Norwegian Boss Makes Female Employees Wear Red Bracelets When They’re On the Rag
In America, those would look like Kabbalah bracelets. But apparently, in Norway, they’re required at one company so that a male boss will understand why certain female employees are using the bathroom more often. More »
Gallery: Hostess Gifts For Under $15
Oh, Vogue. How you misunderstand everyone in the world who doesn’t live in a five-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. How you tailor your columns and articles to people whose lives make no sense whatsoever — no sense given the current economy, no sense given any economy, no sense given basic decency. And that’s why you run articles like “Hostess Gifts for Under $100.” More »

‘The A List’ Recap: The Gays Say Goodbye (For Now)
The A-List has finally come to an end. For real this time. And though it was only nine episodes long, I can confidently say it was enough. It was enough time to allow fake relationships to be forged (since these people would never have known each other if it weren’t for central casting), producer-contrived plot lines to play out (that, as it turned out, were kind of lame), and viewers to make snap judgments (which was basically my job for the last two months). I am guessing it was also enough time to assume that this show won’t be winning any awards. So, in the spirit of the season, I’m going to take this opportunity to bestow superlatives upon the first – and, depending on ratings, possibly the only – members of The A-List. More »
