&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;A friend sent us a link to the New York Daily News review of &lt;i&gt;X-Men Origins: Wolverine&lt;/i&gt;,
which doesn&amp;#39;t say much of anything about the movie besides giving it
one star.Hell, it doesn&amp;#39;t even take that snoozer of a title to task.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;What&amp;#39;s
notable about the story is what happens in the comments section: a
flamewar starts among a whole slew of people who have never even seen
the damn movie...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The opening lines pretty cover it-- typical movie critic putdown coupled with proof positive the movie blogs wolf balls:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The signature moment — done four times! — from &amp;quot;X-Men Origins:
Wolverine&amp;quot; is an overhead shot of Hugh Jackman with his arms and
metallic blades outstretched, screaming as the camera pulls away. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It&amp;#39;s the perfect response to this slice-and-dice superhero fiasco.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The remainder of the review contains no more hope for X-Men freaks:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We see Wolverine get a motorcycle, have his memory erased and gain his knuckle-knives. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We watch as he loves, loses and lumberjacks. What&amp;#39;s never captured is why we should care.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;You would think the fans would ignore this or at least say, &amp;quot;Well,
that doesn&amp;#39;t sound promising, but I&amp;#39;ll reserve judgment until I
actually watch this film.&amp;quot; No such luck for Joe Neumaier, who receives
a drubbing worse than Hugh Jackman&amp;#39;s acting chops:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Aw this hack writer just wants to be the first one to have the
negative review out there. Who needs reviewers? I go see what I want to
see, I can honestly say I have NEVER let a critics opinion sway me
seeing a film. It&amp;#39;s art so the beauty is in the eye of teh beholder,
not the critic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Critics are lame and they don&amp;#39;t actually do anything. They just
make their living talking about what someone else does... a parasite of
sorts. Make a career change baldy and do something real!
&amp;quot;The credit in life goes not to the critic who stands on the sideline
and points out where the strong stumble. But rather, the real credit in
life goes to the person who&amp;#39;s actually in the arena.&amp;quot; Theodore Roosevelt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;His Mother probably ripped up all his old comics... let&amp;#39;s see
what he says about, &amp;quot;Earth&amp;quot; from Disney, probably rave reviews and
he&amp;#39;ll use the free tickets he gets to take the family to Disney World.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mr. Movie Critic, sir. Please tell us why on earth should we
listen to your opinion? Is it because you have spent years studying the
finer points of film and are the closest thing to an expert there is?
Why don&amp;#39;t you share some of your top movie picks so that the rest of us
can trash them? Why do movie critics even exist. In these stressful
economic times, that is one thing we could defnitely live without.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;To the lame critic all I have to say is...Shrrrrirnggggg!! True
fans and fans who don&amp;#39;t give 2 s**ts about this cornball&amp;#39;s review know
exactly what this sound means and where we&amp;#39;ll be on Friday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
							  &lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Critic=Mutant Hater.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;
                       &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;THis is about the only review that had something ad to say about
this movie. I know sooo many people that have seen the bootleg and
still plan to go watch it on the big screen. Ive had the dvd in my
player for a week, but i wont watch it. Ive been waiting for this movie
for soo long. This reviewer sure doesnt know what he&amp;#39;s talking about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Remember, no one here claims to have seen the finished cut of the
film (the download doesn&amp;#39;t count, since it&amp;#39;s an incomplete version.)
Wonder what they&amp;#39;ll think when the movie comes out and breaks their
iron little hearts...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We sure as hell didn&amp;#39;t.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Apparently, it&amp;#39;s about the war between abstinence and promiscuous, rampant, glorious sex...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In an interview with The Knoxville News-Sentinel, of all sources, writer/co-director/star Zach Cregger discusses his B-comedy&amp;#39;s place in the debate. Creger, playing Eugene, a guy about to give in to his hot girlfriend&amp;#39;s demands that they have sex on prom night, ends up falling down a flight of stairs and cracking his head open. He winds up in a coma for four years, emerging only to find out that his girlfriend is now the Playboy centerfold for the month of March. Somehow, this leads to a road trip to the Playboy Mansion... and a rendezvous with sexual destiny:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s basically about what I was like in my youth,&amp;quot; says the
27-year-old Cregger, who wrote, co-directed and stars in the teen
comedy, in theaters Friday. &amp;quot;He is very pro-abstinence, very polarized
on the topic of sex. He&amp;#39;s very puritanical.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;There is a message in the movie,&amp;quot; says Cregger, who is single but
in a committed relationship, &amp;quot;but it&amp;#39;s not about not waiting.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tucker &amp;quot;has an equally unrealistic view about sex,&amp;quot; Cregger says.
