This video recreates "sexy women" commercials with gender-swapped versions, showing just how stupid women are expected to act to sell stuff that has nothing to do with sex. (And frankly, the Doritos commercial with the married couple watching football shows just how idiotic the media makes fictional men act as well.)
A worthy addition to The Hawkeye Initiative for comics and this guy for book covers.

Backhanded compliments
Today was my mom's 74th birthday. Faith said she didn't look 74; she only looked 71. Never one to miss a chance to kiss up, Eric amended, "I think you look 69."

Snowy life masks
These look Photoshopped but apparently aren't: just what happens when you bury your face in the snow and take a digital photo without a flash.

Veronica Mars
So psyched! They got everyone back (not that most of the actors have a lot of work on their plates these days, I suppose). If only they could find a way to work in a Lily flashback cameo. I'm going to see this movie, like, 18 times.

Great ad. I'm intrigued by the green-label Coke. What's up with that?
