Photos and videos of girls kissing? Check.
An article about getting all sluttied up and going down to Sea Isle for a “Gottis and Hottis” party? Check.
An article about getting all sluttied up and going down to Sea Isle that includes the following description?
On this particular weekend, Meghan*, 22, from NE Philly, was the buzz of the house. She had just so happened to be at the House of Blues in Atlantic City for a Friday night show featuring actor John Corbett and his band. Most of you will remember Corbett as Sarah Jessica Parker’s flame Aidan from Sex and the City.
During the show, Meghan locked eyes with Corbett. As he exited the stage, he whispered in her ear “Wait for me.” [...]
Meghan met up with Corbett and the rest of the band in the Foundation Room inside the House of Blues at the Showboat Casino. She said the room was dark with a Buddha theme and was pretty empty because the band rented out the whole room. They stayed there until about 3:30 a.m. when they went to one of the bars in the casino.
As they shared a few cigarettes out on the balcony which overlooked the beach, Meghan said they also shared a little make-out session.
“The kiss was sloppy,” Meghan said. “He tasted like Patron (tequila) because he drank so much of it all night. Every time I turned around, he was ordering more Patron or shots of Red-Headed Sluts.”
The shot, she said, was a funny choice since he seemed to be a little sluttish himself.
“[Corbett] kept whispering in my ear ‘(Room) 1108, baby; you better be there tonight,’” Meghan said.
Check.

One of the girls, Sam*, 21, from Bucks County, couldn’t decide what to wear. She was going in and out of everyone’s rooms, trying everything on and hating it all. One of the problems was that her boobs were too big for most of the shirts she was trying on. She eventually realized that spilling out of her top was actually appropriate for the party we were heading to, so she settled on a black corset top with her significant cleavage popping out. She piled her auburn hair into a bouffant-like ’do, completing the trashy look in-line with the theme of the party.
Uh, check. And God bless the Internet, Philly EDGE and everything inbetween.

And away we go:
pwddmac: so, that new teresa masterson thing, i think we should just leave it alone this time. i don’t want to do TM overkill.
anonymous reader: no! we can’t not talk about her pole dancing.
reader: although for some reason, i feel almost bad when we make fun of her now
reader: she does seem reasonably cool
pwddmac: i agree. but it’s just a shtick. i mean, we’re not all that mean, are we?
reader: i guess we’re just more detached. i’ve never thought of her reading this before.
pwddmac: hmm. so do you want to let it go?
reader: uh, no. i’m just going to feel bad about it afterward.
reader: let’s play a game called - can you diagram the following sentence:
reader: “But in this Britney Spears culture, where women feel it necessary to show it all, it seems like were missing the good stuff when everyone is showing off all of their stuff.”
pwddmac: okay.

pwddmac: i gave up after that
pwddmac: did you know there’s a pole in big boi’s bedroom?
pwddmac: i saw it on cribs. t.o. also has a room called the “chocolate room” in his atlanta house where you have to take your shoes off to enter.
reader: oh god, she should go interview t.o. that would be amazing.
reader: or at least drew
pwddmac: “Next question!”
pwddmac: “Drew, do you think that, in this Britney Spears culture, where women feel it necessary to show it all, it seems like we’re missing the good stuff when everyone is showing off all of their stuff?”
reader: the next “crazy” thing she does for the “blog” should be a “date” with john ogden, i think
pwddmac: or she can get help him do things to get evicted

Today, Inky culture writer Annette John-Hall writes about — what else? — Dancing with the Stars. And the results are in: Dancing is good for men, good for women, indeed, good for America!
You see, Evander Holyfield was on it once. And Jerry Rice was runner-up last year. And, this fall, Emmitt Smith will be on the show, making it three Hall of Fame athletes making some extra cash after their careers are over. (Well, Holyfield is now boxing again. But still.)
And so, John-Hall thinks it’s good for men, specifically black men, who are won over by the “cool-pose culture.” Maybe Emmitt Smith can show people it’s okay to dress up and dance. Fair enough. But, of course, there’s also this:
The message is reinforced widely - from the words and imagery of hip-hop, to the reproachful taunting in sports, even from the White House, [Mark Anthony] Neal tells me.
“Say what you want about [White House] policies, one of Bush’s successes was getting across the message that a real man never wavers. You attack first; attack before they attack you. So it’s coming from the top.”
Yep! All those kids in the cities, taking after the president, clearing brush on their ranches, still not being able to find WMDs. That kind of thing.

Sunday, Wharton professor Lawrence Scott Ward was arrested for allegedly possessing child pornography. He had also been acquitted of a sex charge in 1996 and he also pled guilty in 1999 to attempting to pick up a federal agent posing as a 15-year-old boy.
Yesterday, Penn responded with swift justice:
In a terse statement released yesterday afternoon, the University of Pennsylvania said it had “made arrangements to ensure that he will not be teaching at the Wharton School or elsewhere at the university this semester or in the future.”
That’s right, sports fans! If you get charged with three sex crimes — and, well, if you have tenure — Penn will… uh… pay you to not teach. Sweet.

A letter in today’s Daily News:
Before you fight a war, you must first identify the enemy.
This is war, not a study into how far we can stretch the ambiguity of the Constitution. Racial profiling is something that’s done every day in America. It is something that is never questioned if done right, something that’s even preferred in most cases where favorably used.
Example: Chinese food, Japanese cars, Italian hoagies and Swedish meatballs, Cuban cigars and Russian vodka, just to name a few. The black athlete, your Jewish lawyer, ever see a fat Chinese person? All of these are examples of profiling. Police do it all the time, legally and illegally.
We are at war with a very distinct visual enemy. As a black man, I’m subjected to racial profiling every day. But when I want a good Italian hoagie, I don’t go to Big Mama’s Rib Joint, and when I want good barbecued ribs, I don’t go to Luigi’s. Racial profiling makes all the sense in the world when applied properly. In fact, to not profile, with so much at stake, would be grossly negligent.
To not profile, with so much delicious food at stake, would indeed be grossly negligent.
Profiling’s everywhere and it’s oh so useful [Daily News]
