Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

the goth one is ridiculous

That's a better review of Send than the one that appeared in Slate.

It better be a joke, there's a 13-yr old on here.

How does one determine their price? One of the girls is just over $99K whereas one is just under $6K. Is that the price of virginity?!

I think it HAS to be a joke.

no way that's real
sorry

finally!

The site design is pretty hip-tastic, I suspect aspiring graphic designers.

Is it some kind of internet performance art?

Not real according to Urban Legends page.

I love reading transcripts of speech with all the "uh"s and "um"s included.

MarryOurDaughter is a great hoax, though, inasmuch as it preys on our willingness to believe the worst about Christian fundamentalists.

I figured it was totally fake, but I figured it would be worth a look anyway.

Surely no one has ever married their daughter off at a young age in order to keep her out of trouble, no.

jaymc otm :-/

I mean, we don't believe that stuff for no reason at all, there's at least a reasonable amount of weirdness to go on.

And according to the NYT.

Mr. Ordover is a science-fiction editor with a prankish history and an interest in urban nudism.
YES

HA! By the same dude that did technicalvirgin.com.

an interest in urban nudism
an interest in urban nudism

totally different from suburban and rural nudism

It's broken glass-ier.

Dov Cheney?

Charney.

You know, the American Apparel dude.

Who likes to whip it out.

Wait, who?

The CEO of American Apparel.

I thought he was no longer CEO.

According to Wikipedia, he's still in charge and three of the four sexual harrassment cases have been settled.

Yep, it's always that fourth sexual harassment case that'll get you.

i'd imagine if four people file sexual harassment charges against you you begin to examine your life.

Jenny, what is that?

Is it an actual ad for Am. Ap?

WTF that ad.

xp, yeah, is that real?

More on the "ad":

Unless you're that dude. He did notoriously jerk off in front of a Jane interviewer. That seems to suggest that he lives a wholly unexamined life, vis a vis his interactions with women.

xp - it's a fashion spread in i-D magazine. (warning - will resize yr browser.) Here's some commentary on it.

i'd imagine if four people file sexual harassment charges against you you begin to examine your life.

i'd say by the time you get to four, you are already suffering from an acute lack of self-examination.

HA xpost!

I owned that Jane issue!! I bought it for a plane trip & literally had to read the incident THREE times because I kept thinking, "Wait. What?! No..." but yes.

That ad is so demeaning. Not only does she look reminiscent of Aunt Jemima but the bold, exaggerated lips conjure "pickaninny" which is also awful.

ah ha. now i read what jenny posted. so i agree with that article!

Jane is racist

xp to Kelsey - Aye, me too. And I am very disappointed (although unsurprised) by the first couple comments on the post that John linked.

the comments on that post remind me of the ronaldinho thread. I think a lot of people are just not aware of the history of racist iconography. which is a problem.

wow. Even that dude's Lemmy beard looks lame. :(

the AA dude, obv.

Yikes! Just read those . . . isn't it amazing how ignorant seemingly educated people are? That second person who commented writes like a perfectly intelligent person they just aren't thinking the ad through in its entirety.

The jerking-off-in-public is why I mentioned him in the first place. "Urban nudism."
