Guinness Is Struggling, And This Gimmicky New IPA Won't Save It
If you came of drinking age in a certain era, Guinness Draught was quite likely the first good beer you ever had.

The Cool Pope Is Not Down With Texting At The Dinner Table
Pope Francis is cool with lots of things: He’s down with the gays, he’s (marginally) more chill about abortion, and he would welcome aliens from outer space with open arms. He’s reasonable and real, and down with the kids. But if there’s one thing he will not stand, it’s using your flippin’ smartph...

It’s only taken eight games for Timberwolves rookie Karl-Anthony Towns to establish himself as one of the dopest young players in the league—seriously, go watch some KAT highlights right now if you haven’t seen him play yet; he’s extremely good—but not that long ago he was just a baby-faced teen ido...
Tell Us About The Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen On Public Transportation
One morning last week, I was riding the train into Manhattan, and saw a woman slurping down a Tupperware container full of soupy, smelly oatmeal. She sat perched on the edge of her seat, shoveling glob after glob into her mouth. I couldn’t get off the train fast enough. It was gross! Surely you’ve s...
<i>Skin Trade </i>Lets<i> </i>Dolph Lundgren Cook, And For A Dumb Action Flick, That's Enough
Dolph Lundgren has had a couple of cups of coffee with the American pop-cultural psyche: haughtily sneering over Apollo Creed’s death in Rocky IV, wearing a necklace of severed ears in Universal Soldier, that sort of thing. But he never crossed over to the upper tier of action stars, and it’s hard t...

Why Are Hot Takers Truthering The Missouri Fiasco?
Missouri is playing a football game this Saturday night—a game that was recently put in jeopardy by the ongoing firestorm at the school. It’s a big ol’ shitshow that promises to get messier before it gets cleaner, with potential strikes, ousted chancellors, professors begging for muscle (coming righ...
Here's Ray Lewis Rapping, Sort Of, For Some Reason
Ray Lewis has dabbled in rap music before, but now he’s set his sights beyond the motivational football rap genre. Lewis has moved on to the Real Shit, one might say, and he’s got bars to spit about women and, uh, men, and like, uh, honoring women? I dunno, man, just listen:...
Oh Shit! Maybe Krapsnaps Bazingas Is A Beast?
When was the last time a Knicks lottery pick inspired as much excitement as Latvian giant Krapsnaps Bazingas, this past summer’s fourth overall pick? Can you recall? I can’t.

The Ballet Barre Workout That Burns, Oh God, It Burns
So New York magazine reported back in September that no one is really doing pilates anymore, which makes sense: It’s not exactly the only fitness-niche game in town. Not by a long shot. I’ve personally tried many of them, from spin to Zumba to hot yoga; today, please welcome to the stage, Pure Barre...