&amp;quot;He wants to have sex with as many people as possible before marriage.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then what is Cregger&amp;#39;s movie trying to say? &amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s so many
different ways to look at sex, all equally as unhealthy,&amp;quot; he says.
&amp;quot;There is a middle ground, and you have to let some of these things go
sometimes.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cregger says &amp;quot;Miss March&amp;quot; also shines a bit of light on subjects
rarely talked about. For instance, &amp;quot;sometimes,&amp;quot; he says, &amp;quot;guys are
afraid of sex.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;You can read the rest of the story &lt;a href="http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/41632"

I can get out of them pretty easily by recounting what happened last time I threw back tequila from a tiny glass: &amp;quot;I tried to make out with a girl and threw up in a cab.&amp;quot; But I have nothing on Andy Dick who took bodily functions in automobiles to a whole new level when he was wasted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“When I drink I turn into a moron,” the former comedian tells &lt;a href="http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/02/70414/index.html" target="_Blank"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Entertainment Tonight&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
“I think I’m being funny and clever, but I look back on the video tape
and I border on retardation. People see me as a very easy target and
they just make fun of me. It’s horrible, actually. It’s like making fun
of a mentally handicapped person, because I am when I have that much
alcohol inside of me.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;So when did he “hit bottom”? “Sitting in the back of the cop car
urinating all over myself, crying, blowing my nose into my own shirt,”
he recalls. “It was incomprehensible demoralization. I also had in one
day, my agent, my manager and my publicist say ‘Sayonara!’ That still
didn’t stop me.” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/82491/any-dick-recalls-urinating-himself-in-cop-car/" target="_blank"&gt;Faded Youth&lt;/a&gt;] &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Related:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/16/today-in-c-list-celeb-arrests.aspx"&gt;Andy Dick And Steven Page: Today In C-List Celeb Arrests&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/15/dick-in-a-box-vote-in-a-box-justin-timberlake-jessica-biel.aspx"&gt;&amp;quot;Vote in the Box&amp;quot; Not Nearly as Funny as &amp;quot;D*ck in a Box&amp;quot; But Still Warms Our Hearts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=171863" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/drunk/default.aspx">drunk</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/poop/default.aspx">poop</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/pee/default.aspx">pee</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/scanner+emily/default.aspx">scanner emily</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/celebrities/default.aspx">celebrities</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/stupid/default.aspx">stupid</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cabs/default.aspx">cabs</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/vomit/default.aspx">vomit</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/andy+dick/default.aspx">andy dick</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/drunk+celebrities/default.aspx">drunk celebrities</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cop+cars/default.aspx">cop cars</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/tequila/default.aspx">tequila</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/throw+up/default.aspx">throw up</category></item><item><title>Tampon Ad Is Australia's Most-Complained About of 2008</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/01/05/tampon-ad-is-australia-s-most-complained-about-of-2008.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:51:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:161270</guid><dc:creator>Brian Fairbanks</dc:creator><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=161270</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/01/05/tampon-ad-is-australia-s-most-complained-about-of-2008.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2009/01/happy%20tampon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2009/01/happy%20tampon.jpg" border="0" height="364" width="364" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Idiots everywhere raved about it: &amp;quot;I think the beaver ad is fantastic!  i couldn&amp;#39;t stop laughing when i saw the ad -good on you guys!!!!!&amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;quot;This was cheeky and effective.

