Geek is chic.
It seems there's a new app released daily that can help us either achieve a goal or kill some time. I suppose these two new apps could fall under either category. First up, the PoGo Android app. In case any of you are still using your PoGo printers (or are hankering for a new one), things are about to get a lot easier for you.

Although I'm all about dressing up like my favorite video game characters on Halloween, I'm not too sure I can get behind this lingerie collection based on the Wii title No More Heroes 2. Sure, the gals in the game are wearing such garments (it's rated M for a reason, folks), and it is almost Comic-Con time (not that you'd want to go outside in any Read more
In this edition of "we all know sex sells but why are these products so darn creepy?" we will be looking at the Glowfur's line of glowing fur swim suits, short skits and faux-glowing fur jackets. The company, which touts its "creative approach of matching just the right kind of faux fur with special internal lighting technology," has been the talk of geektown this week and while I know bright Read more

There were lots of reasons to tune in to the Super Bowl this year. Eli Manning vs. Tom Brady. Madonna's halftime show. And of course, the commercials. As expected, advertisers still think sex sells, and we saw many examples of sexualized, half-naked women during the commercial breaks. But they weren't the only ones to strip. David Beckham showed off his soccer bod for H&M and an M&M Read more
Sex sells — especially for Super Bowl ads — and year after year, major companies try to get away with the raciest, steamiest ads possible, often at the expense of women.

If you're a fan of the Rock of Ages musical, you might find yourself cheering and clapping along with the trailer for the big-screen version of the show. If you're like me (who has never seen the show), then you might be a little more confused as to what this movie is actually about.
