“Nobody likes you when you’re 23” – Blink 182 #NODISRESPECTTOBLINK182 but, by 23, you’ve (hopefully) found your core group of friends. The friends that have been there for every birthday, every break-up, and every night spent sleeping on the bathroom floor (see also: the pavement and in between your ex’s sheets). The friends, childhood or college, that you know will be there for life and will likely give some sort of embarrassing speech or break a glass at your wedding. Unless you’re an asshole, chances are there’s at least fiveRead More

20 Ice Bucket Challenge Alternatives

The Ice Bucket Challenge is supposed to be an awareness and fundraising campaign for the fight against ALS where people either donate $100 to the ALS Association, or dump an ice cold bucket of water on their heads and then donate $10 to the ALS Association. Then they get to challenge three other people to do one of those two things. Many uninformed people are just dumping a bucket of ice on their heads and then challenging other people to do the same, which doesn’t do a whole hell ofRead More

10 Decent-Paying but Seriously Weird Jobs

The other day while I was laying in bed with a bowl of coffee, my favorite KTLA news reporter said something that semi-grabbed my attention.  She said, “blah blah blah professional eater blah blah blah.”  Professional eater?  My eyes had been opened and it wasn’t the coffee this time.  If there was a job title like that out there in the open, what else was there?  As someone who is clearly looking for another job, I had to investigate further.  Listed below are ten of the least talked about jobs in theRead More

What are some of the most popular video games of all time?

The 5 Stupidest Advertising Campaigns Around Today

The only theory I can come up with is that Cialis leads to premature ejaculation and gives you a whole different list of sexual problems. Bummer.       #4:Read More

The Problem With Open World Gaming

I am a lifelong gamer. I have been interested in video games since I was 5 years old and I have been following and playing video games on all systems for the last twenty years. My favorite genre of game, in all that time has been role-playing and adventure games. These games allow a player to assume the role of a hero or important figure who then spends a long time growing and affecting the world in the game. In the last decade or so, this genre of gaming hasRead More

Dirty Bird Fried Chicken Gives Its Consumers the Shaft

Take a long, hard look at this design and tell me what you see.  Is it the innocent image of a rooster, or do you get a throbbing feeling that the designer had something a little more phallic in mind?  That’s the source of the blowback directed at catering company Dirty Bird Fried Chicken for their controversial new logo. According to graphic artist Mark James, the man behind the cockerel, the image is nothing more than a barnyard bird. “We were given the name Dirty Bird as the brief, and startedRead More

Why the Ice Bucket Challenge is Stupid

It’s absurd how fast things can spread around the Internet. Before someone cries and whines about how ALS is marginalized or whatever, hear me out. I think donating money to research ALS is awesome. Dumping an ice bucket over your head, not so awesome. Here is why: (like always, a short list for all the Attention Deficit people out there…so basically everyone).   It’s Narcissistic Yay! You got 75 likes because you participated. Now everyone will think you’re such a good person for doing that. I bet you got butterfliesRead More
