It’s reported that a first impression is made within the first 20 seconds of meeting someone new. Within that first 20 seconds, we will draw conclusions and make value judgments – consciously or unconsciously – about things like a person’s ability, social standing and intellect. [Read more...]

Do you believe in free will? Or do you have more of a determinist point of view?
The debate was revisited recently in The New York Times.
It comes down to a basic question of choice – do we make choices or are we compelled to do what we do by predetermined factors? [Read more...]
Meet Jenny. (UPDATE: August 13, 2010 – Interview w/ ‘Jenny’ on LemonDrop)
Jenny is our new hero.
Well, actually, Jenny is our would-be-hero had we thought Jenny was real.
But, alas, it was a hoax.

But it doesn’t matter, because the folks at The Chive, who hired Jenny (whose real name is Elyse Porterfield) — well, they still made our day reading this bit about a women who quit her job via dry erase board and outed her icky, icky, icky boss at the same time.
We, the women folk, who have put up (or currently are putting up) with skeezy men — yes, we can relate, we can appreciate, we can sympathize.
Heck, anyone who has ever been in Jenny’s situation (or something similar) could relate, man or woman.
And that, my friends, is the key to making something go viral in the social space: [Read more...]
In recent years, there has been a trend online and offline to make parodies of well-known entities. The idea has been to take the very best, the very worst, and the very ridiculous out of them, turning the new creations into hybrids built on well-intentioned humor.
From Harry Potter‘s Puppet Pals and “The Mysterious Ticking Noise” (over 83 million views), to Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) mockery-extrordinary “The Guild” (over 40 million views combined), to Pride and Prejudice and ZOMBIES –
What?
Yes, zombies. It takes the original work by Jane Austen and [Read more...]

St. Iker
I know, I know, I’ve been in World Cup mode for a month, but now it’s over 
And you Pink Book readers are either really excited about this post, or thanking Zeus, Poseidon and Hades that this is my last one for awhile – at least until Euro 2012 and Brasil 2014.
But aren’t they just the cutest?

The little, tubby, orange, Chilean, Oompa Loompa, her ‘Situation’ and their teletubby Jersey imports have landed.
They’ve invaded mi Miami.
“You’re the Kryptonite to my f–king tan” – Snooki
Zeus, Hades, hath, hell and Hera save us because there is no stopping the damn poof now.
The Jersey Shore has left the northeast and traveled south to Miami. It’s an infection MTV is spreading, like a whiff of the New Jersey air that you just can’t shake upon arrival in Newark airport. Just the thought of it makes you cringe, that trashy, sulfur, tart scent that makes your body shudder in sympathy for the people who actually [Read more...]

Imagine your driving down the highway late at night.
The crisp air from your AC is brushing against your skin, soaking into your consciousness thereby pushing a deeper yearning into your being just to get where you are going.
In the distance, your eyes glimpse over to the billboard sign.
It’s not like you don’t know what it says, you always know what it says; it never changes. It’s always some crummy car advert, or winking white-smiling woman telling you to buy laundry detergent — you know the typical stuff.
Well, not really anyway, not until that faithful Thursday night when that big boobed blonde chick with delectable red lips was seen.
Maybe it’s a new lipstick advert?
She moves and the camera pans to a shirtless man. Before you know it, she’s on her knees and — *car tires screeching* HOLY S#@! — it’s porn! [Read more...]

Hey y’all
So, if you have been following my tweets and Facebook status messages, you know that I was Harrietta Potter this past Halloween. But since I don’t really ‘celebrate’ Halloween, I’ve renamed it Harry Potterween…instead of Harvest! etc. Mostly because it gives me an excuse to dress up like the characters in my favourite book series ever!
I hope you had a safe October 31 with lots of candy!
Ah well, you can see my costume [Read more...]
