10 Tips For Going Green In College

recycle-reuse-reduce.jpgGetting ready to throw yourself back into that world of dorming? And do you care about the environment? Well, good luck. Being green, in some dorms, is pretty freakin’ hard. Recycling bins are nowhere to be found, resources are being wasted left and right and most of the kids around you don’t care.

That doesn’t mean you have to throw in the non-recyclable towel. There are so many things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and give back to Mother Earth. Here are some tips to help the planet and inspire your peers to do the same:

1. Skip the single serving snack-packs. Get a big bag and make your own single-serving portion in a small plastic bag when you’re on the go. Wash the bag out when you’re done and do it again the next time. It’s that easy.

2. Chill out with the AC. Tons of college students keep their AC’s running just because they can. That’s not cool! (Note: yes, the pun was intended.) Don’t act like a monkey when it comes to the environment. Leaving your AC running while you’re out hurts the planet regardless of whether or not you’re paying the bill. Read More »

Big Brother Gives Sweden Pink belly, People Outraged.

big-brother-poster.jpg

In a fit of fear inspired by terrorism and Internet crime, former privacy-is-sacred country Sweden has decided to change their laws regarding digital privacy. This week, a law will be voted on that would give Swedish government and police forces the ability to fully monitor phone, email, and Internet traffic going into and out of the country.

Additionally, because Sweden is used to routing data to its European neighbors, it would give those Agencies access to the data headed to nearby countries. That means you. Read More »

STD E-Cards are Great…Unless You’re Receiving One, Which is Totally NOT COOL

STD ecard

Congratulations! You have an STD! (Nope. That’s not funny at all.)

What better way to celebrate the most unfortunate of problems than by sending an STD E-Card to your past girlfriends and/or flings commemorating the event?

inSPOT, the website responsible for the STD E-Cards, seem to be pitching them as an alternative method for introverted, emo kids who would rather not go through the trouble of actually talking to their past hookups face to face. Oopsy Daisy indeed.

If this “trend” catches on, it just proves how severely f***ed up our generation is.

As for me, I have hope for our generation: with the right spin, expect these STD E-Cards to be sent to every Tom, Dick and Jane with an email address. We are sick, cynical bastards who take nothing seriously, just like our parents always tell us. Congrats to us!

Until there’s a better way to relay the bad news to your ex-flames (outside of telling them in person or over the phone or by email or any other way more respectable than a f**king E-Card), I guess they will have to do, right? These digital disease warnings are a healthy reminder on why girls shouldn’t hook up with you in the first place, you selfish, shamless, careless piece of sh*t.

Vivica Fox Sex Tape: She Gets Down

vivica foxWay to start 2008 off with a bang, Vivica!

It’s being reported confirmed that the still-very-hot Vivica Fox has a sex tape floating around the web - I’ll keep my eye out for it, I know - and she isn’t too happy about it.

The story goes a bit like this: Fox was drunk and getting frisky with some random dude in Atlanta. She proceeded to give the fellow a blo…well, she stimulated him orally. Acting like any anybody lucky enough to be orally serviced by Fox, the guy taped everything going down - on his cell phone.

After the deed was done he emailed the video to his friends, who emailed it to Fox, who contacted the Atlanta police department, and so on.

Fox wants the scandal to be handled privately. That request must’ve not fared well, considering that we’re talking about it (and awaiting a link to the tape).

All Fox rhymes with ***** jokes may start now.

Alycia Lane Brings the Pain!

Alycia Lane

The New York Post reported that Philly’s fiesty, Emmy Award-winning anchorwoman Alycia Lane was arrested after calling a female cop a “dyke b*tch” then punching her in the face. Sexy anchorwoman meltdowns are so hot right now.

Lane, 35, was riding around with her boy-toy Chris Booker (also a media personality in Philly; he’s a DJ at Q102) when a slow-moving car in front of them (full of cops, natch) got on the couple’s nerves. Once the officers pulled over their cab and confronted the two rabblerousers Lane decided it would be a great idea to start snapping pictures of the incident as it unfolded.

Attitudes where shown, spots were blown, punches were thrown - pretty gangsta to say the least. Lane’s exact quote is as follows: “I don’t care that you’re a cop - dyke b*tch!”

All of this from an Emmy Award-winning anchorwoman. Read More »

Wanna Go on a Crazy Blind Date?

Crazy blind date

Blind dates can be scary. They can also be fun. The scary / fun part depends on your idea of a good time and your date’s idea of normal.

Most of us go on blind dates pretty confident we’re not about to meet our soulmate, but always hope there’s enough of a connection to make dressing up to impress worth it. Blind dates are our way of doing something fun and spontaneous, something slightly nerve wracking but full of possibilities, a reason to get out of the house or apartment and have a drink made by somebody else.

The only thing is, if you’re not big into internet profiles and don’t have a lot of friends trying to go all “Matchmaker’ on you, blind dates don’t actually happen that often.

That is, unless you sign up for Crazy Blind Date. Read More »

Jim Norton For President!

Jim Norton

When Stephen Colbert announced his candidacy for President earlier this week it generated a wave of excitement. However, there’s one problem with Stephen; he’s not enough of a scumbag to be a politician. America needs someone who doesn’t care.

We need someone who speaks to the common man. We need someone who instead of using prepared statements by focus group, tells it like it is. That is why I nominate everyone’s favorite self proclaimed, meaty-breasted zilch, Jim Norton for President of the United States. Read More »
