Do you know why I post dumb silly stories about stuff like Hello Kitty or Fifty Shades of Grey? I like to think of them as palate cleansers. Nice, innocuous little tidbits to break of the monotony of me always ranting about racism or sexism or classism. Keeps me sane. Anyway, back to normal. Everytime I…

Goodbye Kitty, Hello $$$!
by mav • • 26 Comments
Seriously, Sanrio are marketing geniuses. Have you been on the internet the last coupe of days? “Oh my god! What do you mean Hello Kitty is a human girl and not a cat?!?!? Forget Gaza! Forget Robin Williams! Fuck the Ice Bucket Challenge! This is an outrage! I’m calling my congressman! Someone get Liam Neeson…

“I’ll kick you out of my SCHOOL if you don’t cut that hair”
by mav • • 13 Comments
(apologies to the Beastie Boys) Seriously, do people who have dumb rules even hear themselves when they’re talking? I mean, I say horrible, inflammatory stuff all the time. I wear T-shirts with slogans on it. But I know I’m doing it. So according to the internets (which you know, never lie and stuff), there is this…

Playboy’s When to Catcall Flowchart
by mav • • 12 Comments
This is pretty dumb but amusing. Playboy made a “When you should catcall” flowchart. I actually love that in a world of sex-positive feminism, Playboy is making a dedicated effort to stay current with the times. As for the chart, it’s corny, but amusing. I am now officially in need of a cadre of attractive…

Gay Men reading 50 Shades of Grey
by mav • • 4 Comments
I want to issue a very sincere public thank you to Amber Love and through her the Huffington Post, for showing me what is clearly the best thing on the internet ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLMkdeeOsYTkONEQeaBxqH1ZVtAIfwBw2H&v=zZTSxQIxsiA#t=444 I’ve enjoyed reading since I was about two years old. 38 years. It’s been a good run. Well it’s over now. I…

on the ALS Ice Water Challenge
by mav • • 22 Comments
Confessions of an insomniac. These are the things I think about at 3am. I saw someone on Facebook innocuously ask earlier “exactly how does dumping ice water on your head help people with Lou Gehrig’s disease?” and I therein realized a small flaw in the whole life-meme thing. It’s sort of just become like a thing now.…

Kari Byron in FHM ©2006 In the future, all celebrities will be interactively programmed by twitter group think! This future will be a wonderful magical place! In the mean time, I’m kinda curious about something that I noticed on Twitter earlier tonight. And it has to do with Mythbusters and Kari Byron,…

Juggs for Jesus
by mav • • 3 Comments
Heh, this is pretty great… Maybe the best #FreeTheNipple story I’ve heard. If you’re too lazy to read the link (which is mostly a video), basically: there’s a church (New Beginnings Ministry) in Warsaw, OH that is apparently down the street from a Strip Club (Foxhole North). Chruchgoers have been protesting in front of the…

Models: Holly & Nikki ©2008, ChrisMaverick Forget gay marriage. That is so 2013! We have now truly reached sexual equality because Cosmopolitan has acknowledged the existence of lesbians and their need to have really benign sex tips written especially for them! Finally we have reached equality! Thank you Cosmo! Hilariously, Samantha…

Dear Caucasian Friends, Have you ever said to yourself “hey, if only there were a map that I could load onto my phone that told me where all the negroes were so that I could walk the streets without ever accidentally running into one. I would feel so much safer!” Well, THESE PEOPLE have you covered.…
