While You Were Sleeping: Sarah Palin Knew About The Promiscuous Sex

How far is too far in the quest for employment? If you're still unemployed, then you haven't gone far enough.

We're glad PETA is using the lovely and highly intelligent Alyssa Milano in their ad, but we kinda wish they had made her show more skin.

Miss Maryland USA 2004 was busted for drugs. No, not for doing drugs... selling drugs.

Friends with benefits relationships account for 60% of college couples.

We're going to put a Dylan bootleg mix CD together for Senator Feingold.

The 2009 Pillow Fight in New York City was held outside the Stock Exchange as some sort of protest.

What exactly was a UK regulator thinking when it fined the Playboy Channel thousands of pounds for broadcasting sexual content? What did everyone think they were going to broadcast?

Vote for the next star of PG Porn.

We already mentioned Levin Johnston on Tyra. What we didn't mention was that he said that the loving couple stayed over at the Governor's house on several occasions and that Sarah Palin "probably knew" her daughter had an active sex life. This woman is the very personification of "fail."

And if Regina Lynn's blocked on Southwest's in-flight wifi, so must we...

WNBA Brawl: Boxing or WWF?

Nicole Pasulka — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:15:00 GMT

As Scanner Verena pointed out yesterday, women's sports can get violent. USA Today is claiming this violence is the result of crappy ratings rather than crappy attitudes and while we agree that women can be as agro and nasty as men we haven't seen the WNBA get so much ESPN airtime since, well, ever. Every camera angle, replayed, slo-moed, analyzed discussed and dissected in more detail and depth than a WNBA championship game ever received.

So here's the thing. We think this fight is real, but the cynic inside our heads is watering a seed of doubt. Video after the jump. What do you say? Is it real? And if not, can you blame the league for trading a little cat fight for a little attention? Put our doubts to rest or destroy our faith in the honesty of female fury forever.

Pillow Fight 2008: The Happiest Place on Earth

Emily Farris — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:21:00 GMT

Have you ever wanted to witness two girls, or two guys, having an old school pillow fight? If the answer is yes, your dream is about to come true times, like, four thousand.

According to the Facebook invitation, 8,361 people are planning to throw down at the Third Annual New York City Pillow Fight taking place in Union Square tomorrow. And counting all the people who aren't on Facebook, there will probably be 8,364 people there.

If you don't live in New York, don't fret. This is all part of International Pillow Fight Day, so if there's not one happening in your city, you can arrange one. We know it's late notice, but is it ever too late to be the creepy guy who finds some excuse to get a couple of hot chicks to come over with pillows? Hell, you could even provide the pillows and the booze. You may be creepy, but you're not cheap, right?

Fun costumes are encouraged, so we're sure if you want to see two girls pillow fighting in nighties, your chances here are as good or better than anywhere else. Nighties or no, it sure does sound like a damn good time.

As much as we love a good pillow fight, though, Saturday is reserved as Scanner Emily's Sanity Day. But maybe this is exactly what we need. A pillow isn't a bludgeon, which is really what we want, and maybe that's a good thing.

Here's video from last year's pillow fight in New York City:

In the News: Colbert for Prez, Naked Chocolate Jesus, Pillow Fight!

Nicole Pasulka — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:05:00 GMT

We wish this wasn't a joke: Stephen Colbert is running for President. "After nearly 15 minutes of soul-searching, I have heard the call," said Colbert.

See, no one ever talks about sexy, man-loving feminists, but they should: Survey finds that feminists have healthier, more romantic heterosexual relationships. Older men with feminist partners said they had more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction.

Holiness never tasted so delicious: Naked chocolate Jesus sculpture to be shown at a New York City art gallery amid some protest. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said it will not protest because, unlike before, there are no plans to put the "anatomically correct" Jesus in public view during Holy Week.

That's it, pillow-fight the argument away: Belgian students organize a giant pillow fight mocking linguistic and regional rivalries between Dutch and French speakers. The impasse prompted media to speculate that the 177-year-old nation might break apart.
