Skylar lamp review: +20 points for giving me a good laugh and refresher course on how to talk dirty, should i ever lure a lady back for coffee ever again. Jockey Next to Nothing Thong/Wearing a Thong review: -5 for reminding me of the #1 way to piss me off as highschool newspaper editor with your pseudo-journalissimo wit. overall: +15 [helm of disintegrating standards]

Too "clever" by half. The guy from x-entertainment does this much, much better.

Agreed. I like the idea of this site in general, but the guy tries WAY too hard to be clever and witty, and more often than not makes reading the content really annoying...especially considering that 90% of the time, he somehow finds a way to fold in icky sexual undertones to it that are more disturbing than funny. McSweeney's Recommends is much better. Wierd thing is this guy lives about 4 blocks away from me in Honolulu.
