I’ve been thinking about Jarritos for some time now. They’re popular in our neighborhood. The deli on the corner stocks them. I bought these seven varieties at Western Beef—also within walking distance. At first, the thing that attracted me, was the picture on the label of a container, other than the container in which they’re actually sold. The Jarritos corporate narrative explains this: The brand name finds its origin in the Mexican tradition of drinking ...

It's not terribly often that you get to interview a feminist icon. Well, I mean, I guess it's getting more common for me, but still, it's pretty cool. So when my colleague over at Glamocracy asked me if I wanted to interview Lilly Ledbetter, I was like, "Hell, yeah." Don't recognize her name? If you ever have to sue for unequal pay, you will want to be thanking her — her case against Goodyear spawned ...

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes. In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska trotted out the usual creationist education canard: "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both." Teaching evolution and creationism in a scientifically balanced way is simply impossible. Evolution is accepted by scientists as ...

This is one of my non-negotiable issues. I understand a plurality of Americans may hold differing views on evolution, however, so it's clearly not political suicide. This distresses me.

You know, I think I may have been a little harsh on Guyland author Michael Kimmel yesterday. I think there was validity to some of what he said on the Today show, and that it could be applied to both sexes: that there is an extended adolescence these days that has left everyone, not just men, confused about their adult roles. For fucks sake, by the time my Grandparents were my age, they had two ...

Courtesy of Good Machine On the long list of movies we never in a million years thought we'd ever see sequels to, Todd Solondz's Happiness was surely somewhere near the top — until today! Variety reports that new indie production company Werc Werk Works is financing Solondz's "part-sequel, part-companion piece" to the 1998 pedophile comedy. Like the original, Happiness 2 (our title) will be told through a "series of intersecting love stories" about a "group ...

Although it’s probably the worst mistake you can make as a journalist, it periodically happens to big media publications. Earlier today, Bloomberg sent a 17-page obituary of Steve Jobs over the wire, quickly retracting it with the following message: “An incomplete story referencing Apple Inc. was inadvertently published by Bloomberg News at 4:27 p.m. New York time today. The item was never meant for publication and has been retracted.” There’s nothing much to be said ...

At the NYIGF booth of design partners, Lovegrove & Repucci, I saw “Greenaid,” an ingenious shopping bag that comes packed in a soft, zippered hand-grenade. Greenaid’s tagline: “Declare war on plastic!” I’ve covered hand-grenade packaging before, and like some of those—(Flowerbomb, for example)—this one manages to have it’s cake and eat it too. (A peace-loving eco product with borrowed war-time glamour.) More than that, it appears to solve a frequently encountered modern problem: you’re at ...

It's been a few months since Heinz pulled its "gay kiss" mayonnaise ad and now, just to prove to the world that they like chicks, they have come up with a new ad showing chicken and potatoes arranged to look like a seductive, voluptuous woman. Appetizing, no? We can just imagine the cracks made over at Heinz HQ over this ad: "Get a load of the taters on that one!" Visual humor involving women's bodies ...
