I’m going to come right out and say it: Nirvana’s Nevermind is the most overrated album released in my lifetime. Cry all you want to the contrary, but it just makes you sound like an even bigger fool. On the 20th anniversary of its release, several hack music journalists, among […]
Last week, I pooped out a couple of words about the five hottest women on True Blood this season, a fun exercise because part of the show’s appeal is how much it trades in sex (see Nelsan Ellis in that smart little bandana-fishnet ensemble pictured above for an example). The […]
I long ago stopped hiding the fact that I’m an avid fan of HBO’s True Blood, which just wrapped up its fourth season. And, while watching the show isn’t exactly my manliest hobby, it does have plenty of redeeming qualities for its male viewers, not the least of which is […]

After writing about men wishing they were an ass-crushing turbine of sexual attraction, a successful (if unlawful) businessman and the coolest guy to ever walk the Earth, I realized that there is a dark side to the average male I had overlooked. A sinister aspect that bore mention. You see, […]
