Three’s A Crowd, Especially On YouTube

Ah! The Internet! Not only has the World Wide Web made this world a little smaller, technology has also presented each of us with many an opportunity to say, "Thank God I'm not them." Case in point: The goof who decided to send a video introducing himself to his fiancée's best friend and broaching the delicate topic of having a three-way. And unwittingly posted it ...

Unintentionally Hilarious Moments in Hair Metal Video History

I make no bones about the fact that I love the hair bands of the '80s. Yes, I know it's cheesy and "uncool" to claim allegiance to the memory of a time when dudes used more Aqua Net in a five-year span than I will use in a lifetime. Although I still find myself rokken to Dokken with greater frequency than most, sometimes, you can’t just ...

"Dear Severus Snape, With my pretend boyfriend Damon from "The Vampire Diaries" away and off TV for now, I was wondering if you would like to renew our pretend courtship for the summer?

Sure, ...

No. I'm going to miss my boyfriend. My pretend boyfriend, to be exact. I have a real boyfriend, mind you. The same one for 13 years. We get along great and enjoy one another's company. I don't have ...

Centaurs: Hot or Not? Yay or Neigh?

This weekend, I was kicking back and watching TV with my boyfriend when a commercial featuring a showering centaur shilling for Old Spice popped on the tube. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06TBhGrzyN4] Asking a perfectly, normal, rational question, my significant other posed to me a conundrum stemming from the commercial regarding the implications of interspecial attraction and ensuing relations: “Do chicks find centaurs attractive?” I paused to think for a moment. I couldn’t ...

Porno Parody Title Fun!

Porn! It's all the rage this season!  When the economy is lagging, if there's one thing that serves as a port of comfort, it's the mass-telegraphed act of two or more people (and sometimes animals) bumping uglies on film. Just this past week, the King of Porn (and one of my personal heroes in the realm of free speech), Larry Flynt put out a call on ...
