World's Geekiest Tattoos (Switched)

Sep 8th 2008 2:22PM in my opinion, tattoos mark a time in one's life. so what if this guy wants to always be able to remember his WOW days? i don't believe there are any ridiculous or stupid tattoos because every one of them either have or have had significant meaning. as far as tribal and asian symbols go, i think you need to do a little research on the "originality" of those designs, because those designs are actually where tattoos originated. and name tattoos, there is nothing wrong with taking enough pride in your own name to get it permanently placed on your skin.

Banned Trojan Ad (AOL Video Blog)

Jun 22nd 2007 8:35PM This commercial is not portraying males as pigs. It is implying that someone who partakes in unprotected sex may also share some characteristics with pigs. So, this commercial is not stereo-typing males, it is simply saying that making the decision to have protected sex is going to make you look better than the rest.

The Real Borat? (Gadling)

Nov 12th 2006 3:12PM As a huge fan of Borat, and Da Ali G Show in general, I can say that the Mahir Cagri quote from this article is hardly similar to any Borat quote. The only similarity is the broken English. Borat uses anti-feminism, anti-semitism and just racism in general, either to offend someone or simply to show how people in America actually are. In one Borat sketch, Borat goes to a country-western bar, dressed up as a cowboy and holding a guitar and sings on stage the song "Throw the Jew Down the Well". The audience responds by clapping and singing along. Keep in mind, these sketches are not staged. And then after the release of the movie, Sascha Baron Cohen gets heat for anti-semitism, when he himself is Jewish.
