Ah, the perils of dating the "assertive" man
This is a phone message from perhaps the douchiest dude in the world. Yet, why does it sound so damn familiar?
"The back story on this is that a girl named Olga was out with her friends in the Marina district of San Francisco (known for being a popular hang out for douches), and she talked to this guy named Dmitri for all of two minutes. Then she gave him her card and said 'give me a call.' The above is the messages he left. Listen to the whole thing, it just keeps getting better and better. I won’t even tell you my favorite parts because i don’t want to ruin anything. Just listen."--Holytaco

If you thought the Ebay bride was nuts, wait til you hear about Deven Trabosh, who brings new meaning to the term, "putting yourself out there."

Ever wonder which nation's good citizens are having the most sex? Eh, me neither, until I saw the results of this new Durex study, which, after polling 26,000 people in 26 different countries, shows us just that.
I thought that the puritanical by many standards US would be low on the sexual totem pole, and turns out Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (98) | Blog

Do sex offenders deserve our sympathy?
Getty Images
I'm sure you've all read the news today regarding the US Supreme Court's 5 to 4 ruling that when it comes to child rape, sentencing the death penalty is unconstitutional. Just to brush up on your history, the Court struck down a law allowing the death penalty in cases of adult rape way back in 1977, but five states still allow execution when a child rape had been committed. Now, I'm no big death penalty proponent, but I have to wonder: Do some sex offenders deserve their own brand of cruel and unusual punishment? Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (397) | Blog

Anne Hathaway seems like your typical good girl, right? Unlike many stars her age, she's never been to Promises, and you never read about her spitting at photographers or passing out at nightclubs. Still, fans were shocked when she broke up with longtime boyfriend Raffaelo Follieri, and for good reason: According to Reuters, her 29 year old new ex has recently been charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering. Question is: When you discover that someone you love is leading a double life, can you ever forgive them, or is it always a deal breaker? Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (65) | Blog
