This list may inspire controversy, but so did they! Also, I only left Putin off the list cause he is still nightmarishly trending! 1. William “Boss” Tweed Boss Tweed, the Tammany Hall scoundrel, reportedly stole between $40 and $200 million from the taxpayers of New […]
I’ve got a thing for guys’ hands. I think they often indicate what a guy’s dick looks like – how long and thick the fingers are, and the shape, size, and sturdiness of the hands. I once told this to my friend Duncan, who’s gay, […]
WARNING: THERE BE SPOILERS!l Last week was ridiculous. Three out of my five favorite TV shows didn’t air, and the two that did left me in romantic turmoil (my emotions!), and I don’t so much enjoy when television gets to me (especially when it’s not […]
There comes a time in every man’s life when he will need to cross over from mere man to being a gentleman. When this time comes, there will be a few things that will be the qualifying factor that will differentiate this mere man from […]
If every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then our uncontrollable consumerist society is to thank for the well intentioned, though sometimes misguided, fad of minimalism. We know how we got here. Numerous and valuable possessions have forever been symbols of wealth and status, […]
While some of us might have issues with the use of condoms in porn, there’s a lot to be said about the benefits of prophylactics in our personal lives. The main upsides (preventing STDs, avoiding unwanted pregnancies) are well documented, and yet millions of people […]
In Part 3 on a four part series looking at corruption in sport, Henry Vespa looks at how the money involved in major sporting events can end up subverting the law of the land… Aside from the corruption (sorry, “alleged” corruption) that sees large amounts of […]
Phishing scams on the Internet are not new, but this time a potentially highly dangerous scam targeting Google Docs and Drive users is making its rounds on the Internet. Like most phishing scams, this one starts in your inbox with an email titled, “Documents”. This […]

If you don’t do it right, sci-fi will utterly, utterly suck, as this little lot proves. Just don’t expect Zardoz on here because it is better than a perfect film. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) Wasn’t the world satisfied with one of these cinematic disasters? […]
Her hand shakes slightly as she picks up the receiver. Her mouth is dry. A woman answers. Her voice is low and husky. “Hello” she says. “How can I help you?” “I want you to masturbate for me,” the woman making the call whispers. “Okay,” […]
This is the stuff my fantasies are made of. Who hasn’t had the fantasy of checking his bank account and finding an extra US$31,000 in it? Well this teen had this fantasy become a reality, and he certainly didn’t waste any time with it either. […]

I’m a dude, so my experience with bachelorette parties has been mostly as a bystander in a club or a bar. Regardless of my limited exposure to them, one thing that’s been abundantly clear is that penis-shaped paraphernalia is a crowd favorite and a staple […]
Some movies just sound bad before you even know what they’re about. For one or another reason, some idiot sometimes has the final word when picking a terrible movie title. This is a list of film titles that make you wonder if the naysayers at […]
So perhaps this isn’t an app for the apocalypse, and more perhaps an app to be able to chat freely, off the grid. I don’t care. This is already downloaded, locked and loaded on my phone. Everyone I know has to get it, you know, […]
So, as I explained last week, there are two TV shows called Fullmetal Alchemist, born out of the strange system that is Japanese broadcasting. The stories begin the same, both spawned from the same manga, but diverge about a third of the way through. One […]
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of celebrities come out against circumcision. Most recently, Alan Cumming has raged against the snip. He compares it to “genital mutilation.” Being circumcised myself, I would hardly compare it to that. It’s glaringly inaccurate to make that comparison. Genital […]
René Magritte: Mysteries of the Ordinary, 1926-1938 The Menil Collection, Houston, February 14-June 1, 2014 The Art Institute of Chicago, June 25-October 12, 2014 Going to see the Magritte show seemed, along with being fun, a welcome dose of the pleasurably familiar: The mighty giant […]