Okay, maybe not to your mom, unless you&amp;#39;re a teenager (in which case, turn off your computer and go watch &amp;quot;Saved by the Bell&amp;quot; right now!), but maybe you should give your older, divorced sister some condoms. Because according to a new study out of the UK, people in their 30&amp;#39;s and 40&amp;#39;s are much less likely than teenagers to use condoms when having sex with someone new. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;While 68 percent of 16- to 19-year-olds said they used protection for the first sexual encounter with a new partner, just 38 percent of men and 29 percent of women aged 35 to 44 reported doing so, Dr. Catherine H. Mercer of University College London and her colleagues found.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Increasing rates of STIs diagnosed among those in their 30s and 40s suggest that interventions that promote consistent condom use with new partners are urgently required, not just for young people as has been the focus recently, but for people in their 30s and 40s and older who are increasingly forming new partnerships,&amp;quot; Mercer and her team write in the International Journal of Epidemiology.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The researchers surveyed 11,161 men and women 16 to 44 years old. Each person was interviewed face-to-face, and then answered more sensitive questions about sexual issues using a computer-assisted self-interview. Study participants reported the number of sexual partners they&amp;#39;d had, and also gave detailed information on the nature of their last three relationships.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The survey turned up 15,488 heterosexual partnerships reported by 9,598 people. For men, 39 percent of these partnerships were casual (defined as &amp;quot;not (yet) regular&amp;quot;), while 20 percent of women&amp;#39;s were. Overall, 37 percent of men and 29 percent of women said they used a condom the last time they had sex.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;When having sex for the first time with a partner, 55 percent of participants used a condom. Couples with an age difference of five years or greater were less likely to use condoms when they had sex the first time. And 23 percent of men said that they&amp;#39;d had sex within 24 hours of meeting their current partner, compared to about 11 percent of women.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The high rate of unprotected sex they identified, especially in casual partnerships is &amp;quot;worrisome,&amp;quot; the researchers say. They conclude: &amp;quot;Condom use with new partners needs to be promoted among all age groups.&amp;quot; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[Reuters: &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE4AG63Q20081117" target="_blank"&gt;Older people more likely to have unprotected sex&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/14/old-people-and-gay-sex.aspx"&gt;What Does this 93-Year-Old-Man Love So Much About Old-People Sex?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/06/12/shocker-old-people-are-still-alive.aspx"&gt;Shocker!

receptacle. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Aside from the music, which, like everything the pop star has released, is awful beyond words in our current vocabulary, this is the best MTV video we&amp;#39;ve seen in years... which, since we haven&amp;#39;t seen a video on MTV since 1993, isn&amp;#39;t saying much...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font

guy&amp;#39;s head onto the copier. It gave us a little peek into what likely goes on at Britney Headquarters on a daily basis-- Britney comes in wearing something that would be incredibly desirable on any other woman of the world, then beats the shit out of everyone and shaves herself in appropriate places, like her head or the backseat of a Volkswagen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;P.S. Can anyone explain to us why that cell phone calendar stops on April 20th, of all the dates in the world, the day of the Columbine massacre and Hitler&amp;#39;s birthday?

