fornax: Excerpt from Time's 3/19/12 Interview with Stan Lee

Why are there so few women among comic-book illustrators and authors?

Mainly because most comic books are written to appeal to males.

Isn’t that a vicious cycle? If women created the books, isn’t it likely more women would buy them?

Well, you’re right. But since it is a…

Bwahahaha, GOLD!

“I think there was just something about it that awoke a female’s maternal instinct.”

Oh god, do men actually think this? I almost don’t want to dissuade them, their poor minds might not be able to take the truth!

This is my new favourite photo of my mother in the world ever.

Celebrity Shill of the Day: Introducing the latest “ambassador” for L’Oreal Paris’s Men Expert line: Hugh Laurie.

[ontd.]

Related: JCVD for Coors Light.

Well, this is the best/weirdest thing I have seen all day week.

…I am so confused.

Whenever I see ads for of the L’Oreal men’s products I think of the time there was an ad for whatever of theirs Matthew Fox was selling directly opposite an ad for Lost with Jack looking like absolute shit, and the L’Oreal one was saying about how it made him look his best while at work. Well it amused me anyway. Pfft, what are you doing with your evening, insulting tweenage Smallville fans on Twitter or something?

From the department of awkward literary allusions, it’s the Othello Comforter Set from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. Nice, right?

With that many pillows you could probably smother yourself just by accident.

"Wandering with the Great Ones of Europe"

affectionatepunch:

I’ve just spent a while browsing this website and feeling increasingly confused. I still don’t entirely understand what it is, but I think the basic gist of it is that you can supposedly wander around a labyrinth in a Hungarian castle in the middle of the night with a famous poet, philosopher or composer as your “soul-guide”. I’m really not sure that I’d want to be stuck in a dark labyrinth with Rimbaud, as much as I love him. Still, however insane and ridiculous it sounds, I’m definitely up for it if I ever go to Hungary.

…I can’t work out if something has been lost in translation or not! I’m feeling the whole labyrinth thing but I am pretty sure everyone on that page has better things to do in the afterlife than “wander” with me.

From a man who provided “gay expertise” on Bronson:

I arrived on location at the science block in Welbeck Abbey to be greeted by a gay orgy scene in the prison showers. I was there because Nicolas wanted my input on his homage to William Friedkin’s CRUISING. “Are the tattoos and S&M leather gear 70s enough?” “What about the rimming action?” When I told him it all looked authentic and took me back to my New York days cruising The Mineshaft, my job was clearly done. The prison extras were local gay clubbers who once past the embarrassment of the straight crew seeing them naked threw themselves into it, especially when star Tom Hardy decided to don the rubber gimp outfit and join in.

Haha! *g*

I have no idea what to say about this except I would not put it past the director of Bronson to think doing a homage to Cruising would be a good plan.

Where ontd_lost goes, I follow…

1. Go to BAD TRANSLATOR.
2. Type in some Lost quote/phrase into the text box.
3. Set the number of translations to “MAX” for MAXIUMUM LULZ.
4. Click “TRANSLATE” and wait.
5. Share your results here!

- “The box is a metaphor” = “If you have questions, issues” [Yes, he does…]

- “Live together, die alone” = “10,000 in life” [Um.]

- “We have to go back!” = “Back!” [Well, it’s concise.]

- “No John, unfortunately we don’t have a code for ‘there is a man in my closet holding a gun to my daughter’s head’. Although we obviously should…” = “John came to me: “This is her first child. …” [I have no idea. Also, this one got tremendously inappropriate half way through!]

HELLO KITTY PANTYLINERS?!!
Found this while shopping today!

Submitted by jfvkinglyswoutyy

Do the actual pantyliners have Hello Kitty on them too or is it just on the box?

Only Intimate truly understands the need for kittens in your nether regions! I am trying to work out what the worried (excited?) looking cat is saying in the picture. ‘What a cute ???’ I think given the context it’s perhaps best not to speculate.
