The Hour Badly Spent

Writers behave badly.

An hour badly spent: goths & glowey-things

with one comment

I might as well come clean about this: it’s well and good that I comb the webz to find fun stuff for you to read, but really this is all just linkbait – an excuse to say things like BOOBS UPSKIRT WEBCAM HOT HOT SEX FETISH just to get more incoming traffic from Google. There, that should do the trick. Everyone else, please enjoy!

  • Support your local titty bar! She hasn’t seen you in, like, forever. She misses you. She’s hurting. Was it something she said? [via The Awl]
  • Wtf is with all the prudery over this Burger King ad? My fast food should promise more blow jobs, not less. [via Copyranter]
  • Modern technology to smoking ban: “fuck off.” [The New York Times]
  • Some of you may be far too young and emo to know what a “goth” is. For the rest of us, Gothsinhotweather is exactly what it sounds like, but more delicious.
  • Emily Gould’s latest advice column: "Let’s quickly run down a list of bad reasons to get married:"
    [The Awl]
  • Jonathan Chait’s short, sweet takedown of gay marriage opponents: "The most striking thing about anti-gay-marriage arguments is that they dwell exclusively on how heterosexuals would be affected. Heather Mac Donald of the conservative Manhattan Institute writes, "I fear that it will be harder than usual to persuade black men of the obligation to marry the mother of their children if the inevitable media saturation coverage associates marriage with homosexuals."
    I suppose you could imagine, somewhere, a black man telling his friends he’s going to propose to his pregnant girlfriend, only to be taunted, "Marriage? That’s so gay," and think better of it." [The New Republic]
  • Ever wonder why so many parents use photos of their children in profile photos? Even if you’re like me and you didn’t, Allison Benedikt’s got some insight: “It’s actually because I want all the people I grew up with to see how much cuter my kid is than theirs. Also, now I do it to annoy people like you.” [The Village Voice]
  • Crass consumerism to get even more annoying: now there is a phone that glows the colour of your mood. Maybe it could also update your MySpace status automatically! What could be even more fun? Maybe a bracelet/lie detector? I’ll get right on that. [New Scientist]
