NYT Editorial Board to Goldman Sachs CEO's Apology: Stick it up Your Ass

"Make Your Boobs Jealous!": Reebok's "EasyTone" Ad Campaign Is An Epic Fail
Hey ladies, is there anything sexier than the blatant objectification of women? Reebok certainly doesn't think so, as evidenced by their horrendous "EasyTone" sneaker commercials, which drew the attention of several of our readers, and not in a good way. [Jezebel] -

John Mayer Interviews Now Lead to the Same Conclusion: He's (Probably) a Date Rapist.