It&amp;#39;s possible, of course, that Politico, Politics1, RCP, and all the other sources are wrong, but let&amp;#39;s assume otherwise for the moment:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;1) McCain told David Letterman he couldn&amp;#39;t do anymore interviews because he was rushing back to DC to work on legislation. This was proven, on air, to be a lie, as McCain ran over to do an interview with Katie Couric instead. Fine, whatever. But why then did McCain wait until the morning to fly to DC? Didn&amp;#39;t he know that would be a big red flag for people?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;2) McCain said he was going to suspend campaigning. But we&amp;#39;ve heard from several sources that his ads are still running, his workers are still working, and McCain is still &amp;quot;campaigning&amp;quot; in every sense of the term except for actual stump speeches. See more about what his campaign has been up to since the suspension &lt;a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/mydd/%7E3/s2wnLsSJRRI/2027" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;3) Politico and Politics1 report on how the deal fell apart, thanks to McCain and Bush and their political maneuvering. You have to read this whole thing to appreciate it:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson[&amp;#39;s] $700 billion bailout... fell apart in bitter arguing during the meeting at the
White House called by President Bush... [which was held] at the urging of John McCain. [The Dems] jointly deferred to Barack Obama, who set
forth the[ir] concerns. One Republican at the meeting told
Politico that Obama&amp;#39;s leading role -- versus McCain&amp;#39;s nearly silent
role at the meeting -- was &amp;quot;an ambush&amp;quot; and the Democrats &amp;quot;did a very
good job&amp;quot; of surprising Bush and McCain. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obama immediately raised
concerns that House Republicans had spent the day secretly plotting
with McCain to sabotage the Bush/Paulson plan&lt;/b&gt;. Obama said the Democrats
would not be party to advancing any bailout plan if McCain and the
Congressional Republicans were not solidly behind the plan. &lt;b&gt;Congressman
Paul Ryan (R-WI) &lt;/b&gt;-- one of the fiscal hawks who had been crafting the
conservative alternative plan -- &lt;b&gt;confirmed that the House Republicans
had met with McCain during the day as they worked on the rival plan&lt;/b&gt;. ...&amp;quot;This is such a crisis I&amp;#39;m not going to draw some line in
the sand. We can&amp;#39;t leave without doing something, but we don&amp;#39;t think
the votes are here for Paulson,&amp;quot; said Ryan. As the White House meeting
degenerated into bickering, the Democrats walked out to caucus...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Here&amp;#39;s the short version of the rest: Paulson apparently (literally!) got down on his hands and knees in front of Pelosi and begged them not to quit the talks. According to Politico, his worst fears about what Bush and McCain would try to do-- that is, play politics with the legislation and try to give most of the gargantuan payoff to those who didn&amp;#39;t need it, like CEOs-- were confirmed and the talks stalled. The Democrats and Republicans sectioned themselves off and continued into the evening with the discussions, leaving some to wonder...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;4)... is John McCain going to show up for the debate? As we&amp;#39;ve said before, if he doesn&amp;#39;t, he could get trashed like no Republican has been since Bob Dole&amp;#39;s bumbling 1996 campaign. Obama would be able to mop the floor with him in a town hall-style discussion and emerge the almost unbeatable frontrunner. John McCain: are you getting any of this?! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;More via &lt;a href="http://politics1.com/blog-0908a.htm#0926" target="_blank"&gt;Politics1&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Related:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/24/breaking-john-mccain-suspends-his-campaign.aspx"&gt;BREAKING: John McCain Suspends His Campaign&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/23/gay-community-attacks-mccain-by-outing-his-chief-of-staff.aspx"&gt;Gay Community Attacks McCain By Outing His Chief Of Staff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/25/john-mccain-spent-5k-on-make-up.aspx"&gt;Which Candidate Spends More on Make-Up Than We Do On Shoes?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/22/mccain-was-quot-tasty-quot-and-quot-good-kissing-quot-according-to-his-brazilian-lover.aspx"&gt;McCain Was &amp;quot;Tasty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Good Kissing&amp;quot; According to His Brazilian Lover&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=130973" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/politics/default.aspx">politics</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/george+w+bush/default.aspx">george w bush</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/Barack+Obama/default.aspx">Barack Obama</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/david+letterman/default.aspx">david letterman</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/john+McCain/default.aspx">john McCain</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/stupid/default.aspx">stupid</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/debates/default.aspx">debates</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/nancy+pelosi/default.aspx">nancy pelosi</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/katie+couric/default.aspx">katie couric</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/the+white+house/default.aspx">the white house</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/economic+stimulus/default.aspx">economic stimulus</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/interview/default.aspx">interview</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/sarah+palin/default.aspx">sarah palin</category></item><item><title>Today in Sex Toys: The Shaver Vibrator</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/24/today-in-sex-toys-the-shaver-vibrator.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:39:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:130400</guid><dc:creator>Brian Fairbanks</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=130400</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/24/today-in-sex-toys-the-shaver-vibrator.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/09/23-End/womaniser.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/09/23-End/womaniser.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Sex toy manufacturer Touche calls this dual-action vibrator-shaver the Womaniser (ooh, touche.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;But what do the Brits who have already tried it out think of this strange new invention? The Womaniser, which lasts for about forty minutes per battery charge, has not gone over so well with Love Honey&amp;#39;s customer reviewer:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt; It really is a case of form over function. The packaging is amazing, all sexy and black and sophisticated.The shaver and vibrator are at different ends and the shaver is hidden
behind a ‘safety cap’. Now this is where we have our first problem.
