You probably think that you’re pretty tough, that you can take any pain life throws at you, that you can withstand any torment through the force of sheer will alone. Well, listen up maggots: until you’re ready to crawl through shards of ice, swim through an ocean of mud, leap through flames, wriggle under barbed fire, and scale an electrified fence, you’re nothing.
More than 5,000 hard-as-nails competitors recently proved to the world they weren’t girly men at England’s Tough Guy competition. We expect to see you there next year. From the stands.
You drink at the hippest bars, stay at the swankiest hotels, and shop at the hottest stores – naturally, you check-in with location broadcasting network app Foursquare to let the whole world know just how great your life is. Now you can earn a badge that confirms what your friends have been trying to tell you for years: you’re a douchebag.
Foursquare’s new douchebag badge follows in a line of equally commendable accomplishments: the “Player Please!” badge (checking in with 3 members of the opposite sex) and the “Crunked” badge (4 stops in one night). We’ll suggest the next badge: DailyXY’s 72-Hour Weekend Warrior (hit all our best of the city suggestions). Don’t fight it: embrace your inner douchebag.
The shocking truth is out: men aren’t comfortable with big breasts. When it comes to their own bodies at least. Male breast reduction surgery is up 80 percent since 2008 in Britain. Citing the pressure of men’s magazines (the source of all social ills, no doubt) to suggest an impossible male physique, some patients feel there’s just no way to get rid of the “man-boobs” (or “moobs”) without going under the knife.
Is this going too far? What do you think about the trend?
It’s safe to say that 77-year-old Austrian businessman Richard Lugner isn’t convinced money doesn’t buy happiness. Seen with an endless chain of starlets on his arm, including Paris Hilton, Geri Halliwell, and Carmen Electra, he seems pretty pleased with himself. His latest date: Lindsay Lohan. And all it took was $160,000, and promise to lay off the alcohol. Scraping together the money is one thing, but staying sober while Ms. Lohan complains about her insurance premiums might be too much to ask.
There’s little doubt American Apparel has a penchant for celebrating the human form (celebrations: NSFW). Now the clothing company is harnessing the awesome power of social media to find the world’s most exquisite derriere. Users are asked to submit their best posterior pic to the site, where judges will enter into weeks of ponderous deliberation to decide on a winner.
The comments give us some indication of the somber judgment at work:
“WOW NICE JUNK”
“OH SWEET JESUS”
“DAAAAAAAAAMN”
