It has come to our attention that the United States Supreme Court is of the opinion that corporations should be enjoying “free speech” rights, but only as far as contributing to political candidates and causes. It is perhaps an unsurprising turn of events, since corporations have been growing more and more inhuman (and therefore...
Daily Doldrums
The Toilet Saga
There’s nothing we like better than a well-written book, and there is nothing like a well-written book inside the runaway bestselling ode to chastity and the most boring girlfriend in the world known as Twilight, by some weepy-eyed hack living out her teenaged girl fantasies writing sloppy, one-dimensional dreck. We have to hand it...
Unconfirmed Rumors
Stevebot is cheap, because only the head and hands need to be "human," everything else is covered up with denim and black turtlenecks.

What Drug Does One Take to Recover From Prescription Drug Commercials?
So the drug manufacturer, thinking either "Now we can help all those poor, unfortunate bald eyelid sufferers" or, more likely, "Now we can rake in more dough with a narrowly-defined drug by making women ashamed of yet another physical feature which has no actual bearing on their health or happiness!" (the latter, we're guessing)...
24-Hour Party People
Having problems because you're rich? We'll take all that filthy lucre off your hands and spend it wisely on things like shoes, fresh flowers, indoor hot tubs and wall-to-wall shag. Because frankly, old white dudes, we're feeling about as sorry for you as we do for... someone we couldn't give a rat's ass about.
