If you liked the You vs. Y'all map, you'll love the Douchebags of the US map. I guess I'm a Northeastern Non-Douchebag, but really I'm just a Saguar-Bro at heart.
Culture Buzz Douchebags finally unite and stand up for themselves. Watch this heartwarming short, then go find a douchebag you know and give him a great big hug. (Via.)
Culture Buzz Aspen and Wendy are effete straight dudes (from new and old money, respectively) livin' the life of the young, rich, and atrocious in L.A. Wait for the scene at the club to understand why *some* of us prefer quiet nights at home. Ahem.
Celebrity Buzz Take one part Gotti Bros. one part Jon Gosselin, sprinkle in a date rape, and you've got Bobby Bottleservice, comedian Nick Kroll's top notch d'bag character creation. This brings back vivid memories of my classmates at Long Island's Acqua di Gio Nightmare High. No, seriously.
Celebrity Buzz After selling his soul to TLC in exchange for hair plugs, Superdad Jon Gosselin will be helping design “fun, easy clothes” for kids under fashion label Ed Hardy, often worn by people you'd rather not talk to out loud. Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl about Kate Gosselin's being tapped to help promote a line of coonskin caps, meant to be highlighted and worn backwards (cuuuuuz that's what her hair looks like, you guys).
Politics Buzz The latest from Sarah Palin's hometown newspaper in Wasilla. This little thinkpiece is by one Pastor Ron Hamman of the Independent Baptist Church of Wasilla, and if you enjoy things like logic and thoughtful arguments, I think you'll find it very persuasive.
Man, everyone shops at American Apparel now. Credit where credit is due: those guys are the Original Gangstas of ironic beards.
Elizabeth's blog only has one item: a scanned copy of the bill her ex-boyfriend gave her when they broke up, detailing everything he spent on her for the past year and a half. The only thing sadder than someone billing you for the Valentine's Day gift they gave you is realizing that you dated them for over a year.
A Tumblr blog featuring some funny and horrid sex stories with douchebaggy dudes, complete with photos! It's kind of like the dontdatehimgirl.com for hipsters, judging by the look of these scrubs.
Science Buzz In an attempt to be awful and support environmental collapse, the fashion house is creating “the world’s first refrigerated beach” at the Palazzo Versace Hotel in Dubai. Said the hotel's president, “We will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on [because] this is the kind of luxury that top people want.” You hear that, Top People? Amid economic crises and the global warming epidemic, the world's douchiest resort will soon be at your very fingertips!
Gawker is an internet magazine catering to the “urban hater demographic.” Here is an image they posted creatively mapping the the world's douchebags on a subway map. Is it better to be a hater or a douchbag?
Music Buzz One-time Eminem collaborator Trick Trick is making news this week with his announcement to AllHipHop.com that he doesn't want gay people buying his new album. Trick Trick personally called out gay celebrities Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, saying that he was going to send a “scud missile right through their f**king cruise ship.” No word yet on whether heterosexual people have any plans to buy Trick Trick's lousy album either.
Politics Buzz While Americans welcomed their first black president with open arms, it seems they’re still not down with the gays getting, y’know, equal rights and stuff. You’d have thought that the country’s favorite talk show host could have at least warmed California over, for goodness’ sake.
Politics Buzz CBS reporter Dean Reynolds is complaining about how bad it is to be on the campaign trail with Obama, what with the unpredictable schedule and a plane that “smells terrible most of the time.” He also openly pines for the days of covering McCain, with his handy bound itineraries and clean plane.
Sports Buzz After 8 golds, the internet begins wondering: Is Michael Phelps a douchebag? All he does is eat, sleep, and swim, but he still leaves just a little bit of time to be a douche.
Everything you thought you knew about the New Jersey shore was completely true. It’s like a little United Nations filled with thick necks, popped collars, unsightly sunburn, and stupid, stupid people from Bayonne to Bergen County (and beyond!). Also, I thought Andre The Giant was dead. Turns out he’s been in Jersey this whole time, working as a “f*cking lumberjack.” [Note: If you watch any of this, make sure you start at 5:50]
Tech Buzz Mojo HD’s series about financial investors is the most downloaded reality show on iTunes. It seems a lot of people want to know if the guys and girls of the finance world are, in fact, all about working hard and playing harder. (And being greedy d-bags.)
TV Buzz The 26-year-old replacement for Roger Ebert is being called a hack. He partied in high school with Ivanka Trump. He plays golf. His show on E! was actually called “The Lyon’s Den.” His daddy got him his job. I think it’s pretty safe to go ahead and hate him before “At the Movies” premieres with its new hosts on September 6th.
