Dear CNN,
Surely you must remember when gay marriage became legal in California–afterall, you covered it here and here.
So why did your coverage of the Ellen-Portia nuptials over the weekend read ‘Ellen “marries” Portia,’ in quotation marks? That implies the ladies weren’t actually pronounced wife and wife–and possibly even that gay marriage isn’t actually marriage.
Not cool, […]

Our friends over at Scanner had a bunch of stories involving nudity yesterday, and we gladly point them out to you today.

A Current TV reporter recently hit the streets of London two days in a row in search of free goods and services: cab rides, slices of cake, drinks.

Meet the “Time Warp Wives” — three British gals who live like it’s 1930, 1940 and 1950.
I want those clothes! But not that life.
The Daily Mail interviewed Joanne, age 35, who owns some fabulous 1950s get-ups — but she also doesn’t leave the house without lipstick on and won’t put gas in the car […]

When heading out for a night on the town, most women know that the right undergarments the pretty outfit often make: no VPLs (visible panty lines), an increase or reduction […]

Have you seen the Calvin Klein ad that was banned in the United States? In the :30 spot Eva Mendes rolls around in white sheets and shows just a hint of nipple. The glimpse, which comes around the :15 mark, has been edited out of versions that will air on cable channels stateside. The uncut […]

A cuckold living in the UK has been waging a one-man campaign against an American investment banker. It turns out the banker had relations with the man’s wife a few years ago.
