How often do we think to ourselves, ‘Is it just me?’ Finding out there are 100,000 other American students out there who feel the same is comforting. A little romance has never killed anyone, right? Can you believe that nearly 40% of women out there […]

Saturday, June 7, 2014. 7:45 a.m. It’s the morning of the race and everybody is very, very tense. The whole energetic. joyful fun-in-the-sun vibe that has surrounded everything has evaporated. It’s not so much quiet outside Team BaDoink’s hotel as muted. It’s got nothing to […]
Look, I never expected to like Game of Thrones. “What?!” You might ask yourself in full indignation, “It’s the best show on television right now!” And I agree. Ever since Walter White bled peacefully on the lab floor to the tune of Badfinger’s ‘Baby Blue’, […]
This is it lads. It begins. Winter might be coming in George R. R. Martin’s world, but the FIFA World Cup is already here. Whether or not Brazil is ready, the games must go on. Are you excited? I am. I still remember four years […]
After the smashing success of Behind the Green Door, and the more than adequate box-office response of the Mitchell Brothers follow-up Resurrection of Eve, Marilyn Chambers was unquestionably one of the biggest names in the adult industry. The respect these movies inspired within the ‘porno […]
I like weird. And I like cinema. So no great surprise that I enjoy oddball, crazy, mess-with-your-head movies. Don’t get me wrong, I like all flavours of film and am perfectly capable of sitting down to the latest Hollywood blockbuster. But it’s that “WTF?” moment […]
Last year, Tom Berninger, the younger of brother of The National’s lead singer Matt Berninger, premiered a documentary about the band at the Tribeca Film Festival, and since then it has gone on to win favorable reviews and enjoy much success. A surprisingly lovable rock […]
Friday, June 6, 2014. 9 p.m. So, burnt crispy critter that I am, I’m grateful to get away from the other media guys who are still drinking liquor they’ve transferred to water bottles to bring in past building security. Truth be told, the ra-ra stuff […]
Barry Gibb, The Mythology Tour: Live At The United Center, Chicago, Tuesday May 27, 2014… Morbidity and pure joyous pop! You could sense it in the air at Chicago’s United Center. Barry Gibb, touring the world solo for the first time in his career after the […]
As with so many things, the answer is: depends on the situation. Recently pop star Rihanna made headlines with her sparkling champagne-colored gown that revealed little to the imagination: her nipples were visible, though she did wear panties below. There was quite the brouhaha over […]
Mother Earth “Endless River” – Kolsch style ale – 4.9% ABV – IBU 25 (my best guess) Until consuming “Endless River” for this review I had never tried drinking a finely crafted beer straight from the bottle. I often find myself shyly reminding servers at restaurants to furnish […]
Electronic Frontier Foundation: The Privacy Badger Chrome & Firefox Free Wouldn’t it be fantastic if Internet users could tell the websites they visit that they don’t want to be tracked by advertising groups unrelated to the webpage they’re viewing? In fact, since 2009, a number […]
Yesterday I finally got around to reading Miracleman, the ‘long lost’ comic book by Alan Moore. It’s been out for a year or so (hell, it’s been out for years but only recently – due to legal issues – has it been available via routes […]
Friday June 7, 2014. 5 p.m. I’m red and I’m sore. I’ve been out glad-handing like a politician. Passing out hundreds of Badoink.io bumper stickers, following the racer registration until it turned into a parade. Sunscreen will only work for so long and I am […]
Given the history of this website, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that if you’re reading this here at Badoink.io, you’re probably not a stranger to porn. If you’re a regular porn user, chances are volume has been a concern at […]

Germany is looking an extremely fluent outfit. Their last friendly may have come up against minnows, Armenia, with a possible hint of match fixing thrown in there, but at the end of the day they still stuck six past them. The fact that they should […]
