Mad About Being Mad About ‘Mad Men’
The other day I read a fantastic article by Andy Greenwald of Grantland about what complexities and secrecy have made Mad Men (in his opinion) the best show on television. Now, I’m a huge fan of television, much like Greenwald himself—but I used to pay little attention to what the… [Read More]

Let’s examine a few important genres of this American life and pinpoint the reasons why: Sports… [Read More]
5 Reasons to upgrade to Snapchat Premium
I haven’t been a very big fan of Twitter and Facebook these days. I don’t find the daily passings of my life to be interesting or relevant in 140 characters or less and in all seriousness liking Facebook just isn’t cool anymore. The new media/app/concept that has gripped me is… [Read More]

Why Guys Can Relate to ‘Girls.’ The Show.

And Make Sure to Follow Us on Twitter
There is a lot of yelling noises going on about Twitter hacking, but one question is yet to be answered: why the fuck are you following Burger King on Twitter in the first place? Are there a bunch of Junior Whopper deals I’m missing on the regular? Is “The King”… [Read More]
Oscar Talk: Who Won, Who Lost, Who Was Probably On Blow
Won Christoph Waltz Fluent in German, English, and French. Wins a second oscar for playing essentially the same clever-bastard role he did in Inglorious Basterds (less Nazi this time, granted) over Tommy Lee Jones, Alan Arkin, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Robert De Niro. How can I get a dinner reservation… [Read More]
PSTMDRN NGLSH
Many of us have been in a decade-long, love-hate relationship with lol. At the height of the AIM era, we threw it around at everything. Funny? lol. Stupid? lol. Heartbreaking? lol.