This is NOT a safety cap. It’s a lump of silicone with metal inside
that loosely cover[s] the shaver. I spent ages trying to ‘click’ the cap
shut, thinking I must be an idiot, but I have come to the decision that
there is no mechanism to keep the top on. The shaver seems to snag the hair and is just not sharp enough when
under cover of the comb. It can tidy you up a bit but no more than that.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now
onto the vibrator... the battery compartment and button stick
out, there’s no way you can use this inside the vagina... it seems designed to be used as a g-spot
stimulator as well, yet can’t be.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Crucially, she goes on (well, we&amp;#39;re assuming it&amp;#39;s a &amp;quot;she&amp;quot;), the vibrator fails as a masturbatory device as well, due to its weak vibrations. Apparently, setting your Nokia phone to shake and shimmy would be a better option. And, as we know from personal experience, since Nokia&amp;#39;s tend to capture hair off our heads while we&amp;#39;re talking, it might work as a shaver while we&amp;#39;re self-satisfying, as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Via &lt;a href="http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=14784" target="_blank"&gt;Love Honey UK&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/08/12/the-10-best-things-about-vibrators.aspx"&gt;The 10 Best Things About Vibrators&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/08/11/babeland-launches-the-erratic-inconsistent-man-like-vibrator.aspx"&gt;Babeland Launches The Erratic, Dangerous, Man-Eliminating Vibrator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/17/sloppy-seconds-project-runway-a-bunch-of-slackers.aspx"&gt;Elizabeth Hasselbeck Not Sure What A Vibrator Is For&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/05/dc-madam-dictates-memoir-from-beyond-the-grave.aspx"&gt;DC Madam Dictates Memoir From Beyond The Grave!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/09/swedish-prostitutes-complain-we-want-to-pay-taxes-too.aspx"&gt;Swedish Prostitutes Complain: &amp;quot;We Wanna Pay Taxes, Too!&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/18/ellen-pompeo-goes-nude-for-allure.aspx"&gt;Ellen Pompeo Goes Nude For Allure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=130400" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/sex+toys/default.aspx">sex toys</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/wtf/default.aspx">wtf</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/vibrators/default.aspx">vibrators</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/stupid/default.aspx">stupid</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/great+britain/default.aspx">great britain</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/united+kingdom/default.aspx">united kingdom</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/vibrator/default.aspx">vibrator</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/british/default.aspx">british</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/painful/default.aspx">painful</category></item><item><title>Man Sells His Soul To Hell (Pizza)</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/03/man-sells-his-soul-to-hell-pizza.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:106538</guid><dc:creator>Brian Fairbanks</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=106538</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/03/man-sells-his-soul-to-hell-pizza.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/07/01-07/louis%20safer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/07/01-07/louis%20safer.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;re not making this up (although CNN and the AP might be): a man named (Sir?) Walter Scott of Wellington, New Zealand, has sold his soul for $3,800... to a pizza place... named &amp;quot;Hell Pizza.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hope Walter was joking when he shrugged off the country&amp;#39;s collective moral outrage and noted in the auction listing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;quot;I can&amp;#39;t see it, touch it or feel it, but I can sell it, so I&amp;#39;m going to palm it off to the highest bidder.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the sellouts at TradeMe (some sort of e-bay ripoff in Kiwiland) pulled the auction, the owners of the local Hell Pizza stepped in like Robert De Niro in &amp;quot;Angel Heart.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;quot;The soul belongs to Hell, there is simply no better place for it,&amp;quot;
&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/03/nzealand.soul.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories" target="_blank"&gt;Allison told The Associated Press&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;quot;He was pretty delighted.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;
O&amp;#39;Donnell had said on Wednesday that Scott&amp;#39;s auction complied with
TradeMe&amp;#39;s rules because a physical object -- the deed of ownership --
