Trend de la Crème
Image: TheOnion.comI love The Onion, but not when it comes to my darling Karl Lagerfeld! If anything, Photoshop him wearing a French lace lobster bib. (I mean, c'mon. Mucking up that telltale collar is bad enough, but pairing it with plastic is practically sacrilege!)Trend de la Crème...
And Something For Your Hipster Pet...
Image: LAWeekly.comElevated pet bowls made from skateboards! How sweet is that? Now all my girls need are some doggy VANS and we're good to go. One will run you $100, but you will undoubtedly have the coolest pets on the block (unless they're already the coolest pets on...
Okay, because all y'all begged for one more post before April, here goes.You might remember my sticky pink fingers post from January where I told Audrey Kitching that she sucked major pink ass for ripping content off my site. It was picked up by StickyDrama.com and, not surprisingly, some people...
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome." - Steve Zissou, The Life AquaticWelcome aboard,...
Slightly battered and bruised, we all managed to survive fashion week in all its enormity. And, while I typically like to poke fun at the worst, here are some of the best trends for fall 2010 -- from makeup and hair, to editor favorites. (There is even some...
Why Post It When You Can Finger It?
Finger It Notes? Really!? I'd like to believe this was Korea's way of telling us to stick it where the sun don't shine, but my gut tells my it's more of an "Engrish" faux pas. These finger shaped post-it notes feature a myriad of faces expressing love, frustration, happiness,...

It all started with The Root. The staff constructed a somewhat comical list of black folks they’d like to erase from black history. (Think Flavor Flav, Marion Barry, and The Apprentice’s Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.) Okay, I thought, we can toast to that. Then came John McWhorter, the conservative scholar and author, who...
Waste` (wash-tay) Chicago; Omaha no good
In 1952 the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a subsidiary of the U. S. Department of the Interior, initiated a program for Indians living on reservations that sounded a heck of a lot like a pogrom used in Nazi Germany during World War II. America’s “pogrom” was called the “Urban Indian...
Want to know what’s wrong with the War on Drugs?
By Madhuri Mohindar and Ishita Srivastava It’s the first time that 1 in every 100 adult Americans is in prison, proof of an exploding prison system that our country can ill afford and a movement away from rehabilitation programs. Even more disturbing are the racial disparities within the...

Star Wars and Peanuts Fruit Snacks !!!
“Kids Classics” is right! Though I love them, I don’t pay much attention to fruit snacks these days but when I saw boxes of Star Wars and Peanuts fruit snacks I had to have them. They called out to me and I don’t know why, but I just got a...
Whitman’s Marshmallow Egg: GOAT Easter Candy?
In the last year or so, it’s been really had to stay away from candy while trying to cut back on junk food. More or less, I succeed, but when you work in retail and you have to stare at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter candy for half the...
Old Time Radio Favorites: The Shadow
Last month I discussed The Adventures of Superman now it’s time to tackle yet another old time radio show that featured a hero… The Shadow 1937-1954 Mutual The Shadow featured a superhero of a different breed. The character wasn’t all smiles and handshakes like Superman and his show wasn’t really for young listeners either....
Farley’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fruit snacks were awesome.
The Turtles were all over the place in the early ’90s. You couldn’t walk into a Kay Bee toy store or supermarket without seeing their faces and logo plastered all over some type of product. As far as food tie-ins go, other than Pizza-Crunchabungas and TMNT cereal, Farley’s TMNT fruit...
Verizon’s “Big Red” and Wrigley’s Big Red
I came across that commercial while streaming on Hulu and thought it was pretty funny. I immediately recognized the tune and knew it was from the 1980s, but I couldn’t place the product. Then it hit me — “…with Big Redddddddddd!!!!” Here’s the original jingle (obviously the lyrics are different) in...
