Sex Blogger Fired From Lesser Sex Blog

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

We're pretty good at writing about sex. One of the reasons for that is that we actually know something about it, apparently unlike Mike Cherico, who was fired from Glamour Magazine's Man Needs Date, which we will not be linking to.

The Post and other sources have already covered this, but none of them got down and dirty with the smutty details like Jezebel did...

To get himself fired, Cherico did the following:

1) He blogged about groping some girl while on a date with his lovey-dovey girlfriend, who also wrote for his blog

2) He sent his gal an e-mail telling her he was going to blog about the groping and "please don't be mad."

3) He backpedaled in a later e-mail to Miss Smarty Shoes, the gal, by saying he was "probably drunk" when he wrote the previous e-mail. It was sent at 3:30pm.

4) He came over her place and watched TV while she cooked (hey, "Lost" must've been on) and then told her they couldn't have sex because he'd boned twice already that day, including at least once with a really "hot" bimbo. What a flatterer!

5) And what did his blog post say that got him fired? He thought a cut on Miss Smarty Shoes's lip meant she had herpes.

Miss Smarty Shoes is no hero in this, however. She continued to see Cherico, even after he cut short an earlier date to "go make a drug deal" and, on their first date, made her listen to his ex-girlfriend ranting and raving while their end of the line was muted. To top it off, she had unprotected sex with him later that night.

Lesson learned, ladies. Only trust female sex bloggers...

Man, this blogging thing is on the internet as well?  Hmm.  I can't believe people get paid to write that bullshit.  Not that it's all bullshit, I have favorite bloggers.  Actually, it makes for good writing in my opinion, I mean why not.  But fellows like this are a T-shirt.  Flava of the week.
