Douchebag Decree

Remember Reebok's line of EasyTone shoes? The ones with the dry-heave-inducing commercials that claim to "make your boobs jealous" by toning your butt? Yeah, turns out that wasn't just a sexist ad campaign, it was also a lie.

Oscar-nominated actor Taraji P. Henson stars in the new CBS drama Person of Interest, but you wouldn't know that if you asked TV Guide.

Billy Corgan continued his downward trajectory towards irrelevancy (wrestling, anyone?) last week by not only insulting, slandering and threatening violence against Portland-based guitar pedal maker Devi Ever, but by making some incredibly transphobic statements for all of the Internet to see.

When I heard that Southwest had done something appalling, my first thought was, "Again?"

I lived in France for a short time in my carefree younger days, and I have fond memories of their refreshing attitudes about sex (and also soft cheeses): Ne t'inquietes pas! C'est naturel! and so on. However, call it the American prude in me, but I am thoroughly creeped out by this new line of lingerie for girls ages three months and up by the French company Jours Après Lunes. Making out on a park bench or not shaving your armpits or what have you is one thing, but putting a bra on a four-year old is something else entirely.

The New York Post likens the US stock market to "a hooker’s drawers" with a "hooker" on its cover. Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch is back in town.

Are you a woman who secretly enjoys beer yet can't find one girly enough to suit your needs? Would you enjoy beer more if it were pink, low in carbs, and super sweet? Well never fear, because Chick Beer is here!

Have you been following the Scott "rape is a natural instinct" Adams story? If not, hold on to your hat barf bag. Adams, creator of the cartoon Dilbert and noted mega-douche wrote on his blog recently that, among other things, men are naturally prone to raping women (and "tweeting their meat," which he lumps into the same sentence as rape) and society is to blame.

Sometimes a situation is so horrible that a Douchebag Decree just doesn't cut it. However, I can think of nothing douchier today than the NYPD trial verdict, which found the two accused officers not guilty of rape.

Reel Grrls, the awesome Seattle-based nonprofit organization that teaches media production to young women, has been under douche attack! Recently, Reel Grrls tweeted about the massive conflict of interest that is FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker's new job at NBC (this coming after she voted for the NBC/Comcast merger, natch) and Comcast's Steve Kipp responded by attempting to pull the funding for their summer film camp. WTF!?
