Sheena Beaston just posted her top 10 albums of the year. Dizzee Rascal, Fever Ray and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs might all be on my list as well if I ever got around to making one, but how have I never heard of this Aceyalone person before?
Someone my age in my hometown was profiled in The Atlantic for being homeless. Also, hookers! (Don’t read the comments on that second one unless you want to start hating people.)
If you’ve ever wanted to see watermelon-themed twink porn–and shut up, of course you have–now’s your chance. My favorite part might be the scrubs or whatever that the guy’s wearing at the beginning. Unless my favorite part is the subtitles. It’s hard to say.
I guess maybe I should start watching Gossip Girl. I didn’t even know Serena’s brother Eric was a major character on the show. (He’s not in the books. Or at least in the books I’ve read.) But hey, he likes Sondre Lerche!
McSweeney’s imagines what an Anne Geddes baby might be like as an adult. Anne Geddes jokes never get tiresome.
New York Times film critics Manohla Dargis likes to swear a lot. I still don’t know if I want to see The Hurt Locker. I’m still reeling all these years later by how stupid Strange Days was; I also don’t know how I feel about everybody being like “this movie is awesome, a woman directed it!” when Kathryn Bigelow’s been making very well-known (if not exactly well-respected) movies for twenty years now.
And, oh yeah, Publishers Weekly made a pun this week.
Gray hair is a trend? I wouldn’t mind that, actually, especially if it distracted people from the emergent Navajo sweater craze.
I wish more news stories used the word statuette.
Jesse Corcoran’s Olympic frowny faces, located on the side of a Vancouver gallery, were censored after someone allegedly complained about it being graffiti.
And here’s three stories I covered for Carnal Nation:
Reality TV creeps me out in all kinds of different ways, but the most extreme example of why can be found in this story about a gay porn star choking to death while police shot him with a taser and a TV crew filmed the whole thing.
I meant to post about this last week, but the prostitutes of Copenhagen are offering free services to anyone with a pass from the global climate summit; prostitution is legal in Denmark, but the mayor sent postcards to hotels asking employees not to hook up climate summit attendees with escorts. The postcard actually said “Be Sustainable: Don’t Buy Sex!“ In English, too, that’s not just a weird translation from the Danish or anything.
Finally, Time thinks that Advocate readers are all porn-crazy sluts that want nothing more than to stick their dicks into the nearest inflatable person.
