they’re off the Island so Sayid won’t hesitate — or even blink — when shooting...

This is not cool.
GOTHAMIST: By yesterday evening the Paper of Record published not one, but two takedowns of women — somewhat unsurprisingly, both centered around weight and penned by the fairer sex. The stage for the scrutiny was the Golden Globes red carpet, which many an actress strolled down on Sunday night.
The first piece, written by Andy Port (yes, a woman), declares that Jennifer...

GQ: “The best prank I ever pulled was I told a guy that—five years from now—I’m gonna give you my show. And then when the five years came, I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly.”

9 Strange Things Found While Searching for Waldo →
Martin Handford’s Where’s Waldo books have been adored by kids the world over since the absent minded candy striped hitchhiker first made his debut in 1987. That being said, this is not an effort to defame the Waldo (or “Wally” depending on where you’re reading this) books because frankly, life would be much less cool without them. Instead, our ambition is to point...

Colleen Farrell of New York Cares told the Times that she’d be happy to take unworn clothing off these retailers’ hands—but for H&M and Wal-Mart, that would be putting perfectly good merchandise into the hands of people who couldn’t and perhaps shouldn’t afford it in the first place.
