I don't even know what to say...and that's rare.

For the record, I don't believe there are ANY good ways to use rhinestones. And this, ladies, is definitely not an exception.

I guess if it makes someone feel good...but aren't there less, you know, shiny ways?

A Special Place in Hell

I'm not sure I feel sorry for the 5000 people that got kicked off of the site Beautiful People. I mean, it is, after all, the most shallow dating site I've ever seen...even worse than SugarDaddie.com ("where the classy, attractive, and affluent people meet), and that's saying something pretty profound. Of course, the latter got rid of the "I Am A: Sugar Daddy searching for a: Perfect Princess" thing, which helps.

But still...kicking people off of a site right after the holidays? That's cold. I'm sure there's a special place in hell for the creators of these sites, and another, slightly less special place for the people that use them. At least I hope so.

It's a Mormon World

Well, we all know what everyone thinks about when they think "Mormon." Sex. Sex sex sex sex sex. Not just sex...muffin sex. It's good to know that the Mormon community has finally hired an advertising/PR firm with enough sense to capitalize on that crucial association. After all....what's a church without hot steamy commercials to stir up the faith? Or, as they put it, get "a rise" out of you?

T & A & Red America

This is a fascinating story about how the states with the most anti-sex rhetoric in schools (and in legislature) are actually the states with the highest rate of pornography consumption. Not too surprising, to tell you the truth, but crazy nonetheless. Two things come to mind: one, that pornography is our biggest (illegal) export, and makes the U.S. billions of dollars a year. Two, that although conservative and reactionary interests always say they're hard on sex (no pun intended), they seem to have the most sex scandals. Hmmmm....

Broccolli sex? Seriously?

What has PETA come to? I mean, what happened to the good ol' days of throwing fake blood on fur coats?

Although you've got to love that NBC censored these advertisements. Actually, there's a big history of ads being censored by the superbowl networks, particularly political or protest ads. MoveOn.org and adbusters both have had several ads rejected, and for no cause other than that they are "too political." I prefer the sex with vegetables angle, though.
