Monday Morning Cheap Thrills
We’ve seen it before. Truth is, the one night stand joke never ceases to amuse us, so when we saw this on FailBlog, we just had to share:
We’ve seen it before. Truth is, the one night stand joke never ceases to amuse us, so when we saw this on FailBlog, we just had to share:
And because we can’t seem to get enough abuse, here’s WiseMuv, a new site that — if it catches — is bound to make everyone just a little more bitter and annoyed than usual. Yay!
No, seriously, this is insane. But what do we know, some of you people love to go Facebook official and some couples even dig fighting in “public” (i.e., on Facebook walls), so maybe you’ll be into this. … Continue Reading
OK, so the title is a lie. Facebook is still pulling off pics like it’s no big thing, even when they’re friends-only. However, the SF Weekly has reported some really lolsy activity we can’t resist but want to share with you. Get a load of this captcha (for those who don’t know, a “captcha” is a simple test used on a lot of sites to make sure comments or links aren’t being posted by a computer, or bot):
We like it, Zucker!

It was a typical day for our editrix of hacking through the contents of her inbox to try to get some sense of what the week would look like. Suddenly, a notification from Facebook — she’d been tagged in a photo! Always the narcissist, or perhaps always aware of the tinge on her conscience, she clicked immediately.
It was one of those square bingo-looking grids, the ones where each square has a descriptor and people tag their friends on them accordingly. Our editrix had been tagged as “has the prettiest eyes.” She was immediately conflicted — this looks fun, but who past the age of 13 does this sort of thing? Clearly, we need a more “adult” version to override the silliness of it all. Feel free to take it and unleash havoc on your own friends’ walls. … Continue Reading
Cheaters. Love them or hate them, at the end of the day, they’re the ones having the cake and eating it, too, when many of you are still outside the veritable smorgasbord looking for a parking space. While we can’t get you some ass, we can at least provide access to cheaters’ sleazy shenanigans. Introducing CheatConfession.
Not only can you see the naughty tales of cheaters from around the English-speaking webs, you can also check on the stories of woe from people who have been cheated on and read about people thinking about cheating. You can also judge them! Tell cheaters if it was justified, tell those who were wronged how much their sitch sucks, and help potential cheaters decide! … Continue Reading
Earlier this month, the site CougarLife.com, which connects older women with younger men, got a bit of a nasty shock from Google. The search engine giant, which was receiving $100,000 a month from CougarLife to manage its advertising and place it on content pages, told CougarLife that its ads, which had been appearing since October, would no longer be accepted. The reason? Cougar sites are not “family safe.”
CougarLife suggested placing a different ad: instead of one picturing older women and younger men together, they proposed an image of the company’s president, Claudia Opdenkelder, 39, without a man in the picture. … Continue Reading
Typical late night, sniffing around the boards, checking the networks. There’s nothing good on the intertubes. Then, a typical e-stalking session leads us down a strange corridor to a place we never thought we’d have to venture: the Minion’s lair.
He loves food, he loves girls and he’s built a site around being the lump of flesh every girl who wants to make it in porn has to fuck. He’s ThisIsWhyYou’reFat gone Xtube — and it’s neither sexy nor lulz, but still impossible to look away. … Continue Reading
As you know, Facebook and our editrix have a pretty turbulent relationship, mostly relating to Facebook’s strong dislike for her penchant to overshare slutty images of herself.
You can imagine how amused we were then when we saw Dan Zarrella’s data regarding what users are sharing on the social network.
Zarrella applied two linguistic algorithms (the same ones used on the popular site TweetPsych that tell you what your content is mostly about on Twitter) and he found, based on the articles in his dataset, that more articles are shared with sexual references in their titles.
“Additionally,” the award-winning social media and viral marketing scientist notes, “positivity is more shared than negativity.”
So if you want your stuff shared on Facebook, he suggests: try to write positively about sex!

Why surf Craigslist’s text ads when you can be amused by a mini web series? Introducing your favorite new productivity killer: Craigslist TV, a new series that follows Craigslist users as they use the site to make things happen.
Any Los Angeles user that has checked out the classifieds site in the past couple of months has noticed the opt-in box at the bottom of the ad-submit form:
The first time our editrix saw it, we overheard her moan, “God, that’s so L.A. You can’t even try to arrange a nooner without an eight man film crew…” Ain’t that the truth?
To our knowledge, she has not participated in any episodes.
This first season has 14 episodes, released weekly via YouTube. Each webisode is filmed and directed by Drew Brown of Brownstone Entertainment, of Project Runway, This American Life and Top Chef fame. Watch! It’s super lolsy.
Hey, your agent hasn’t called you in weeks. Go get them, star!
You don’t have to add “in bed” to the end of the fortune in the cookie any longer.
Introducing Spam Fortune Cookies — and no, they’re not made out of SPAM. Allow them to explain themselves for your benefit:
A wise man once said: ‘The best advice you can get is the advice you don’t want to hear.’ If that’s true, then the more unwanted it is, the better it must be — right? So, logically, unsolicited bulk email messages must contain the greatest advice of all time. Combine this flawless reasoning with a delicious after-dinner cookie and you have a source advice unmatched by anything else in the world.
Every $9.00 package contains 20 cookies, each with some insane spammy message the likes of which you haven’t seen since you upgraded your spam filters.
You will be amused.
