Come on, Dodge marketers, that doesn’t make any fucking sense. Put the caramel mocha latte down and open up a dictionary.
“When it comes to water, why settle for a half-litre when you can have a full, five-hundred millilitres?”

There’s a special kind of excitement that fills the palatial hallways of casa bstewart when the new Hammacher Schlemmer catalog arrives, and it’s not just due to the renewed opportunity to say the words “Hammacher” and “Schlemmer” in rapid succession, ad infinitum. And, lemmetellya, if you don’t already know it, this year’s Christmas catalog [...]

That’s the answer Bill Maher gave Larry King this week when asked “why would someone who is gay take public, anti-gay positions? Why would you do that?”. They were talking, of course, about self-loathing Republican dicks like Mark Foley, Ted Haggard and — boy, no surprise here — outgoing Republican National Committee chairthing Ken Mehlman. [...]

“Success Tower” is part of Toronto’s Harbourfront condoopolis and joins “Celebrity Place” as one of the city’s more ludicrously-named residences. All that’s missing, for extraclassy appeal, is the “Trump” name. If “Success Tower” is, as advertised, the first building in the development, is it reasonable to assume that subsequent towers will logically — and sequentially [...]

This exit door, at the city’s most-traveled subway station and in its third week of disrepair, offers further proof that the Toronto Transit Commission is every bit “The Better Way” its slogan would imply. Visitors to “world-class” Toronto should note that single fares for the TTC run at $2.75 and there still is no subway [...]

Calvin Klein Briefs:

Schadenfreudelicious!
You don’t want to laugh, but you have to. Above, Pennsylvania voters make “see you next Tuesday” a reality for douchebag senator Rick Santorum*. In other news, Dan Savage admitted to hospital for exhaustion after repeatedly hoisting his champagne glass in toasts from all of America. Not pictured: thousands of Americans celebrate the defeat of [...]

“BlãK”? Oh, that’s not going to confuse anyone wanting to pronounce it correctly.
The label clearly states “CONTAINS ASPARTAME” and yet the second ingredient is sugar. Make up your minds, douchebags.

That said, it’s delicious when served icy-cold. And it makes you feel doubly-reckless if you drink some after 4PM. Too bad about the sugar, though. [...]
